The Kung Fu Kickers?

You like your Pbass You like flat wound strings You like Ernie Ball strings So a set of their Cobalt flats could be the solution, as much more roundwound sounding than regular flats.

Sorry to hear you didn’t get it @police squad

Currently on is Guy Garvey: From The Vaults 1983. Listening to these songs takes me back, my formative year, the one where I left school & started work, bought my first motorbike, discovered girls & beer, developed new friendships other than people from school including meeting other musicians and trying to set up new bands.

Bass Direct and Bass Bros aren’t too far away from your area, def worth a look.

Aguilar DB599 is 3.65” x 1.5” x 1.25”

Tech21 VT500? Would think that would be good for those tones.

Yeah horses for courses as they say. All of my gigs have FOH so it would make things much easier for my very dodgy back to gig with just a preamp pedal to FOH. I`ve done it before at gigs when the provided amp has taken a turn for the worse and it went well, I`m fine with it though do still prefer the sound of an amp behind me rather than in my monitors.

Although I love having an amp & cab behind me I’m still mulling over gigging with a preamp/DI pedal straight to FOH. Only thing is we don’t do many gigs with soundchecks - @BigRedX do you encounter any issues with just having line checks at all?

I remember being rather impressed by the demo on YouTube of the Aguilar DB599.

Sell your aftermarket pickguard and buy the one I’m selling on here which has the truss-rod cutout?

Great that a well known music business is going to Denmark St, rather than another one leaving.

I`ve never really been a drug user - did a bit of speed when younger but drink was always my bag. I always found dope-smokers to be the worst ones to get motivated, to the point where at one band practice our guitarist turned up without his guitar. It was like working with Dylan from The Magic Roundabout. I should add however that whilst it might have been a tiresome process in getting him/them going, they never caused any aggro, I`d far prefer it that way round than dealing with a coke-head wanting to wallop everyone.

Simon bought a pedal from me, nice easy transaction and advised of safe delivery, something I always appreciate

Re spares, I put a couple in my back right hand side pocket, should I drop my pick I can get one from there in a matter of seconds.

Similarly I keep a spreadsheet of what I own but don’t include what I’ve moved on.

I love the end of Layla, best part of the song for me, though much of that for the piano as for the guitar.

There`s too many things that can be looked at in music - is it right that a £70 ticket gets "dynamically priced" at £350. Is it right that people, after paying that £350 to see a singer actually get a dance show with the singer miming. I`d prefer these things to be looked at first.

It`s a strange one, I look at vids of 80s rock bands such as Motley Crue in their heydays and they were great when all completely ruined, yet now when all sober & healthy, well not quite so good.

For myself it will be once I no longer feel right/comfortable doing it. Whether that be due to health or whatever who knows.

Def a band of two halves, pop-glam stuff great, rock B-side stuff also great.

That was a very cunning plan, get her drunk on the rider so that she`s impressed with the band, well done!

Yeah they fit fine, I have a set on a JMJ

I watched a bit but the way he does The Police songs now isn’t for me, sure they’re much better crafted now but I prefer them in their original form. Did think that his band were great though, a full sound with a remarkable amount of space, not an easy feat at all yet they seemed to manage it with ease.

Sorry to hear this, dreadful news
