Just catching up on this thread and still a lot to read but i have seen a few comments about The Glitter Band. The drummer in both my bands played with the Glitter Band during 90's. He's played some amazing venues including Wembley Arena and major venues in Germany. We play some of the GB songs in our 70's Glam Rock covers band. As a teenager in 70's i bought Gary Glitter singles and one album and also a few of the GB singles. Their career carried on but to be honest it was the run down of Glam Rock in mid 70's that dampened the classic Glam Rock bands. As a Glam covers band we ddid agree not to play ang GG songs. My unpopular styles of music are Rap or similar styles. I dont appreciate "Boy" or "Girl" bands as i find them a bit fake. Not so much a band as simply a group of singers and i use that word loosely as without autotune i dont think many of them can hold a tune. Dave

Could be interesting. I haven't seen that but i was looking for the WB-100 and had my blinkers on. Would make for a great back up gig amp if small enough. Dave

The new one will sound better and take your playing to a whole new level. SELL ME YOURS Dave

Keep us all posted when and if you can @wateroftyne i know you are well thought off by Leszek. He did tell me about you on a PM. Looking forward to something soon. Dave

I can only hope it doesn't affect the overall tone of the amps. My name is on his list to buy one of the early updated WB-100 amps. Dave

You beat me to that 😂 Dave

You need to book early for the TT. My young brother was trying to go a few yrs back but struggled for decent accomodation so passed on it. He is a mad racing fan tho. Dave

I quite like the rolling page idea too. That way its always up to date when you look at it. Got my 👍 Dave

Haven't seen one either and its a great idea. Maybe you should start one off. Dave

Tried the NYXL's at their first gig on Saturday night. Have to say i was fair impressed with them. Nice clarity and a lot easier on the fingers too which was decidedly noticeable for me. Will see how they last before a final decision on whether or not they are keepers. Dave

Now that is kinda funny. Sorry for laughing but he is a guitarist. Dave

And there's you thinking of giving up on bands too. There's always a sun shining somewhere. Good luck with the festival gig, that should be great fun to do. Dave

Says it all. Sometimes the smaller gigs are just way better. I love when that happens. Dave

Sounds like a successful night for you. Well done. Dave

Played a gig at my old local from the 80's. Girdwoods in Wishaw. I used to frequent 7 days a week back in them far away days. Punk band tonight and it went down a storm. Lots of great feedback and great to see some old faces from my younger days. Even got complimented on choice of songs. Few punk fans had never heard any other bands playing a lot of our set list live and a few Ramones songs they'd never even heard The Ramones play live. Everyone was bouncing away and clapping and singing along. Just a great night. Using my Sandberg MarloweDK again and it just works so well in the Punk band. Dave

You have arrived on the Dark Side of which there is no return. Good start tho and think of all the exciting GAS times you will have ahead of you. Dave

That's not good. Do yu sweat a lot hen practicing at home, I'm guessing no. Gig sweating i can understand and is usually harder on strings. Think Scot's bass lessons guy has an issue where his hands sweat and kill his strings very quickly hence the gloves he wears. Dave

Was that within a month of you playing regular gigs ? Dave

what is it that you prefer over the NYXL's. Just curious ? Dave

That's a couple of you guys that like the XT strings. Might give them a try next. Dave

That's the main thing. Dave

Does look nice. Dave

Interesting bass there @howdenspur. Is that a Fender Elite ? Dave

Unfortunately my Dad passed away when i was 22 after almost a year of cancer so he never got to see me play in bands plus it would never have been his kind of music. I did manage to have a few beers with him a couple of times in his local pub before he became unwell. Dave
