Wondered where all the scooters were going the other day. Looks like a great gig and sounded great on the short VID clip. Dave

Oddly enough i'm finding the same with the punk band. I'm new to punk at 62yrs old but thoroughly enjoying the gigs. Not had a bad gig yet since end last year i've been doing gigs every 2nd week on average. With the Glam band we still get calls on occasion to play some funk songs even tho its well advertised as a 70's Glam Rock tribute with all the outfits etc. Not had any troublesome ones tho. Dave

That's not so good after you'd done more than contract. Sorry to hear this kind of thing. I guess you move on and put it behind you. Not sure how i would have raected under those circumstances but i hope it was as you did..........controlled. Well done on that. Dave

That would be my worst nightmare. I like to know songs inside out before gigging them altho i have done very short notice gigs learning the basics and taking some notes with me. I just couldn't cope with what you did tho. I'd be a bag of nerves. Dave

Is it up for sale on BC, I cant find your post ? I am now getting interested. LOL

I would like to try one but i'm trying to go a bit lighter. I'm not getting any younger and i do love my Mesa gear. Dave

At 30Kg its far heavier than my Mesa Mpulse600 and rack at 24Kg The HB WB-100 comes in at either 13Kg or 16Kg will need to double check which it is but still a lot lighter than my current rack. I dont want to go back to old valve amps which can develop unexpected age related issues. Dave

Its my own opinion of what i dont like as the OP asked. If you like them that's fine, i have no issue with what you like. I just dont like or appreciate them. I was referring to modern groups tho ......... post autune. Dave

That was one of my main reasons too until i saw WoT review the WB-100 and i now blame him for my severe GAS. Personally i think he should be buying me the amp because of all the stress i've been put under Its worth a try. Dave

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
