Members moogieotter Posted May 16, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 16, 2009 You get a sound check? I usually get 'one two three four.' Could be just what you play right after you tune or setup your rig/eq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members burdizzos Posted May 16, 2009 Members Share Posted May 16, 2009 Usually some kind of laid back walking line followed by some easy to ignore chords. I check my rig through the IEMs first and the dial in the house settings during the first song by walking around the bar and listening to what needs to be changed. If I could afford to hire a sound guy, no one would hear a single bass note until we started the first song of the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brake Posted May 16, 2009 Members Share Posted May 16, 2009 I dig in to open strings as hard as I can to see what kind of volume/response I am dealing with and play from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members frunobulax Posted May 16, 2009 Members Share Posted May 16, 2009 You get a sound check? I usually get 'one two three four.' yup. as we have a regular slot at the same place every month, i just unpack the NeoPak, set up, plug in and play. everything is still set from the last show, and the show before that and the show before that...

Members Sugarskull Posted May 16, 2009 Members Share Posted May 16, 2009 I Pizzicato walk for a bit. Then I hit the low E so he can adjust for the extra bassiness of my URB and I keep plucking it until the room stops rattling. Then I'll slap for a tiny bit until he adjusts the high end. Finally I'll wank away on this 6 note slap pattern thingy I wrote that sounds like ass, but it's fast and generally 'impresses' for no good reason whatsoever. I'm a bit of a dork.

Members db. Posted May 16, 2009 Members Share Posted May 16, 2009 If there's time, we pull out "Rockin' in the Free World" (Neil Young) because it's easy and we can quickly get a decent overall mix. Works for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is'nt it amazing how you can play sophisticated and difficult walks and no one notices, but slap out the easiest groove and people's heads spin.

Members georgestrings Posted May 16, 2009 Members Share Posted May 16, 2009 Whatever I feel like playing at that moment...like Zach I'll check high to low response. Yup - if we're using my PA, I don't have to soundcheck much - I'll get out front with my wireless and see what it sounds like, but I'm usually already where I want to be... Then, I'll also get out in front to check band mix a couple of times 'til I'm happy with that... - georgestrings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
