I can completely sympathise with your situation. I wear my glasses on stage since a punter asked me why i always bowed to the audiance after each song? i did explain that i was trying to read the set list

Ive had the same experience. An 80's bass i was intrested in was up for silly money. I watched it go round and round for several weeks. Offered them a fair price and they agreed. I wonder sometimes if sellars not from our world just get carried away

I dont imagine theres a music retailer that isnt struggling, given the global uncertainy following DT tarrifs. The majority or gear is made in countries he's targeted and with the variety of import/export charges it must be almost impossible to predict cash flow and consumer habits. On top of that we have the cost of everyday living basics increasing, which is impacting on consumers desicions to make a purcahse. A sign of the times for sure.

A true Genius of our time.

Not long in from seeing this at the RSC in Stratford on Avon. It was one of the best live events i have ever seen. I cant reccommed it enough. The actors version of Hamlet was brilliantly deliverd to a backdrop of Radioheads Hail to the theif. That theatre is so briliant. Im lucky im only 20minutes away. If you can catch it do.

Another top night of Ska classics in a little boozer in Bromsgrove. This is just so much fun. Crap clip but you get the idea ScreenRecording_06-01-2025 10-01-51_1.mov

What a horrible place to be. I hope he has the people around him to get him through. Its good he is putting it on FB.

Super Ska gig in Birmingham. Crowd were great. My Fender Rumble filled the space and the floor rumbled. Had a great time. I just love it when the crowd are up enjoying themselves. Makes it so much more enjoyable

I dont need one of those. Every time i play is a master class in how not to play!!! I can only wish i was at that level of ability

Supergrass last wednesday. They were incredible. Great gear and great players

Quality player

A full-on sound check is becoming less of an issue for the bands I'm in. We use IEMS and Line 6 stomps or Pods, so the signal is routed through a desk, which can save the settings. Once we have set up, we rely on our ability to send the right signal to the desk. The onstage sound is the most important. Once the balance is right, the FOH is just another gain stage. If I'm using amps, I just set it for the venue size. I personally try to look at all the complementary frequencies I may be competing with and set my level where my sound won't get lost. Aside from that, there is usually someone in the audience who feels the need to tell us/ me whats not sounding right

A ledgend!

Someone needs to call the Union Guys!! Unauthorised bass playing from a guitarist! Stick to your lane Yngwie!!

This is a belting bass line. Nice harmonics. Then full-on face-tearing riffs

He's a real talent and surrounds himself with great players, notably Jason Falkner, originally from Jellyfish and Air's go-to guy.

Do you have any recommendations for an app that I can use to download song lyrics? I've used 'on song' in the past, but not for ages. I thought id start my search by asking the basschat massive to get your thoughts cheers

what a quality outfit

Second, third and fourth this. Incredible build quality and versatility

Let them keep their amps and indulge them until the light bulb moment happens. Then, they will buy a Line 6 Helix Stomp or similar. They will find a whole new world opens up for them.

I drop my wire down my back under my top like with my In Ears. Its ok

I love my NUX Might Plug Pro. It has decent amp sims for something so basic. The only wire is from the unit to the headphones. It's well worth some research. works of an App that links to your song library of choice.
