    Double Bass Best jazz festivals?

    I recently got back from the Cork Jazz Festival in Cork, Ireland. The festival, it turns out, is the biggest party in Ireland, with 40,000 people swarming the small town. Unfortunately for me, there wasn't any straight ahead jazz. The festival organizers' goal is to provide "entertaining...

    Favorite Music Festivals from the 60s and 70s

    Anyone have a favorite music festival from the 60s and 70s, or a couple. You dont have to have been to one, just love the live recordings. Mine is probably Isle Of Wight in 1970!

    Booking Music Festivals

    Hi guys I was wondering how do you go about sending applications to booking agents for festivals around europe? I'm in a new three piece band, we play originals. Kind of world fusion with progressive rock and jazz elements. We're relatively new but working towards our first album currently We...

    Quick Business Trip to Cajun Country

    I love a good backline! And that Osmo Oil finish really pops in the sunshine. Check the EQ -- everything flat. There is no such thing as hype with an SVT through an 810. It's all true. Goodness gracious. Yes, I had a great weekend.

    Post your music festival pictures!

    Music festivals are a big thing now. Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Rock on the Range, SXSW, Pitchfork, New Orleans Jazz Festival, Warped, Ozzfest, Woodstock, etc all draw a massive number of music fans. Here in Kentucky, I always go to Louder Than Life (metal) and Bourbon and Beyond (pop/alt rock)...

    What Top Acts Got Paid at Woodstock '69 - Promoters & Shows - Thoughts?

    Hi guys, First time posting a thread here in Band Management, so if I'm in the wrong place and this belongs in the Misc. forum, mods please excuse the foul-up! I just saw this today and thought it might be a neat trip down memory lane, as well as good for some comparisons of big festivals...

    Playing bass in the sun... what to do?

    I have a gig this weekend, playing an outdoor festival. It's on the beach, right next to the Atlantic Ocean. We play at 1pm. It's an hour-long set. My Overwater is my #1 bass, but it is very expensive. I was thinking of playing it for this festival, but I am not sure how I feel about taking it...

    mrcBass and Hey Monkey at Elk Grove Western Festival 5/4/19

    Long post - TLDR - Gig 1 of a double header was a SNAFU gig due to lack of communication and a sound crew who didn't know what they were doing. Sorry DBase - no food pics - I think you all know what a slice of ham and a banana looked like (my lunch). This is the first gig of a double header for...

    Howdy friends and neighbors, I took lots of pictures on this trip so it's going to take at least three posts to share the highlights. I hope you don't mind. I've just returned from a fun engagement in the town of Hanford playing for their first annual 'Night in the Country' Country Music...

    Outdoor festival setlists

    Hey all, We’ve finally done it, and made it to an outdoor festival in Sept. Sorry, festival may not be accurate. It’s a BBQ competition, but a large one with a festival size stage and sound. Given this, I’m assuming we’ll be mostly background music during a daytime slot. This is for families...

    The Bass Amps of the New Orleans Jazz Festival May 3rd through 6th 2018

    I meant to post this but forgot until I found my notes. Went to Jazz Fest in New Orleans from May 3rd to the 6th. This year there were 12 stages from pretty small to huge (like maybe the capability of 20,000 + people). On average each stage would have approx. 6 acts per day from Friday through...

    Michigan Festival Luthier Search

    In 1982 +/- , I was at Wheatland Music Festival in Remus, MI. My family went for years—my sister still goes, annually. I have a memory of handling an electric bass in one of the main vendor tents that had a scroll headstock and fretboard lights. This lutherie ended up being inspirational in...

    Super Festival Peavey F800-G used with bass?

    Hi all, has anyone used an F800- G with a passive or active bass before? I searched around some info and previous posts here and it looks like they are pretty similar in a sense of basic eq and pre-amp. I see that the G version has the fuzz and tremelo added which I don't necessarily care...

    What is it with DJ's? (Old man yells at cloud edition)

    So I go to a major sporting event every year and they out on a lot of top line acts before, during and after the action over the three days. It's an awesome event and I've seen bands I'd probably never cross the road for at home and been blown away by their performances. And I've seen old...

    Stickiness on fingers and the instrument (NOT SWEAT) at festival type gigs

    Hi First of all I want to make absolutely clear that this issue hasn't got anything to do with sweat. I do not get sweaty hands or fingers. I've shaken people's sweaty hands before so I know what that feels like and what I experience on gigs is not like that. It is not so much a feeling of...

    My dear friends, To compliment Mr. @McG's POST, here is my gig report. This venue is really a treat to play. Sid, the sound guy is top notch and the staff treats us like we're somebody. This gig started with yet another drive down to Laguna Beach. Seems me and Mr. @Holdsg have been down here...

    How to get a good sound check in a festival setting?

    My Band played a festival for an AA fund raiser. They had a nice setup and bands where on about every hour. The bass rig was backline, drums (bring your own cymbals) cabs were available for guitars. Quick pace but we did fine, though my BTB was blowing up the levels till we got it under control...
