Two of them run on about 0.2A, so you could use a usb powerbank.

 

Cheers; I followed up a link above, and will receive a bundle of four next week, rechargeable with built-in lipo's. I'll see what they're like when I get them.

Last gig this year! 🙁

Booked back in May for a mate's 50th so a gig with a guaranteed crowd, two sets of mostly originals. Our few covers are from Tom Petty, Whitesnake, AC/DC (of course 😄), JJ Cale, Rory McLeod and T Rex.

Chris, our guitarist, found the backdrop from the band's pre @super al era so I pinned it up on the pub window curtain rail 👍🏻 Could probably do with an iron.

 

Great crowd, mostly people I've known for 20-30 years so there was definitely a good vibe. Great comments after, love the word to describe our sound from one mate - seventiesness 😂 (he was drunk).

 

Airwalk trainers on my feet, they are wearing thin on the sole so may have to retire them and just go with the various colours of converse I have in the future.

Have been using the ibanez 1205 lately but as this was an end of term gig I went with my PPI bass, the Lakland 55-02 (the swiss army knife of basses 😄).

 

It's a shame there's no more gigs in the diary but we haven't recorded any new songs in almost a year so we'll use this time productively...I hope 🙂

Great gig last night. A long long day and all for charity.

7 tribute artists across three back line bands. The event was sold out a couple of hours before doors.

Line up was Bon Jovi (Jon Bovi), Alanis Morissette, Elton John, ABBA, Elvis, David Bowie (ChangesTwoBowie) & Queen (Queenage) - plus encores from 4 of them. I played Bowie and Queen plus the encore set.

It's nice to get paid, but to have an audience go this nuts for the songs they love, I'd do it again tomorrow.

A truly remarkable ensemble who I'm honoured to have as friends.

Not sure what the final total is yet, but I'm expecting it to be lots of thousands.

 

Really nice photos.
