I have a Hercules one in our practice room, which will shortly be demolished (the room not the holder!)

Yes, noticed this last night. If you're free Saturday we're playing in town John

Playing a 30 minute set with a few other bands also on the bill

Just learn all of Bloodsugar. Some great bass lines on there. Other favourites for me - Me and My Friends, Good time boys, Stone Cold Bush and if you're feeling brave Subway to Venus

Don't know if anyone made it along. Great Music festival, not one of our best gigs but was fun to do. Great weekend - gigs, beer, loads of good bands to listen to. We'll be doing it again next year hopefully Anyone fancy coming along to the Head of Steam Wednesday?

Interested - PM sent

Sneaky Pete's on Sunday cancelled Looking forward to Montrose

Probably easier for you to spot me. I'll be the one playing bass!! We're on 7pm. Looking forward to it.

Hello, We've got a couple of gigs in a week or so. 30th May - Busby's Montrose. Part of the Montrose Music Festival. Free entry with lots of other bands on [url="http://www.montrosemusicfestival.co.uk/"]http://www.montrosemusicfestival.co.uk/[/url] 31st May - Sneaky Pete's Edinburgh (this isn't actually 300ft Gorilla but we're all playing in The Rain King band as session players - should be fun) 3rd June - Head of Steam Newcastle. £4 with 3 other bands. It would be great if any of you want to come along. We particularly appreciate it if we could fill the Head of Steam. I'm sure many of you know our guitarist Paul Hindmarsh from his Sound Control days If you want to check us out [url="http://www.300ftgorilla.com"]http://www.300ftgorilla.com[/url] [url="http://www.myspace.com/300ftgorilla"]http://www.myspace.com/300ftgorilla[/url]

Kenny Potter???? Now there's a name from the past. He gave me 4 bass lessons when I was at school - that must be 20 years ago. I stopped going as my parents stopped providing bass lesson money and told me to get a job!! Self taught since then!

Due to the change in currency rates RRP on a Warwick Infinity 5 the same as mine is £4800!!!!! I only paid £1100 for it though (second hand)

Sorry I didn't make it (again) guys. Looks like a good day and a great turn out. I ended up spending the morning fleeing round the Yorkshire Dales in fast cars, expected to be back in time, but it just didn't happen

Hopefully be there at some point. Might be practicing on Saturday. Won't have cab but should have a bass and head

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='389085' date='Jan 22 2009, 10:27 PM']I know his brother... should I ask if Gordon wants to come out to play? [/quote] He once switched us off - mid-set - in his bar, so maybe not "Err lads make sure this is your last song eh?" Then we carried on - click

Sounds like I'd better come as well. Haven't seen Dave or Mick B for ages. Will bring Thunderfunk 550A Infinty NT5 Thumb NT5 Maybe a Trace 4x10 if I can be arsed - but maybe not!! That should keep the Warwick haters happy

Feb is busy for me, so I can't commit to anything. But in principle 1)yes 2) Don't care 3) yes
