Bass Tuner

Whether you're a new band just getting started or an experienced musician familiar with the scene, you always have something out every concert he plays. If it can be something that does not go as planned that you do not know how to handle the next show, something that was certainly complacent crowd will make a comeback, or something as simple establish their own personal goals of the ritual that makes you and your band list for each show.

Here are some basic tips and suggestions useful to consider at its next concert. If you play the guitar or violin, these are all good things in general for all musicians know, and could also help your great show together to run a bit smoother.

Music Stand: This is for those of us who have established lists and written key structures. The music stand is best to collect all your guitar tabs and sheet music on the ground after they fall off their amplifier.

Stand Instrument: I can not even count the times that my guitarist he forgot his, he had to shore up his electric guitar and I would fall through the amplifier after only a few minutes ... well, save his own instrument. If you want to avoid potential costly damages, be sure to invest an instrument stand strong.

Ear plugs: For obvious reasons, earplugs are a must for anyone who plays an instrument exceedingly strong, as an electric guitar under the guitar or drums, as well as anyone in the vicinity of the instrument on stage.

In concert: Do not drink excessively or drugs above. It shows in their play and their professionalism or lack thereof.

Practice: Be courteous. Send a flyer to the neighbors to let them know what time and when you practice ... so if there is a problem that does not call the police First, they call you.

Policy Band: The band sits at a round table - no egos, everyone has something to say - democracy - discuss your goals, tunings, who knows what the dynamics of the song, etc. A happy band is a band of success.

Bring a towel (or five) for clean up spilled beer on your amplifier to their guitarist denies that he did. This will also help keep the stage clean and safer for everyone in the band.

Cable: Loop the cable through your Amp Handle and strap will not fall down.

Guitar Picks: different sizes for one of his band that uses one.

Replacement cords and cables: Oh, it worked yesterday does not work today? BTW, when you wrap your strings completed - the copper wire has a memory.

Microphones Parts: If you sing it is always good to have a backup. There's nothing like seeing, in slow motion, a microphone on the floor and breaking into pieces.

Tuner: guaranteed their guitarist believes it is in harmony and all others are not.

Replacement batteries: For the tuner (which proves his bad guitarist) or Effects Pedals.

Extra bass and Guitar Strings: Obviously for you, but even a set of strings of a guitar. Guaranteed when a Guitar String breaks, the E is always high ... and is a Sunday and the music store is closed and the concert is in an hour.

Drum Key: Drummer arrives and you can not tune a whole, or can not put a new skin.

Power Strip / Surge Protector: For some reason, the clubs always have problems with their power, go figure - more surges or blown circuit breakers than I can remember.

Screwdriver: To enter your instrument or amplifier if there is a problem.

Keys Allen: A must have whether or not the instrument settings.

Pipes: For all the oldies there.

Fuses: amplifiers P especially.

Pen and paper: Whether for a song idea that pops into your head in mid-show, or just some idea of chance happens to think, a pen ever seen a document to be very useful.

Crazy Glue: For your fingers or the mouth of his guitar.

Conduit Tape: Repair of nothing ... also for the guitarist ... oh yeah broken drum skins.

Duffel Bag: To transport all that is unseen supply.

Replacement Fabrics: For you, not the kind of Kinky, but something that is comfortable, either to relax before or after the show, or to change in case someone has an accident or a drink.

Take all suggestions in this list to heart, and you are good to go to his next concert. I know it will feel like a walking hardware store, but believe me I will thank at the end.

One last tip, do not tell members of his band of fellow all you have. Otherwise, always based on each provider once it is personal. The purpose of having all the equipment on hand is to be there for save the day ... for yourself and others, but more importantly to give a sense of professionalism to his art. Rock on!
