  1. Past hour
  2. It's been a while since I've been able to post in this topic, as our old guitarist opted out at the beginning of May. It's been cancellations, auditions and just a couple of rehearsals since then. I think we've got the right new guy. I was slightly nervous in the run up to last night's first gig, as we didn't manage to rehearse this week as our drummer has been taken into hospital for urgent surgery. He's going to be out of the game for a while. A good friend of ours is going to sit in on drums for a while when he can and I am meeting another drummer this evening, when we play another gig (and he's on drums). We're deviating from usual set to a degree, as our new guitarist has some songs he's pretty good at, so to get a set together, and to change things a bit (the old band was a bit of a museum, as we couldn't add new songs without a distinct lack of enthusiasm from one corner of the room). We've pulled the best set together of crowd pleasers that we can . There were a couple of hairy moments, but the punters didn't notice. The good news for us is that we are back doing it and enjoying it.
  3. Doesn't seem to be any sign of the headless in the Essence range on their website.
  4. Shame.. They were top notch kit weren't they...?
  5. Thank you for your replies.... Think it's gonna be way more complicated than I thought.... TBH it's not worth spending any more money on.... So gonna just leave it as is. Regards. BB
  6. Bought a fantasic wee short scale from Si, super smooth transaction, fantastic comms throughout and the bass turned up promptly in mint condition. Cheers Si!
  7. That’s a shame, especially as most blues fans now qualify for free bus rides (me included 😆).
  8. Was his name Clarence or Leo by any chance?
  9. Bought a chorus off Gaz, super smooth transaction, arrived promptly in superb packaging. Cheers Gaz!
  10. Nice - that one's a keeper! 😎
  11. Bought a MIDI controller off Berserker (seems wrong to call someone with the pseudonym "Berserker" Nigel for some reason), fantastic price, great comms throughout and it arrived promptly in fantastic packaging. Cheers!
  12. Hi, I’m looking for my first 5 stringer and this could be a good option - I have never tried one of this though - based in London W11
  13. Home build, home sprayed, home assembled and setup. TV has nothing decent to watch, so this is how I keep myself amused.

  15. This is a thing of beauty. Have a bump to the top on me!
  16. this needs a tidy up but sort of getting there the Vitoos PSU was a great buy , the Walrus Tuner is good and the Free The Tone pedals really are the business
  17. Did a 2-hour set last night with Ministry of Mojo as part of the Dereham Blues Festival. Really nice venue but very small and dwindling audience, which we just about outnumbered by the end. Unfortunately the venue is out of the town centre and blues fans clearly didn't fancy making the trip out to the suburbs. The office:
  18. Got the Sandy back yesterday with the AG 4M/J-HC set fitted. Based on a quick noodle at home, definitely worth all the cost and hassle. Will post the full story after tonight's gig.
  19. They are great basses, I had a combustion for years and deciced to upgrade to this - it's a bit of a sleeper. Canadian ABZ but with a plain finish so it doesn't look like a custom from a distance. The rehearsal was good fun. The drummer is good but very inexperienced so trying out ALL of his chops in the numbers and practising fills and rolls whenever we stop. And is VERY LOUD. But that's all fine. I have earplugs and the enthusiasm is great. What I'm having to put my foot down on though is the speeding up. Once last night the tune was racing away so I tried to pull back, and pull back until I was completely out of time and neither of them noticed. They didn't even notice when I stopped playing and stood there waiting for them to finish the tune... which they did very quicklyt the speed they were going! I asked the, politely, to listen a bit more intently and to be fair they did after that. The beers and the chat in the pub afterwards was also the hightlight of the week.
  20. Thanks dude, much appreciated. I swear there's only a handful of Basschatters down south, I need to move up north!

  22. This is as hard-hitting as Lucinda’s songs, and to be frank it’s a wee bit too honest. But that makes it compelling reading, so if you like her music it’s a solid investment. If you don’t know who she is, consult YouTube immediately… Hardback, very good condition. RRP £20, yours for £13 posted. Now just £11.
  23. For anyone who hasn’t heard this, it’s superb, good luck mickey
  24. Very well put together US-published book of in-depth interviews with guitarists based on a TV documentary. Refreshingly, not all are the usual suspects. Rarely seen here. 300 pages, very good condition. £13 posted UK. Now just £10
