You could play great Battle Ships on that....or psychedelic Chess!

I was at Cory Wong in Bristol last night...astoundingly funky!

Gong (and all its incarnations) Parliament/Funkadelic (and all its off spring) Bob Marley & The Wailers (and all its Recycled riddims)

Damn...pipped to the post 😉

Yeah we play this, good fun bass line 'Could you be loved', is another good one.

My second ever gig back in the 90’s at a half decent venue. I was a newbie bass player on L plates, fingers were raw having dreamt on being the next Louis Johnson - although in reality I could not slap for shizzle. I was aware of my very sore blistered fingers so on another bassists recommendation I bought some superglue to put over the blisters...anyhow, long story short-nipped to the loos between sets and squeezed the cheapy glue and the top shoots off the glue and all over my fingers and hand....to make it worse I reached for toilet tissue to wipe it off...it was a very difficult and memorable second set.

Yes man, digging them

I should really get around to contributing to this thread being a bit of a reggaemon but i have been running on a Jamaican time frame, 😂....better irie than never My old reggae covers band has recently reformed, new singer (female), new horns (forgot how loud trombonists are). Very early days, 4 rehearsals so far and around 10 tunes......oddly mostly ska at this stage. I've played various reggae esq music between 2008-2015 from covers of the usual classics and also not so well known, a bit of 50/60's trad ska with a jazz flavour, bit of two tone ska depping for Too hot, heavy loud UK Roots dub being the live backing band for our friend Daddy Teacha who's worked with Vibronics, Iration Steppas, and Alpha & Omega among many, and also providing billions of classic riddims for our Jamaican friend 'Goldman' and his live Tiger style sets...20 seconds of a riddim, 'pull upppppppp'.... next riddim followed by Sleng Teng for two hours (ad nauseum).....long set list with songs lasting the average length of a Napalm death song! Then had 4 years off doing soul/funktion band stuff and a bit of grunge rock to play a bit of my youth.....but now back to the vibe i love ......the sweet reggae.....here is a nice tune we're nicking for the set, we'll do a version of a version of a version...simple B line but the sum of the parts are very nice:

I think we should demand a 20% discount for verified BC users to buy from GAK in the future 😂

Just seen GAK has some of the cheaper headless range in stock, anyone pulled the trigger? Still very keen to get more factual information on the weight of these headless beasties.

Cut & paste from my FB: First concert - Black Sabbath (Wolverhampton aged 14, Dio) Last concert - Snarky Puppy (bloody marvelous) Best concert - Gong, Bootsy, JTQ, Snarky, Herbie Hancock, Roni Size, Corduroy, Parliament/Funkadelic, Gil Scott Heron, Orbital (Glastonbury after consuming a bad aspirin), Culture, Wailers, Levellers acoustic, Dreadzone (Endorset), EZ Star All Stars, Skatalites, Massive Attack, Abyssinians, and many I’ve forgot! Worst concert - Roger Taylor...love Queen but I fell asleep to Rogers solo stuff Loudest concert - Vibronics (One love reggae festival....beer glasses moved of their own accord due to earthquake like bass resonance) & Prodigy (Phoenix festival 96) Seen the most - Gong, Dreadzone or Ozric Tentacles. Most surprising - Britney Spears (Birmingham NEC...was with a hedonistic press team from the Glaswegian Record...don’t ask!) Next concert - Cory Wong (Vulfpeck solo project) Wish I would have seen - Bob Marley, Hendrix, Kate’s Bush or Lennon.
