| Sadie Steager 03.01.2011 | Thanks guys, You are the best. |
| Carlena Dechand 03.01.2011 | A good argument to look at adding it to your insurance in the future |
| Leeanna Ayla 03.01.2011 | Take it apart and clean with isopropyl alcohol. |
| Sadie Steager 03.01.2011 | Hey Guys, I wish I could do any of the above. This is South Africa. Had a chat at the last wedding with the photographer. She asked me: "So what do you charge for playing at a wedding?" I said: R 2500 for the evening. She laughed and said. Are you mad. How much does your gear cost. So we did the calculation: Main Setup at Venue: I have Behringer Amps x 2 (EP2500) Behringer Bass Bins x 2 Behringer Tops x 2 Behringer Crossover Behringer 3 Channel Mixer Cordless Mic x 2 Mac Book (Sadly Not With Me Anymore) BCD3000 Not Counting Wires / Plugs etc Second Setup for Church: Small Amp 2 x 15" Speakers I get there at 11am to setup and be ready in Church by 3:30 I play until The Party ends. Anything from 1am to 3am in the morning. Pack up up 2 cars again and get home done off loading and in bed by 5 or 6am on a sunday. She laughed out Loud. My gear fits into one bag. I get here at about 2pm, No setting up Required. I take pictures until 11pm. I go home. Work on the photo profile for 6 hours and produce an album. No Video or any extras. I charge R7500.00 within a 20km radius. The last wedding we did together was 680km away. She got paid R23000,00 and me R 4500.00 So guys, I'm doing this on my budget basically because I love music and people. Even the pain in the ass that orders you on what to play when. My music collection is 1800 Cd's all legally purchased. I play all genres and that is difficult. These cd's range from R89 to imported ones going a high as R345.00. Sorry for the long reply, just thought I'll give you some insight into my world on this side of the planet. You don't get sponsored here by anyone unless your name comes over the radio twice a week. Shops here will throw any reason at you not to honor a warranty. It's always the user who did something wrong. Well in my case it was. I have the wrong Girl friend, but I love her to bits. She enjoys seeing me playing again. I stopped for almost 4 years. I wish you all A happy and prosperous 2011. |
| Danae Dumler 03.01.2011 | Invoice the bride for the spill and get a new macbook? |
| Ofelia Schraner 02.01.2011 | Try going to the apple store..you could beg, but hey it might work! |
| Lanny Vanosten 01.01.2011 | My brother-in-law spilled a glass of water on his 15" macbook pro as well. Took it in at the apple store to see what it would cost to fix. He told them it was his fault not a warranty item and said he needed the computer back asap. Because he bought it a couple months before ,and was honest about the spillage, they gave him a new one. He just about passed out when they swapped the laptop with the new one. Not sure if you have an apple store near you or a computer repair shop, but is there a place that can give you a quote? It may not be so bad(expensive) to repair as to replace? BC |
| Lilliana Perris 01.01.2011 | OUCH Bud....as a Saffer....i feel your pain on having to mission to get gear at good prices. I killed the NYE Electro floor....literally this morning. Had my MacBook, APC40, VCI100 and they did not waterproof the DJ box and gear. It was fucked anyways....distorting the whole time I was there. It was hot as fuck.....4am in the morning and after an hour of jamming to a frothing crowd....Thunderstorm happens and starts pissing down. I told the sound guy to sort out some plastic sheeting for the top of the scaffholding but i dunno..... My gear was getting real wet....so i stopped the music and packed my shit away as the one organiser said to turn all the amps off etc. These sound guys stood there watching the coffin fill with rain water....on CDJ1000Mk3's and DJM600. Sorry about that mate! |
