    Treating Your Band Like a Business

    http://www.musicbizacademy.com/knab/ I took his course years ago...geared mostly for originals. It was great at the time, but I am a cover guy and my bandmates discounted all the info I brought to them...so LOL

    Ok, I have to ask it: WHY IS WEIGHT OF THE BASS SUCH A PRIORITY!?

    Squiers! Who owns more than two? If so why?

    I have 4...a P, a P/J, and 2 jag shorties. All have been modded and sound awesome. I play them all and never have to worry about banging them around. I really wonder how a squier could be the "holy grail" of anything tho?

    Question For Part-Timers On $$$$

    3 guitars is too many in my book. Keys take up too much room and get in my sonic space. Everyone sings! Even if they aren't that good, there is no excuse not to at least sing some backups. I wouldn't play in a bar band where someone says "I don't sing". Did I mention..everyones sings! Of course...

    Some thoughts on our set list

    pick tunes off the video games, then you get to play classic rock tunes that the younger crowd knows.

    is a 4x10 plus a 1x15 silly?

    Why not run thru the PA and stay with the 2x10?

    Cover Band Experiences - Does your band expect a jukebox?

    I play some spot on (someone mentioned Billie Jean), others not so much ("Word Up"). There is no written rule, no guide. The goal is to make women dance and sell booze and keep them there (if you are in a bar/club). I personally do care much for the "I play it note for note" crowd. Come close...

    NBD- Carvin BB76

    This thread makes me want to pull my BB75 out of the closet and play it. I was my main bass for about 15 years, the only bass I gigged or recorded with! Awesome bass for sure! I might have to bring it for the Mardi Gras festivities Saturday. I switched to 4 string about 2 years ago, I love them...

    Going Wireless. Yes or No?

    I've been using a shure pgx for about 5 years with no issues. I will never go back to cords! Sure you have more to bring in, but it's not that big a deal. Batteries last 2 4 hours gigs. You can go out front and hear how you actually sound, not how you think you sound. Of course you can dance...
