Something new learned today. 👍 I had no idea technology had moved that far on from the Roland TR606. 😉 Dave

You look quite different off stage without the stage gear and lighting there Cat. I might not have recognised you without your usual stage headgear. 😂 Would def love to see you guys live. Such an interesting project. Dave

I'm 100% with the others on this. If you don't make the effort for a 3 song audition then you don't deserve to be in that band. Hungover at 3pm and an hour late is unacceptable behaviour and i'd have serious issues with anyone that treated my band with a lack of respect. If he had forewarned you that he had a social event the night before but had learned the songs i might consider a second chance but he failed in every respect. I'm a bit surprised you've struggled to get a decent drummer for a metal band. Always thought there was an abundance of heavy hitters out there just looking for the right band. I'd keep on searching. Dave

I take basic tools with me and my bass soft cases have the respective allan keys in the pockets but i always take a spare bass if one fails. I've had to adjust the E string saddle on my MIM P bass once but it was because the saddle screws were very loose and dropping the saddle. I replaced the full bridge on it. Dave

I've never actually seen a band use a tip jar here. Dave

That's a great idea. Might stop people tripping over them. 👍 Dave

Not at all Daryl. Age is just a number and while the options are there for you then take them with open arms. Dave

Unfortunately all corners in the Bass Cave are occupied. Doesn't help that i have a full clothes rack in there too for all my Glam costumes. Dave

Does it stay in place ok without having a body as such to steady it against you. ? Dave

i'll have a wee look at that but having just bought a new car before Xmas it'll need to wait till state pension comes in now. 😂 Dave.

Keep us posted on how Kiwi's neck is as i have looked at the thread on BC. Dave

Must admit the double bass thing has been creeping into my head recent years but would probably go for the more slim line versions rather than the full bodied DB mainly because of space to store it when not in use. The Bass Cave just aint big enough. 👌 Dave

I have absolutely no idea what's going on there. Less said the better i reckon 😂 Dave

WOW that is truly gorgeous. Enjoy and have fun. Dave

Is that a graphite neck on the Jazz ? If so what do you think of it. Dave

Nice set up. Dave

Good to hear it worked. I had a conversation with Neil Murray once and he was telling me how he would chop and change strings to get the volumes more even. Until he told me this i had no idea the string thickness would have such an effect. I now use 45-100 strings for this reason on my basses these days. Think it was ok when i was hitting strings really hard with my fingers but in recent years i'm playing a bit lighter and it seemed to be more noticeable. All good then. Dave

Clean cups and fresh milk in a rehearsal studio. LUXURY. !!!! 😂 Dave.

Saw this band on a Country & Western show before Xmas and thought i'd buy this album. Definitely a great album with every song enjoyable. No bad ones. It's not my usual kind of music but i have a couple of albums in similar vane now. Dave

Yep he is a nice guy and an avid whisky connoisseur. He's been playing a long time too plus he's played in some really well known local bands. I've never actually managed to see him play with the Eagles tribute. Dave

Moonage Daydream would be a great song to play. Dave

And that's the reason i always post or print off the set list for our gigs when we make any changes depending on venue or add any new songs. We've had occasion where we started off in different songs only to find someone was using an older set list. Doesn't happen now tho. I do like your sense of humour with your band but i'm not sure our guys would appreciate that kind of joke. Think i would be looking for a new job. 😂 Dave

Its live music, sometimes things go wrong. Think we've all experienced this at some stage. Was it Hotel Caledonia that was on. I know the bass player thru FB. Dave

Well done selling out the Bungalow. Nice one @jezzaboy Look forward to seeing some pics of the new P bass when it arrives. Dave
