Another recent purchase from Mick, first class transaction as always. Thanks Mick.

My name is Al and I have hearing aids😁

Have a look at the guitar Alan (ACG Guitars) posted on his Affiliates thread.

I originally had Phonak hearing aids but now have ones from Specsavers, honestly the difference is minimal. The Phonak may have been a little better but it is minimal and the Specsavers link to my phone so thst I can adjust them according to the enviroment I am in. I have found a greater difference/upgrade in the type of bud I use, I prefer the open type as opposed to the tulip as they integrate with the natural sound coming into better and cause less of a blocked feeling. The above may make no sense at all but I am happy to offer any assistance to you I can. On a final note In general avoid AI as much as I can.

I only use the 'Book of Face' as a last resort unfortunately.

As pete.young says look at a uke bass either acoustic or solid body.

Played a local pub (to the drummer and myself)on Friday night, The Yew Tree in Norton Canes (South Staffs). We are, as they described, a light rock band doing 60's, 70's 80's and 90's covers. We got there around 6ish to set up but found that they were still serving meals and they use the stage area for bigger groups, so hung back 'till 7pm. This also gave the lead singer time to grab something to eat. We started at 8.45pm and although the place was not packed but was busy and the audience were appreciative. Started the second set just before 10pm getting a similar response but having people from the 'sports bar' in the back of the pub popping in to listen as well. Finished just before 11pm. Now we had cleared the tables from the stage when we set up and we put them back afterwards as they seemed a little short staffed. The punters had told the landlady that they had had a good time and were pleased to have been able to hear the music and still be able to hold a conversation with friends. She had also enjoyed what she heard and was over the moon with the response and comments from customers to the point that she recommended us, via an internal WhatsApp group, to the other 200+ pubs in the chain and said she will book us again. Sorry for the long post and sounding a bit euphoric but this is only our 4th gig as a band, The Context, and we acquired it via a 30min set at the Yew Tree open mike night in April. They booked us there and then.

Nice solution kiat👌

Purchased a set of short scale strings from Marc which were promptly shipped and received. Excellent communication as well. Thanks Marc.

We still use a paper diary held and controlled by one person, me. As with any other system electronic or paper it is not foolproof as my fellow band members have to relay the dates they are unavailble, but at least it is a hard copy for reference (or dispute). I am the contact for any bookings as well so have a certain amount of control on preceedings.

Nice looking strap Dave.

Nice knobs stewblack.
