It should read "Unless you are a bass player..........etc"

The Outpost Cafe / Re: Which Is Harder? Burying a Bandmate or Girlfriend?

I think your subject line says it all. You form bonds with both these people but when they are rolled up into one person, ....that must make it very hard indeed. Condolences mate.

I'm wondering how this thread is going to make it from the trimming of nose hairs to our usual subjects

Went to a school reunion recently. A room full of ..."OLD" people no less. I had a hard time seeing myself as one of them.

The Bass Zone / Re: Mic picking up bass, causing feedback- other issues

Yep I agree PBG. All of that makes sense when dealing with experienced musicians and sound guys and decent gear. Sometimes unfortunately we have to play with a set and forget or side stage self mix situation in small venues or guys with crap gear or a lack of experience. These days I find it easier to just stay out of offering advice to other muso's or sound guys on the same stage as me if I'm "just the bass player". If its my gig then its different.
One guy who regularly plays with one of the bands I'm in is totally unshakable in believing that his harp sounds awesome through this ancient clapped out Shure mic. It doesn't and it causes a lot of problems but as I said before I'm not interested in buying into the discussion.
I just concentrate on having my sound together and leave 'em to it.

Maybe, but you have better research skills. I couldn't find any.
Merry Christmas to you both

Footswitch is a much better idea, especially if your hands are full.

Doc, harp player in one of the bands I play in has a mic with a switch. Because he only had small parts in the songs we found it cleaned up the stage sound a bit if he turned it off when he wasn't playing. Not always practical but just sayin'.....

Christmas day will be spent at Horseshoe bay south of Adelaide, eating prawns, oysters and cold leg of smoked ham. Oh and good beer and wine. The forecast is for 30C (86F), perfect for xmas at the beach.
I hope you all have a really great christmas!

Mark how much did you get for the Maton if you dont mind me asking? Was it an 80's or recent model? I have a soft spot for them. I had a JB4 fretless for years and its the only bass I regret selling even though I struggled with the sound of the Dimarzio pups. A lot more options for pups these days.

So by all these definitions, does that make Deep Purple a real band or a tribute band?
