Hahaha.... thanks guys.... strip down time then I reckon.... or maybe swap for a bit of Rob Halfords leotard!!!

Just throwing it out here out of interest... I got hold of a OLP mm2... the usual... but it has been signed on the back by Chris wolsteholme in marker pen... ideally i wanted to give the guitar a new lease of life by stripping and recoating etc...... do you think the signature has any relevance towards the value of the guitar and worth keeping on? I have no certification but im sure I can get his sister (who works behind the bar in one of my locals in Teignmouth) to authenticate... What do you reckon?

I been learning/brushing up on set for sunday - Im depping for the bands usual player.... nothing too stretching, but a few interesting songs along with some equally dodgey ones!!... dont shoot the messenger (so to speak!!)

[quote name='merlin' timestamp='1382970815' post='2258595'] they could a least buy you a drink.. [/quote] I saw a couple of the guys in the pub on saturday night - they didnt offer a drink.... I think thats the last of my help.....

Thank you all for your comments - maybe I will give this next session a miss.....

Lol.....news travels fast to Teignmouth!!!

Yeah - unfortunately if they did want me to join I would have to turn them down......

Yeah - a bit strange that they did ask.... even stranger the fact their bassist can never get to practice....

Hey Skidder - suppose better not mention it was exeter eh! General buller by any chance!!??

Fair enough! thanks

Hey thats a good idea - like I said, I dont mind playing as I consider it an extra bit of practice, but definately will get their bassist to cough up!! cheers

Hi - just interested to hear your views on a very small issue - nothing overly important, but wondering what the ettiquette is.... I have been helping out a band in practice sessions, as their bassist cannot make the practice session (strange, but hey!), we play for about three hours on a saturday morning at a small dedicated music rehearsal facility. My role for three occasions now, is to help them in learning and general playing of the music.... I do not mind as it is simple enough music and it occupies my saturday morning. I volunteer my help for free as I know a couple of the band members socially.... So.... at the end of my last session with them they asked if I would help out next saturday - I said no problem.... they then asked for a share of the facility hiring fee.... not too expensive, but as I didnt have any cash with me I said I could not... they said thats okay - you can pay for it next week!! My question being - should I be expected to pay as I will not be in the band during their gigs and I help for free..... what do you reckon?

Im vegetarian.... but geographically the best part of 300 miles away.... sorry!

Hi steve and thanks.... sunny Devon is kinda...........sunny at the mo!!
