yep, @warwickhunt has messaged me about that too I'll hang on for a bit

For me, I'm really digging the warwick buzzard headstock Seen here on my reverso

In my 80s duo, no. If I break a string I can normally change it during the next song I just pick a song with no guitar In my 80s band, always have a spare. Exactly the same. All Brian May guitars, modded the same

I thought it looked ridiculous when I first saw one. Never thought Id play in a U2 tribute. It's all fallen into my lap. The bass was only a 2 hour drive away

Yes it was a cracking price I think. Im pleased it came up when it did as I still havent built the sparkly gold p bass

Very droll Terrance🤣

As some of you may remember I have joined a U2 tribute band A big shout out to @AndyTravis and @warwickhunt for the heads-up It's immaculate and plays and sounds good. Very precision like

my '73 P bass, mine since 1990 and my QSC PA system , 2 x K12 and 2 X Ksub. owned for over 10 years now

Thanks to @warwickhunt and @AndyTravis Warwick Reverso incoming

sounds like 'Pete' is a complete tool. It's such a shame when people behave like this

what I mean is, when it's it's my desk. My keys player usually does the sound but if it is me, I do go out front and listen, then I monitor thru my IEM. It usually works a treat. I recently noticed a lack of guitar at a gig (there were 3 of them). Had I not had my IEM I wouldn't have noticed because they all had amps on stage. When he did a solo I couldnt hear him at all. Needed a new mic lead

I agree with this. My bass playing is much better with IEM Also I try to get the FOH sound in my ears (when I'm doing the sound, I just use the headphone socket on the desk) I cant always get that if someone else is doing the whole PA, so i try and get as balanced a sound as I can

best thing I've ever done. I followed the advice on the bible. KZ ZS10 and KZ ZARs. I cant tell which I prefer. Luckily all my bands use IEM now so it's super easy I won't play without them now, even on a dep gig

I have a northwest neck on a bitsa, its very good, I also have a cheap chinese fretless neck that's good and a fretted one that looks ok but I havent fitted it yet

great gig yesterday. Played 2 x 50 minute sets then 1 x 70 min Home by 7.15, awesome happy new year everyone

This happened to the full band version of my 80s duo. With the drummer, at least half of the set was totally live and a few songs have so much backing vocals, we did cheat and use a very stripped down backing track. Then the drummer didn't want to do pub gigs any more, so we just added the drums to the already used tracks and downloaded the drum bits for the other songs. It's all 80s stuff and we dont miss the drummer at all (and we get more money each, set up, pack down all easier too) we're all used to BT so it doesnt cause any grief

I used to play with the Victory/Cornford amp designer. He always told me off for tying my leads in a knot I coil them now, like he did, with the velcro tag to hold them together It stops my mic leads dying so soon

my 80s duo is called Miami Vice. Top 80s cop show but some people still ask what kind of stuff do we play. 'Just 80s' i tell them

playing my favourite pub gig NYE. 3pm till 6pm. Duo 80s gig It will be an absolute hoot, it always is in there and I've not seen them since March I'll be home by 7

merry christmas to you all, here's to 2025 I'll see you in the bar somewhere

I work in a family engineering business. 30 years ago our top cnc machinist announced he was leaving. Oh no, what will we do without Dereck, he's sort of irreplaceable. Now up steps my brother with a degree in Mechanical engineering, (who was pretty good on the lathes side of things) he went and did some serious reading about milling and cnc milling The upshot, we realised that no one is irreplaceable and actuallly Dereck wasn't that good. So, from a playing perspective, there is always someone that could do it and do it well if you're the BL then that's a whole new game

roll on 2025

I used a hartke transporter 4x10 for many years. It sounded good

statii forum seems to be back now

My first bass hero. Watching the TV show Marc. A jazz bass should have dual concentric pots because of Herbie's that was a good watch, thank you Ruby
