I'm not sure what is funny about working for the things you want. If someone wants something badly enough, they find a way to get it. Otherwise they sit on the couch and whine about what they don't have.
Not sure if you're serious. It was funny.

My youngest wanted a Sega system. He and I raked Pecans for three days so he could buy the console. My pay went to the console also. Not thing wrong with matching funds for those we love.
Sometimes life isn't as simple as some want it to be. You could be working your butt off and still not be able to afford some things.
That's what's funny about it... the fact that it seems like that wasn't obvious.
Wanting something badly enough doesn't mean you can find a way. Sometimes you can't. And I'm all about working to get what you want... I just know that it isn't always that simple.
What blues am I singing? I'm simply aware that everyone doesn't figure into this cookie cutter thinking.
You don't have to sing the blues, besides that troll house cookies are free form. no cookie cutters used, cookie sheets most of the time.What blues am I singing? I'm simply aware that everyone doesn't figure into this cookie cutter thinking.

In my first band, we tried this once at a private gig. Lasted about 5 seconds before I put a stop to it. The super loud sound of annoying kick, louder than your bass through your amp covering you up with drummer. Worst sound ever. #neveragain #whitefacetx #outtaluckband
A$2 million dollar Yacht, I agree; it's not that simple. Less than $1,000 worth of additional PA equipment, I disagree; it's really just exactly that simple. Get off your lazy keister and get a part time job, tighten your expenses, and save the money.Sometimes life isn't as simple as some want it to be.

Around 1974 while going to high school I saved almost $1,000 bussing tables for about $2.00 and hour and then cooking for about $3.00. I worked every weekend and any day I didn't have to go to school, and school vacations. I bought an SVT head and cabinet and a Rickenbacker bass. I got in a band and worked my way through college playing music. I had to bus a lot of tables and flip a lot of pancakes to make that money.
I've got no use for people that sit around crying about the things they don't have. They'll figure out 10,000 reasons why it's not their fault and there's nothing they can do. They don't even bother to think about how to make it happen.
It's still mostly a free country; believe what you want but the truth doesn't change.

Wow, talk about a lifetime's worth of projection. And you clearly aren't alone.
Ask yourself this... who is "crying" about anything? Duh.
So everyone can afford anything under $1,000. Doesn't matter what priority music is in their life. So the people who are crying about not being able to spend money, none of which happened here, should suck it up and do like folks in 1974. When everyone could afford whatever they needed up to a point. Because who had other more pressing expenses... like rent? Funny thing, 1974 wasn't that great in my area as far as finding work for many people. Even $2/hr jobs were difficult if not impossiple to find.
But nostalgia should work for everyone.
Brilliant advice as usual.

1974, huh, I didn't have a ca r, nor a tv, communal bathrooms, made a buck and a quarter an hour, tuition was cheap, books were cheap, 50 cents to wash your clothes, decent Laundry mat 3/4 of mile away. College life. No car; no queuing for gas.So everyone can afford anything under $1,000. Doesn't matter what priority music is in their life.

Low draft number, passed the physical and the army battery, what more could you want?
Who in their right mind wants to repeat college. No delta delta deltas in my life.
Other two children born in the seventy, and finding a spouse, no Deloren rides for me back to the seventies.
You probably typed that uphill... both ways.
And I'll bet you still had money for a band subwoofer.

It's not projection junior, it's EXPERIENCE. When you grow up you'll understand the difference.Wow, talk about a lifetime's worth of projection. And you clearly aren't alone.

I think we're done here. Permanently. On to my ignore list you go. You're looking for an argument, so you can go find someone that cares.

So, what have you cats actually concluded on the topic?
I still don’t get (and will likely NEVER get (I know, I’m hopeless
)) the obsession that sound folks have with the kick. Sure, it’s good to know where 1 and 3 are. Being uncertain on those probably disqualifies one as a musician, unless you gig with the Portsmouth Sinfonia. But, most club venues, the acoustic drum set is enough as is. Bigger venues where the drums need reinforcement, then fine; but at that point you need more PA.
The snare is a different matter; simply because people dance to the back beat; and some drummers are a little weak on the snare.
Anyhow, point is that reinforcing the kick does NOT fill up the dance floor. At least in my neighborhood. So, putting it in the bass amp? Personally? I mean, I might, depending on the answers to a whole lot of questions. Can’t rule anything out. But, it would be unlikely. Highly unlikely.

Nope to both, no snow in Socorro in 1974, did play a cuple of times, a borrowed strat and brown Princeton, owned by the father of a class mate.You probably typed that uphill... both ways.

I forgot 8 guys per girl on campus, 12:1, if you kept away from the married ones.
How about punch cards for 16k school computer?
So you play without them.
BTW this thread had nothing to do with "bigger gigs". More projection.
