    Who do you hang out with on set breaks?

    I usually end up hanging out the drummer in most of the bands I play with. Just such a close musical relationship between the 2 instruments I guess. I brought this up to my guitarist brother and he suggested that drummers and bassists hang out together because no one else will :(

    Small Ampeg head through an Ampeg 8x10??

    Hey yall! I'm new in the forum and wanted to ask a question. I run a house venue in my home state and I recently came into ownership of a really kickin' Ampeg SVT 8x10 cabinet. The idea is to backline this for other bands to come and use whenever they play, and leave a backline head on top as...

    Dave Case - Helmet - Bowery Ballroom - 10.26.2019 - G&L L-2000

    It was an amazing show. Cool to see the bassist Dave Case playing this trans-green G&L L-2000 thru some kinda GK RB stack. Lots of "clank"!

    What is the last show that really impressed/excited you ?

    What is the last show that really impressed/excited you ? What is the last show that really made a lasting impression on you & what do you remember of it ? What is the reason you were impressed and giddy with excitement ? Having seen a lot of shows or not so much, does it take even more to 'wow'...

    Sub for a theatre gig on May 12th in SF - 2 shows!

    Hey everyone! Looking for a sub for a new musical I'm playing in in San Francisco. It's a super fun show and the cast are great. It's a Saturday and we have a matinee and an evening show. The parts are written out, so we need a decent reader! If you're interested DM me and we can talk details!

    How do you memorize your parts for live shows?

    Sheer memory, sheet music, notes? I sub and sometimes can't remember a part the week after the gig ("Did I play that?").

    How much does everyone drink during shows and jams?

    Just wondering how much do people usually consume alcohol during shows or whenever playing. I'm mainly having a couple before a show or enough to get me going and more depending on how its going. How do everyone else feel about this? And how do you guys go about it

    I would like to create my own music I love Funk and Jazz fusion the faster stuff.

    Portable audio/video recording setup for shows

    One of the things we’re wanting to do with our YouTube (but also all social media) this year is to start putting up better quality video of shows. But paying people to come out and do it gets expensive and pretty much eats away any profits the band makes that show so it’s nit something we can...

    Do you still enjoy going to shows?

    My other half and I went out to see Pink Martini last night. I didn't enjoy it much and we left at intermission. I've never cared for concerts much to begin with, but that has certainly picked up as I've gotten older. Some of it has to do with my preferred method of consuming music - not in a...

    New bass player for your '60's soul band and he shows up with this, recommendations...

    So, you need a new bass player for your current '60's soul cover band and are holding auditions. A bass player with good "chops" shows up with a good P sounding bass and a Dynaco MK111, 60 watt amp and a 2 x 15" JBL D140F Cabinet from away back then. What do you do or recommend?

    As a kid what shows...

    As a kid what series did you start watching because of the music. For me first i remember was about 9 years old when in 1958 the Peter Gunn series showed up and was completely intrigued by the music.

    EBay shows the decline of humanity

Items that perfectly worked became mysteriously defective once they were delivered. Items suddenly got defective on the 29th day...

    What's the bad news if my speaker doesn't work and shows 1 ohm?

    One of the 15" speakers in a cab that I just got doesn't make any noise and reads 1 on the ohm meter. No visible damage and no rub.

    Live shows too loud

    Hopefully this applies to this forum. Maybe it's my ripe old age of 43 but I'm finding some live shows just sound like crap due to the fact that they're just running everything hot and it blends into one big blurb of noise that is not enjoyable. I love heavy music but recently I went to a...

    Does anyone use a passive DI with a passive p-bass for live shows?

    I have never paid much attention to DI boxes. Usually the the sound guy at the club uses whatever he has on hand. But apparently, from what I've read, you're supposed to use an active DI with a passive bass. I mentioned this to the sound guy at my upcoming gig, and he said he had a passive DI...

    Underrated TV Shows

    I just saw that Quarry was canceled after 1 season. How does a great series get cancelled while garbage keeps getting renewed? Rogue - cancelled after 4 seasons. Banshee - cancelled after 4 seasons. Kingdom - 3rd and final season. Low Winter Sun - cancelled after 1 season.

    Multiple(?) chord question. When it shows say G/A the bass line shows A?
