He has his own signature version made by Eastwood. When I saw him last he was using the Eastwood, although judging from recent gig photos he's gone back to the Shergold Back in the early 80s there were plenty of bass players influenced by him. Have a listen to early Section 25, the first Modern English album, Modern Eon and some Dancing Did to name but four. Nowadays? Me: - Today

Wow, id have this like a shot if I had room. That black binding on the neck is awesome. GLWTS -
My pedal riser board currently: Schu-Tone Ramparts (Green Muffin w/mids) -> Mooer Envelope -> MXR Vintage Octave -> TC Corona Chorus -> TC PolyTune Mini 3 There’s room for another 1590a sized something above the two TC pedals, so I think that might have to be an MXR or Mooer micro power, as it’s all running on a daisychain at the mo, which I suspect the two digital pedals will eventually not agree with if I gig this setup.

For myself I have managed with a small Ashdown Acoustic Radiator - very powerful for the size. There are a few on eBay for around £130 right now, and Ashdown happily service them. Avoid anything with damaged speakers, as replacements were no longer available when I last contacted Ashdown. Some Acoustic Radiators have a DI out, so your guitarist could just turn down the amplifier and use the DI out and stage monitors if he is feeling bold. However, given his lack of on-stage experience, I would not recommend it. He can also use the Acoustic Radiator at home, to get used to the concept of stage volume, of adjusting the sound of the amplifier, and of identifying and removing feedback. Add to that a tilt-back amplifier stand to point the sound at his ears, and a chorus pedal to soften the sound a little. Cables in various colours (so that your guitarist can easily set up: "the long orange one from the guitar, into the chorus pedal; the short green one from chorus to the amplifier.") Maybe a breakfast-bar stool, if he wants to sit down. A guitar stand for the guitar, because it's important to set it down without laying it on the floor, or for when he swaps out instruments. As for which guitar to use, let him test them all with the band first. It may be that (for example) his hand-made custom shop twin neck acoustic is less stage-friendly than a cheaper Tanglewood. He will also want to learn that the rich bass and soaring trebles of his guitars when played solo, may not be necessary in a band setting. Let us know how he gets on! Robert Edit. He will require a footpedal tuner, even if he has a tuner in his guitars. That's because the footpedal tuner can act as a mute switch, to ensure that the guitar's sound can be switched off to the PA, not just when tuning but to kill sudden feedback, or to swap out guitars.

All this stuff behind people's backs is toxic. Some leadership is needed from the rest of the band. If A has concernes, he should take responsibility for setting a clear expectation. Or B could also just tell him to foxtrot oscar and highlight some of A's own failings. After the clearing of the air, hopefully both might be a little more aware of their own short comings and perhaps more inclined to work on their own performances rather than criticise the others and perhaps...PERHAP each could OFFER to improve an aspect of their playing if there are valid concerns from the rest of the band. -
Hadn't realised there'd been such a long hiatus... We've arrived at that time of year when if you're in various types of music groups you end up running around like an idiot. Back when I sang with my first singing teacher's choir, I'd have about six gigs just with his choir, on top of whatever I was doing with other groups. When I played with the big wind band, they'd do about six as well. During that time, I sang with two other choirs, to which you coudl add about another four or five events, making about ten or eleven in total. It's not quite that bad now. The local community choir I sing in has three gigs lined up but I can only do two of them as I'm in London for the first one, which is this week. The choral society has one main concert plus a couple of charity events, the latter requiring some volunteers for carol singing. I'm only doing the main concert for that group, which is next week. The brass band has lots of little gigs - at least half a dozen - which vary in requirements from a handful of players to larger groups, plus a main concert. Due to the travel involved, I've limited myself to just the main concert. There is various news to report, so I will write some more posts shortly.

A couple quid on a sound hole cover (I think £6 on Amazon) would make the quickest and most cost effective improvement to sound in a live context (you could even make one for free if you wanted), and as mentioned then a lead into the mixing desk, albeit personally I would add a DI in between (the £26 Behringers are fine for many contexts). So yes, £32 (excluding leads) would be money well spent!

I brought a red Telecaster kit two years ago. I paid a £160 or so. Didn't know any better. Had fun building it but the neck was junk, took it to a decent guitar shop to get it set up and they spent quite a lot of time trying to fix it and said it was impossible to get it right across all the neck. So if one end of the the neck was right, the other end wasnt. They refused to take any payment for their time as it was throwing good money after bad. I gave it to a local school and told them it was poor quality, I think they use it in school plays as a prop. I won't put the name here but I'd advise the OP to DM me. Rob

Up for sale are some strings from a few different brands. All are 5 string sets. All prices include postage. The Sadowsky Blues are brand new and unused. These are wicked strings, and have been my string of choice for ages! 3x Sadowsky Blue Label Stainless Steel 45-105 with a Tapered .130 B string. £30 each/2 for £57.50/all 3 for £85 Thomastik Rounds JR345 Long Scale - Gauge 43/51/68/89/118 Bought these as I absolutely love their flats, so was curious about the rounds! Unfortunately they weren't for me. Cut for 4 over 1 Headstock, they've been played less than an hour and been in their packaging in a drawer ever since. These are £75 new from Thomann, so how about £40 posted. Dunlop Super Bright - Stainless Steel Light Gauge 40-120 I've never tried light gauge strings, and I was curious as I've always played 45-105/130. Couldn't get on with the lighter gauge unfortunately, so these have also had less than an hour's play on them. Cut for a 4 Over 1 Headstock, been in the drawer ever since. ~£40 + postage new, so how about £20 posted. If you buy the Sadowskys and Thomastiks, I'll throw the Dunlops in for free -

Laney R500H 500w Bass Amp I'll put some current pics up tomorrow but here's the thread from when I bought it off here. I've only used it live a couple of times. Moving it on cos I've just bought an EBS 350 off here and I don't need 3 amps. No trades ta I have the original box and courier will be around £10. There was one on eBay from Japan for £400+ so obviously it's rare, desirable and probably lawsuit era 😂 New pics added Original post-
