All Activity

I've got a busy weekend. 3 gigs with a Belgian black doom band, Svarthart, starting at The Victoria in Swindon tonight, The Victory in Hereford Saturday and Fuel in Cardiff on Sunday.

My customer bass order has just been completed and here’s a little teaser while I wait for it to arrive next week. 😁

I’ve had a large tin of tuff cab ( black satin) open for about 5 years and have used it on 2 speaker cabs, several rack cases and 2 large stage risers and it’s still going. I just give it a stir to even out the consistency before use. It’s the best durable professional finish I’ve ever achieved on my projects. It does seem hard to get at the moment though.

😁 Stupidly, I momentarily assumed Belgium is only about 15 miles across... Which is a bit daft as I've driven from Dunkirk to Saarbrucken via Mons and Luxembourg many times!

We've all had the same thoughts and come to similar conclusions which I find highly amusing. One other thing to add, the Aldcrofts paint (which I think is Tuff Cab) only has an unopened shelf life of six months. I worked out that doing two 8" cabs with three coats uses approx 1Kg, and the chances of me using it again is low, so its very expensive to paint two cabs. If I lived closer to people I'd happily pass tins along but unlikely to happen. I like the look of the Hammered Hammerite but thats not cheap either at circa £10 / 250ml. There is this site that tests how it works on different woods and it comes through with flying colours. They don't mention the primer they use though. https://patientgardener.co.uk/can-you-paint-hammerite-on-wood/ I have seen a suggestion of using an oil based primer for undercoat https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/showthread.php?t=93459 I think I'll head to Settle later and see what they have in my local DIY store. Hammered red might be interesting and if nothing more, I'll use the can on something. Rob

Thanks a lot @Leonard Smalls, but Diksmuide is 300 kilometers away from home as I live at the opposite side if the country, otherwise I would have gone there (and I quite hate folk music too). Thanks a lot for the "invitation". That said Wednesday we saw, for the third time, Kyle Eastwood, in another genre, in Dudelange (Luxemburg). Excellent concert if you like jazz, especially post bebop music, and for that concert, it was dedicated to his father's film music (more 70's oriented).

There must be an optimum elasticity of strap for this. A bit of R&D time would pay dividends.

Or 'pro bass teacher has to learn 'the zip' in record time' complete with one of those YouTube thumbnails that guarantees I will never click on it no matter how interested I may be in the topic.

I want to be sure of a good reaction from the ladies in the audience.

I'd wait for an open legs night!

There is a great album by Barre Phillips and Dave Holland as well as Holland's Emerald Years and Ones All.

I may try it at the next open mic night.
