Look at that sunny weather you lucky sod Daryl. We're getting 6 oC (43 oF) and the central heating is now on most of the day. Hottest its reached was about 14 oC. (57 oF)
Looks like a very interesting gig tho.

Just noticed thats the original EMG preamp encapsulated module. Very nice indeed and far better sounding than the MEC preamp from later models.
The sticker label on the bridge pick up looks like it says a Stage 1 Streamer pick up. I believe the streamer and Thumb basses had the same pick ups.
Mine is the 89 model with EMG's but doesn't have the sticker label.
WOW someone really needs to buy this as its one heck off a bass to play with one of the best necks i've ever played.
Dave
Its great when a good gig let alone two just give you that lift you needed. I do love a gig that just comes together and works. The energy is there, the feel is there and the audience seem to pick up on it and go with it.
Nice one. 👌
Dave
Sorry to ask a daft question but my reading knowledge is quite basic and only used at home when learning songs but how does the Capo 2 or 4 affect the bass. ? I don't use a capo so my understanding of them is about zero. I only use it to set up basses. 👍
Guitarists i've played with have used them but i thought it was just to save them barring a chord. ?

Was listening to Mockingbird by Barclay James Harvest from the Live Tapes album in the car the other day and thought that was an excellent bassline thru it. Just if you're looking for other suggestions Rob.
Didn't see it on your website.

All the way to Boston for a dep gig. I applaud your commitment. 😜
All credit and respect to you for stepping in like that. Its not an easy thing to do.

5 week gap for us at moment. Singer is off on hols for 3 weeks renewing his vows. We gig the day after he returns so that'll be a fun night.
Still it lets me enjoy all your gig reports at an nice easy pace. 😂

Had the lurgy few weeks back and it left me with a bit of a cough that is slowly going away but a bad cold does that to me these days. If i hadn't tested for it i would have sworn it was covid.
Rest of the band caught it 2 weeks later with no contact from me in those 2 weeks.
Seems to be doing the rounds again.
