I have a Flea signature jazz bass. It has the USA '64 pickups. Awesome

Have to applaud David Martin in goal. I've never seen a player virtually in tears over winning a game. Let's get rid of Roberto. He's an absolute liability. Even Alan Mcknightmare was better

If it's a pub gig, in a pub, usual load-in, start and stop times, then it's a pub gig. Pub gig money. I always think if there's a party in there, more people will see the band that probably wouldn't have bothered. I've even done private functions for pub gig money. I tell them, 'if I can treat it like a pub gig, arrive at 7.30, start at 9 finish by 11.30, then I'll do it for pub gig money.

Bravewood. I've had it 7 years now

you have made a brave decision (and IMO the correct decision) Mental health is overlooked by many people. I'm 51 and this year will have completed only 42 gigs. This is my lowest amount in 30 years of gigging. It leaves me much less knackered, stress free and mentally in a much better place Enjoy your break Lozz, you owe it to yourself

no, a sort of burnt orangey reddy colour

takes me right back to my first AH150 Mk5 I think. 1988 then I had the AH300. It looked fab all lit up. now I have a BLX-80

no place in your band for me then 🍻🍺🥂😋

Good to see Martin from the bass centre contributing to this thread. I went there in 1991. I had been to Fat Ricks to look at a Hamer Thunderbird that had been owned (wrecked) by the Quireboys. It was £450. It was all I had. The bass was rubbish so I went off to Wapping. Tried loads of basses and found a s/h Status 4000 in a sort of burnt orange at £595. I explained to Martin I only had £450 and the only thing in the shop I liked was the status. He let me have it for £450. I was stoked. Thanks Martin

I use QSC K12s and 2 x KSUB for my band gigs. Sounds awesome with my Allen & Heath ZedFX desk. We play outside, on a square in Deal, once a year. The gear sounds balanced and full. People always compliment on the sound (I have a KSUB for sale in the forsale section)

I have a PA sub for sale at £550. I got an offer of £200 because all 2nd hand speakers are past their best. I told him he best not buy it then. He said no one will. Be prepared for dickheads too. Always post good pictures and indicate any faults/ damage. The other thing is courier. If you can arrange a courier, you will probably get a better price. I'm not sure about insuance with couriers as they are all different
