  1. I have 3 “bands/projects” that I am involved with. All have a band leader that makes decisions but is open to band input. All 3 BL’s I respect as musicians and people that I trust and respect. I also feel trusted and respected. Definitely my preference. I’ve just started a new project, inviting 3 other musicians to join. I’ve set out expectations from the start when asking if they’d like to join, they all said yes. I like clarity, it tends to give me more freedom to be creative. Absolute democracy in bands (in my experience) has lead to paralysis and frustration.
  2. Gibsons’ QC budget? Ric’s PR budget? Fenders RD budget? My budget? My budgie? My budgie smugglers’ Oh Lord that last coffee was strooong sorry.
  3. Give the P to me Chris. That way you’ll truly know if you made a mistake or not. All the effort you’ll put in to ask for it back, to no avail, will serve as a useful life lesson. I’m your true friend here. You know my address, I’ll print the label. You’re welcome mate. St John
  4. Well that was underwhelming. Thought he set it up for some juicy goss… Basically he wants crowd funding for a Wal.
  5. Never Ever take your double bass into the shower with you! I’ll not make that mistake again.
  6. The north east has produced some canny rock singers.
  7. Thanks for the heads up on that @peteb I’ve not heard it. That’ll be tonight’s Apple Music listen 👍🏻😎
  8. I see them a little differently now. Rodger’s is a little subtler, definitely my favourite blues singer, whereas DC is my favourite “belter”. Wish I could sing like either. Agree about the early whitesnake, proper rawk
  9. Burn. My introduction to DP. Up till then I though Paul Rogers was the best rock singer I’d heard. Coverdale blew me away on that track. Hughes’ contribution was an eye opener too. Paice is a bundle of energy. As an aside, Come Taste The Band is my favourite DP album.
  10. Excellent condition little micro fretless bass. Does a great upright impression as well as it’s own range of tones. Bought it for a recording project, now no longer needed. Great for practice, gigging or pretending you’re a giant. Here’s Nathan to explain some things Can courier for a £10, just need to source packing materials. can meet up around Bath, Bristol or occasionally down in Poole or en route.
  11. Lovely basses, good price too. You're far enough away for me to be safe. GLWTS
  12. Sorry Paul, my brother’s picking it up for me this weekend.
  13. Really enjoyed that. What I didn’t enjoy was the gas it induced. I now want a jazz bass to slap to b@ggery. I have no need for one and no context in which to”slappy da bass”, but boy I’ve now got an itch that only a tube of JB and rounds will sate. 😳
  14. I would love it, but I’m practicing restraint for the new year. I’m calling it Miserable January. GLWTS 😭
