    We were discussing this the other night at rehearsal. Is there a limit to how long you can leave a car parked at Sainsbury’s?

    Ha ha. I did have a Basschat polo shirt once, but I’m not sure where it is now. I’ll keep a look out for someone wearing a Grateful Dead shirt. I have got that right haven’t I? Apologies if not 😀

    I’ve played there before and it does get busy, but that was on a Saturday. They’ve never had the main stage running on a Friday before, so I really don’t know what it’s going to be like today.
  4. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Ha ha. Well, it’s free so you have no excuse not to be there 😀 (unless you’re gigging yourself of course).

    Great stuff. Look forward to meeting you.

    Get to see us for free at Witney Music Festival, The Leys Showground, Witney, Oxfordshire this Friday August 17th 2018. We're on at 8.35pm just before Noasis.

    Our long time keys player is emigrating to Spain in the near future and Total 80’s are looking for a permanent replacement. We have managed to cover some of the gigs we have in our diary with deps, but we have been unable to find someone suitable that can permanently commit to the band. As the name suggests, we are an 80’s tribute band of some experience and have an agent who sends us far and wide. There are well paid gigs that we need to cover in Derbyshire (Sat 22 Sep), Sheffield (Fri 9 Nov), Stroud (Sat 10 Nov), Hartlepool (Fri 16 Nov) and Bedworth (Sat 17 Nov). You will need your own transport and equipment capable of dealing with a fairly complex sounding 80’s set. We rehearse at Mushroom Studios, Rayleigh and you will be required to put some decent studio time in prior to these gigs. Given the distance of some of these venues, it is essential that the Friday night gigs are not an issue as load in’s are quite often mid-afternoon. Message me or ring me for further details on 07841-104409. Warren.

    Yes, there's only one Lulu!

    This is an oddity (excuse the pun) in that I can't imagine many, if any, Bowie tributes would bother with it. David used to do this song in several different ways, but I don't recall him using this format himself, although I believe Lulu still uses it in her set. We usually use the 'Bowie at The Beeb' version as a template, but it was quite refreshing to do it this way for a change. What do you think?

    Yes, I think you’re right. Unfortunately we just didn’t have the gear to get that done at this gig. I’ve not inserted still images into a video before, so I might give that a go and see what it turns out like. There’s an effect called ‘Ken Burns’ which pans across a video clip or still frame to give it a sense of movement, so I might try that as well at some point.

    Thanks Jack. Much appreciated. That means a lot 👍

    I'm beginning to get the hang of this video malarky now. Apologies for the quality of the video as I had to set the camera up right at the back, but I think the audio makes up for it.
  13. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Madness 🙄
  14. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    There’s a couple of colours there I really like - Ivory White/~Maple, Jet Black/Rosewood, Burnt Apple, Dropped Copper, but the one I like best is Charcoal Sparkle which is unfortunately a bit too close to two I already have i.e. the Sledge and Starry Night 😬
  15. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Aw, don’t do that bless her.
  16. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    @lemmywinks - as I know you're a fan of the version 😀
  17. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    I've been working on another video from the same gig as Breaking Glass. This is actually the third one, but I haven't quite finished tinkering with the second one yet. This one was far more challenging than either of the other two in that there were issues with one of the audio files and there were no close-up video shots available, so it was a question of making the best of what we had. That said, I think Natalie absolutely knocks this one out of the park. It's great to finally be able to get something decent together to showcase her role in the band. EDIT: There were a couple of things I wasn't happy with in the previous version, so I fixed them 😀

    Tickets available here. ChangesTwoBowie Basschat gig thread here. Four, yes four, new songs being presented for this gig. Hope to see you there.
  19. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    I know it's Thomann, but they are up for pre-order there. Prices start at ~£2150.
  20. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Yeah, just checked and it looks like SLO's are history unless they do limited runs of them at some point.
  21. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    So, if I order an SLO version of this, would it be a Stingray Special SLO Special?
  22. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Love him or hate him, Sterling and his staff do appear to have put some thought into this redesign. I quite fancy giving one of them a try....
  23. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Yes it is. You can hear why it got stuck in my head. The Basschat collective does it again 👍
  24. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Yay. Well done 😀. Where the hell did I get Testament from? Thank you very much 👍
  25. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Not much to go on I'm afraid but.... I had this tune saved in my liked video's on You Tube and it's now been either removed or deleted and I can't remember what it was called or who it was by. It was a drum and bass affair, possibly from the 90's and there wasn't a video to go with it as such, but I do remember the thumbnail for it was a large black crucifix pictured flat, but an at angle. All the dark and moody and possibly could be something to do with the artwork of the song/album? When I found that it had gone I had a feeling the word 'testament' was either in the title or name of the artist, which kind of fits with the crucifix, but I've not been able to identify it through searching. Testament brings up loads of metal stuff which it definitely isn't. This track has a heavy synth bass riff which I couldn't get out of my head, which is why I saved it in the first place.
