Played an afternoon show today at Warners hotel in Bembridge, Isle Of Wight with Duran/Spandau tribute 'From Gold To Rio'. Nice big room and stage and a great sound in the IEMs and out front 👍

I'm off to the Isle Of Wight today to play the Warner Hotel in Bembridge tomorrow afternoon.

Tbh, it's more there as a back up these days, but I do prefer the chorus in the B3...

Two dep gigs this weekend with the Lee Aaron Band and a couple more chances to put the LFSys Monaco cab through its paces...😎 First gig was on Friday at the lovely Login Lounge in Camberley... great venue and people, but the PA subs under the stage provided just a bit too much onstage low-end for my liking. Sounded great out front though apparently! Saturday night was at the cosier Frimley Green Club where the lack of PA support for the backline allowed the Spector/GK/LFSys combination to really shine! Probably one of the best bass tones I've ever had onstage with the LFSys cab really emphasising with crystal clarity the tight, punchy, piano tones that the Spector and GK really excel in...! The dispersion was excellent too... with my Son, who was sidestage on the other side of the loud drumkit and guitarist, saying he could hear me clearly! Check these cabs out if you get the chance! Contact our very own @steviewho makes them.... 👍

As above. I'm likely heading up on Sun 2nd March from Camberley area and wondered if anyone fancied a car share/petrol cost share?

Haven't seen anyone do that....

Me too, I'm a rocker....... but I can't deny the masterful John Taylor grooves!

It's all about the Farewell To Kings album/era for me. Everything else comes 2nd....

A great weekend of dep gigs with the wonderful 'From Gold To Rio' Spandau/Duran tribute show at the lovely Whitby Pavilion and Wakefield Theatre Royal! My 1st time going completely ampless with only my Spector Dimension HP thru my Shure Wireless/Thumpinator/HAZardlAMPs pre pedal and HX Stomp (set to GK800RB/Ampeg 810) between me and the desk....! It all worked great though... compliments from 2 separate sound engineers, audience members afterwards.... and the band members loved what they heard in their IEMS too (as did I!). Result! 😃🎸😎👍 Lovely to meet forum member and ELO Experience bassist @TPJat Wakefield too! Whitby Pavilion: Wakefield Theatre Royal:

When I flew to Europe last year I went through customs in and out with no issue as my basses were considered 'carry-ons'. If I'd had amps etc then I would have need a carnet (and would have been in a van!).

Not that well known. Never heard of it, particularly on a 5 string. Sounds like it could be a pickup issue, nothing to do with the bass itself. As Geofio said, Mark should sort it no worries...

I have an Interstellar Ethos 4. Great bass, lovely neck and a proper Spector. I swapped out the Aguilar preamp and pickups for EMG though...

Just eyeliner mate!

Looking forward to depping with the excellent Spandau/Duran theatre show 'From Gold To Rio' this coming weekend. Friday is Whiby Pavilion: https://whitbypavilion.co.uk/event/the-greatest-hits-of-spandau-ballet-duran-duran/ Saturday is Wakefield Theatre Royal: https://www.theatreroyalwakefield.co.uk/events/from-gold-to-rio-2025

Just got a couple of great straps from Dave. Good comms and fast delivery, cheers chap!

Reasonable guitarist, absolute 🔔🔚.

Never was a high bar to start with, but she's fooling herself that it's anywhere near what it was.....

Nope. Not for me if these prices are correct.....

Toto at Wembley Arena last night gave a masterclass in songwriting, melody, musicianship, vocals & live performance! Best I've seen them.....! 🎶🎸😎 Nice to see Christopher Cross in support too. You can't go wrong with Sailing, Ride Like The Wind & Arthur's Theme.... I have to say, I felt extremely privileged to experience a concert of such quality. 👍😎

VIP package is over £700...

I have no guilty pleasures. Good music is good music.....
