The singer in the band used to be in an Ozzy tribute so that might well be included at some point. Dave

If its good enough for Neil Murray what more do you need ? Dave

Mart, I'll stick with my white Sandberg VM4 as i can get more variation in tone from it plus its a very comfy bass to play. Its my goto bass for most things. Would consider a 2nd one as a back up its that good. Daryl, I'm more a 70's rock / prog guy but i did enjoy a lot of the 80's "hair" rock. Could be fun. Dave

Where did that hair come from in the 2nd pic. Cracking action pic. Nice one. Dave

Cheers Mart, should be fun altho i'm not 100% sure i want all the extra work to get another band up to speed but i'll see how it goes. I don't want to see the punk band fold and be left with just the Glam band as they don't play every month except near Xmas as you'll know its 2 nights every weekend in Dec thru Hogmanay but Glam is just great fun. Rock is more my background in music. Love the Ozzy song they do Shot In The Dark. That's more my kind of rock rather than the soppy Heart and Whitesnake songs they want to do At 14 songs they still have a lot to do for a gig they have in Feb. Cheers for the good wishes, very much appreciated Mart. Dave

Hi Daryl, not nosey at all. Nice to be asked. Its the singer and guitarist from my Glam covers band along with a female singer that supported the Glam band in one of the clubs. She also works with the singer doing solo stuff with backing tracks. The drummer is from the guitarists old band. I was originally first choice when they started this project but they didn't want to ask because i was committed to two bands already. Their current bassist isn't pulling his weight and not learning the songs correctly as far as i know. Its basically a new start band with only 14 songs so far with about half still to be perfected as mentioned above. Singer is early 50's, guitarist is circa 60 i think, female singer is a good bit younger but has a cracking voice with a great range. I won't be sexist and comment on her good looks Drummer and guitarist are from Perth area which is about 70 miles from me, singers are approx 20-30 miles away. I think they have a keys player but not sure what's happening there. With their existing bassist not doing so great with the songs and they knew about my punk band slipping away they decided to ask if i was interested. They asked me to pick 6 of their songs and work on them for Thu night when they rehearse. Having looked at all 14 songs i should manage to get most if not all done for the rehearsal. Its not so much an audition as more to see if it will suit me and i'm ok doing these kind of songs. They intend doing the clubs we do with the Glam band so better paid than pubs / bars. Songs are Whitesnake, Cher, Ozzy, Alice Cooper, Poison, Bryan Adams, Heart, Guns & Roses, Bon Jovi. Hope that answers everything you asked Daryl but if not just fire away, i'm always happy to talk on BC. Dave

Last night with Emergency Exit punk covers band in a regular venue for us in The Cave in Paisley. Sex Pistols were playing in Glasgow so most of our regulars were there but it turned out to be reasonably busy which was a big surprise for us. Few mistakes made as we wind the band down this year. It was a good gig tho and we did get asked for several encores. Lack of interest within the band after many many years together. No ill feeling about it but we've decided it might be best to just take a break and see how everyone feels in New Year. Not sure if it will come together again tho. Auditioning with another band on Thu night doing 80's rock so will see how that goes. Its not so much an audition as more to see if i fancy doing it. I know the singers and guitarist. Dave

I've never had to do that calculation but i was always under the impression that with 440V 3-phase you took a supply from any 2 phases to neutral ? Having done a quick search i realise its for motor windings i was thinking off. If you measured across 2 phases on a motor you would get 230V. I now see what you mean. My apologies there. Dave

Surely any 2 phases to common would give 230V. If its wired correctly it shouldn't be an issue. Not every feed in a building will be from the same 2 phases. It should be shared across all 3 phases to balance load. Dave

Would that make any difference ? Dave

One of my pet hates when arriving at a venue. I've had trouble with my old Mesa Mpulse picking up noise when using the same extension as other amps or even wireless units. Move it to another socket on same ring and its fine. Not experienced any issues with my HB WB-100 to be honest. I try not to plug my amp into the same extension as any other amp tho. Still same mains ring as most venues only have one ring on stage areas. Dave

Exciting night by sounds of it. I always feel uncomfortable when someone is overly drunk and i'm just waiting for something to happen. Dave

Sorry to hear that @12stringbassist. Can only hope things pick up for you mate. Take care. You've always got us lot to keep you cheered up a bit. Dave

They sound great Daryl, will keep an eye out for them. Might check them out more on Youtube and possibly buy a CD if available. Dave

100% this. I personally think you will be a great match for this fundraiser. Great musicians, easy to listen to vocalist. What's not to enjoy. Enjoy and have fun with it Daryl. @Bluewine. Dave

Mine only does portrait and landscape ............. i think

This is all way above my head. I'm one of the thicko's that just shoot in portrait until someone explains it all to me. I have no idea what SQUARE sensors are. ? I'm on my first smart phone. Dave

I'll just delete the posts with the links as its obviously not working. Thanks for letting me know. Dave

i put it on the earlier post but copied here again just for you. VID not working - DELETED

That is an odd bass set up right enough. Dave

Yours sounded about the correct tempo. It was @Woodinblack i was talking about tempo being fast with his. Dave

Shared it to my own FB page see if it works now guys. Failing that i'll delete it completely. Dave

It is and i can't change it so i'm gonna delete it. Sorry guys. Dave

That speed brings back some fond memories. I liked it at that speed. Dave

Just had a wee look at the link and that's a great version he does. I think i'm pretty close to what he's doing altho playing down the neck a bit. Love the tone he has in that clip. Maybe i need a Ric bass Dave
