Again so nice. You guys have a great sound together. Dave

One of my mates did similar thing with Games Without Frontiers. His band are called Anchorage Alaska. Worth a look if a Gabriel fan. Dave

Absolutely brilliant. Some cracking vocals on there and your bass sounds so smooth and warm. Very nice playing. I'm also a fan of some of Peter Gabriel's music but not all but that was so good. Loved the wee vid you made too, it makes a difference to a song when you have a fun vid to watch. Many many thanks for sharing that, i really enjoyed it. Now correct me if i'm wrong but did i count 4 different girls in that clip ? One in particular has an amazing range taking the higher vocal parts her voice remained faultless. I like to hear that kind of vocal line. Dave

What made you decide to go with a pick rather than fingerstyle. Just curious as i've struggled with that issue over 40 yrs but always remained fingers. Usually guitarists that wanted me to use a pick because that's what they do 😂 Looks like it was a good gig and nice looking J bass too. Dave

Great that it felt right and not awkward. Good to hear your feedback on it as i remember it wasn't an easy decision for you to walk away. That's a nice happy Sunday morning story to cheer us all up. Dave

Same goes for your MM fretless. That would be good to hear as well if its possible @ezbass. Dave

We definitely need some vids of this set up @Norris sounds like a good fun night based on your playing technique description. Dave

How did it feel being back in the old band after 6 yrs away @Lozz196 ? You were with them a long time if i remember right. Dave

No probs enjoy your meal, sorry for interruption ................ twice 😂 Dave

Hi Rob, not able to open the transcription for this one. Dave

Sometimes you just know. Wish you luck with any new projects and keep us all posted. Dave

it must be like sharing your bass at a gig. I generally wont let strangers use my bass. I refused to let SKLF use my bass rig cause i don't know them. Perhaps the reason we lost the gig 🤣 (it actually got cancelled.) Dave

I always find it funny that drummers almost always like to use their own snare drum. Dave

You could add more complex basslines to the rock music like Geddy Lee. Don't know what genre of rock you play so that was my only suggestion. Other option is to keep two bands running as i have up until end of last year. Dave

Every time i watch Jeff Berlin i'm amazed and astounded at his technique. Dave

Found the Chic Corea version with John Pattitucci and that was scary good. I'll have a look at Stanley Clarke version too. Dave

I've never heard of it. Time for a google search Dave

Well done. You're a better man than me. I couldn't do a jam these days. Dave

Semi-retirement ? you're busier than i've ever been. You'll never retire Pete, you love it too much and leaving your gear in the venue is a gift from heaven. 😂 All the best with this new project, sure it'll be a walk in the park for you. And there's another choice song for the request band. Itchycoo Park. Dave

That's quite a rare bass i would think. Never seen one before. How does it sound with both pick ups near the neck must be quite deep and moody. Dave

I take a fence to that. 😂 Dave

Oohh nice bass Daryl. Dave

Might be a daft question but have you tried some kind of back support when gigging. No idea if that's even a thing ? Dave

Have you injured it or just age catching up on you. ? I always forget how old i'm getting. At 65 i get aches and pains i never used to get plus things take a lot longer to heal. Dave

My strap is quite thick, not sure i could get the straplock on over the strap but its worth a look tomorrow. I use the straplocks for quick changes if need be plus i can't slip a bass and strap over my head when wearing the Glam gear because of the long hair. It catches the hair under the strap. I need to put the strap over my shoulder and under the hair and then clip the bass to the strap. Dave
