    We don't play Oasis We don't play Dakota We don't play Sex on Fire We don't play Mr Brightside I think that sets us apart 😂 What we do play is 60s and 70s stuff that you will have likely heard of but that other bands don't do. Rock, prog and pop. We like doing stuff that is technically challenging and stuff that you wouldn't think a trio could do. That, and the guitar/vocalist has a great line in banter and amuses & entertains the audience. It's a lovely combination and I feel so lucky to be a part of it. I've been in bands with him for 40 years now

    I think the main distinction between us and other local bands is the gregarious personality of our band leader and her husband. They're both really good at working a crowd. Daryl

    Handbox R400 & Handbox 1x12 Cab Bought these a couple of years back from Sims Guitars, it was their Handbox demo rig. The amp has been recently serviced and there are a couple of small nicks in the cab tolex from gigging. Handbox Cab is a 1 x 12" Ferrite (Eminence Speaker) 250W/80hm Selling as we're moving house and down-sizing so I'm selling off my gig rig as moving means leaving my band too 😥 I want to sell this as a rig and not split them. Possible courier delivery or happy to do a meet up

    I love a bit of Beck. Such a variety of styles and moods. My favourite album (this week) is The Information - some great grooves. I had the start of Minus as my ring tone for a while

    Spent a loooong evening with two mates. Was expecting to try out my baselines to a few of their songs but ended up laying down four tracks in garageband. Then I recorded bass, rhythm and lead for one of my own songs while lyrics were written for it! A drummer is lined up too!

    I should mention that for a while I have had an issue with my playing my LT5 recently. Both standing up at gigs and sitting down practicing. It was like I was constantly fighting against the bass and could not get comfortable with it... honestly it was exhausting. I think this was probably due to my body and generally being exhausted from being a dad to a toddler and a bass player that has spent twenty plus years in vans and tour busses (it seems since I turned 40 it's all been catching up with me physically) Anyway... I switched the strap around from a Mono padded one with dunlop straplocks to a wide leather Levy one with just rubber strap stoppers. Couldn't believe the difference, don't know if itsbetter weight distribution or if the strap not being on straplocks has slightly shifted they way the bass hands on my body. Played a wedding gig on Saturday. Felt absolutely fine all gig. Only downside was I picked up a bloody virus at it!

    Back in the 80s I would view the big powerful Trace Elliot heads as the true Rolls Royce of bass amps. I view this as the modern day equivalent.

    At the very budget end of things my Stagg EUB has a headphone socket. It is very much a stick bass, but does have brackets that loosely approximate the shape of a DB. I love playing it when we do "acoustic" gigs. https://www.normans.co.uk/products/stagg-edb-3-4-bk-3-4-size-electric-double-bass-in-black?variant=40045424378056&srsltid=AfmBOopvovqKKRWHQtIFtmL9xwJj7Ez_ho5SirrqDcLe511xkGl6H5nN_rA

    Yeah I know that issue of the string being too close to the pickup. It's not that unfortunately but westside distribution are being very accommodating and swapping the sets for me, so all on course to be sorted.

    Our drummer went to that gig, his mate was playing in Folk'd About. He was also checking out the venue as we're playing there this Friday. That is a very cool pose, I have hat envy too!

    I'm not sure about where Hartke is stocked but they are distributed by Hal Leonard here and it seems they have their own online store which I think might be called musicroom, could be wrong or it could maybe have been part of Samson Tech. I am a Hartke artist and I think my rig came from somewhere within the UK, when I needed a replacement amp they shipped it to me within 24 hours (turned out it was just the valve going)! Great amps and cabs. Really reliable (even with the dodgy tube it still sounded fine). The clarity is incredible, great for live gigs and I never feel the need to engage the tweeter to get the definition.

    Well our current album is The Seven Legged Groove Machine because at the time we were a 4-piece and the singer had recently had a motorcycle accident resulting in the lower half of his right leg being amputated. We’re now a 5-piece so the latest guy in worries about both legs. But in the areas we work in, well for some reason we’re on the psychobilly scene even though we’re more of a garage punk band, so our USP (and is on our merch) is The Spacewasters, Not Psychobilly Enough.

    Excellent Rat based distortion with a 2 band eq, one of my favourites.

    This is very true, but you need a starting point. I get instrumental and vocal sounds in the ball park individually and then make final adjustments with the whole band playing.

    What separates your band from the other bands in the areas you work in ? What do you have that others don't ? If you were pitching your band to a prospect, what would be your bast selling point. You can also add in areas where you think your band struggles. Daryl

    I think that if we carry on improving at this rate we will be within touching distance distance of being mediocre! We have a name… Premium Economy!!!

    I’ve definitely never loosened the DI cable of a fellow band member so that their already-too-loud amp didn’t also get fed into the PA, and I most certainly never pushed the plug back in again at the end of the last set so that they didn’t know anything had happened. But seriously, if matey gets wind that his settings have been messed with, there will be tears before bedtime.
