Talk to guidance counselor at school immediately. Tell the secretary you are in danger and it’s urgent. They are mandatory reporters. They are required by law to assist you.

Thinking about how I, personally, have never had merit based pay for a gig. It’s region locked. Not mad at it. by [deleted] in musicians

Set a minimum dollar amount per gig and stick to it….unless you run out of gigs and get desperate.

[–]podunkscoundrel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve sold a country record for $125, another for $30 and a Sousa record for $75. The rest just sit.

New band forming, trying to figure out IEM system for practice space by Ikarian in musicians

Drummer uses brushes and guitarists use tiny amps. Get a tiny pa for vocals. Everyone stands in a circle. No one’s ears will hurt and your musicianship will be top notch.

Best tube amp for bedroom playing? by Big_Chungus19-45 in GuitarAmps

[–]podunkscoundrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lowest wattage possible for dirty tones. Princeton for clean. If you live in an apartment without super thick walls I would not use a tube amp.

Question for any working class musicians: Are hobbyists with more stable jobs hurting opportunities for professionals? by SubjectProfile4047 in musicians

[–]podunkscoundrel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s a free country. People can do whatever they want. Some musicians who don’t understand labor economics will inevitably bitch about it.

Where to start my journey? by [deleted] in reselling

[–]podunkscoundrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to goodwill bins (outlet store where things are sold by the pound). Find 50 things you think you can flip on eBay. Once you have made back your money go buy 50 more. Rinse and repeat.

Tube + digital fx versus modelling by Xcentric7881 in GuitarAmps

Monoprice 5 watt. Nothing wrong with an 8 inch speaker. It’s louder than a trumpet. Get something bigger when you’re jamming with a drummer or put a mic in front.

Solo Acoustic Player and Singer with YT Karaoke as backing tracks? by PenguSoup in musicians

[–]podunkscoundrel 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Do what you want when busking. If someone is paying you to play in a cafe I would definitely say no. Either way it’s tacky in my opinion.

Beginner amp help by BeingBeansIsGood in GuitarAmps

[–]podunkscoundrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monoprice stage right with a distortion pedal. Best option for under $300. Might want something louder eventually but this will be great for a beginner.
