[quote name='blue' timestamp='1442712480' post='2868959'] From what I have read there are business and cultural differences between our 4 hour bar gigs and your 2 hour pub gigs. Culturally it's the hours,over here 4 hours is all we know and we think nothing of it. It seems like playing 4 hours doesn't fit the traditional pub business model. Playing 4 hours is not a big deal. Blue [/quote]there's no way I would be in a band if I had to do 4 hour gigs.. Respect to you sir.

Good luck Machines, that was the right choice .

I have some spare washers Geoff but not gold,(chrome) not much help is it?

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1452682903' post='2952286'] Yep, me too. Currently looking at three Barefaced Retro 210s to replace my two Barefaced Super12Ts, so researching like crazy. [/quote]be selling the latter 2 will you lozz ?

I love playing bass but can't be arsed with bands even tho I'm in two of 'em, why do I do it then? I dunno??

Oh yes proper bargain, I also had one and a mm stingray, I could hardly tell them apart, I paid £600 for my ray34

[quote name='Wonky2' timestamp='1451940193' post='2944892'] Once had a guitarist turn up for an audition, it was at the time of grunge bands...... In he came, jumper 3 sizes too big, holes in his jeans, looked like he hadn't slept....ever...... All was going well with Kevin until Half way into first number. without any warning, he suddenly explodes from his staring at the floor staggering round like a drunk approach and he launches his strat across the room ! A good 6 feet into the air ! we all watched in slow motion horror as it crashed down onto the hard vynal tiled floor of the local community centre, the head stock snapping clean off !!! A mangled mess off strings and splinters ! Kevin didn't have another guitar and chose to mope off out the door into the night..... Never to be seen again [/quote]similar to a bongo player we auditioned once, one minute he's standing in front of his 2 bongo's knocking out a decent bit of percussion, all of a sudden he's got one bongo up under his arm dancing round like a red Indian doing the rain dance??

Oo dear..

He looked the part though.

lol Creme's voice on Donna, fantastic..

Last time we played there we all got into the car park.. (5 cars) as you have to arrive early for sound check, although the sound man had done a runner so we had to use our own P.A, they now have a new sound man I believe.

The strap and strap locks were worth more than £20 I bet

Done

[quote name='Roger2611' timestamp='1447782085' post='2910352'] I don't get nervous these days but I do tend to be grumpy the afternoon of a gig.....see that question wasn't in there was it! [/quote]thats weird , I get grumpy also, the missus says " I can tell you've got a gig".

[quote name='artisan' timestamp='1447454276' post='2907854'] Excellent band all round. I've no idea who the bass player is but he's a bloody good player. As you where Faces era, the late Ronnie Lane [/quote]

I thought I'd give it a quick listen, I listened to all of it... Twice.. We'll done mate

I buy a bass from Lee now and then being a fellow lefty, I have to have the nut and bridge saddles reversed every time, he done a tour or 2 with Rick Wakeman also.
