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!!)

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!!

The gigs went well....Len - I had different shirts!!! it was really hot up there (stage under marquee cover)... but a great relaxed couple of sets in the sun on the beach too! http://www.newquayinn.co.uk/

Thanks Bert - looking forward to it!

Hi... a quick intro... been playing/learning for about 3 years now - and finally started doing a few gigs with band and really enjoying it! nothing too serious apart from the bar bill! also stand in for bass player in another band... doing a help for heroes charity gig tomorrow (saturday) with 3 other bands - it turns out I am playing in 2 of the bands!
Anyhow - south Devon based... thats it for the minute!
cheers
