Maybe I’m being blind, but there are member numbers? Joined Sept ‘08 here, was over on TB to start with and stumbled across BC somehow.

I think I know the one you mean. That area of the UK has had a lot of gear (not the same seller IIRC) that has piqued my interest recently and only distance has kept my wallet safe.

Not that I’m aware of, but everything is relative, I guess.

We did a run through with a dep drummer for this coming Sunday’s gig. It was pretty awesome! The guy had plainly done a lot of homework and had a great feel. Police & Thieves had the most solid ‘one’ I have played to and could have happily played it for hours. Adding to that, he managed to swing Town Called Malice rather than the usual bashed out ‘four on the floor’ I have endured over the decades; another delight to play to. Given our usual drummer’s patchy availability, I’m hoping we might work with this guy some more. Prior to the rehearsal, I was feeling like packing it all in, but I’m feeling somewhat enthused now.

Hunting High And Low - Aha

Moo-ve It - Cliff

Elected - Alice Cooper

And have been for decades.

Dead End Street - The Kinks

Sorry for your loss, but anyway.

Just home. Pretty flat gig. We sold all the tickets, but not all the purchasers seemed to show up, as it looked light on numbers. Couldn’t really hear myself well, definitely had a few mind blank moments and our drummer wasn’t on his best. Another gig next Sunday afternoon/evening, but not looking forward to that as we’re using a dep drummer.

Playing an ex-serviceman’s club, doors open at 7:30, allowing us to set up, sound check, etc. People allowed in at 7! I’ve pretty much had enough of this shit! 🤬 I often wonder about packing it in, this is a tick in the yes column. Tonight’s rig Tonight’s footwear

Nice! I can hear Dune Tune already.

Down Down - Quo

Hands Off She’s Mine - The Beat

I Feel For You - Chaka Khan

You and @Jack are gentlemen with impeccable taste.

Old Man River - Paul Robeson

Get On The Good Foot - James Brown

The power of BC, top marks 👏👏👏. Same here and I keep looking at this too, but the violet one 😍…

Let’s Get Digital - Olivia Newton John

Just did a search on the GG website with your price range. These are obviously new, but the brands/models that stood out the most often were: Ibanez SRs, Yamaha TRBXs and SBMM Ray4s. These were all new of course, but they seem to have active offerings throughout that price range. I’ve never tried a Spector, but would really to, especially after watching this video: Maybe that might help deciding if that’s the active tone you’re looking for, or maybe this one for the ‘Ray, same format, different bass.

Another Snail In My Heart - Squeeze

One Of These Dace - Floyd
