I've had one of these, cracking bass for no money GLWTS

I had something similar in the 70' but foolishly sold it for peanuts.

Too much hwft for me these days 

GLWTS

I'm still recovering from missing your Mike Lull 😭

Sweet home Alabama, dreams (fleet wood Mac version), Dakota, sanctuary 

it's only open mic night version, fortunately and fairly basic compared to you lot. Sadly available time for practice means only fairly simple songs 

Sweet Home is fun to play as is Dakota, although Dakota is better if you're locked in with the drummer

New music by post rock band, We Lost The Sea.

Brilliant new album. 

 

 

Nice!

Among others, Mustang Sally, Committments version. Wicked inverted walking bass lines

English Teacher 

This Could be Texas

Excellent prog rockery with a modern vibe

Fair play, Olivia Rodrigo is owning it.

My 6-year old granddaughter went to see her in Hyde Park on Friday. Hope she (Olivia Rodrigo) kept her potty mouth to herself 😊

That aside, she's very good 

Joy Crookes was excellent if you like jazz and soul. Excellent band

Just caught a little of a band new to me called Divorce playing in that little off stage set the BBC have. Excellent musicians and a great female lead vocalist playing what looked like a short scale Rickenfaker. Nice. 

It's a Kay Rickenfaker I think.

He's the sort of bloke who I think would be brilliant to have a pint with but by the time you've stuck around for a third or fourth he'd probably start getting on your nerves. And I mean that in the sincerest, nicest way possible.

I bet you're right

I think pulp did a pretty good set and went down well.

Pulp were excellent. Jarvis is a great frontman.

Neil Young. Loved the way the band slowed Glastonbury down to a crawl. Long breaks between tunes. Lazy out of tune soloes, and the band all shuffling around on a piece of stage the size of an iPhone.  Id forgotten how good some of his early stuff actually was.

and an organ on a swing.... bizarre

I was idly watching on I Player & it occured to me that I wasn't seeing much in the way of Palestine flags (if any), then I noticed what looked like some clever trickery where a sort of 'rural' image was appearing on some flags, I'm sure it was an 'instant imposition' thing ..........................

 

😎

A video I've seen on Threads shows loads of Palastinian flags so you might well be onto something there

Someone earlier on described Glasto as a sunny and extended Jools Holland session. I reckon that’s not too far off the mark.

....hmmm, can't see Jools booking Wunderhorse anytime soon

I get it though. I watched a bit of The Script....if U2 & Coldplay had a child!

Total Blandsville.

For me, CMAT have stolen the show so far from what I have seen.

 

I caught 1 number and liked that a lot

There's been some good acts on today - Supergrass, Franz Ferdinand, Alanis Morisette, Biffy Clyro and now 1975 and Fratellis. I get it might not be everyone's cup of tea, but they are mine, and these are all bands/artists that are either currently popular or have been at some point in the past 30 years.

I missed Alanis....thank goodness for iplayer

Watched a bit last night

English Teacher - excellent, bought their album

Super grass - dialling it in 👎

Wet Leg. Not bad, singer has very nice bum

Wundahorse - loved 'em. Huge energy and very heavy. + Kim Wilde's son on guitar.....guess he should be in America 😊

Loyle somebody. A rapper. Rap isn't my thing but I enjoyed his set, sort of a jazz/funk rap vibe

Franz Ferdinand - not a fan tbh but their set was great. Bassist had a very interesting Rickenbacker - a 3000 series I think.

The 1975 - so so, a bit dull tbh

Looking forward to tonight's offerings

It seems like in some circles playing with a pick is frowned upon.

 

As a teen I was " all in " with finger playing. I switched to playing with a pick about 25 years ago. For no reason other than the type of grooves and riffs I play are easier to execute with a pick.

 

Daryl

Audiences don't care if you use fingers, a pick, your big toe or next door's cats claws, they care about the sound and if you're in the groove.

The 'pick or not to pick' debate is a nonsense, use whatever fits the sound.

......just as long as no-one asks us low-enders to smile when on stage. 🤐

BBE Opto Stomp Optical Compressor 

This is an early one with the blue led. It's in pretty good condition with a few marks from age and use. Works of a battery or a 9v PSU. Comes with original box and bits n bobs. They're on Fleabay for £150 odd but that's daft money so it's up here for £75.00

I've pmd you

15 metre stage snake box. 12-way 8/4

Fully tested using the cable tester I borrowed from work

Gruv Gear gig bag for bass. NOW SOLD 

A very well made thing and all the zips are working. 

The latest version is £300 odd new so if this floats your boat, it's good value for one hundred of your English pounds.

Could post at cost but would rather do a meet up if it's not too far

Pair of EV ZXA1 12" active subwoofers 700 Watt per sub, with covers. In good condition with a few small dinks. Pair of Pulse speaker poles can come with the speakers if required.

I can deliver within reasonable distance of Nottingham 

No trades, I'm re-locating
