    Halloween gigs on Friday and Saturday. Both pubs made a real effort with decorations and the staff all in costume, so thought it was only proper that we should join in!

    Having a clear out and found 2 CTS250SS pots. I'm fairly sure they are these [url="http://www.guitarpartsworldwide.com/CGE+250K+SOLID+SHAFT+POT+PWt6TjNBRE14b0RkalZIWnZKSGM"]http://www.guitarpar...b0RkalZIWnZKSGM[/url] Bought them for a P-bass project that never went anywhere. Anyway, if you want them just message me your name and address. Thanks.

    Just bought Alex's US Standard P. He kindly drove to meet me halfway, which saved me a couple of hours travelling. Bass exactly as described and keenly priced. Didn't have time to chat unfortunately. Happy to recommend.

    I'm right handed. I do all the complicated things with my right hand - writing, using tools, using a mouse, texting (and you've got a dirty mind!) etc etc. So why, when I play bass, do I do the complicated bit ie fretting with my left hand? Wouldn't it make more sense to play it 'left-handed'? (I've tried but I've been playing it 'right-handed' for 40 something years and my brain just melts). Any ideas out there?

    [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]My band Random Patrols is looking for a new singer. [/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Here's the bit about the band. We play all original material, and at our last gig the venue's description of us was '[b]Random Patrols[/b][color=#000000]-delay heavy spidery guitars and emotive vocals, possible nod to U2 there but there’s a bit more to their sound to that, quite subtle an lo-fi in places and really anthemic and stirring in others.' Which isn't too far off. There's some demos on [url="http://www.facebook.com/randompatrolsband"]Facebook [/url]which capture us well. [/color][/font][/size] We're all in our 40s/50s, and (apart from me) can play really well, and while we take it seriously enough it's a fun, relaxed vibe. [color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]We rehearse about once a month in Enfield and gig a couple of times a year in and around North London.[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]We're looking preferably for a female vocalist. The only real requirements are (ii) a good voice and (ii) no divas. Because we don't have a packed schedule this may be suitable for someone who sings in a band that doesn't gig too often and fancies an interesting side project. If you know of anyone who might be interested please put them in touch. [/font][/color]

    Now £60.00 This is a 100W combo amp with a 15” speaker. It’s very loud and has a decent range of tones. It will comfortably keep up with two guitars and a loud drummer in rehearsal, and is easily up to gigs.in smaller venues. It’s solidly built with a metal grille and has survived a lot of use without looking scruffy. It has a number of useful features: - a single input switchable for active and passive basses, - two channels - a distortion channel with gain, shape, and level controls; and a clean channel with a 4-band EQ and an octave control for boosting the bottom end - a 2-button footswitch for switching channels and turning the octave boost on and off - a XLR balanced line out (pre/post EQ selectable) - a mute switch, a headphone output as well as CD inputs - a built-in chromatic tuner (which works very well). · Size 26” H x 21”’ W x 16" D. Weight 69 lbs It’s in good overall condition. Everything works as it should. The fabric covering is intact. Only flaws are some marks on the grille and the rubber on the handle has torn at the ends, although it still cushions the handle properly when you lift it. I’ve tried to show them in the photos. It is heavy so collection/delivery only please. I’m near J26 of the M25, but travel to Milton Keynes each day, Happy to meet up or deliver to anywhere local to or between these location.Any questions please fire away.

    Up for sale is a Hartke VX115 1x15 bass cab. 300W/8 ohm. It's been my spare cab for a couple of years and so hardly used in that time. I'm selling it just because I need the room. It's in decent condition, the fabric covering is intact if a bit worn in places, and the corners have a few marks but nothing major, but the main thing is that the (original) driver is fine and it all works as it should. All the specs are on t'internet.at [url="http://www.samsontech.com/hartke/products/cabinets/vx-cabinets/vx115/"]http://www.samsontec...cabinets/vx115/[/url]. Because of size and weight collection preferred, but happy to courier at the buyer's cost. I'm located just north of London (very near J26 of the M25) and travel to Milton Keynes most days, so can meet/up deliver anywhere local to those. If you have any questions please get in touch.

    Came over as a decent sort, too.

    Springsteen by Eric Church references I'm on Fire, Born to Run and Born in the USA, by, yes you guessed it, Bruce Springsteen.

    Space Ritual - Hawkwind and Quadraphenia - The Who only work as doubles imvho. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is a set of great songs but isn't coherent enough to need them to be on one album. And anything since 1975ish is just noise.

    I think it's about finding the right 'pitch' for your voice. I can sing I Was Born Under a Wandering Star perfectly. Unfortunately that isn't much use in the typical covers band set list!

    Best opening line of any song ever imho

    Occasionally have the luxury of using an Ampeg V4B into a SVT810 at my local rehearsal studio. On very moderate volumes it sounds a bit like a tiger purring. Would love to try it at full blast one day. But at a combined weight of 13 stone it's totally OTT for pub gigs.......isn't it?

    Played a wedding reception in a big echoey village hall. Early finish due to noise restrictions. Nice piece of homemade cake waiting for me when I got in. Best bit of the evening!

    The Tourists version of I Only Want To Be With You - always makes me smile.

    Played there a couple of times in the last year. The limiter is set slightly off centre so you can angle the pa away from it and it doesn't seem too sensitive. I set it off the first time but cutting the bass a bit solved that and second time we didn't have a problem. We're a fairly quiet four piece but we could have turned up a bit and still had some headroom. There's a fairly regular crowd there and they do like the standards so that could be another reason for the request. And don't be surprised when the place empties at about 11:30 as everyone goes to a bar around the corner!
