  1. I knew Burke, but for a good while I had no idea of his significance or even that he was a bass player. He would often attend local jam nights and gigs and was always incredibly supportive. He is much missed.
  2. Lots of their nonsense in the eBay threads, my current favourite is https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185638233576
  3. 1983 Yamaki made Daion Mark X B. Very rare version and indeed there are no other recorded cases of this version. Pre amp was added by the original owner shortly after purchase in 1984 and is believed to be a Kent Armstrong. It's seen service as a gigging bass over the last 40 years and as such has some dings and marks. Plays extremely well and has a comfortable asymmetric neck. Would much prefer people try it out before buying but if you need it posting let me know. Edit: comes with original hard case!
  4. Soooo, it's a very effective visual performance then?
  5. Nice gig at the Eisteddfod in Tregaron. Big stage, great sound. Had to do some jazzy remixes of some tracks as it's Welsh language only on stage and our singer sings in Susu and Manding with only a couple of tunes in Welsh.
  6. Should drink more water then
  7. Me and the guitarist came up with Pschidyllic if anyone wants to start up a far out folk band
  8. I dunno, they must have been pretty dexterous to remove them all and get away with it
  9. 7. Agency arranged the wrong visa ( we should have been playing in Sardinia next week) 😭
  10. I was tempted to hold an interactive stage diving workshop
  11. Depped for a disco band at a wedding reception that was taking place in a mid sized music venue. Pros: Monitor engineer Biggest mirrorball anywhere Cons: Using PA and monitors designed for an 800 cap venue for a reception with around 70 guests (half of whom are outside chatting/smoking) is overkill and horribly loud. We were on a 4ft stage but with no barriers. 2 or 3 songs in a kid gets up on stage and starts dancing and before I know it parents are lifting their toddlers onto the stage and the laughing and filming while they run around the stage and mess around with the keyboards and drums. At the break I lost my stinky poo and informed the venue the no insurance will cover any accidents so they should inform guests to keep their kids under control or we won't be playing. Some weddings are nice. Some.
  12. Came on here specifically for some flatwounds - good timing! Will DM now.
  13. It's from the Arena tour, may be a few about on eBay etc. I thought there was a rule against wearing your own band merch?
  14. Love his Alusonic with the red strings - very cool!
  15. I don't know if they showed it on the telly footage but they did the same at the end too
  16. Burna Boy was great. Lots of amazing bassists playing all weekend, everyone seems to have gone gospel chops mad. Kojey Radical and Angelique Kidjo's bassists were especially good. Though I normally love Snarky Puppy they didn't seem to put much into their performance so I wandered off for an ice cream 4 tracks in.
  17. The whole weekend is about her, what more could she want? Good of you not to assume her/their gender though 🙂
  18. Did the perfect wedding, very cool crowd, played what we wanted (anyone done Casa Forte at a wedding before?), Loads of food and drink for the band, started at 6 and home by 9! If only they could all be like that 🙂
  19. Bought a Maruszczyck from Mark. Excellent communication, probably the safest packaging I've ever seen and a pain free purchase. Would recommend!
  20. Nice, I was only aware of the Sonia Rosa version which we play in one of my bands. https://youtu.be/9jcgalXuNa8
