The Exploited , when they headlined F*CK Reading in 1996. It was so loud pitch was indistinguishable. And I was wearing earplugs. We left after the first 2 noise assaults.

Paid rehearsal.

@Clarky are you back in a metal band?

What did the punters make of it?

Guitar players whose playing would not be affected at all, if the little finger of their fretting hand was amputated.

You can usually treat bursitis with things like rest, ice packs and painkillers. But prevention being better than the cure, @Happy Jack has a video on here somewhere, showing how to warm up before playing, which will help prevent reoccurrence.

Runnymede Live, Victory Park, Addelstone. It only took 2 years but Electrik Soup finally got around to doing a gig! The phrase 'herding cats' was invented for this band 😆 Outdoor gig today, fortunately the weather was good. We were the first band on at 12:45pm. Set consisting of mainly 90's indie and Britpop (hence the bucket hat). One of the guitarists forgot to bring the bass amp, so I used a Warwick Gnome belonging to the other guitarist, just as a DI. It sounded really good, with a surprising amount of 'heft'. On stage monitors were plentiful and although we didn't have a sound check the on stage sound was sorted by the third song, and FOH sounded great according to the punters I spoke to. I only took a clip on tuner, which died as I was tuning. All I needed on an out door gig 😖. But Shuker 3 is awfully resilient and tends to stay in tune regardless of environment. So I got away with it. Gear: Shuker 3 > Airbridge wireless > Warwick Gnome (DI) > FOH

But that's 2 louder 😯

What bass do you play? 😉

Frank Skinner (voice of Ozzy's audio biography) on when he first met Ozzy. Frank: I used to be in a band who played Paranoid. Ozzy: So did I!

What country is it made in?

Is the improved tracking on v4 going to filter down to v3?

It's an excuse for your band mates to get together before going the pub.

I watched the video but got distracted by a couple of things...

And he's worked with Ozzy, Metallica, and Alice in Chains.

And Queens of the Stone Age, after Elton told Josh they should have a real Queen in the band 😆

Not really, he's got form. He once played keys with Saxon.

I've lost gigs because of my inability to sing and play at the same time. TBF my inability to actually sing hasn't helped either.

Yes

A double blind p-bass shootout would be interesting. Various p's at price points from the cheapest Squier to a USA custom shop. Er, anyone bringing a USA custom shop precision? ☺️
