Actually recorded with the Wal again, but I wanted a red bass for the video, so time to break out the FPPR S1 😁 Merry Christmas all 🍻

Christmas fairy 'nuff. Hopefully it won't get pinged for rights. A silly 2 minutes decided on a week ago. Guide created same night. Redone guitars the night after. Vocals the next. Changed the key. Redid the guitars & vocals. Final guitar & drum track then mix last night. Job's a good'un. We're getting quicker at this after 9 months of lockdown 😁 Not exactly our normal fare but hey ho (EDIT or even hey HO HO HO) Tomorrow the video, before hospital Now with video 😁

Well our fractionally over 2 minute long Christmas cover is done in record time, now then, been a while since I posted one of these. Looks like everyone recently has been posting from soundcloud, or can it be any link - dropbox etc..?
-
Well it’s hit target so looks like I’ll be getting one then
-
I know!! Come on peeps...I'm lusting after another bass & have promised wifey this will go first [then maybe I can rescue said bass from where it's hidden in the garage 🤣] -
Been quiet for a while. Back with the latest Lockdown video with a new song for us, and another from the mighty GUN. Filmed at the last rehearsal between lockdowns. One day we'll get to gig again I hope - please Don't Say It's Over!! (Did you see what I did there )

Tried this out at LGBS and really liked the sounds coming out, even if it was difficult in the tumult of the show. Got an email recently about the Kickstarter they have running at the moment. Anyone else on it? I'm hoping it makes target 'cos I'd quite like to get one and it's an 'all or nothing' kickstart 🙂
-
Took us a while as I recall, and this sounds fast on gig adrenaline 🤣 Good fun to play though

A Marathon was my first proper bass 🥰 ended up with two, fretted and fret less - fretted converted to 8 string. My first proper amp was a Selmer T&B and I used to use the stereo out to split between the two channels. Just used an ordinary lead for mono when the T&B went. So much vintage gear I let go (when it wasn’t vintage 🙂) -
Just because really 🤣 Always liked the song and I've no idea where the cassette of the original studio recording, or even if I could play it back. I just know that others may go hmmmmm

Recently searching for something else on a load of hard disks I came across this, plus a few other tracks from 11 years ago. Recorded to multitrack at the gig and mixed later, and I'm quite pleased with how this came out. Might even have to resurrect it for live - assuming we EVER get back to gigging Carry On Wayward Son - cover

I am in the process of re-recording my bands title song from 40 years ago. I have recorded a guide and then the drummer has sent me midi from his electronic kit, vocalist has sent vocals and I'm waiting on final guitar tracks. The song has a silly fairy story in the middle, and I my son recorded my granddaughter reading it which I have then cut to fit. Just got the vocal tracks and a rough mix, and he's done it again. 🙄 ...and I know the drummer is going to be pee'd of with the changes. A few years back one of our fans from back in the day asked if he could play a track of ours at his wedding. We decided to e-record it for him as a surprise. Backing tracks were done here and sent to vocalist in New Zealand, but when we got it back he'd completely changed the way he sang it, so it was a nice gift, but not quite what said fan really wanted ☹️ Now to be fair vocalist was the songwriter / lyricist and used to bring ideas to rehearsal, but he didn't play an instrument so songs were written from jams at rehearsal and developed from his 'it goes something like this' dum di dums. Not that it has ever been an issue, but I know if there had been any money made from a song we'd probably have ended up with difficult discussion re ownership. Whilst we might like a fairly faithful rendition of the original version, he has revamped the vocal lines - not as much as with the other song - but I suspect there will be mutterings from the ranks 🙄 Not sure myself. Played a rough mix to wifey this morning and she loves it, so what do I know 🤣

Price drop to £500

Hug a bassist day then again we probably all forgot our partners in rhythm two days before!? Hug a drummer day
-
Sorry I’ve been away for a few days and missed this. I might consider it, but I doubt that it would be cheap as it’s a heavy beast, you would need to insure it adequately, and only on cleared funds.
-
Sweet FA 🙂
-
Next Friday!! WOOHOO!!! The Alibi @ The Factory Live - Friday 4 Sep 2020 Our Lockdown covers page 😁🤘
-
Sounds good to me. Really punches through the mix to drive it along
-
Latest lockdown video. Always love a bit of GUN 🙂 The Alibi - Lockdown Vid #5 - GUN - Steal Your Fire
-
Bump for the bank holiday weekend 😉 Also, I'll be mobile again from 8 Sep, so a meet to handover becomes rather more of a possibility from then
-
Thanks Nik 🙂

Acquired this from Silverfoxnik a while back and love it, but it’s proving too heavy for me nowadays ☹️ Comes in the 4u rack case with a 2u draw and footswitch for the mute and drive/boost. I could consider shipping at cost, but she’s a heavy beast so I doubt that would be cheap, hence collection preferred. Currently carless (or unable to drive wifey’s car after an ankle op) so a meet up will be difficult at the moment, though should be possible if this runs to mid/late September when I should be mobile again. Struggling to add photos at the moment - now added in link below. EDIT: Looking back to try to ‘borrow’ Nik’s pictures, I appear to have misremembered what I bought it from him for 🤭 (Not sure where I dredged £1/watt from in my befuddled brain). Not wishing to be seen as profiteering, and I can’t work out how to change the start price, immediate reduction to £550 Google photo album (hopefully)

I always wing it...though as it's been in the set for years I have no idea what 'version' we do...probably our own take by now 😁 Looks like the only Whitesnake songs on our YouTube are Ready & Willing and All Your Love Tonight...and listening back again to the original my winging is nowt like it

SOLD: Aguilar TH350 plus gig bag Price drop £295 posted
WalMan replied to Skinnyman's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Good luck with this. Great little amp that I also run through a variety of Barefaced cabs (including the One10 same as you) -
Well if it's Sunday afternoon it must be time for the next Alibi Lockdown Video, and if you have twin lead guitarists, then it's only right & proper that you cover a bit of Thin Lizzy 😁 Waiting For An Alibi (cover) - The Alibi Used the Wal for this into Helix & the SVT4 model You wouldn't believe the iterations of backing vocals I went through before we were happy with the lines!! Two parts, three parts, different inversions. Don't know why it was such a trial considering it's a longstanding live favourite
