CWB: Hey 19

Not open for further replies.
hi all - just landed at JFK after a (too) brief visit to Ireland. Weather sure is changeable over there ... these were taken a couple of hours (and not far) apart:

Have to read over the last few pages of CWB and see what I missed ...
 
I, too, like my 210+115 combo (they're even mismatched, so bring on the hordes, I have plenty of ammo).

Two weeks ago I put out an ad on CL for a female singer. At first I got a few nibbles, but no real takers. This past Sunday, however, changed that. I got a solid bite from a singer that has a nice voice, but unfortunately our practice schedule doesn't work for her. Another singer emailed me, saying that she lives in the area of where we practice, and submitted her only recording - my guitarist is smitten with her. She can be heard here: Link Removed

Within 12 hours of her email came another email from a different singer. This one has a ton of singing experience with bands within our genre. She can be heard here

We're auditioning both on Sunday (at separate times, of course). I'm excited!
 
last couple of gigs and the one coming up, I've been playing through the front of the house. My pre-amp setups for bass guitar and upright weigh about 5 lbs. between them.

It was indeed a leap to move away from big bass cabs. But I actually think that in many venues it is a better mix from the audience's viewpoint if you go FOH with the rest of the band.

This was a major change, and I have the gear to go back if needed. But it's working pretty well right now.

I'd love to, if the venues that we played were big enough to need a FOH PA system.
 
I usually go 1 or 2 10s for stage volume and DI through the PA to round out the sound.

On a big outdoor stage I sometimes drag the big rig out - 300w tube amp, 2x10, 2x12, with a midrange driver and horn.

Don't need no stinking PA support then. But I always take it.

Wow...gorgeous set up
 
Alright...so I have this weird issue that I'm not entirely sure how to deal with...
A couple months ago, the S.O. (vox, guitar) and I were playing with a drummer. We've since moved on to a different drummer, so we haven't played with former drummer for a few weeks. When we played with former drummer, we introduced him to a few of our original songs...five with vocals and three without. So, today, S.O. gets a text from former drummer saying that he had recorded some of the practices(without our knowledge), and played them for the new band that he is playing with. They liked them, so they decided to play three of them out. Now, these are our original songs that they are out playing. I guess I'm a little flattered that someone wanted to "cover" our songs, but mostly I just feel violated...like really violated...and for those of you that know me well, you know that takes a LOT! Am I over reacting here? He really has no rights to any of our songs just because he played drums on them a few times, does he? To me, that just seems like a severe lack of integrity, and show of poor musicianship. These are our original songs. Aside from telling them to stop, I don't know what else to do. :(

I would be ticked off, too. I would, as politely as you can muster, tell them to stop, since the former drummer did not seek prior consent to playing songs that you and your husband wrote.
