                • Hi everybody!
                  greetings from Cape Town
                  I play bass and guitar, and occasionally mess around
                  with some drums and piano.
                  Glad I signed up, awesome forum indeed...

                  ?
                  • Yeah, it's a hectic industry. I reckon at the end of the day it's all about shifting units; so the broader the target market, the more the moneys and profits. Indie bands allready have a tough time internationally, so imagine all the obstacles SA bands have to face.
                    It was much harder in the 90's though, so it's getting better. The internet can really help bands to promote their music and I personally feel that we have enough talent here to compete/collab with the best/rest.

                    • The first bass guitar I bought back in the 90's had some huge issues, but I didnt know any better back then.
                      Uneven neck, buzzing frets etc etc.
                      So a few months later I decided that this instrument is in dire need of some professional attention.
                      I take it to a guitar tech and imagine my surprise when he tells me that this guitar is so bad there not much to be done,
                      since this model ( encore,from india ) doesnt even have a truss ! >☹
                      He did what he could, but at the end of the day it was nothing more than a prop guitar. :-[
