A different age 😕

Yep. Totally analogue performance from the band and a whole load of winging it from DLR. They were cooking...

I too was there! Don't remember seeing you though...lol 🤔🤣🤣 The bands I can remeber being on the bill were Accept, Y&T, Van Halen, Gary Moore, Ozzy Osbourne, AC/DC. Quite a line up.

Motley Crue opened it. You can clearly see me in the crowd  - I was the one with the long dark hair and a black leather biker jacket....

This just popped up on You Tube. (May get removed so be quick if you like Van Halen)

Great onstage angle of the band in their prime period including loads of Magic Mike Anthony and his great backing vocals. Stage invasions and just tons of swagger and energy and I was there ..

A bit of steam might do the trick 

How much did you pay? That's probably the biggest tell tale. The smart scammers just do them a couple of quid cheaper than RRP, the dumber ones do them for £20

I have 4...

A Mesa Big Block 750 is my main gigging amp. Love it.

Another Mesa Big Block 750. They're not easy to find so I grabbed it as a backup when one became available.

Orange 4 Stroke. Simple, huge clear rock wallop, great EQ and stoopidly loud if I need it. Obtained it in a swap for a GK 700RB that I wasn't ever using. Happy to gig it if I can't be bothered to cart the Mesa around.

Quilter BB800. The only Class D that stuck with me. Tiny and lives in my gig bag as emergency cover. Useful to have the headphone out and aux in as my main amps don't have those.

All through a pair of Barefaced Big Baby cabs that I've had for ages.

Chap - play something we know!

Singist - it works better if we play something we know!

Just buy them in bulk from the USA? Last time i did it 6 sets of Hi Beams came to $129 inc shipping. As long as you keep it below £130 (I seem to remember, check up on that amount) you don't need to pay import duty.

What make is that?

 

Ah - it's the same people that make the backdrop stand, in the link you posted earlier. 

I'm not so sure that it is.... the drummer sorted it out and i ordered the backdrop stand.....

Ours isn't a heavy vinyl one. It's a super light, fireproof blackout fabric. The drummer had it made - he's a bit particular about having decent kit and persuaded us to spring £300 on it. To be fair to him it was a good call. It packs up really small and is nice and light which means we don't need a heavy duty stand to hang it on.

You've put your drummer in a cage!

Safer for everyone 😁

Love the lighting bars. who makes them?

American DJ Sweeper Beam Quads 

We have one of these and extend the width by using a couple of tent poles bungeed along the top sticking out each side depending on the width we need. The flat feet are much better than the usual tripod ones as you can slide them under amps if required. You don't need to shift the drummer forward at all.

Bungee balls are on Amazon and the 4" ones are the right length.

It gives us this at its widest....

I have two black/black/maple Fender Precisions but one is US and the other is Mex. Does that count?

I reckon you're in. Visually its very close.

3 x Fender JMJ Mustang basses, all in black, all strung with Elixir steel rounds.

Why 3 rather than 2? A spare for your spare? Or do they all feel/play a bit different? Do you have a fave? But a perfect example none the less

Bargain of the day innit?

Yellowhouse had a good one last night. Large sized pub in Harlow and our first gig there. They have bands a couple of times a month and it's a typical sports bar/food place. Quite a difficult sound though - it was long and low with a wooden floor, no carpets and full length glass windows down the whole of one side. The bass and kick drum was just disappearing as soon as you stood 20 feet away out front. (On stage it was loads of fun though as the bass was properly cranked up to compensate - my eyeballs were shaking. New strings on a Warwick Corvette with EMG's, a Mesa BB750 pushing hard through a pair of Barefaced Big Baby cabs.)

We weren't sure if we may be a bit too rowdy/rocky for what we assumed would be a Sex On Fire/Mr Brightside crowd but had loads of people coming up after saying it was refreshing to see something a bit different from what they usually had there. Half a dozen regulars also went down the 'best band we've ever had here' convo which is always nice for the ego. Rebooks guaranteed for next year. Easy load in and excellent hospitality from the owners and security guys as well. We enjoyed ourselves. Oh, and i was back home in 20 minutes 🙂
