How was your gig last night?

We had a lovely gig last night, in what must be a unique venue, The Heron Theatre, Beetham, Cumbria. It's a grade 2 listed building in a small village, run as a charity entirely by volunteers. It serves a large rural catchment around south Cumbria where there aren't really many other venues of its kind. It was sold out well in advance at £15 a ticket. Great people to work with, nice dressing room, free tea, coffee & beer! 

 

We ran our own PA but spent the time to get the sound right and it really did sound great in the room as well as on stage. The audience loved it and many of them told us so. They are booked up June 2026, but we'll get another date after that.

I must be getting old because I couldn't hear a note I was playing during certain songs and kept thinking I was playing flat.

I would have thought if you could'nt hear what you were playing it meant you were at least in tune with the rest of the band, hit a few wrong notes and they seem to stick out like a sore thumb plus the stares you get from other band members. speaking from personal experience that us. http://basschat.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/%3C#EMO_DIR%23%3E/smile.png

 

I'm also having hearing issues. Last weekend I thought I was playing out of tune while my tuners indicated I was perfectly tuned.

Hi Dave,

 

No it's the 3x10. Same height and width as a SuperTwin, but slightly shallower front to back, which is great as it slides under the boot cover in my estate car. I've heard the 6x10 in close quarters and they are great, but I can't imagine me ever needing something that big. The 3x10 has been just perfect in any setting so far. I've had the 12" BF cabs but I just don't get on with them in the same way I do their 10's.

Thanks Rob all good to know how they fair live. Watched the 310 v 212 cabs on BF youtube clips and the 310 had a bit more punch but still kept its depth.

I occasionally come across that too. Never understood it so i just ignore it and start digging in a bit more. Keeps me happy 🤣

I didn't take any photos of last night, but someone passed on a video of us making a passable attempt at Fanfare. Unfortunately they missed off the initial fanfare, but hit record in time for the important bit 😜

 

Don't ask me what effect that is. It's a combination of a lot of things, I set it up years ago and can't remember the ingredients! I do end on a bottom B though 😄

 

 

Used to play that in early 80's and loved it then and that's a great version of it. Very nice indeed and that sound effect works really well with it.

Great to see a 3 piece band cover songs like this.

The nice GK amp will certainly be more than partly responsible too.😊

Had a GK1001RBii and couldn't take to it. Was very loud but just couldn't get a sound i liked.
