    Also let’s not forget one of his best - Hot Chocolate’s ‘So you win again’. Russ still does some live dates - he played a music venue near me last year. I was working so couldn’t go, but guess it would have been a great evening.

    Paul Carrack and his band at Scarborough Spa theatre last night. Capacity crowd in this old venue on a balmy evening. Paul was fabulous, and despite having maybe a cold (or hay fever?) his voice was still as amazing as ever. A superb band too, including his son Jack on drums and wonderful bassist Jeremy Meek playing a sunburst Precision with what sounded like flats. We were at the rear of the stalls in front of the sound engineer and apart from maybe being a touch on the quiet side the sound was spot on with the bass sounding exactly like a Precision should. They played all the songs associated with Paul from his long career, including ‘How long’, ’Over my shoulder’ ‘Tempted’ ‘Love will keep us alive’ and the inevitable ‘The living years’, along with some good covers - Springsteen’s ‘If I should fall behind’ being the standout for me. A great evening with one of my favourite singers.

    Hey Pete - I’m playing at this festival tomorrow too with The Alligators, also in the blues tent. Think we may be on just before you - if so come and say hi? Cheers, Pete.

    To be fair though, the Rumble 100V3 wasn’t really designed to take on such loud situations. I’ve used mine with a quiet drummer, keys and guitarist and it coped fine for what was needed. The Rumble 500 combo is an excellent thing IMO, loud / lightweight and sounds ace! Having been a ‘heavy’ cab user for decades, I’ve been amazed by how good the lightweight stuff can be. Barefaced cabs have been a game changer for me, and still got my Compact which I’m going to use at a festival gig on Friday.

    Pretty much me to a T as well! Maybe sounds a bit odd, but gigging itself has been a main part of my exercise for decades. Like you I also walk a fair bit, with regular walks around where I live. I’ve never fancied gyms though, or any regular sports stuff. At 67 I’m still lugging my own stuff to gigs, although lightweight kit has been a godsend to me. I’ve noticed the day after a gig has felt worse than it did a few years ago, but nothing I can’t cope with at present. Hopefully I’m good for a few more years yet, although 5 gigs this week may prove otherwise. 😆

    I’m playing with blues trio ‘The Alligators’ at this event on Friday evening.

    I did the same, still got a couple. Used one last week between my Hartke amp and old 4x10. The orange cable was easy to find in a bag of leads too.

    Original price was overly optimistic, so now up for sale at £150. Cheers.

    I have a Rumble 100v3 combo and the DI is affected this way, but the larger 200 and 500 versions are not. It’s the only thing I don’t like about it, but as Tim says above a cheap DI box is the solution if you can’t live with it. For how I use mine it’s not a problem.

    Funnily enough we’ve done all 3 songs with my acoustic duo. My mate who plays guitar with me told me the Gilbert O’Sullivan track featured Big Jim Sullivan on guitar - it is a beautiful solo. 😊
  12. casapete
    Yup, agree they’re all great solos, although Ronnie Wood’s solo on ‘Maggie May’ was played on electric, probably a Zemaitis. He also played bass and acoustic 12 string on it. 😊

    Great bass at a great price too!

    Another pedal I am selling on behalf of my predecessor in my band who passed away last year. His widow is wanting help with clearing out some of his considerable music stuff. This is in virtually as new condition, and comes boxed with the power supply and some bumf / stickers etc. I believe it was purchased from Bass Direct a few years ago, but looks little used, if at all.

    BBC4 is showing Brian Wilson at Glastonbury from 2005, at 9pm tonight. Worth watching for his amazing band. 😊

    Again Paul, you are selling a bass I’d love, but don’t need / can afford / can collect etc etc. Cracking basses these , and for this price a bargain too I reckon. Good luck with your sale mate.
  24. casapete
    I think we need pics please!

    Another Wednesday evening at my new residency playing rock and roll dance stuff. Great selection of tunes - some standards plus some deeper cuts from Elvis, Johnny Burnette and Big Joe Turner. I sang a couple of Chuck Berry songs, ( the inevitable Johnny B Goode and Roll over Beethoven), so am looking to expand my repertoire of his stuff to lesser known songs that are still immediate & danceable. Bit of a NAD for me - first time out for a recently acquired Hartke HA3500. Not much time to fiddle with it so pretty much straight in, and it sounded as well as I’d hoped. Only got it as we can leave our gear at the venue, so no heavy lifting required. Using a Fender Rumble has turned me into a right wuss….
