Thanks everyone. Should have known peeps in Florida and east coast would know how to deal with swampy heat. It’s a “Dry heat” in my neck of the woods, but still makes ruins the gig for me if I’m uncomfortable.

That looked like a good one thx

Can’t find an existing thread. Please excuse. Been playing a bunch of warm weather gigs. Too hot. Does anyone have a recommend for a contractor grade or similar floor fan? Something small, rugged, but really effective. Something to throw in the car for just in case. There must be a...

After seeing friends and family members go through it many times over the last few years, I’d echo @57pbass . The recovery experience is all over the map. Some friends are pretty functional quickly, and some are in a lot of discomfort many months later. Better to do it sooner than later, but...

The SH bass mute is a Jaguar guitar mute and available from parts vendors. I did a write up of how to install one, which takes a small amount of woodworking (drilling a few holes in the right spot). They a fiddley and kind of crude, but always available which is handy. My daughter has a...

2.4 GHz radio signals are difficult to contain and even small gaps can let some radiation out, plus Bluetooth beaconing signals that an AirTag would emit would be very short duration, so it wouldn’t take much for a nearby iPhone to hear a beacon and locate it. TLDR: your bass is a Faraday...

I’ve daydreamed of someday getting once since I found out about these guys. Death from above 1979 There is a cool rig rundown with their bassist.
