2 gigs in one weekend is a struggle for me never mind 2 in one day. WOW. Dave
-
Worth every penny IMHO. Dave

Yep i'm good with that Rob. I get a lot of enjoyment from your website. I also feel that i learn a lot and therefore improve my reading ability and "i think" a better player. Sent an initial small donation Rob. If you let me know its been received and all ok i'll increase the amount. Hope that's ok Dave

Congrats on 550 tracks Rob. Amazing achievement and many many thanks for the ones i've downloaded and for helping me become a better player. Cheers Dave
-
That bass just sounds amazing. Great band too. Dave

I tried various comps over the years but settled on the Keeley Bassist as i like simple. Less is best for me. Only 3 knobs and 2 of them are left in same position every gig and the middle one i tweak for different basses. The Keeley is the only one i've tried that didn't colour the bass tone when on. I quite liked the comp on the Ampeg SVT7 which was literally one knob - the ultimate simples. It did work quite well. Dave

Well deserved. I've just listened to the JB song you did there and it didn't sound too bad but i'm now gonna have a look at the transcription you've done and i'll be proved wrong. Dave Edit :- yep there are some very fast wee sections in there Rob. Once again i'm impressed. Dave
-
Yep i only use my comp as more a limiter than compression. It only just triggers when i hit the strings slightly harder or i add a bit more treble or bass on the actual bass. On normal playing with bass EQ running flat the led never triggers. Dave
-
I've never actually been in it but played a few other venues in that area but it does pull in a decent audience with several well known acts playing there over the years. Dave
-
If i had known i would have taken a run in to see you guys. Dave
-
Oh yes that is nice indeed. Dave
-
100% appreciated. I look forward to the new ones you post. Such a varied list on the website too. Its an amazing collection. Dave
-
Liking that bass altho not sold on the scratch plate but i'm guessing it fits the music you play. Pretty good pics there too. Dave

I'm addicted to TV even tho i'm not particularly watching it i still have it on. I keep promising myself to switch it off. As you say most of it is s*** anyways and maybe just read more. I have books i bought years ago that i've still not read yet. I used to only read on holiday and i thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm also into model railways so that takes up more of my time these days.

HOW hard is it to find a decent band to play in these days?

Superb stuff and wish you all the very best with this new project. Dave -
WOW Rob you seem to be working 24hrs a day on these. Take a break and go have a wee coffee. Dave
-
Great venue apart from the 3 flights of stairs. I'm due back in the summer with Glam band and might just use their backline to save a bit of lifting. It does have an amazing musical history based on the various posters on the walls. Dave
-
Love the band name. 👍 Dave
-
WOW that is so good. Gotta have a go at that altho i only have my 6 string fretless these days so that might be a bit of a struggle. When i hear John playing i just want to get another 4 string fretless. Superb playing. Many thanks for this one Rob. Dave
-
Recently bought Fish first solo album Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors and State of Mind with John Giblin on bass might be a nice wee line to learn. Dave
-
That's a very colourful and eye-catching bass. Dave
-
What bass rig were you using Johno. ? Dave
-
Ooohh that looks so good, Its a lot deeper than i expected but those high runs sounding so clear and deep. Prefer that to a WAL bass. Not sure why i thought it would sound WAL - ish but i have to admit i'm preferring that. Nice sounding band Jonathon. Liking that a lot. That even sounds slightly fretless at the end. I've now got GAS for one you rotten sod I'm def jealous but its been well worth the work involved. Dave
-
Yep no problem Rob. Dave

Sound of Contact is Phil Collins son Simon on drums and lead vocals and he's good. Arjen Lucassen has his own project band called Ayreon but its not really my taste but Lost in New Real is a concept album with 50% his own songs and 50% as covers by Floyd, Hawkwind and various other bands with his own unique take on it. Rutger Hauer did the narration on the album but i won't tell you anymore. I really like the lyrics on some of his songs. Dave
