I've heard of it thru our very own @Steve Browning who i think has played there in recent years. Dave

One of the worst i saw was a really intricate and nice bass line but the camera went to the guitarist who was lightly strumming a chord. Can't remember who the band was tho. Dave

Think that's a wise choice and so good that you are now pain free. That has to be worth it. You can always stay on BC and enjoy the bass geekery. Dave

Possibly my fav rig of all time, just a bit old and heavy these days but it sounds so good. Depending on how i feel will decide what bass i use but usually its my Geddy Jazz or Godin PJ with occasional Warwick Thumb when i fancy something special. Dave

whereabouts in Scotland are you Pete ? Dave

ACS Pro 17's for me too. So good i even bought my wife the same as she attends all my gigs and is usually sat in front or near the PA. Dave

Oh you are awful !!! Dave

Farmfoods 8 for same price as 3 in Tesco. Cannae beat a Magnum bargain. Dave

Wah pedal i think ? Dave

Brilliant album Rob. Dave

Asked to audition for a Magnum tribute band next weekend but i'm not 100% sure it will get enough gigs. Will have a think about it over this weekend and take it from there. I kinda had in in mind i was gonna just retire but hey ho. Dave

Recognise the bass Michael but whats the rig you have behind you. ? Sounding good. Dave

I'm just a youngster in comparison. 64 until March. Dave

See what you mean with the smoke machine there Look on the bright side it was very atmospheric and kinda suited the music. Well done after 2.5 rehearsals. Dave

So sorry to hear this. Not a good week for you by any means but hopefully in 6mths you'll be back gigging again. Take care and keep us posted on how things are going for you. Dave

You take care sir. Dave

I'm actually quite touched that quite a few have commented on enjoying my gig posts. That means a lot to me. Loved the "travelogue" comment. I'll always be on BC. Its my 2nd home even before Faceache. Dave

All on good terms and i have offered to cover all gigs to the end of the year if need be. I'm sure there are better players out there but i very much appreciate your comments. Dave

Cheers Pete, the platforms never really bothered me after first few gigs with them but that wig didn't half cause you to quickly overheat especially in the summer gigs. Won't miss that bit at all. Dave

I did but its with 2 of the members from the Glam band so it would feel a little awkward for me so thought best just to walk away from gigging until i see if i want to get back into it. Dave

It'll be odd not putting in my gig posts altho i do rabbit on a bit when i do them Dave

That's kind of where i am. 65 next month and don't really fancy starting a new band having to learn and practice all the new songs again. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and getting others to that level takes a lot of time and effort. Dave

After 7 yrs with the Glam covers band i've decided its time to call it a day. Few decisions in the band i wasn't entirely happy with and after losing sleep worrying about it i thought best to step aside and let someone else take over. Its always been a hobby for me and have always said when it becomes more like a job its time to walk away. I've offered to cover any gigs up to the end of 2025 or a replacement is up and running. Whichever comes first. Shame as i did enjoy playing in the band but that's life and it will allow me to spend more time on other hobbies. On one hand i'm kind of relieved and on the other hand i'll miss the good fun we had at gigs. Not sure yet but don't think i'll be looking for another band to join. I'll still be following everyone on BC tho and might be selling off some of the gear i've collected over past few yrs. Dave

Only just caught this. So sorry to hear it. Thoughts are with his family and friends. Dave

I guess i'm in the minority not using Spotify. No particular reason other than i prefer to have a CD than a download. Dave
