King Tut

I’ll get in touch with the guy who runs the venue and see if I can get any more info

I'm guessing low!

I played at Barnoldswick Music and Arts Centre a couple of weeks ago. The guy who runs it (owns it?) Pete Barton manages Bruce Foxton. Hanging on the wall is Bruce's Black (well Roadworn) Ricky along with his stage gear! Anyone know anything about this bass?

Tomorrow (Wednesday) night I’ll be playing with STRAY at The Half Moon in Putney.

This Saturday I’ll be depping with John Verity (ex Argent) at The Barnoldswick Music and Arts Centre.

Ordered!

Was just watching this yesterday!

Id jump on that!

Might be an idea to mention where you are bud so we can point you in the right direction. personally I’d touch it in with something near enough, but I appreciate some folk like to keep their stuff blemish free. Good luck getting it done!

Played a Sixtieth birthday party yesterday at Tiffany's on the end of Weston-Super-Mare Pier depping for The John Verity Band. There was us and a Metallica Tribute 'Metallicish". What an absolute organisational shitshow! Absolutely no common sense from the events co-ordinator applied, very limited access for vehicles to the end of the pier and stage placed all wrong. We ended up with the ridiculous situation where we weren't allowed to bring vehicles back to the venue to load out because the risk assessment dictated no vehicles on the pier while there were pedestrians around - despite the fact that there are effectively three lanes on the pier - a tunnel - and one lane either side. Ended up with John (who's 75 YO) and I having to wheel the gear 400 yard on trollies to the van to leave. Disgusted - I'll never play there again - avoid at al cost - W Anchors!

That’s a lovely looking thing for sure but I’m totally with @WHUFC BASS I’d pick up one of the latest models. I’ve got a 77 4001 and and a 2016 4003 and apart from the mojo’d looks there’s no real reason I’d take the 77 out over the 2016. The vintage switch on the later models make them pretty versatile as well. I’m proper tempted by the walnut one on here tbh but must stay strong!

RIP Sam

I went to see Girl at the Marquee. Marillion were Support and bought a coach load of fans in from Aylesbury. They played a blinder - then went to see them at Reading which was their big break really, I think they’d just parted ways either way originally drummer Mick Pointer which was the subject matter for the song Assasing. The misses and I are briefly visible in one of their Hammersmith Odeon Videos!

Stray have bee asked to go on tour with British Lion this December. We'll be doing all 15 dates in December but not the November ones. Apparently the five London nights have sold out already. We supported them in Nottingham and Manchester last year and had a blast. To say we're excited is an understatement!

Well pedal toppers or not I’m definitely out now as I purchased a pink Sire fiver from here at the weekend!

Not my experience and I own both. The M has the ability to get more toppy and a stronger hi mid. The front end is very much like an SVT which the controls pretty much mimic. I much prefer the M over the T although the T is still a lot of amp for the money.
