Ah, yet another person who uses 'woke' as a pejorative, yet can't explain what it means.... I expect you like to use the word 'snowflake' too? Are you a Daily Fail reader perchance?

Vids starting to come in from our 'Bootleg Rock Show feat. Leather & Lace' tour..... Here's Extreme's 'Get The Funk Out'...

Winger with Steel Panther at Kentish Town Forum.

Just back home for a few days after the first 4 magical dates of our 'Bootleg Rock Show feat. Leather & Lace' tour..... great venues, enthusiastic audiences and a wonderful atmosphere throughout! Stevenage Gordon Craig Theatre, East Grinstead Chequer Mead, Epsom Playhouse and Weston Super Mare Playhouse....

CDs. Very little that I listen to is on streaming sites and I like owning product rather a piece of electricity (downloads).

Tour starts next week! Gig list and ticket links: https://www.leatherandlaceshow.com/shows

Promo vid for tour here:

Spector..... Legend, Pulse II, EuroLX, NS2.... depends on budget.

That's more of a copy of the Warwick (pickup placement, bridge etc).... which is a copy of Ned Steinberger's Spector NS2.

It's just the wording on the back of the headstock changed at different far east factories.

V nice bass! Looks like an early 2000's Legend. Enjoy!

Welcome. Lovely Spector! A PJ fiver is a rarity on a five. Enjoy!

Sold out pre-tour warm up show at Teignmouth Pavilion Theatre on Friday night with Leather & Lace.... great gig with best IEM sound I've ever had thanks to a fill-in last minute tech who really knew their stuff! Lots of compliments on the Spector/GK tones outfront too! All ready for our 'Bootleg Rock Show' theatre tour in May/June now 😎🎸🎶 Sat night I played with the function band at a fabulous private 40th bday gig in the grounds of an amazing old house in Stow On The Wold. We were well looked after, there was great food & drink, lots of well bred ladies and mucho audience singing and dancing 😃

Isn't that the band that Wendy sings for?! I had no idea you were her bassist! Will have to come and see you guys sometime!

I meant the OP of the discussion of the Skynyrd/Abba tracks

Nailed it. The OP post re: Sweet Home Alabama & Does Your Mother Know missed the point completely. I don't get why people seem to look for issues when they aren't there....

I went to a yacht rock/disco/west-coast gig by Joel Sarakula at Nells in West Kensington on Saturday night. Awesome!

Sitting, stroking cat on my lap and laughing creepily to myself..... heh heh.....

They're releasing a 9 string piccolo bass in a sick coloured mustard colour called the...... Poor Decision bass.....

Rick Beato in conversation tonight at Bloomsbury Theatre, London...... then 'nu-Yacht Rock' artist Joel Sarakula on Saturday night at Nells in West Kensington.

To be honest, Sweet Home Alabama is one of those songs where I seldom see a cover band bassist actually play it correctly. They usually play it far too straight, lacking the swing, pushes etc... I can't stand Mr Brightside, Sex On Fire or Oasis..... hate those tunes/bands. Overplayed nonsense for the chav brigade.... so it doesn't matter about the basslines as the songs themselves make me heave.

A few of my fave solo albums basslines.... if anyone's interested From Paul's album: From Ace's album:
