The problem is that it’s easier to appeal to “rock” music fans from the decades up to the 80’s because by and large, “rock” music fans from that era like the same songs!! It was after this time the all of the sub genres all splintered off, now what defines “rock” is hugely different...indie is a long way from death which is a long way from grunge which is a long way from tech..... just do what I did, bin the radio off, sign up to iTunes and just ask Siri to play whatever the hell you want to listen to. Granted, you might miss the whatever the newest stuff is if you don’t keep your finger on the pulse, but it might just save your sanity!!!

When I first got involved with my last band, which was a grunge band, I though it would be a dead easy gig playing some really simple but popular songs. Some of you would say the same now... I was quite quickly brought down to earth!! Not only some complex bass lines, but some awkward time signatures as well. Rob DeLeo is one of my favourite bass players of all time. Considering he plays in a “rock” band, some of his lines could quite happily sit in Motown or jazz. Hugely underrated bass player.

I took your advice and emailed them, to which I got a very apologetic response, and a quick quiz for some more information, including an address to send a replacement to. Lets see what happens next!!

This is why you have to play your best at all times, you never know who is watching lol. It can be downright soul destroying at times!!

Hahaha!! The thought did occur!!! The other set was perfect though!

Hi everyone, I had to do a last minute restring to one of my basses before tonight’s gig, and I feel like I need to have a moan. A couple of months back I ordered some Ernie Ball cobalt flats from a US based website, and had a friend in California ship them over to me (this site had a crazy deal on), but in putting the strings on, I found this issue. As you can see from the pics, the G String (😂) has what appears to be rust/corrosion on the surface of the string in sections, while all the other strings are fine. This is the second set I bought, the first were fine. Seems really strange that only one string is showing signs of this, and as the strings are in plastic, I can only assume it left the factory this way?? i know it may only look small, but these are not cheap strings, and I suspect this string will go dead rather rapidly due to this VERY frustrating

Hahaha, nice one Karl 😂

Agreed. They have a decent number of gigs coming up for the remainder of the year (on average around 25 a year). Really good stress free band this one, haven’t been in a few bands over the years, I know how rare these are!!!

Haha, yes to got it BassBunny. And yes, Karl was kind enough to put my name forward when he decided to step down. great bunch of lads!!

I thought Beer, Burger and Gas Money was clever!!

😳🙊

Initials of the surname from the original members 😄

Hey everyone, due to family and work commitments I can no longer commit to a gigging schedule, so have offered to help the guys with finding a replacement. These are a really solid bunch of lads to be in a band with, no ego’s, no BS, just turn up and play some great tunes and have a great time doing it. Mostly 70’s and 80’s classic rock but there are some newer songs in the mix and looking throw in some more modern songs to freshen Things up Usially 2 gigs and a couple of rehearsal a month, mostly in the northwest. Drop me me a line for info!!
