    try playing and singing Driven To Tears. It took me a damn long time to do it and even now it's a challenge

    of course i think he's talented. He writes good songs and plays very complimentary bass parts. Love that bass too, sounds like my one

    I have a Gibson Les Paul AFD Slash guitar (amongst others). It comes with Dunlop strap locks as standard. I've never been a fan. It came off the strap several times but each time I was playing and so caught it before it hit the deck. But, one night (5 years ago) I strapped the guitar on, (I always gave the strap buttons a tug to make sure they were locked into place) I then bent over to pick something up and wham!! Les Paul face down on the deck. (A hard floor) Now I've been gigging for 30 years now (actually since 1981) and I've been really lucky with stuff like this. I looked to the sky and decided not to get upset. After all, it's a piece of wood and Gibson headstocks are easy to repair and I have a spare with me. I couldn't believe it, not only did it NOT break, it was still in tune. Dunlop strap locks = not very good

    you've done the right thing Paul. It doesn't matter how good the singing or the playing, if you're a tw@t no one will want to play with you. I still have issues with my band but the main issue (drummer) is gone now. I was so close to leaving too. Glad you have a new project to wave those Thunderbirds at

    it depends what you want. 850 has more grunt and is quicker and they did a CSI version. my 840 is a 4.4 V8. auto, fairly quick, sounds nice, drives great, looks fab!! my brother has a 1974 3.0 CSI
  15. police squad
    It's an 840 CI sport Individual. 1999. It's gorgeous. I like V8s

    NOW REDUCED TO £1050 with possible trade I've recently bought myself a classic BMW and it needs a little paintwork and wheels refurbished, so I'm thinking to let go my 2004 Thunderbird bass. I bought it from Nancy Johnson of this parrish and come witha a Babicz full contact bridge, dunlop straplocks and Gibson hard case. The bass is Ivory and as such shows some play wear, a few dings, typical Gibson nitro white finish. Since purchasing this bass, I've done a handful of gigs with it. It sounds fab but I can't stop playing my Fender Flea bass. The bass works perfectly, truss rod good, pots and pickups all good too. I only have one picture atm, taken at a gig. Any questions, please get in touch, Possible trades now, Sire 5 string Jazz + cash my way Here's a picture of the BMW in case you're interested lol [attachment=257396:bmw1.jpg]

    yes ineeed, welcome to you, I'm in Deal

    I'm sure I remembered something about jaco pulling the frets and using a tube of plastic wood to fill the gaps. (not sure and haven't googled it. I'm just going by memory) This was in 1990. I had bought a USA '62 reissue P bass and decided to do the same. Pulled the frets and filed with tube of stuff. Worked a treat
  19. police squad
    I paid 35 quid and sat in the 2nd row, in the middle, it was so close.
  20. police squad
    What a show. What a singer and my word, what a great band. The best gig I think I've ever been to.
  21. police squad
    This is a bargain. I've had mine from when they were first released and I've hardly played anything else since

    [quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1506940241' post='3382079'] if your only list of gigs is the website and you forgot to put it on there it's not entirely the drummers fault I would say, but, I don't know what's gone of before [/quote] Does he not have his own diary, like the rest of us? (I know he does, he told me that he is rubbish with his diary) I repeat, we don't have an online diary that is shared between us. We all have our own diaries. BUT, maybe we'll set one up for the future

    [quote name='Count Bassy' timestamp='1506728813' post='3380800'] The OP took the gig but didn't put it in the band on-line diary, thus defeating the object of the on-line diary. [/quote] As I keep saying, The band doesn't have an 'on line diary' It has a 'gigs' section on the website. This is for the public.

    [quote name='petebassist' timestamp='1506523169' post='3379329'] Tricky one, everybody messes up at some point. In my bands, the modus operandi is, if it's not in the diary, then it doesn't exist. Emails and texts are just noise and easily forgotten. Google shared calendars are great for polling band members & nailing dates, and I couldn't work without them. Providing the drummer has a professional attitude, I think I'd eat a bit of humble pie. Good luck! [/quote] But it WAS in the diary, that's my point. He should have put it in HIS diary, like it's in mine. It's how we all used to do it before. But frankly, I don't want him back, he's a PITA

    [quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1506520540' post='3379308'] Batting from the other side, i would question why the drummer never followed it up after it was first mentioned. We know know he is disorganised, but i also believe it was mentioned he is also an adult ;-) [/quote] it was not mentioned, it was confirmed. What part of ' hey guys, new gig, Railway Bell september 30th' is mentioning it. It was confirmed or I would have asked, 'are you all available etc etc
