For me it is Pick Three and I will do it: - Good hang - Good audience - Good music - Good money

Wow that is 100% true. New entry to favorite quotes list!

After 6 years of cover band gigging, this pic finally cleared up what an actual 'effects loop' is for. Wow man, thanks! MIND BLOWN ...and to stick with the thread: Bass => G50 Wireless => Zoom B3 with compression and amp sim => PA

HONDO STORY! In 1986 I bought my FIRST BASS, a Hondo warlock style that was tomato red (awful color) at a pawn shop in Salem, MA. I was in highschool. Never took lessons and had no idea what I was doing. It was stolen out of my dorm room in college a few years later.

HA omg I thought we were the only ones that thought that... ;) Now we stick Plush at the very beginning to let everyone know we are a 'classic/current blend' and people seem to like it.

My guitard uses a 'low end' Sennheiser. I use the Line6 G50. His Sennheiser is all plastic with a thin antenna sticking out the top. My G50 is metal. His Sennheiser ran low on batteries halfway through a gig once and sent the most awful, loud, screaming static through the PA you have ever...
