  1. We're with Insure4Music, check out their prices.
  2. EBMM prices have gone crazy, I didn't realise until recently how much something like my Blue Pearl SR5 would cost new now.
  3. Whatever the sound crew have done with the bass should be set for every Glastonbury gig forever, every band must use a Stingray and never touch the dials again! First time ever heard what the bassist is playing.
  4. So far this is the highlight of this year's festival, mix sounds good too. Stingray 5 is cutting through in every octave.
  5. So what have we learnt from that, don't attempt something if you can't reasonably expect to achieve it? Hhmm.
  6. Imagine having that many guitars and them all being broken, poor bloke isn't having much luck!
  7. Why don't bands like GnR just smash out all the hits? That's ten minutes of pointless jam night noodling followed by something we've never heard before. If it's not your gig just play your hits. For a master class see Queen at live aid.
  8. It's when the earth is bad coming from the supply, bad extension lead or the socket feeding it.
  9. He's actually sounding a bit better on this longer footage, poor lad clearly needs a good rest.
  10. Bit of a grumpy teenager, nicotine stained teeth and chewing gum like her old man though.
  11. Lewis Capaldi, wouldn't even have him in my pub band. New Foof drummer is pretty good.
  12. My dad used to do electrical work for Geezer, one day they were putting up garden lights and him and his Mrs were having a right barney outside about him buying another car ,a Ferrari maybe but my dad knows nothing about cars but something along those lines. He went off in a mood and she came out later with the tea and biscuits, she apologised about the language and ruckus and explained that she wasn't bothered about him buying another car, it's his money but he kept buying them then he'd get bored and leave them all over the place, look there's a Maserati in there, and a Porsche over there and so on, she was only bothered because he was littering the place with exotic cars. Nice bloke though apparently.
  13. I had some Rotosounds bought online, they sounded terrible, felt horrible and lost what top end they had after one gig, definitely genuine 😜
  14. There was a lot of stigma regarding the working conditions a few years ago but I've not heard much lately, it's that still a thing?
  15. I'm not sure how many employees Musicman have in San Luis but the factory isn't massive, I had two laps of the building before anyone started to give us funny looks so we left. I imagine the Fender sites are much more like what you think of when thinking of mass produced items. I'm not sure I'd spend £3000+ on any bass tbh, I'm glad I've already got a couple that'll see me out.
  16. I've got an name in my head that fits the logo I think, could it be Rockstar? R and a Star if you turn it 90 degrees.
  17. In some ways Harley have been more like Fender, massive debts and propped up by government money, buy up other brands that are doing well and could seriously diversify their product range and possibly finally turn a profit only to close the brand down for no good reason. Genz-Benz vs Buell.
  18. You'd think these crack convertor places would be suspicious as to why the local toe rag turns up twice a week with expensive gear.
  19. Most covers bands that do the "let's play what we want and all choose our favourite songs rather than doing sex on fire, it's our band not my band" never get out of the rehearsal studio, I've been in many of them. I like a band leader but they've got to be open minded to everyone's suggestions, I've been in bands where we had a band leader but they wanted to play obscure B sides that no one else knows or really likes. Again they never did a gig.
