    Soundchecks all that worthwhile???

    That's my point, we all know (or at least pretend to know) what we're doing, is it that hard to set die levels and not have an hours worth if mindless tweaking? I can't take it anymore...?

    Soundchecks all that worthwhile???

    I'm talking the bar gigs most of us do, not arena shows!! It seems to me that sound checks nowadays have become so ingrained as part of the process that they barely serve a purpose anymore?. Case in point, I played as a sub with a trib band where the check lasted 1.5 hours, minus mic checks!. I...

    Fender Aerodyne Jazz vs Fender Duff McKagan P

    Having owned both, my vote is for the aerodyne. Duffs bass is awesome, however it's very much duffs bass, ie the Geddy jazz is as versatile as you wanna make it, whilst the duff sig gives you that appetite tone and nothing else. To avoid any confusion, Duff is the reason I picked up a bass in...

    ADVICE FROM FLAT WOUND USERS PLEASE

    Everyone seems to be looking for a brighter flat at the moment, I jumped in the deep end with some La Bellas when I switched. Now I play RS66's on my p/j and La Bella 760FL's on my P. You can't really get much different in sounds but thats what led to roundwounds in the first place right...
