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...

Ok, long story short...a "label" based here in the UK, which shall remain nameless, had me come down for an audition and have decided they want to "take me on and develop me as an artist". (The audition was as a singer/songwriter... I write all my stuff on guitar, plus I get to be my own...

Got this e-mail from a "promoter's" mailing list i'm on:- "Hi Music Industry, Thanks for your emails applying to perform at various London venues. We have provided some available gig dates below. If you can confirm that more than 35 people/fans will attend your performance (regardless of...

Ok, I know this question has been posted many times before, but as situations differ between artists/managers/whatever and i'm pretty clueless i'm gonna ask again anyway!:hiding: I just landed a paid gig backing a singer/songwriter, who's asked me what my rates are, for rehearsal, travel and...

I just left a band where I wrote 80% of the material, and have told the guys out of courtesy that everything I have written I will be taking with me. My problem is that we did release an album through an indie label, and in my naiviety I signed a publishing contract where everything was split 5...

Hey everyone, Right i'll keep this short and sweet....do I stay with a band that i'm growing more and more unhappy with stylistically but has a deal and is starting to get national recognition, or do I walk away and risk missing out on any success that may come when the material is 70% mine...

anyone else get this:- "hey man, we can't do it like that" "why not?" "cuz it doesnt add up, it sounds to weird, its gotta be like this..." "It feels right, sounds good, why change it?" "It might feel right, but it doesnt add up maaaaaan" at which point a huge long discussion ensues...

Hi guys, Right...I just got hold of a marshall dbs 7200 head and plan to hook it up to my ashdown MAG 4x10 cab. The cab is 450W/8 ohm, the head is 200W and the minimum load is 4 ohm. Is this going to give me any problems?...I'm not exactly an expert in this field! cheers,

...Thought i'd share this with you all as it really worked for me, hopefully can for some of you too. Bit of background: I've been playing exclusively pick style since I started, and recently thought I really should start to develop a decent fingerstyle technique and learn new things to start...

...critiquing my playing?. I know this has been done to death already, although i'd love to hear what you guys, being all bassists, think of my playing/feel/tone/whatever. All opinions welcome, good or bad... Link Removed thanks in advance guys...:bassist:

Seriously, I see so much bad stuff on here about him, I just wanted to know why so many of you have something against the man?

Hey guys, I'd love any feedback and opinions on these tracks, positive and negative, from my bands new album which is being released in January. Find them at:- Link Removed Particuarly the bass playing, no such thing as bad criticism, just constructive! Thanks in advance guys...

Just wanted some of your guys thoughts on this kinda thing and how you deal with these situations. So i'm at rehearsal last night and we start work on a new, keys lead heavy-ballad kinda song (think "The Unforgiven" by Metallica), the kinda song that's really carried by the vocal melody and...

...and correct me if im wrong, (and I realise i'm putting myself in he firing line here) but they just sounded like dead rounds???. Basically i've never played anything but roto 66's and love the sound of a brand new set on my MIM P, but hearing so many people rave about the classic...

...anyone else played/have this bass? I got it and personally I love it, has a real agressive tone to it, even played clean. I find it really cuts through the mix both live and recorded and really has its own voice compared to a lot of other basses, kinda like an "angry" aerodyne jazz but with...
