Music Radar Online offers up essential tips for those who play bass onstage. Here's an excerpt from the article:
"We've all been caught out at gigs for some of the most stupid reasons. Assuming that you've arrived with all gear present here are a few suggestions to help prevent a gig from becoming memorable for all the wrong reasons.
- Always use a good quality instrument cable – don't skimp on this. Cheap cables introduce noise, reduce the lower frequency response and are prone to breaking down. Same goes for cheap jack plugs if you make or repair your own.
- Always loop your cable through your guitar strap and round the amp handle. Standing on your lead and unplugging yourself or walking towards the front of the stage and disconnecting yourself is something no player should ever experience.
- If you're working with a PA crew then always be as friendly and patient as possible with all involved. They hold the power to make you sound great or rubbish out front so it's not worth taking the risk of upsetting them."
