For those who could be interested, on't see these very often, shame about the 'butchered' bridge🙁 https://reverb.com/uk/item/93341230-ashley-pangborn-custom-bass-guitar-based-on-warlord-model-1985

Yeah, I'm with you. I absolutely love Elixir. No need to change!!!

Star Trekkin' - The Firm

50 million year trip - Kyuss

I didn't really answer the question. It may be hard to believe but I have no strong opinion about him, despite his best efforts to be edgy and an "acquired taste". Seems to be able to play the bass, probably better than me. Says the word "bass" funny. OK.

The only musical people I am interested in are those who make music I enjoy, or those who make equipment or instruments that I want to use. Mr Sapko appears to do none of those things so as far as I am concerned he's an irrelevance.

We have a couple of LEDJ 7Q5 pars that work well as uplights for the drums but stopped taking them to gigs due to grumblings within the band about the amount of gear we are taking to gigs (which is a fair comment 🙂). I think we may need to revisit this. Funnily enough, I've recently replaced everything in that lighting setup apart from the drum uplights (not in the video) and the lighting control (iPad / ADJ 4 stream bridge) with lights bought from AliExpress. I'm still applying the same principles; 1. Lights on stands pointing down where possible to avoid dazzling band members. 2. Static colour and slow fade colour change stage wash lights (it's not a disco 😉). 3. White lights on band members. 4. Moving heads to add effects/interest.

I think those Thomann lights are a bit expensive. IMO the best vendors for lighting are Stsge or DJ suppliers. Terralec do a good range Terralec Lighting and these are worth a look Equinox Light Cluster. if you search DJ Suppliers , they will have more choice, both in price and range. I advise getting a set that has DMX control as you may want to get more lights later and you need to be able to control all of them.

I'll probably be gigging until I'm physically no longer able to do it, and after that making and releasing weird industrial music from my home studio until I am mentally unable. I've been very lucky with my health and fitness. In my current band I'm by far the oldest, but probably also the healthiest and fittest.

I remember when he first started popping up years ago. I couldn't bear him - his stuff was so TECHNICOLOR and in-your-face. Turns out he was just ahead of the curve. I still couldn't bear him until recently, but at some point I had another go accepting him as a bit of a cartoon character, and... I get him now. He's funny. That said, I'd never watch him to learn anything.

My daughters band, Butane Skies have just released their second single. It may have been written, first performed and released at Christmas but it is absolutely, definitely NOT a Christmas song. Third single coming very soon The cover art is by the singer/guitarist and all done by an actual human, not AI

Sadly not, I did that on video one, it still pops up, turns up on other videos, turns up on facebook, even when you select 'don't show me content like this' his smug annoying face turns up on the next thing, and even when you think he has gone, someone else will post his inane dribblings about how someone else is the problem with the world.

I bought two reall cheap 'par' lights that just turned out to be non-dmx with an ir controller identical to those used for light bulbs. One set to a warm yellow and the other to a magentaish colour either side of us are useful as some constant illumination. The lasers @Phil Starr mentions are a great idea. A bit hit and miss about what you get, I have three and one is rather more powerful. I always aim them up at the ceiling.

Ah! Didn't realise that. That makes sense now. I was going to put a grill on as well. So matt black(or red Hammerite) is fine on the baffle.

Can't watch anything that has him in it. Totally hate his personality and style. Probably a really great guy. Seems a bit of a Karen to me though.

I painted the baffle Matt Black as Tuffcab is not a good idea in a baffle. I stopped the Tuffcab at the inside edge and started the Matt Black from there.

Click on the three dots to the right of a video title of his - choose "Don't recommend channel", job's a good 'un.

Andertons have even done a big interview with him on their YouTube channel which I thought was a little unusual.

Ok, not an image and might have been seen before, but this really ‘spoke to me’…

Stop being coy - get off the fence and tell us how you really feel...

Child In Time - Deep Purple

You are right, he is everywhere, all over youtube and all over here. If I never saw a video with his face on it again it would still be too soon. While I find it hard to accept the idea of hating someone you don't know, he is someone who could change that feeling for me. Don't know what it is, just absolutely detest videos with the guy.
