GAK and three music shops that gradually shut over 13 years

Only noticed when scrolled through a Facebook page, a giveaway picture. R.I.P

I am predominantly a bass player , play bass better than a guitar. But when I returned to bass playing about 15 years ago, I started playing more and more guitar. I'd say I play both now. Better at bass , but sometimes seem to play more guitar.

Sounds like old dead flat wound strings, fits this genre. But could be upright bass?

I have been using Ez Drummer 2 for many years. It has various styles of drumming, grooves. It has patterns you can mix and match, intro , chorus, verse etc. Just check you tube for tutorials. You can manually play drums with keyboard or pc keyboard and it will find the best match. There's an update available to choose from different music genre. But it looks like you're looking for a more AI based drum stuff (no fun in it in IMHO). I believe Ez Drummer has been now upgraded to 3 and even maybe 4 version. There is also one called Steven Slatter vat and many more.

Felt sorry for Steve when his bass had no sound in The Number of the Beast intro for a few sec. Otherwise one of the best Maiden gig I've been to. Ordered this one to the Future Past tour in 2023 at at O2. I also found Steve's bass sounded better, more bass rather than highs. At least how it sounded to me.

Wear a cap, that's what I'm doing. Are you in standing or seated?

Maiden in a few hours , cannot wait.

The Maiden Years on Planet Rock from 9 til 10 am, can't wait til Saturday

Depends on the angle

I miss GAK never disappointed in customer care

Sorry for late reply , been busy. I recently took the amp off and serviced it. I took an old Halfords bike carrier apart. Cut it to the desired length, swapped the locking mechanism around so it works as a stand. I put some prosecco cork stops in the tubes to protect the carpet. It hold the old school Peavey bass combo, about 31 kg. It's not a pretty stand but the combo conceals it.

Ordered a few things from them in last few years, they even ordered a Fender bass for me from Europe. Always great customer service. I remember going to the shop off chance, nice store. Shame, real shame.

Amp is on top of it, so won't see much, but will remove it for servisig then take a pic

I converted an old Halfords bicycle carrier into an angled stand. The amp weighs a out 32 kg, no issues.
