this one's today! woohoo! then we're off back into our shed to write some new songs until the Shakespeare's show on 1st November

well, we started a tad late (only 15 mins though so that's a minor miracle) and it was awesome! there were folks dancing and swinging their pints, crowding the steps into the tiny dancing area and dancing in the beer garden, all at half 11 on a friday night and to original music that none of them knew but they were still singing along! what a stonking gig that was!!!

oo this is today! we're on at 11 and there are loads of other acts on too (we may end up starting a tad late as is the norm )

But which one? Which range? Which preamp? How many strings? What colour?

Hello from Sheffield

I can see enough of the end of the head without taking anything off mine to be able to get a screwdriver onto it and not leave a mark on the scratchplate on my '78 fretless but on my '78 fretted I can't ...although some helpful soul has historically done a bit of routing to allow a channel to the screw head...?

well, that was eventful to say the least! we were added to the bill somewhat last minute to make up the numbers as a favour to the promoter and upon arrival...BOTH the other bands had jibbed! cancelled! welched!! 'lil feckers!! So there we were at the venue with the soundman (who was VERY pleased to see us!) but with no drums as one of the other bands was to have provided them, no-one else on the bill for the evening...and no-one in the bar AT ALL (apart form the bar staff). did we pull the whole thing? did we chuff! Our drummer (normally has his drums in the car but took them out this time!) set off home to fetch his drums (a 45 min drive each way!) while we set about ringing round anyone we knew who had an acoustic guitar and could do a 30min set to start the evening off...after a good few messages and phone calls we managed to drag a good friend away from a family meal to come and open up for us - job one ticked off! We then texted everyone we knew to get them to come down to an intimate evening with the Fargo Railroad Co and ended up with a good few in there which pleased the bar staff no end! I've started taking a pic of the crowd during one of the songs that has a long gap before the rest of the band come in (it's called The Well and it's on our soundcloud), very atmospheric civil war epic type thing with a killer phaser part on the guitar Compared to an empty bar this is a huge improvement and they were all listening which is awesome! slightly gratuitous set-list on '78 p-bass pic ...in short we saved the evening, hauled the promoter's ass out of the fire (he wasn't allowed to be there due to being barred from the bar, not a clue what he'd done!) and the bar's manager was well into both the music and our bar filling abilities so he took a couple of fliers! We also had another local promoter there with us for the evening (one we want to impress as he does nicer shows!) and despite the fubar start to the evening he hung around until the end with us and had a good time, complimenting us on our set an dlooking forward to our show for him in November so all ended way better than it started!!
