Price is for the two together, but would consider splitting. Both have covers.

Priority to those who can collect.

Keith always looked after his gear, so be assured they are in excellent condition.
 

Thanks for looking!

Postscript to above post-but-one: Robert and Keith, our singer, we’re on a college course with a certain John Deacon - two of the three feature in this…

Benefit for Amnesty international in Bournemouth with the Otis Jay Blues Band. Flea through Barefaced One10 and Elf.

We had a dep drummer and guitarist - the mighty Robert Ahwai, who played for 30 years with Chris Rea and replaced Jeff Beck in the Jeff Beck Group (Hummingbird). He had been at college with our singer 50 years ago and, though they’d lost contact since, came down to do the gig gratis - good bloke and a fine player.

Turned out our drummer had seen Rob playing at Ronnie Scott’s in the 70s with Gonzales … small world!

Should really be renamed "Overdubbed & Marginally Perilous" as only a small proportion of that admittedly brilliant album is actually live.

I believed that until I heard the recordings on the box set. I have revised my opinion…

Man: Back Into the Future, Live at the Paget Rooms Penarth, Maximum Darkness, 1999 Party Tour, Star Club, Live Glastonbury 1994.

I could go on😂

This belonged to the late @yorks5stringer and is being sold on behalf of his family.

I will add details as I find them. It includes the case pictured, as well as the newer gig bag.

Keith: There's a bit of a story to that. I bought it with 2 humbuckers installed (and a load

of other player mods that were non- standard) as you can see below. I returned it to stock but as it had had a big hole routed out in front of the bridge for the pickup, it was filled with wood, and primed. I then did a light couple of coats of aged vintage white nitro which was a bit more yellow than the original white ( which was also nitro so must have been a respray too.)

Found this which shows the original condition.

Played at the big tribute festy on Saturday. We were on first in the afternoon, but there was a good appreciative crowd. Still kicking myself misreading the set list and launching into the wrong song on the second number. Should have been playing on Bb instead of F# so really didn't fit

That’s jazz!😂

What was the verdict?

Like Morecambe and Wise… I knew all the jokes but not necessarily in the right order! 😂

New hardback biography of the late great Gary Moore.

With 464 pages and illustrated, this is the last word on the legend. Author Power has written about Beck and Page, among others, and has not only researched well but keeps the story bubbling - White Knuckles pulls no punches!
 

Not in bookshops till next week. Retails at £25, yours for only £12 plus postage. Be quick!

Selling this on behalf of @yorks5stringer’s family. If you are reading, you’ll know what this is.

Priced to sell, no offers or trades please. Willing to consider sending.

Extras inc gigbag, strap, spare strings, lead etc included. 

ONE AND ONLY PRICEDROP TO £695.

Needless to say, in excellent condition. More pics have been added.

Which channel?

BBC1, 2340

I shall be watching… unbelievably for the first time!

Anyone else a Tap ‘virgin’?!😁

Who are you calling elephant ears!?😁

Played a mini pub festival in Barton on Sea, Hampshire. Country-themed, hence the hay bales, but we blagged ourselves in as blues/Americana.

Forgot my Stetson but went walkabout with my wireless so it would probably have blown/fallen off! Elf and two Barefaced One10s more than adequate… I bring the second out once a year!

It’s possibly the only time I have ever had a view of the Isle of Wight from the stage. (Pic taken while setting up). What could be better?

Oh, and our dep drummer breezed it. Happy days!

Still on a bit of a post-gig wind-down so thought I'd do this now.

 

Second gig for Dirty Roses - we've been rehearsing for a few months and have finally emerged.

 

Between the first and second gigs, at the same pub, I've replaced the RCF 710A Mk2s with Alto TS408s. Smaller and lighter, and I've got to load and unload the buggers so that's the way I want them.

 

The gig went well, from an audience and gaffer POV (plenty of singalong and dancers). There were definitely scrappy bits which need to be sorted. I don't think there will be a problem saying to the others that x and y need sorting, everyone is amenable to criticism. It's a question of whether x and y will actually get sorted.

 

Mrs Zero was out front and the new speakers got the thumbs up from her. She's also written notes about what we need to sort out. I hope that her 64GB phone gave her adequate room for that. The gaffer was also impressed with the sound, so the all-Alto system (2x TS408 FOH, 2x TS308 monitors) is looking good, along with the Behringer X-Air XR12 that runs it..

 

Next gig is next weekend. Confidence is increasing.

 

Oh, I should also mention (I may have also done so if I wrote up our first gig in this thread) that the rest of the band were brilliant in bringing stuff in and out from the car. The load in for me consisted of two journeys from car to "stage", the load out was just one journey. Replacing the not-terribly-big RCFs with the tiny Altos has helped there.

Are you a Stone Roses or Guns n’Roses tribute?

I have to say there are some pretty weird Proms this year. Why?! Just why?

Good choices, Pete.
 

As it happens, I was at a wedding yesterday where the Springsteen song lyrics was a major part of the bride’s father’s speech!

God Only Knows always brings a lump to my throat as I recall playing it live a few weeks before my first wife died. Lyrics with such depth… 

Wonderful basses! GLWTS

Cheers Mick.  The band has always been my priority, although in fairness due to

finances as much as loyalty!

 

You play with a smile on your face. That is a good look, one I strive to emulate!

We were in Glasgow last night, one of my favourite cities and also one of my favourite venues,

The King’s Theatre. Opened in 1904, it seats nearly 1800 on four levels, and we had over 1300 

in so felt great and full of atmosphere. Crowd were well up for it from the first song, and the 

onstage sound was loud due to having a PA stack next to me! A really enjoyable gig, my last

one for 2 weeks though - due to a family thing I’m unable to play at a festival gig next week,

so I have put a dep in (first time ever in over 12 years!). Back with the band at Buxton Opera

House on September 2nd, another superb old venue. 
 

(Also had a dep cellist with us last night, Isla from Glasgow who did a great job despite

never having heard of ELO!).
 

 

First dep in 12 years deserves a tip of the hat!👏

Bloody good, these!
