Another excellent basschatter. Bought a pedal from @jezzaboy. Arrived next day with possibly the best packaging job I've seen. Highly recommended, thanks!

Did they not get suspicious when you took your bass with you?

Noticed at half time that one of the PA tops wasn't showing the little blue power light. Waited until the rest of the band were looking the other way before flipping the switch on the back.....

Yes. DM me your details. -
You know you've made the big time when....................

"Join a band" they said. "It will get you closer to the ladies" they said.... -
Thanks Dave, she's quite a find. I used to do a bit of noodling over the intro to this, but now I resist the temptation to get in the way, stand back and enjoy.

50 minute afternoon spot at Ellesmere Port Summer Jam today. Only our third ever gig. It's a slow ball to get rolling right now but we're getting there. No amp/cab, just a HX stomp in and IEM straight from the desk. It always sounds fine at rehearsal but I need to do more work on my gig mix as it's never as well defined. Thinking about that diverts my focus away from what I'm playing, so I need to get it sorted. Played well, pretty happy all round. Sun came out and people listened. Nice things were said afterwards. Unfortunately the wrestling show had finished by the time we got off stage so my plans for a top turnbuckle band pic were scuppered. Here's a little phone clip of Macy Gray. Of course, our friends & family managed to catch the bit where I trip over my lead, nearly stack it then hit the wrong note. And some Jamiroquai with added photo (video?) bombing.

Excellent condition lightly used Mic Mechanic vocal pedal. This is the V2 version. Affectionately known as the 'talent pedal' by the rest of the band, has a lovely inbuilt EQ that sweetens up the vocal. Also has onboard echo, reverb and pitch correction. Price includes UK postage, but no power supply or box.-

Jim dunlop flush mount straplocks. Very good condition. The female part of the lock is designed to sit flush in the body of the guitar. Dunlop describes it like this: "The specially designed strap buttons are installed flush with the guitar body leaving nothing protruding when not using a strap for playing comfort. The strap secures to the button with a 360 groove and ball design allowing the unit to rotate without catching, the strap can be easily attached and removed from the guitar when required using the push button and interchangeable strap buttons allow the same strap to be used with several guitars. Case hardened steel skin for guaranteed long life and the system has been tested up to 800lbs of pull." Price includes UK postage.

First time at Matchbox in Warrington. Absolutely huge room. Sharpening up the short set for our appearance at Ellesmere Port Summer Jam on 3rd August and messing about with phone cameras to try and get some clips for the band socials. https://youtube.com/shorts/3K7Fehhf_To?feature=shared -
Great straps these. The short version is 3" wide and easily adjustable from 40" - 46". Super comfy. This one is in decent nick, all the main strap ends, sliders etc are in great order. However, there's a little bit of bobbling on the outer grey fabric and the stitching on the pick pocket is coming away. Hence the price. Collect from Sale, South Manchester or a couple of quid postage.-

My current band is Tea Time Funk Club, based between Manchester & Liverpool. We're a covers band playing chilled out, funky versions of 90s RnB, classic soul and pop - a similar vein to Scary Pockets and Couch. It's completely different from anything I've done before, a real workout as I have to be much more precise and considered in stripped back arrangements. Four piece - Bass, drums, keys & vocals with hopefully a sax player on the way We've been together about a year - started gigging last March but getting the ball rolling has been slow going. We've done two gigs with another in August but we're still trying to find the right venues for the stuff we do and then get our foot in the door. Videos:

I know it's harder for some folk, but at the end of the day we're the entertainment. It's our job to convince people that they're having a good time (and hopefully to buy more drinks etc). If that happens then everybody wins and we hopefully get rebooked. For me that starts with looking like I'm enjoying myself. I'm lucky enough to be able to gig as a hobby, so it's supposed to be fun, otherwise why would I bother?
