He's still making a decent noise though - he sounds bloody good for a bloke his age

Wow only just before me then, small world eh?

When was this? I used to work as stage crew on the Acoustic stage!

Agreed, it's a shame as everything else about it is great.

Early Washburn models with a P pickup would match the brief too

An early set for a friends birthday. We arrive and alarm bells immediately ring, we are to set up on grass in front of a PA rigged for DJs, outside in the baking hot sun... No flat surface for the drums, and as soon as we chuck a mic up its feedback city. Luckily the guy providing the sound is a smart and resourceful fella, he grabs the DJ monitors on stands and sets them up in front of us (a nice pair of QSCs which were more than adequate) then manages to cobble together a makeshift drum riser out of rack lids. We were on far too early, hardly anyone there but played really well - sounded good and a good test for playing in adverse conditions! The PA rig was particularly impressive - solar powered with a bunch of Tesla batteries, able to run for over 12 hours on battery power alone. In the bright sunshine was fully charged and easily still running 4k of bass. Off Grid Sound Systems if anyone is interested 👍

I have a BC Rich with a similar issue.

We are a four piece doing (almost) all originals. Usually it's only one of us that drops the ball at a time so we have a mutual agreement that we carry on and you have to join back in. Unless it's a complete car crash and then I guess we'll stop and reset. That hasn't happened (yet!)

Puscifer, in Manchester. Just now. I am a changed man.

...and gave Royal Blood a lesson in how to behave on stage.

I decided to strip things back a bit. Electric bass goes into Super Symmetry, Poly Blue Octave and Microtubes then into ABY channel A. EUB goes into the Fishman (with a feed out to the mini tuner for a permanent helper) then into ABY channel B. ABY into Korg tuner to amplifier. I'm a bit miffed I can't fit the Fishman on the board but I can live with it.

Well I think I look stupid with anything but a full sized bass, so that's enough for me 👍

No worries at all fella! 👍

At the SW Bass Bash, unless you are a different Richard? I helped you carry some gear to your Jaguar? Close, 6'3"! I'm not built for short scales 🤭

You've met me, right? 🤣

Only two of mine are named. My Ric-a-like was already called Ronnie Barker when I acquired it, and my BC Rich Zombie is called Dolores.

Say no to finger poo!
