I'm not saying its a bad thing to take time on the drums. There's just been gigs in small bars and we are going full out studio mic job on drums. I've never been one to complain on long sound checks. I prefer them. Its just funny to watch two drummers set up a bunch of mics and twist knobs for...

I just had a talk with my guitarist on why bass players make better sound men and it came down to the same points and reasoning. I deal with one sound Guy who is a little over the top with his drum mix ( he's a drummer) but in the end it sounds so good we all deal with the hour long drum sound...

The cover band I'm currently in has a nasty habit of not taking breaks and playing past the agreed time. So I gig that should be 9-1 turns into a 9-2:30 show with no breaks. There has been many times I have ran to the bathroom still playing. My wireless is a life saver some nights. Longest gig...

I played some little bar once and all the cute bartenders Nick named me "fingures". That was pretty funny. my favorite was when I was walking around during a break a group of people came up and said. "Hey! There's the lead guitar player! Man you're really good at guitar." Me "hey thanks but...

We just played hangman style for the first time Halloween weekend and the place went nuts. It was actually really funny. My bands kind of getting known as that band that rocks up new pop tunes. Its can be fun.

The band I'm currently in has had several shows like this over the years (rain out, p.a. Guy doesn't show, arguments on pay etc. ) and every time I'm the first to say let play anyways!! And plus playing in a "bar" setting is always more fun then "festivals" well, to me at least.

MXR has the new fuzz deluxe (awesome orange color) that I like a lot more then the blow torch for many reasons. But I really like the fuzz deluxe

+1 I had to do that once for a buddy lol

So I had a gig this weekend (medium sized bar) with a sound guy we have been using for about six months or more so he knows what we are all about and what we want our sound to be like, but he actually came up to me and said "man your bass sounds great just turn up your amp and I'm gonna take you...

Overkill?? I would bring that thing to coffee shop gigs.

Off 99% of the time. But I do use a good amount of fuzz and distortion

So turn the horn off. I used the horn (about have way on) on my svt610 all the time till it burnt out on me(hiss,crackle, distortion) so I turned if off and omg I loved the tone on it! So now i never use horns or very rarely. I would try it with out the horn. See if it tickles your fancy. If...

Great thread! I've learned a lot about EQing over the years but never thought to break it down like this. This really helps a lot.

Whatever happened with this Ric? Was it resolved under warranty? Ever find out what it was? I haven't sent it in yet in fear of lost or damaged shipping thanks to the holiday season. but it seems to be a short or loose connection in the front board the problem has gotten way worse. Just...

I got one a few months ago and it is awesome. you can do what ever you want with it, but...Im not sure on reliability because after 2 months of not so heavy use mine broke (sending it in to get repaired) it just crackles and fades in and out. not sure whats wrong with it. hope it doesn't happen...
