  1. Not great is it mate, there’s been a few centre venues looking for acts - must be having an effect. We tend to stay out of city centre now - particularly Bradford 🤬
  2. Same happened in Sheffield Dave, we’ve now crossed city centre off our gig area list - the parking costs were bad enough and venues can’t afford the price hike if we pass it on.
  3. Wish I had the cash dude, really miss mine. When you look at the price of new EBMM then this one is a steal.
  4. Well, I’ll have one last crack at this with a final final reduction before going to plan B. So if anyone wants a great condition Sterling at a great price fill yer boots.
  5. Faker than the fakest, fake thing. Bridge - off a Sub or generic Chinese. Headstock logos, back and front wrong. Body wood mismatched - never seen that on a trans EBMM. Machine heads not marked. Run away....
  6. Ditto, don't think my fretless would work in a Glam band.... I sold my EBMM Ray fretless and bought a cheaper Saddo Metro Express to free up some cash but still have a fretless for the odd noodle.
  7. This one. Doesn’t really fit the look of the Glam band; I bought it with some inheritance money and couldn’t bear to part with it. It does feel special when it comes out to play though.
  8. Please be aware the mod team are currently on annual hibernation. Normal service will be resumed in the Spring.
  9. Think we should lock the thread now - that’s unbeatable
  10. Band 1. The vocalist had an affair with the girl who did the lights…..who was married to the sound man. Band 2. Drummer threw a tantrum at me because somebody hoofed him off his kit when he was messing a song up at a jamnight. Apparently we should have all stopped playing. Band 3. The guitarist blamed the band for not wanting to do an encore to the landlord when it was in fact him that was too pi55ed to carry on playing.
  11. Weight check - spot on 9lb according to the tried and tested digital scales malarkey
  12. To be honest the FB reporting system is a joke. On the local market place I see 2 or 3 times a week ads for selling counterfeit bank notes; I reported twice and was informed that the ads didn't contravene their standards......awesome.
  13. Samsung with me also. In my case a 50" smart TV. Not an inconsiderable spend so I was royally p155ed when the screen started to suffer issues at 5yr old, especially seeing as my previous Panasonic had done 10 years and was only replaced as it was a chonky flat screen. Was informed by their tech support that it was a known issue and the cost of repair would be not far off what I would pay for a new one. Sony got my money this time around - hope they're a bit better.
  14. I’ve always used a heavier gauge set on my shorties than the longies. Don’t know where I got the advice from; all mine are 50-105. I find I can easily pull the G off the fretboard on my G&L if I don’t do this…..crack handed, that’s me.
  15. Lovely bass, shame you’re the other end of the country from me..
  16. Greetings from a fellow South Yorkshireite
  17. I've made a final reduction to this one and will now let it float.
  18. Cheers mate, won’t be too upset if it doesn’t go Pete. I know I’ll hanker for one again down the line if it does.
  19. I’m sure it’ll find its place in the armoury Rich. I scratched my S2 itch a couple of years back, still got it but I don’t use it that much. Wouldn’t sell it though as it has some sentimental attachment. I feel I’m a heretic by saying I preferred my old Streamline…..noticed they’re also ridiculously expensive now 😟
  20. An immaculate condition Sterling 4H made in the old US of A. This is a 2013 model and has been well preserved as I play most gigs on short scales with the Glam band. This has been modified during its time with me, I wasn’t a fan of the anaemic neck finish so I had the neck refinished in a vintage tint gloss by none other than Jon Shuker. As it’s a maple board the bass was refretted at the same time but upgraded with stainless frets. The bass comes in the original HSC which is spotless. Not really interested in trades unless you have a EBMM short scale Ray or stingray special, with some cash your way. Not willing to post so this would be a collect or shady roadside cafe meet-up jobby. This is very much a feeler at this stage as this is one of the nicest Sterling’s I’ve played and I may come to my senses and just get a SBMM short scale ray without having to let this go.
  21. Happens to the best of us @SuperSeagull I'm worst with Musicman basses as the batteries seem to last forever and I forget how long they've been in. Had the LED battery go in my Status once but that was no biggy.
  22. I think John Rossal’s band came on to a hash up of RnR when we supported em a few years back. The audience was very mixed with some loving it and some shaking heads. That said, when Heaven 17 did the human league version at Sheffield a few years back everyone was on their feet - go figure. We were looking at ‘Let’s get together again’ on the GB front.
