Erm... guitars? Rickenbacker?

Pembroke Pilgrim. Mmmm... aliterationy

Certainly find venues & audiences more suited to your style of music. Learning covers can be a good way to gel a band, but don't necessarily bin the originals - practice them 'til they're bang-on, then play them at a suitable venue to the right crowd (if you can find them!). Good luck 👍

Hi Lewis 1 - Yes, definitely; 2 - Sadly, yes - until your band get a 'following', then they just want to hear the stuff that you wrote last year, not the new stuff! 3 - Not sure about this one - but I bet someone on here will. 👍

Erm.. Prog was 'fashionable'!?!?¿¡¿¡ Who knew!

Oh God! What have I done! He'll be so disappointed when he finds out that prog ended in the '70's

Ricky, I was only kidding you! I saw the article in Bass Magazine & the very prospect filled me with fear! 😱 I didn't enter either of us 👍 I entered FinHombré instead

No worries! 👍 I was actually so impressed with your prep work for trying out shop basses, and the comments from the staff in your music shop when I asked after you, and your work with reggae on a jazz bass, I've entered you in this: It's okay, you needn't thank me! 👌

Well, that's already covered! I merely select one from 'the stable' Through the shop window!

Very true (f*cking chancer comment aside!) 👍 These things aren't just thrown together! Also to consider is what rider to ask for.

You didn't mention planning the outfit! Amateur! You should've added: Check that gold lamé catsuit is dry cleaned from its last outing to a guitar shop; Try outfit on to check if alterations are required; Polish rhinestone studded belt; Practice stage moves in platform boots (also rhinestone studded); Check sufficient supply of autographed promo pictures for 'impromptu' handing out; Book into studio for hair, makeup & depilation. This is how you prepare, young Ricky!

Yep, only today was the most recent occasion. Went into The Music Gallery in Berwick, they had some nice Markbass combo amps, a small Vox, a Fender Jazz, a Squier Jazz (not as nice as mine), a couple of Rickenbackers & some other miscellaneous basses. Warned Mrs Teebs about the dangers of sharp edges on Rickys, didn't try anything, and left. In fairness, it was a nice shop.

Great idea for a thread! Fontella Bass - Rescue Me John Holt - Help Me Make it Through the Night. I only thought of these 'cos I'm playing them at the moment. Planning on learning the songs suggested above now 👍

My condolences to those who knew him. RIP John
