Might try and get down Sat 12th too, gonna be mid afternoon tho.

Bass chat mini meet?

Ha!

Damn that is a good price, paid double that for mine last year
It was new though *shrug*

And WAAAAAY up the dusty end too! Did the guitarist give you permission?

Geoff Downes? or Oliver Wakeman? I'm sure the ad on Planet Rock mentioned Oliver. Personally I thought it was Mr Downes.

Drummer asked us the other day if we could do a Trapeze song....'You are the Music, we're just the band'.....erm never heard of it..ok Its Glenn Hughes old band, but the song??? When I finally managed to get a copy of it...a bit to funky for this ole blues rock combo methinks.

Wow, Celebrate...GOOD choice, forgot about this one.

I normally make do with a slide into key then GROOVE baby!

Slow blues..oh yes..

Gary Moore..Midnight Blues

Dark, smokey, soulful.......1st time we performed this was the day he died, very special to me.

Another shout for Slade Alive...That one REALLY opened my eyes as a youth,

Bursting Out and Seconds Out were also faves of mine, In fact the Tull is still on my iPod!

Wow talk about falling on your feet, what a great genre to be covering! Gratz, glad its working out

I have one my desk at work, red P with I think a white pickguard, will get a pic tomorra! Odd really as I play a Jazz, but it was a prezzie

Certainly have noticed a difference in the last year of so I have been playing with current band, audience numbers in general are dropping, certain pubs we used to play have stopped holding live music nights, just a sign of the times I guess.

Once about 3 years ago, open air gig so I may have been digging too deep I guess, E string just at the nut at beginning of Vertigo, managed to finish song and change string before singer had finished announcing a short break while dopey bassist sort hisself out...me holding up my bass ready to go as he was saying it got a cheer from the crowd

Ay caramba! that poor nut! You got some work do there there methinks......good luck

Thats kinda my neck of the woods..will scout out local cash converters etc.

Good man yerself....NOW the real work starts!

Aww maan, meant to travel down a coupla times recently, never had enough time, Sad to hear you guys are calling it a day.Good luck for the future!

Nope you dont have to string through the body.

Result! WIll be making a list of serial numbers and pics when I get home...just in case!

Eden RS400 head and Eden 410xst cab. Had the head about 5 years now, and upgraded my cab from a Laney 410 earlier this year. Still have the Laney, nothing wrong with it, like the sound, the Eden just gives...more. Can't see me changing anytime soon, might get a class D head as a backup if the gig situation gets intense enough, as long as its small and light I'm not bothered what it is.

Overall? yeah I'm happy.

Cheesy yes,and ultimately...boring, not my cup o' tea at all, reminded me of 2 guitarists I know trying to outdoor each other on stage at a benefit show, very embarrasing.

Tippex pen, dead cheap, easy to find and it flouresces too, use it on my Cirrus 5, works a treat

Recent gig we played, acoustics of the room were such that most of the sound got bounced back to the band, during sound check I went to far end of room(wireless) and could hardly hear anything, really weird, we had to play so loud it was painful, just so the landlord could hear at the bar....he kept saying 'turn up' too! Glad I had my earplugs with me!

Bought mine from Maplins...not had any cause to complain yet........
