Excellent news. Wasn't sure you would stay with Ashdown. I guess all amp manufacturers get failed amps thru their lifetime. Good news tho. Dave

Looking forward to seeing the end result on this one. Dave

Yes i agree it doesn't make much sense. I have a gig end of this month with the punk band in a hotel starts around 8:30 till 11 ish and usually when we arrive they are still serving food from the afternoon. Once we start to set up some people start to leave and once the punk music starts we rely on dedicated fans of punk to maintain the audience. Oddly enough we have a few people travel approx 4hrs drive to see us and they stay overnight then head home in the morning. Dave

What do you think of the Sire ? They seem to get great reviews plus a mate has one now and he loves it. Dave

Cracking wee Tech 21 VT bass amp for sale on BC at £325 that looks nice. Think it just appeared this morning. What's the bass you are using ? A Sire maybe ? Dave

I've driven past it on main road from Inverness to Fraserburgh to see the lighthouse on holiday at time. I really need to visit some of those smaller villages / Towns along that coast. Dave

Its not easy motivating yourself to play when the audience just isn't there. You can look at it as a paid rehearsal which is what we do. Its a difficult one tho if it has a 2hr drive each way. Where was the venue ? Dave

Love playing SLF songs with the punk band. Some great basslines. We currently do At The Edge and Alternative Ulster and looking to add Gotta Getaway and Nobody's Hero. All songs i'd never heard before joining the punk covers band. I was never into punk back in its hey day but recognise most of the songs we do. Amazing how good some of the songs are and how much i really enjoy playing them. Some of those basslines thrown together one after the other can be quite a challenge for a fingerstyle player like myself but all good fun. Dave

The secret is to get there early before another band gets there LOL Bad news but it happens. Dave

That's not good or very nice. 2 things :- Why was it cancelled ? Why weren't you told earlier ? Dave

I just don't know how you can remember all those songs. ? Dave

Sounding good there, plus you have dancers, that's always a bonus. 👍 Dave

The link to FB doesn't work. No content unless its on someone's private feed. Dave

Your close up was taken from FOH ? ......... He's good. You need to work him more, he's new so wont know any better what his full job description is yet. Maybe some vids too from FOH as the sound quality at the desk is usually the best place for it. Dave

Some great pics there Pete. Dave

Great pics Dave
