    Help "letting go" a band member

    The issue is that this is my first band. I have never fired anyone. Our band is like family. Try telling your mom that she sucks at being a mom so you are replacing her. A band need to be like family, or else it's like work. What's the point in being in a band if its work. We love what we do...

    Thanks everyone. Really helpful. To the select few people who think they are tough sh1t. I wanted people's opinions on what they thought was right. If you don't like what you read, click the back button and keep scrolling. No one is impressed that you thought you was cool.

    Ibanez acoustic bass

    Thanks. I played one in the music shop I go to and loved playing it, just wondered what it was like when you amped it and stuff. So thanks. That was helpful.

    Dumbest thing I've ever been told at a gig. Ever.

    At our last show, we were done and saying a few last words. The sound guy kills the mics as I am saying congrats to my gfs little sister for graduating, then goes upstairs and goes to bed. Apparently he lives above the bar. I just couldn't believe he couldn't wait till we was done lol.

    I would agree if he was a good drummer to begin with. Like I said, he is a friend, but a horrible drummer. He doesn't know hot to tune his set properly. It just always sounds like crap. And he can't keep a tempo to save his life. So either way he's not a good suit for the band.

    We don't have another drummer yet, but we are gonna do a acoustic "tour" until we find one. We play all original and all are written acoustically then we add all the fun stuff. So everything sounds amazing both ways (not trying to toot our horn lol. Guitarist just writes some bad ass tunes).

    Ibanez acoustic bass

    I am looking at buying an ibanez AEB5E. I am very poor, but they are a reasonable price. Wondered if anyone has one and has played out with it. Just wondering if its worth it. Thanks

    Help "letting go" a band member

    So here's the deal. I am bass player/manager of a 3 man band. The drummer just quit showing up to practice. Then told me and the guitarist that we need more practice. We had a show last Thursday and we bombed it. Played through every song when it was supposed to end, and had to stop playing in...

    New amp

    Finally got to play my amp at a band practice and man the thing just ****ing rocks! I haven't turned the volume up past 3 yet. The sound quality is great too! It over all is an amazing rig.

    Dumbest thing I've ever been told at a gig. Ever.

    I read through all of these and literally laughed out loud. I am in my first band and haven't played any shows yet. After reading these I am excited and filled with terror at the same time. Hahaha
