    Want to see something really scary? (FedEx content)

    I had a similar experience with an amp shipped via FE. It arrived in DFW then spent over a week bouncing back and forth between FE distribution facilities. Eventually it was delivered, after a few phone calls to FE. FE driver said the bar code on the shipping label had been damaged and their...

    When did cover gigs balloon to 3 hours?

    4 hours- 3 sets is the norm for us...always has been. that's roughly 32-36 songs depending on song lengths. Consequently, we have approx 120 songs on our master song list to rotate set content and customize sets for the venue, or keep it fresh for venues where we play regularly.

    Buy once, cry once, wireless.

    friend of mine dumped his wireless gear over a year ago and got XVive units for his bass, mic, & ears. He's used them extensively and after a recent gig when I asked him about them he said he has had nothing but positive experience with them. He raved about the simplicity and small size as...

    Fender Tre-Verb & One Stop ?

    Don't need it...I have a powered pedal board but my power supply is feeding enough 9v standard mA pedals that it won't have the needed 310 MA for the Tre-Verb to run quietly.

    Fender Tre-Verb & One Stop ?

    I have a Tre-Verb coming my way. And since the pedal does not come with it's own power supply for the needed 310mA, I'm hunting for a proper power supply and have landed on the One Stop. Being 1,700 mA, is that overkill? I've read that the pedal will only draw what it needs and have also...

    Is "Noodling between songs" the most unprofessional offense at gigs?

    I can't stand noodlers. . . Never have understood the noodler. What is it that drives the constant need to noodle? They're like run-on talkers who never shut up. You ask them a question and they talk for 20 minutes. Or a soup slurper...it's just one slurp after another. Didn't anyone ever...

    Can I use a wireless...

    just buy or build a proper cable. for the $ you'd spend on a wireless, which won't work, you can get whichever length speaker cable you need. next question: Can you use $19.95 blue tooth ear buds from Amazon for IEMs? yes, but they'll sound like crap and have so much latency you'll be brain...

    Any Steve Martin comedy fans out there???

    If you can find it, read his autobiography. I know he's written a lot of books but this one covers his live and career up to the point of getting cast in The Jerk. It's a good story...he talks about his childhood, living adjacent to Disney Land, getting into magic, then comedy, and touring as...
