One of my favourite bands in the early seventies, fabulous album covers by Roger Dean.

I bet all those Knopfler solos sounded great being played on a keyboard ☹️

And a Wetherspoons.

This was the MB set up I used to have, I have now scaled down to a 2 x 15 MB cab rig. That original set up had a massive spread and oomph, quite a few sound engineers at bigger gigs said they wouldn’t bother to di me as my back line was cutting through no problem.

I’m surprised at some comments regarding the amps not being loud enough, what volume do some of you guys play at, it must be deafening. I play at the weekends in a pretty loud rock band, mostly in large pubs and our guitarist plays at a loud volume through his rig, my Markbass master is hardly on and is plenty loud enough to be well in the mix with the rest of the band, anymore and I would be overpowering everyone. Here is my EQ from our last gig.

Definitely some stick, you started off your thread with “so” 😀 That aside, I used to love by big old Peavey TNT combo’s back in the day.

Pure class from Billy and his band.

What time is bingo ?

Just spotted the dreaded Mustang Sally on your set list ☹️

Who needs DHL 👍

Pride and Joy - SRV Very nice walking bass line.

Both The Cult bass players Chris Wyse and Craig Adams only play 4 stringed, it worked ok for those guys, it would be interesting to hear how it sounds using a five.

Yes, seen it a couple of times. One guy was particularly treated very badly, especially after he was persuaded to stay working for them and then to find himself out of work a few months later.

Our singer currently has a cold and has cancelled this weekend gig. 🤧

The Darkness originate from Kessingland, a village just outside of Lowestoft.

Just checked out the writing on the inside of the body and it translates to - Special Fried Rice.

It’s more worrying when they do up the top button but leave all the others undone.

One of the chaps on here plays with Stray, maybe he has some inside info on the cancellations.

Bruno is actually a very good guitarist, probably better than Parfitt.

Commercially based on US sales. Capt & Me - 2 x Platinum What Were once Vices - 2 x Platinum Minute by Minute - 3 x Platinum Like McDonald or not, the album sales proved it was a good decision.

Love both of the versions of the Doobies, yes McDonald took them off in another direction, fabulous songs which made them even more successful, I would have doubted the longevity of the band if we didn’t have that McDonald era.

Only watched half of the first show, utter sh*te. Read about the Justin Hawkins issue on the internet.

Fantastic news, one of my favourite all time bands 👍

Justin Hawkins has highlighted a point about the two females, Davina McCall and Rita Ora on the judging panel making lewd comments about him when in costume, this would be totally unacceptable if it were the other way around, good on him for highlighting it.
