Getting nervous about this fuel shortage/non-shortage. Whole band is supposed to be driving up to Scotland from London on Friday, returning Monday and really don't fancy running out halfway there...
-
There's a first. We walked away from a gig without playing a note as the pub thought we had too many amps (we are a 5 piece) and our amps looked "too loud". We hadn't even plugged in or fully set up. When they asked us to lose a band member or play after 10pm when their restaurant was closed, we packed our gear and left. Lord Raglan in Wokingham, for the record. My advice: never accept a gig there

Radio WigWam have played a lot of my band West on Colfax - sorry to hear about the gig. We played a benefit gig with generally a really great crowd, we were half way through and some drunk shouted play a cover, which quick as a flash our singer said we're not doing Wonderwall to a round of applause, and the guy actually was going to say Wonderwall he admitted later at the bar, that's how i know he was drunk, he slurred at me. There should be a Brightside/Wonderwall ban for a few years 🙂

Sorry to hear this. It's such a waste of everyone's time too. You could have taken another (paying) booking. They probably had customers turn up, expecting to see a band etc. I too have done free gigs where I've thought "why do I do this?" and of course others where I ended up really enjoying the gig.
Good on you for naming and shaming the pub. Better luck with the next one @Clarky

Greater love hath no man for a woman ... I have just sat through the first two episodes of the Sex in the City reboot. "And just like that" with Mrs C. This is not bass related but I felt the need to share my pain

Playing my longest ever gig tonight. Two sets for a total of c.2 hours. Back should be fine (debut of sub 7lb Serek Midwestern bass).

How exciting to be briefly Banned! Living on the edge

Major attempted downsize with 4 basses now up for sale (SG, Mustang, Jazz, Bordwell).

"it’s been modified"
Oo! I missed that. Have you told BC about this before? If not, any chance of a topic about it?
The brief go I had on it suggests that I should go for a short scale fretless too. I am okay with standard 34in scale with frets but my intonation isn't great when it comes to 34in without frets.

EA combo: there's an iamp350 combo on eBay thats been there for many months (£345 plus £15 delivery) so would probably take an offer. Looks in need of a good clean-up but thats all.

Big thank you to @Old Horse Murphyfor helping me sort wonky jack socket on my brand new (yes....) Rick 4003S. Took jack plate off his own bass and sent photos to guide me. Top man

Edit: Cab hunt sorted!

Any BCers in/around Southend fancy some live goth/post-punk music action on Friday? My band, The InSect, is headlining. Details below
-
Small rant but when something in the FS forum is sold can the seller please type SOLD in the title. Would save a shedload of wasted time

According to the BC profanity filter, our next gig (18th March) is at the Fighting pink torpedos in Kingston

Got anything coming up in Shitterton?

Parcelled up bass to send to Belgium via DPD, attached customs documents in clear plastic sleeve. Bass rejected and returned to me a few days later, no explanation and no indication the >£100 paid (fully insured for a £2k bass) will even be partially refunded. Brexit, yay

Merry Christmas to BassChat (and to my FaceBook bass pals who may have wondered where I am: I quit FB a few weeks ago). Enjoy!
-
Guy Pratt's old R*ck 4001 - as played on the live screening of the Saucerful of Secrets gig from the Roundhouse - sounded great and IMHO beat his collection of Fenders, Bass Collection and Warwick. Sacrilege around here but there you go!
-
3 gigs for us in 'that London' in the next month. First since the week before March 2020 lockdown. Wooo!
-
I have an Items Wanted ad but not everyone reads that forum - so is anyone looking to offload a 4 ohm (only) Euphonic Audio NL210 Gen III or Wizzy M-line 112? Thx

That annoying moment when you buy a Big Muff pedal from GAK and - on delivery - you discover the box (correctly labelled as Bass Big Muff) in fact contains a guitar tremelo pedal. Grrrrr
-
Looking forward to playing Fiddler's Elbow, Camden on Friday. Onstage 8pm in case anyone fancies coming along. Expect rocking blues with tons of guitar solos and barely adequate bass playing 🤣
-
OMG, Nick Cave & Bad Seeds back on form with amazing, anthemic new single Wild God
-
Saw James Taylor at Apollo last night. Still has that voice and what a band - Steve Gadd on drums, Jimmy Johnson on bass and a bunch of other fine players/singers
-
If learning to read music, you can thank me later
