Wild guess - could be from download 2011? Duff played, Alice Cooper played and black stone cherry played. No aerosmith though or Geezer

The Black Stone Cherry FB group is very friendly and at least one of the band members occasionally post there - could be worth asking in there if anyone knows what event its from

Pantera seemed to have the worst luck with the stream, everything was quiet except Zakk. Alice in Chains also suffered with Jerrys vocals being stupidly quiet and completely losing sound for a song but both are much better on the fan filmed videos. It did feel to me that with the spinning stage, one half had significantly better audio mix than the other

I know the gig is over, but the live stream is way behind so waiting on the last Sabbath performance. I’ve watch since the start and loved pretty much every minute Bloody fantastic

Ah man, that’s awful. I quite liked the Manchester store - in fact, I was due a trip there on Saturday. Eldest has nearly finished his exams and wants an acoustic skinny string to celebrate. youngest wanted to stare longingly at the Mike McCready strat. But obviously, that’s just a disappointment for us - very sad for the staff.

I was going to get the Buff McKagan P-Bass, but I can’t cope with the 15lb weight

I’ll be there as well! I saw Bruce at the Isle of Wight festival in 2012 and he was brilliant. I always had it in my mind to see him at one of his own shows. only downside is the complete lack of parking available. I got the tickets from Twickets and didn’t think to check if there was football on at the same time. I’ve found a place, but it’s a decent walk away

Decided to go a bit stupid with some upgrades. Anyone able to hazard a guess as to which hipshot tuners would be the easiest replacements? Im looking at the technical drawings but im about as technically minded as a rock edit - I reckon its HB7.

Exactly what I was thinking!

Flipping heck, off to eBay I go! looks amazing!

This might be the perfect excuse to order a spare before I go hacking it up with a dremel!

Cheers - I did presume so. I’ll take the pick guard off and take a look. It sounds good as-is anyway

Had a good blast last night. Really like the bass. I had to do a little set up adjustments which isn’t something I’m that good at but it’s playing really nicely now. one, possibly stupid, question though - I can’t seem to adjust the next pickup at all. I’m presuming I should be able to raise it? It just feels very tight and won’t lift at all.

How does black on black look?

Good news, mine just arrived. Had a quick unplugged play and it looks pretty great. Looks unplayed, and included a little baggie of plectrums and a cleaning cloth. Can’t wait to get it home and have a proper go! I also noticed one has reappeared on Anderson’s website. Luckily it’s another black, I may have had some explaining to do to Mrs H had it been blue

Along with my bass ☹️

After watching this thread, umming and ahhing and convincing myself I don’t need another bass (I really really don’t), I thought I was out of the woods when they sold out on andertons. but I thought I’d check eBay anyway. £149 and change later, an ‘out of box but unused’ black soloking will hopefully be on its way to me soon! I really need to stop reading these threads!

5 stars from me. I ordered a emg gzr p bass pickup last Thursday. It arrived on Friday but was ivory coloured, not black as expected. I gave them a call Friday afternoon and they sent a replacement out immediately with a return voucher for the original set.l which arrived Saturday. new set installed and sound amazing! ivory set will be winging their way back today. This was my first order with bassdirect. I had previously sold a bass a few years back through them but I’m really impressed they made good with a customer that was practically new to them. I was expecting to have to send them back before a new set would be sent out. so thanks very much - fantastic service

Hey all, a friends son is doing a dissertation on AI in the music industry and was after some help. They asked me, but to be honest I’m not much of a musician and I know nothing about AI. if any of you lovely people would be willing to do a short interview with him, it’d be hugely appreciated. He’s a great guy and it’s such a niche subject he’s really struggling to find interviewees. ‘Hi all, my name is Peter, I’m a third year international business management student doing a project in the effects of artificial intelligence on both artists and the music industry industry. If anyone would be interested in partaking in a short video interview to discuss their views on the future of music production, please contact me via my email. Any help would be greatly appreciated ‘ I’ve omitted his email address as I’m not sure it’s a good idea to post publicly but if you are happy to help, I’ll message it over to you. cheers! H

For what it’s worth, I can say they’re definitely legit - I won one of their basses a couple of weeks ago! it’s a Fender Made in Japan Limited International Color P-Bass. Really rolls of the tongue. It’s absolutely beautiful in Maui Blue. Came in less than a week from when it was drawn and is pretty much in perfect condition. Looking at my account, I’d spent about £90 on various draw over the past year so I’m well up and should probably stop there…..

I’ve been looking out for a reasonably priced Sansamp for a while now. Thanks for the tip! Just bought the behringer for £24 which seems ridiculous!

i was at the Manchester gig and Eddie was struggling. It sort of made it fairly unique as the band did what they could to help out. Mike McCready was absolutely on fire, and Jeff Ament is one of the coolest guys on the planet. We’d arrived early and queued so were nice and close. So close I felt something hit me and realised Jeff had thrown a pick - which I happily gathered up and will keep as a prized possession (have told the wife I want to be buried with it when my time is up) and my guitarist son grabbed a Mick McCready pic, who is quite liberal at throwing handfuls out to the crowd in front of him. I’ve seen them 8 times, the first being back in’96 and despite Ed’s obvious struggles it might be my favourite show. Absolutely gutted for those who had tickets tomorrow - I was mulling over the 6+ hour drive to see them again. Hopefully they’ll be back soon as they’re just incredible live. I just hope they drop the prices significantly and consider a few more dates at arenas. It suits them better.

Can’t help with the electrickery problem, but didn’t expect to see my poor old hometown take quite a kicking! I moved away 15 years ago, but I’m still fond of the old place! Even if it is a bit of a dump

Here’s one. Song written by guitarist Stone Gossard, recorded on the original demo tape sent to Eddie Vedder before Pearl Jam formed who did his thing and made Footsteps. At the same time, Temple of the Dog was being recorded so Chris Cornell put his mark on it for Times of Trouble

Lanegan was brilliant. His solo albums are better than the Trees but they made some great songs. have you listened to Mad Season? He did some songs with them, Slip Away was my favourite. Funnily enough, both were bands that I didn’t get when I was younger but I love both now. One for me I regret not listening to until after they broke up was Gaslight Anthem. Apparently they were a big deal and I’d never heard of them!
