PRO live performance/travel tips before my next shows! (Patreon)

My fellow bassists,

Tomorrow I will be flying to Reunion Island to play a few shows with Bernth! I thought this would be a good moment to give you some tips on how to prepare and pack for a live performance, especially any show that requires a lot of travel!

For details on the golf flight case hack, check out this video

To summarize... here are some things to bring that might not be obvious:

Extra cables

Extra strings and string cutters

Spare 9V battery if you have an active bass

Quad Cortex or other amp modeler/effects unit

In-ear monitors

Camera + audio interface

Plug adaptors for international travel

And in terms of practice, try to make sure your most intense period of practice ends at least a few days before the show(s) so that your hands and brain have time to recover and be in the best shape possible for the performances!

And most of all, remember to ENJOY the performance! That's my main focus for these shows 😊

Next week we'll be back to the more usual style of lessons. Until then, have a great week and if any of you happen to be in Reunion, I'd love to see you at the shows! The event is called "La Nuit des Virtuoses".
