Sign in to disble this ad
My band is looking for a small clock that is fairly well lite so we know where we are in a set....
Any ideas or suggestions. I have looked in auto parts stores and none are bright enough.

| | | | Great pedal (not sure why it does A/B'ing too). I've been imagining such a device for years -good that someone made it, but the price is crazy. Should cost $20.

Clock cost about $15 back then. Now they're super cheap:

They work really good, you just look down at your wrist and you can tell what time it is instantly. Its not that amazing, but I'm sure you could find a functional one for much less than $169. |

Seriously though isn't one guy with a watch or a small travel clock(like I use)enough?

You are inferring that you can actually strap a time-keeping device onto your wrist.. and STILL play? Sorry, but my imagination can only go so far  |

LOL That'd be a GREAT sig.
O.T. I think I saw a guy once with a contraption strapped onto his wrist that amazingly resembled what you guys are talking about. That's *IF* my memory serves me correctly. |

We currnetly use cellpohne but it is pretty obvious we check them before we diced if we have to play Brown eyed girl or mustang sally one more time before a break, just don't want to look so obivious checking time. (None of us wear a watch, though we may make the guitard wear a drool bib)
