Really? A lot of venues here supply cabs and you bring your own amplification.

Yeah, here most insist on you using their crappy house rigs.

I’ve encountered a few places in the US where you’re ‘not allowed’ to use anything but supplied backline. I usually just set up my rig anyway and it works out fine. If it’s filmed or televised and they insist, I’ll usually just go with want they want me to use. But yeah, it’s a thing in some venues. Some sound people just don’t want any variables. One might be tempted to say they’re just lazy

Well that's the thing isn't it Mark. I can understand venues not wanting to move large cabs around or have them loaded in/out during shows or redoing mic setups or whatever. But saying 'you can't sit your amp here and connect it to the house cab' smacks of complete lack of interest in actual music. What next? You have to use the house Jazz bass*?

*Sorry, was playing 'fantasy pedalboard' and looking at preamp pedal demos last night and they were all done with Js. Okay, that's what it sounds like with a J, all well and good, now what does it sound like with something else?

In my experience, it seems it's mostly them not wanting your amp to damage their cab. I once asked if I could bring my GK MB500 and was told no, for that very reason. The NYC music scene could not care less about the actual music. All they care about is how many people can you get in there to buy drinks and such. NYC is a really terrible music scene.

Count on it, Mark! We are Elitists here, even if we can identify various snack foods incorrectly.

Look it up, or learn some maths...

Think of it as part of your lifelong continuing education program.

Killing me here.
Then I’d have to search. I hate searching. And I hate maths. If I could do do maths, I’d have been a doctor instead of a two bit lawyer. So I’ll look it up. I’ll remember that next time you ask something. (JK by the way).

Kg x 2.2 = Lbs

Thank you.

Oh my god. That is the bass I’ll be getting if Epi truly ignores our pleas and doesn’t release one. Beautiful.

Not just the instrument, but the amp and perhaps even the cab.

I recall watching a video (can't recall who, maybe Brian Wampler or Pete Thorn) and pointed out how useless yoot oob pedal demos are because of all the variables.

 

[BklynKen]

Thank you.

Another really good rough one is °C -> °F: °C x 2 + 30.

Scones and sh1te, my favourites!

Rejoined the band at rehearsal for the 1st time in almost 11 months, gigs are starting next month. Missed a couple of cues, but overall satisfied of my "performance". Bandmates are in love with both the look and sound of my 'Bird, she came through the mix very nicely. Took this shot at our rehearsal spot while the bandleader/lead guitar and myself were setting up. Lovable guys, professionnal about the music but not taking themselves too seriously.

Viva la musika !

Blue Cataldo's are kind of "a thing" now. Cool action foto...curious is that a 'The Who' song you playing way up in that neighborhood?

 

[RedVee]

Idaho grows 1/3 of the potatoes grown in the US.

USA only 5th. Neither Australia or Ireland make the top 30. That can’t be right.

Where Are The Most Potatoes Grown?
