I absolutely love my Squier Pro-Tone V. 2-pup Precision-ish loveliness.

Sounds like something of a niche-market to me 🤫

Aaaah, oversight on my part. Sorry if I got your hopes up there HappyJack. I just googled Joe Walsh Tour, landed on that website and neglected to read the small print. As you were......

Thanks for all those tips guys. Loads to dive into. I’ve just looked at his website and he’s on tour in the UK in June and July of next year. https://www.joewalsh.com/news/297841

I have always been aware of Joe Walsh and known that he'd done some great music, but have never really listened to any of it. I just stumbled over this excerpt of him from "Live at Daryl's House" and it kept me listening. All that is great about some of the music made in the sixties and seventies. I hope you enjoy it too.

Isn‘t that originally with a pick? Which, if it is, would make it even trickier (for me at least).

I’ve still got one of these (although I never use it) and to be honest they sound a bit thin and twangy. The effects aren’t exactly thrilling either.

Good advice there from Shaggy. Just to re-emphasize his mention of the active circuit, John East stuff is highly recommendable.

Ohhhhh! And these undies were just fresh on ‘n all.

I’ve used GarageBand as a practice/play along, so not quite as you’re intending to it, and find the small phone-format a bit faffy. For your purposes i.e. a quick rehearsal recording VoiceMemo should be adequate.

I think I was at that gig. Did Philip Bailey do his hit at the time “Walking on the Chinese Wall”? And was James Earl “playing bass” for Stanley Clarke?

I saw a disco/funk band in the 80s in Liverpool. The dance floor was empty so the singer shouts out, “Come on folks let’s see you all up on the dance floor!”. So, one guy gets up and starts dancing in the middle of the dance floor, at which point the singer goes back to the mic and says, “Not like that mate, you look a c**t!” Harsh, I know, but flawless timing.

Still, he is selling it at dumping price.

I wasn‘t aware of that. Thanks for posting.

Yeah, it's sometimes surprising how that is. I don't know whether it's the andrenaline or what, but after 10-15 mins of playing, injuries that have us wondering if we can make it through the gig, miraculously stop hurting. I've had monster huge blisters that I got from playing upright bass (which I don't do often) burst mid gig and within minutes become painless. Glad to hear you had a good gig.

So, how did your gig go?

Ooooh good Point. And I nearly went for that‘n‘all.....

I thought you might show up here 😉. It struck me as maybe being your kind of thAng. They‘re playing near me soon with the bigband ( I‘m not sure if that includes the DJs. I doubt it somehow. Pity that.). I think I shall pop along for a listen.

I did something very similar some years ago. I taped it up with elastoplast, the smooth type. However, I had maybe from Tuesday to Saturday to heal. It wasn’t my very best performance, but I got through. The superglue idea may well work. I know it‘s sometimes used in emergencies. Don‘t panic, you‘ll make it. Good luck on the weekend.

Thanks for that recommendation, excellent. I skipped around a couple of their videos and landed upon this. I shall be playing it every morning before breakfast for the next while.

A huge loss to music. Soul, soul, soul.. RIP.

The big gloves give it away.

I‘m sorry, I don‘t understand the question.

Presumably it comes with a fitted case.
