  1. I must be totally weird...after reading all theses hate gig comments..... Im 65, been playing double bass/electric bass since the age of 8. Played in bands aged 14, been all over the UK gigging and loved every single moment...from the rough and ready gigs to the very top end big payers! I love the drive to and from gigs, setting up and ragging down it just ticks every box l've ever wanted to do. I really do understand all the things everyone detests about gigging but for me, playing bass has been a privilege and a totally pleasure.....
  2. Great little amps these, especially the MK2 model....I love mine. Glwts
  3. The new amp sounds great and looks the dogs as well. I'm using my trusty R400 tonight with a couple if compacts at High Green Social Club, Sheffield tonight...this amp is also awesome. Pics to follow.
  4. Tried learning this and its a right pain! Wife told me off for kicking the dog and reorganising the dining room furniture....
  5. When should they retire? As soon as they start sounding as bad a McCartney, Elton John, Blondie, Madona et al......
  6. Get rid asap, its just not worth the hassle. Short term pain but long term gain. If this guy isnt even willing to communicate face to face or turn up for rehearsals then whats the point. Ive been in good bands that have been torn apart by arrogant, egotistical singers/guitarist and troublesome wifes/girlfriends and it just does not work out. Cut your losses mate, either get rid or find another band where everyone is rowing the same boat👍
  7. Thanks for this....really cool. I'm going to look these up.
  8. A truly beautiful piece of music....my eldest daughter plays this for me when I twist her arm...
  9. Head say yes...........back say NO ! GLWTS bud.
  10. Brilliant, thanks ezbass. Does anyone know of anyone in the UK who could make this strap? Cheers, Woody
  11. Does anyone know where I could get a strap hand made like the one Marcus uses in the pics please. Thanks in advance, Woody.
  12. These boys knew how to entertain.....the audience look totally bewildered haha......
  13. Ive rediscovered the Sensational Alex Harvey band. Absolutely phenomenal live. Great musicians, incredibly theatrical with a dark, sinister undertone. Saw them supporting Slade in Sheffield in the early 70's and l was hooked.....and 50 years later lm still hooked. Chris Glen is a very solid and underestimated bass player and as for Zal....just sensational. Check them out if you've never heard of them.
  14. Do you have a sunburst ray for sale mate?
  15. That face he pulls proper scares me..........
  16. Could run a bus through it....absolutely ludicrous!!!
  17. Dearest piece of fire wood I've ever seen!!
  18. Fender Precision 50's classic series Pickups that sound really good but swapped out for an upgrade to Norstrand NP4a. £35 posted, Cheers, Steve
  19. Cut for a Fender precision. Used once then taken off as I prefer Ernie Ball slinky strings, so they are basically brand new. 40/60/80/100 gauge. £15 posted.
  20. Shake, rattle and roll ?
  21. In the words of Jim Bowen.....Super, Smashing, Great!
  22. Gold anodized pickguard from a 50's classic precision bass. Will also fit the 50's road worn bass. Used but in very good condition. Price includes postage. Will deduct £5 if picked up. Cheers, Steve.
