Back in at the deep end. Bendricks Rock just played the resurrected Barry Bier Keller. Felt a bit light headed and queasy setting up with all the squatting and standing so I took an anti-nausea pill. It worked. I decided to avoid the complexity of backing bocals by forgetting my mike stand. 8:30 start but they said they would be happy with 2x45 minutes. Warned us fridays can be a bit quiet... Our first set was just over the 45 then we went back on at 9:45. Finally got finished about ten past 11. Fortunately we had a full complement so had plenty of material to do and finished with a few songs in hand. First half not too busy, we got up to about 35-40 people, with sporadic dancing but it's a big place. Halftime some of our followers arrived then the dance floor got busy early in our second set (war pigs gets people dancing around here!) and by the end it was packed. We ended up calling all the songs on the fly to keep it up. I even managed to do a bit of dancing with some friends in one song! Bar staff delighted and want us back. Got some good sounds out of my effects and Flea Jazz. I had to cut the bass and boost mids on my Orange Terror as my rear ported cab got a huge bottom end boost from the gard wall behind it. Think I'll sleep tonight... and now I have to repeat it all again tomor... later today! Not photos of us... lots of people filming us so hopefully something willpop up on Facebook.

Oh, Thank God!

The company is currently being run by Linda and Dennis Drumm (how appropriate) - I don't know if they're family. If not then I assume that JHS himself wanted his family to profit from the company and may not have anticipated that it wouldn't find a buyer.

Ooh, hello, Mr (or Ms) G&L.

Hmmmm, not very friendly. I regret sharing the video in the first place if this person is only interested in selling their preset pack.

But who has a Vigier Nautilus?

Vrooom - King Crimson

What’s weirder is why Mr JHS (RIP) didn’t want his family to continue running the profit making business, forcing it to be sold. 🙁 All a bit odd.

Yeah i did go and look eariler. Good price, i wouldn't hesitate other than i have a knack of buying things and sending them back. 2 things are holding me back. Size and gain got get rid of the Nux, that ive brought twice in the past 6 weeks. The size thing isnt really a deal breaker, but the pockets on my Bass bag are pretty full. The Nux sits nicely in the headstock pocket. I can see the SGT wouldn't fit in there. This could well be GAS that goes wrong. I’ll keep you in mind though.

It's worrying that no one wants to buy a profitable solvent business.

Which one of those are you spending the most time with? Any more details you can share (e.g. line up / how often you're out gigging / how long the band has been going etc. ?)

Number of strings: 4 Number of frets: 20 Scale length: 34 Number of pickups: 1 Number of controls: 2

Who's got an Alembic Series 2 then 🤔

PM Sent, as someone who has 3 graphite necks and didn't think it was realistic to get any more with how rare they are now, this is brilliant!
