Yep. In my books it was a total win!

We had a great NYE gig last night, despite the comedy of errors that preceded the gig. Guitar player, (band leader for 1 of the bands,) doesn't show for setup or soundcheck. finally mosies in at 9 and explains that he was at a wake the night before and didn't get to sleep until 9am that...

this is one of my favorite Italian cook books: La Dolce Vita Cookbook: Amazon.ca: David Rocco: Books

So my gig last night was the first time I've played the setup with a full band as I'd mentioned before. I was right about giving the guys something to laugh about. More importantly the head sounded great at the higher stage volume and my bass definately cut through the mix much more clearly...

Yep, Russell you are correct. I just had a terminology fail is all.

Hahaha, yeah. I actually really like the Bassman. It's a nice sounding amp and I've played it on almost every gig I've done since last November and that's around 200 shows. It's reliable, tough as hell and as I said before it sounds pretty decent. I really like the Acoustic 150 though. It...

Hey all, so against my better judgement (as well as despite advice I received on here a while ago), I traded one of my Squier J-basses for an Acoustic 150 head. I think it was a case of too many basses not enough old amp type situations that caused all the problems. lol. Anyways, I brought...

Hmm, no eh? Are they just meh amps or is it a price thing?

Hi guys, I just found this on kijiji: Link Removed I was thinking about trading my Squier Classic Vibe series J-bass for it, but don't want to pull the trigger until I know if this is a good deal. What do you all think? Yes or No?

Hey all, My name's Noel, I should probably re-title this as my first started thread on this side I've been on tour for the last 9 and a half weeks, (3 1/2 weeks out East and 6 up North), and the only reason for this post is that I've been stuck on the slab (which I love), for the whole tour...

Hey all, I have a 2000 MIA J-bass and over the last week I have noticed while on my gig, always during the first set of the night and generally during the first song or two, the neck pickup seems to just sort of...crap out on me. It's really weird. Everything will be fine and then it's...

Well, I'm in Inuvik NWT right now for a 6 week covers gig and the temp outside is currently 2 degrees celcius, 36 F.

I know I'm new here, but I really don't understand the need to insult sound guys. I also know that I'm going to get blasted for my opinion below, but I'm cool with that. :cool: I think it's fine to be picky about "your" sound when it's coming out of your amp. When it's coming out the FOH it's...

Wow, that was really interesting! Thanks for that.

I think one of the biggest advantages to sites like facebook is using them to network with people in the same industry as you that you may not normally have a chance to interact with. For example, for a musician facebook is an invaluable tool in that I can add a person to my facebook friends...

That's a lovey J-bass! As a fellow Fender freak, I heartily approve. Enjoy her!

Frankly, I can't see how anyone has trouble staying up for a 1-2 hour drive home. Just Sayin'... Most, (90% +) of my gigs are out of towners. On cover weekends, which are every weekend when we aren't actively on tour, are usually 8-10 hours away and we always leave after our Saturday gig. I am...

This was a fun gig! YouTube - ‪Jason Kirkness - I Play the Music - Summer in the City 2011‬‏

I'd say that if you're just planning to have a bunch of friends down to party then you'll be fine. However, with a setlist like that you probably won't have much luck getting a dance floor packed with strangers. If you're planning on persuing playing in a cover band for money or just to keep...

That thing is so sassy looking! Congrats on a beautiful bass.

Wow. I would not in a million years agree to play that "party" after the email she sent you, never mind the $500 each! I would however, do what a previous poster suggested and send an Op/Ed piece in to the local paper explaining why there will be no music at this celebration, and would...

So far; Getting hired to play a Musexpo gig in LA at the Whisky A Go-Go and being a member of the only band that night to get an encore. Playing a major label showcase as a hired gun and helping score the artist a development deal. Spending 6 of the craziest weeks ever in Inuvik NWT playing 6...

sweet! I thought that I wasn't the only person who would be down for the pig roast.

As I'm from the Great White North, and a prairie boy to boot I'd have my festival on some farm land. I think I'd charge around $50. Water would be free to those who were smart enough to bring a water bottle and I'd charge a one time fee to provide a bottle of water with unlimited free refills...

I think that bass is all kinds of killer! I would totally rock that beast in my country band for oh so many reasons. Also, I know I'm new around here and don't want to stir up any sh&% but dude really? If you don't like the topic why would you continue reading? just sayin' :)

Two passive J-basses, A.M.P. Tube preamp> Fender Bassman 250 1X15 That's for the rowdy loud shows. For the acoustic shows. Eastman Strings VB 120 Double Bass into the same amp and Pre.

Hi there, I just joined the site myself not to long ago and have found it to be super informative! This is actually my first post in the Double Bass forum, so....Hi everyone! I've been only playing the big bass myself for a couple of years after playing slabs for close to 17 years. The things...

Hmmmmm, yeah I found a couple when I did a google search. Turns out it doesn't seem to be such a great price. Good thing too, because the last thing I need is yet another bass...the wife would have my guts for garters!

Fantastic! Thanks for putting this up. Gonna go practice the big bass now so I can play this well. Kudos.

Oh, wow. That is a beautiful bass! Congrats!

Hi ladies and Gents of TB! I just ran across this ad in my local classifieds and thought it looked interesting. I thought I'd share the link and see what you all thought about it. Not really in the market for a new bass but if it's a steal then...:help: Link Removed Thanks all. :)

It's more skill, networking, and business acumen than luck. You can make a fair living playing music unless you're trying to be a rock star. Then, it's more luck than skill.

Why the hate for someone that is doing exactly what is necessary in a pop band? and doing it well I might add... Look, this is a simple equation; U2 makes pop music. POP music. Pop stands for popular does it not? Popular would indicate that a lot of people have to enjoy it. Generally you have...
