@neepheid what was that dark blue P style bass I tried with the Lace p/up please? Should have taken a pic and forgot

Great to see you all again boys and thanks Rob for another superbly organised day.

Did the Epiphanies ever write back?

I anticipate arriving c.10.00.

Blast from the past. I have a few of their albums that I will dig out again.

What separates your band from the other bands in the areas you work in? - I'd say it's that we are an originals band and never play covers. What do you have that others don't? - Tricky to answer without sounding a bit arsy, a couple of seriously good musicians (and then me as a counterpoint). I'd like to think our songs are lyrically interesting and cover a number of styles and from the bass perspective there are not many songs without an excursion beyond the 12th fret. I know, sorry brethren. If you were pitching your band to a prospect, what would be your bast selling point. - We are very reliable. You can also add in areas where you think your band struggles. - It needs a decent bass player.

Not to forget their sister band The Trumps

Ooof, that sounds like an extreme version of the SD Quarter Pounders. My only experience of those was in a Nate Mendel P bass and to my ears it was a horrible sounding thing like being slapped around the face by harsh mids and lacking any depth or warmth. Only useable with the vol turned down and the tone backed off. Obvs YMMV but not a pleasant experience for me personally.

I'm going to check what I have knocking about in the garage at lunchtime.

I have a set of Dukes in my Jet Jazz and lovely things they are too. Great value at £65 for the set too.

Suddenly the Fodera P bass looks to be good value.

Something a bit left field but the Tonerider The Duke J set are really good and have that deep warmth you describe at c.£65.
