One of my favourite “classic albums” episodes

Once sat in a rehearsal room when someone said “the bass player should be seen and not heard”. Red rag to a bull. here I am 25 ish years later, an derrière who pushes to be heard. I’d rather not be seen 😂

Yeah…I did think that. Maybe I could be the Bass Whinger? i dunno.

I’ve slowed down now… oh, no…no I bought one last week….

I wish basses would obey me 🤣

So a good few weeks ago, I asked on basschat if anyone local to Blackburn fancied a gig. @Dankologyand @mr zed got in touch, so we had our lineup! We managed to run it ourselves - Andy/Waking Day brought their lovely PA Yousef/Dead Tenant brought lights and monitors/cameras (very posh) we brought drums/bass rig. All ran impressively smoothly - sound was great. Weather was a bit overcast, but I’d say 100-130 people passed through in a big tent. Absolutely loved both bands - Great use of Bass VI/Jazz by Yousef - some gorgeous chords and lovely songs. Andy and Waking day are just a slick unit - all played so well - Sadowsky Will Lee sounding mega. A great day was had by all!

I’m out. just played at an outdoor do in Blackburn. was an absolute hoot.

Nah, graphite rods. and not rare. they crop up every couple of months. I’ve had one - nice. But not £700

And the badgers got £15 🤣

Well… Thanks to @Machines and @TheRev Here it is…

I follow them on Instagram and they’re massively variable… there was another chap (uk based) I followed but he seems to have gone very quiet

Spitfire does, but they’re mega expensive

That would be ever so lovely… I will cover postage and a donation to a Charity of your choice x

I like them, I like twiddling and titling them…I mess with mine too much…

This is on way. 1991 SB310 - need to sort knobs

Another seamless deal with Ian - Shipped a Compressor to me after I placed a wanted ad. Heroic. we talk regularly anyhow, but makes a difference when you’re buying gear and you know it’s going to be top notch.

Thought that might be the case! Lovely stuff - it looks well for 31 years old
