I bet he isn’t… 😉

Point taken, but I am more concerned with how one motivates people whose main interest is another band. The fact they gig more than us, for instance - would more dates promote us up their practice list? Or are there other tricks ?

We have been navigating with difficulty after sacking our singer and losing our drummer. Our current five piece line up includes three people in at least one other band. It’s apparent that, in the two weeks since the last rehearsal, no-one has done any homework or practice, leading to a less fruitful three hot, sweaty hours today than hoped. My guitarist, with me the only permanent one-band member, is at his wits’ end. I am just concentrating on fulfilling gigs. The availability question will limit those, I accept, but that is of less concern than risking losing my most reliable band mate. My question - can a band thrive if most of its members have other, clearly more interesting/lucrative interests? If so, how do you manage/motivate them?

Jeremy Meek played his Precision for Live Wire back in the day. I really liked him. Here he is…

I assumed mine was/is 4. Still do. I think!

So is 4 the default Lozz? And what would the advantage be of a 12 - you could hook up more speakers to your amp?

I’d be interested to know as it’s the same with mine!

Long way for you to travel, sir. Hope it goes well.

Thats a miracle of Lazarus-like proportions Pete! God only knows how they did it…

So at half time are you un-Kemped? 😂 Good luck with the show!

Young blues hopeful (well not so young now!) Connor Selby and band in New Milton. Featuring @SonnyBass95 on a Lakland Skyline 44-51 via EBS valve head - most tasteful! Catch this lot if you can.

He also has a pre EB Ray on for the same price!!

That works, thanks! Been on for a month I see.

Can’t find this - any chance of a link?🙏

I once saw Dave Mattacks enter the stage, introduce himself to the other members of Lesley Duncan’s band (handing them his business card), sit down and play a flawless set. An absolute god among drummers!

You’ve been a bit of an inspiration to me, David, and I am glad you’re sticking around the forum. You even came to see me play once, for which I am grateful! All the best, and don’t forget to pass me all those dep gigs😂

My career has been a doughnut with a kids and family-shaped hole in the middle. So I feel like a car that’s been garaged… less miles on the clock than you’d guess by looking at me. Hopefully the end of the Road isn’t yet in sight. Though wIth the passing of @yorks5string and @bumnote I am running out of role models…

May 16th 2007. Doesn’t time fly… How many basses have I bought and sold on here - maybe 25? Made a lot of friends too, and learned a great deal. If I manage another 18 years I’ll be pushing 88🤫

Sold this gent a stand. No problems, smooth comms, recommend unreservedly!

Sold this Hammers fan a guitar stand. All very efficient and appreciated! Recommended Basschatter.
