ParlourMan Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 We had a guest singer too, some woman joined us for two songs, part fund accountant, part salsa teacher, no spring chicken but a totally rockin bod, looked a bit like an expensive Russian escort. She did Ain't no Sunshine and Sweet Dreams with us, reasonable enough singer too, mad as a box of frogs, fishnets and slashed skirt making it obvious there was no undies. one from the setting up... and some colourful pointy things... some dancers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParlourMan Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 The dancers are all employees of the bank who'd decided to put on a show, these were the less racy ones... some of the other outfits.. well lets just say a couple of them are probably going to get promoted this year :D Corporate Do's BBG, there was always going to be an element of 'soulless' to it... However that one two-hour stint will cover a decent bit of gear we're looking to buy. To be fair, the CEO was a proper pleasant fella, a couple of the mid-tier execs were a bit chest-beaty, but there's always one or two who come over a bit of a tool , harmless enough though... As you say Easy Money... 21 songs, no breaks, no encores, no lingering about, back home with a pocket of cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey man, just hanging with my homies... I heard first prize in the Tombola was the chance to reduce one of the Eurozone countries AAA rating to AA. There's a league table to see which exec can cost the most jobs. Love the lighting set up btw Haha, a bit of cheese, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParlourMan Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Ah, so you got the J-200 out for a run, good one ! Yeah, used it the whole night, we were space limited as we had a smaller car on Saturday, so took this, spare strings and no backup... dropped a couple of the tunes I normally play open, comped through a couple others in Std rather than phaffing about.

blindboygrunt Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 as you two have too many gibsons to choose from ... how do you decide which one is coming with you on that particular night ? any logic behind the choice for a gig or just plain 'umm , think i'll play this one tonight ' ??

Normal logic: Take the J-45 & J-50, the cheapest ones, the most replaceable, less delicate build, no issue to get beat, dinged, scratched etc... Cheapest for repairs of frets etc, no neck binding and whatnot.. plus with both having fairly similar specs etc, there's no extra phaffing about with the sound. 1 guitar dropped a semi-tone, one in alternate tuning, normally DADEAD. Saturday's logic: oops haven't had time to change the strings on the J-45, J-50's off for a setup, so a choice of the two posh ones, the SJ200TV & the Keb Mo, limited space, took the SJ. ..that and I wanted to try the SJ through our new setup, still finding the K&K pure mini a bit quiet and tame compared top the LRBaggs units I normally use. Couple of feedback issues while we were setting up etc... just not as beefy or aggressive as I'm used to, yet the guitar itself can be quite aggro if you dig in. My guess is the K&K would be pretty great as a solo instrument job, but maybe doesn't have the nuggets to fight against another strummer and a cajon. As for having too many, I've thought that over the last wee while, cooling off on the JB to be honest, few things changing in the PM household too, so more guitars are definitely on the back-burner for the foreseeable.. Could be doing with less guitars to be honest. I'm a tidiness freak and just don't have the space anymore, no dedicated music room anymore. Ideally I'd only have 2-3, but it'd mean offloading quite a bit of gear yet, slowly getting there. Hoarding gear is something I've tended to do when not playing in a band or that, ended up with a stupid amount a while back, but working towards a modest few that I use a lot.

Yep, for this reason Ive decided to definitely get rid of the Songwriter, but it looks like it will go our lead guitarist so at least stays in the family.

Nice one. I'm always on the lookout for that unmissable model (aren't we all) but can't see me buying anymore gear unless it's replacing something. Anything coming in should only be if something's going out. I'll likely stick with the more aggro 45 & 50 for gigs, but love playing the SJ, so perhaps maybe stick something else in as a pickup. In an ideal worlsd I wouldn;t have 3 VS finished guitars too, wish the Keb Mo was a different colour and the SJ finished like JannusGuy2's.

I know I sound like a Fishman rep here but the Matrix Infinity with the Aura Spectrum makes my J-150 sound like a monster plugged in, especially in a band setting. Worth considering.

Worth considering. Yeah if I'm going to make the SJ a guitar I'd play in a band setting it needs something more gutsy. On its own it sounds pretty nifty, but not quite up to the job of competing with the rest of the setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
