  1. Past hour
  2. I'm about 25 mins from Wymondham. This is pub band heaven if that's what you're looking for. Depends on your prefered genre of course but if you want a blues band or classic rock covers, you've come to the right place. Pubs with music are alive and well here compared to other parts of the country. The Cross keys in the town centre has live music. You have at least another six venues in Dereham plus the Dereham blues festival. Jam nights in Norwich, the Apex in Bury St Eds, the Waterfront in Norwich, the Corn Exchange in King's Lynn and many other venues. You shouldn't have much trouble finding a band. Send me a PM when you've moved and I'll do you a list of places to check out and maybe a couple of contacts who may be up for playing. Good luck with the move.
  3. I’m in Swansea. Have you already bought it?
  4. Dammit. Gigged in Neath on Saturday. Don't think I'm back down there for a couple of months. Ah well, have a bump.
  5. I would like the tribute band to get more of the better type gigs that we do, but it's a bit difficult at the moment, partly due to the BL having a few health problems and we really need him to get those sorted. It would be great to get the 'occasional' blues band to play more, but again there are issues with a couple of the guys being so busy elsewhere (not to mention that the main dep for the guitar chair is the aforementioned BL of the tribute band, who needs to recover from his issues with his back). I would like to get some more deps, especially for the blues stuff. I used to think that I was pretty good at networking and such, but perhaps I need to step that up again.
  6. Isn’t @Dood a local ?
  7. Stunning bass! Seems a shame to move it on so quickly!
  8. Hanging Around - The Stranglers
  9. Did 26 this year but they seem to come in batches. Can go for 2-3 mths without a gig then we get a run every week for a month. Nov and especially Dec we're always busy. The punk band i was in used to fill in the gaps as we had same drummer and female singer in both so it kinda worked out quite good. Not looking to gig every weekend but averaging out 2-3 a month would be good but more evenly spaced. Its good to be playing in 2 bands with different styles as it keeps the mind busy. Never thought about advertising for an agent and i'll maybe suggest that at tomorrow nights gig. We did have one but he didn't do much at all. He never even took posters to the venues or even pushed advertising in local areas. We ended up doing it all ourselves so why pay someone a share if they aren't pulling their fair share of the workload. Think we're going to have a meeting early 2026 to see how we move forward with the band to get more gigs and look at different areas rather than mainly East Coast Scotland. Also to make it more of a show and perhaps move more towards Theatre venues. Dave
  10. Oh! They have really cool Mustangs and headless basses too! Whoa! They look great!
  11. No Particular Place To Go - Chuck Berry
  12. Today
  13. In response to an enquiry here are a couple of extra pics which show the condition of the pad that supports the bottom strap button along with a very small bit of fraying at the edge of the fabric thing that forms a loop around the main handles
  14. Agreed - my favourite gigging bass case!
  15. How's your guitar playing? 😁 That's what we need, we've already got two bass players!
  16. Beautiful, stunning collection 😛💕You must be very proud. Just out of interest, just how good is the fretless compared to other basses in the same price category/class ?
  17. This ^^^ Just try a thinner set, or moving them over a slot, and see how it goes. I bought a Ibanez Talman 30 when they were silly cheap to try a set of piccolo bass strings on, EADG but an octave higher so guitar register and gauge, I didn't have to change the nut and it's fine. The tension keeps the strings in the bottom of the oversized 'U' shape, you'd have to play really hard to move the string across and up the slot.
  18. Shut Up And Drive - Rihanna
  19. I tried other browsers, no dice. Maybe a regional thing; the French are to be kept in the dark over this product. Hmm...
  20. Used but in excellent condition, these have the shorter length stem. Two bass-side and three treble-side, but they can be reversed if needed. Perfect for Dingwall Combustion basses. Solid machined aircraft grade aluminium housing gives you high durability in an extremely light package Tiny footprint installs easily on small headstocks 20:1 gear ratio with a full size gear and worm for super quick and accurate tuning Stainless steel key prevents tarnishing and rust where you touch yor tuner the most 3/8" string post fits 9/16" [14mm] headstock holes
