I always feel a bit morbid, thinking about getting older. I've never once spoken about "Well, at my age..." or "I'm getting old.." But the simple fact is that we are normally surrounded by people of a similar age. We lose friends, family and heroes more frequently. We moved to France around 12 years ago to escape the roundabout of this 'living to work' etc. The pace of life has kept my heart rate down and helped with the arthritis..! I've been playing regular gigs all that time. The 'escape' of being with fellow musicians and making people happy enough to kick their shoes off and dance to something I was helping to create is the only drug I need. A few months ago another big change to our lives. We bought a live-aboard motor home to tour Europe and we're about to buy a house in the country. First time we've owned our house since leaving the UK. I'm 73 and friends have raised their eyebrows when we've told them what we're up to. Expected us to sit in front of the telly probably. I could talk about losing friends as well. The very thought of losing my wife scares the freaking hell out of me. How others cope, I just don't know. Life ain't a bloody rehearsal...

Song suggestions for trio of vocals, guitar and bass
The Saint replied to mikegatward's topic in General Discussion
All our stuff is now acoustic based and done at a slower tempo than the original. You know the sort of thing..! Songs that go down really well for us on a Sunday afternoon vibe... Heroes... DB Poison... AC Dancing in the Dark and I'm on Fire... BS Hymn to Her... Pretenders And surprisingly, a Creep/Air That I Breathe medley is very popular Avoid the album lyrics of Creep, especially on a Sunday.! -

Selling this pedal which is in immaculate condition, truly "as new".... Bought a few months ago on a whim from Andertons but I soon realised it wasn't for me. Neither unit has even touched the floor, always used on a table top. https://www.andertons.co.uk/digitech-trio-advanced-band-creator-and-looper-pedal/?search_query=trio%2B Complete with a Digitech foot pedal which is almost essential... https://www.andertons.co.uk/digitech-fs3x-footswitch-pedal/ Total price from Andertons is nearly £310. Collection from Hampshire preferred but can post at cost although I haven't a clue what that would be..! Sorry, no cables or power supply included but they are cheap as chips anywhere. Pics available if required, but they will look exactly the same as a new one...

As per the title really.. I bought this case new just a few months ago from the good people at Andertons https://www.andertons.co.uk/carry-case-for-yamaha-stagepas-200/ I left it too late to return it after I decided the amp wasnt for me, so it's now for sale. I can add pics if required, but it's in absolutely in mint condition, the wheels have never touched the floor... Possible delivery in Hampshire.

Oh, don't I know it...! We must have about 5 million of the little buggers hidden around the house...!

Just to clarify, her current board was made in the 50's and has a metal board, which we think is zinc or some sort of brass combination. Here it is....

Thanks for the suggestion, but she doesn't want glass. It's very different sound to the current one. A bit like choosing a Precision or a Jazz. You like what you like...!!

Yes, very similar although that one looks to be heavier judging by the rear view. It's the closest one I've seen recently, thank you...

Thanks Matt. We had looked at those, but just not what she wants.. Finding an original 50's or maybe 60's one is as rare as hen's teeth.
