    Well my first gig in my hometown. I felt I was rough but we went down a storm. One very strange song, the drummer decided to experiment with a different drum patter for Radar Love. He thought we were put off by the unannounced chage (he'd seen a youtube video). Actually it was the fact he played at a tempo of about 230 instead of 175. I think we broke the Guinness World Record for speed playing the song... I didn't know I could play that fast!

    My better half booked "the ultimate zz top tribute" but they only played 20% zz top songs, ehich confused people a lot, although they were very good (apparently).

    It's like a simplified version of Squid Game. Everyone takes their favourite bass. We then stand in a circle and bash each other unconscious. Last one standing takes all the basses.

    Yep I've had the 'are you a musician question' thing at the interval before now 🙂

    A necro-thread that deserves re-invigoration! I've finally cracked this after three or four sessions. It felt like notes, rythym, tempo - pick any two! Guitarist sent me a link to Mark's video, suggesting I play the bodge at the beginning! 🤣

    Caramelised = roasted Not fake.

    Err... that's what the Jazz bass was originally conceived as!

    The Exchange in Risca, great crowd, but a bloody great chunk of wall right in the middle of the bar room.

    A pub we've played a couple of times before, really small and challenging to set up in. Before we started it was prety much at capacity (that's not a huge number of people!) Went really well. At the end we finished with Purple Rain and everyone was singing along to the wo-oh-oh-ohs. Never had so many people doing the rounds to say how much they enjoyed it and even buying us drinks. Even the landlord came and congratulated us all. Nice 😁

    I use one of those, silly cheap and never had an issue with it.

    Go a gig at my boomiest venue on Sunday. Stone flag floor, awkward layout, two bare walls facing each other exactly one 110Hz wavelength apart...

    That's why people should use the median salary, 50% of people earn less, 50% earn more. The median average salary for all workers in the UK is £25,971.

    The lovely (I may be biased) Ms. Stubette has asked me to say: "thank you for making me feel welcome, lovely food and a very interesting day, thank you". I think she enjoyed your company folks 😊

    "What sort of job do you want?" "A total doss. Something requiring minimal qualifications, skill and knowledge, no real work, just sitting round chatting to people and making things up off the top of my head. I thought, maybe I could get a job as a careers officer."

    My elf had its vital stats taken at today's bass bash. Looks like a slight mid scoop. Warwick Gnome looked like the himalayas...

    Absolutely, excellent organisation, scrumptious nosh great company. Even the non-bassy Ms. Stubette enjoyed the bash 😁 Some random pics, one is my Elf being tested!
