I've slept in Caitlin's bed, but she wasn't in it, lol.

PiL tribute band?

I've got a few mates that I'd have liked to have sent round to 'collect' it.

Not for me sorry, either add a scratch plate, design a proper control plate or rear route it.

Self adhesive laser cut is the answer! I don't mind a control plate and no scratch plate is just the V in the end where it's missing looks odd, don't know why they don't just make a new design to suit.

No one going to mention the jazz control plate with no scratch plate, always wrong!

That was actually going to be my post! It's where stuff too crap for even the nearest rehearsal studio went to die.

Looks like a jumble sale.

Yeah Tokai did, lol.

Normally something massive and expensive about to topple off a couple of Barefaced cabs, sometimes with two different sized cabs with the badges pointing in different directions to really get the OCD twitching!

If you've been near a Mark Bass stand at a show you'll know that this is their target audience, if you haven't got time to log in and watch just throw your cutlery draw down the stairs and you'll have covered most of the acts.

Sadly if gigging was my main profession I'd be looking at recruitment agencies rather than entertainment ones 😪

I'm surprised any agencies are still in business after this year!

The gigs I've attended as a guest where high standard highly paid mixed gender bands performed were "across the UK". If you're with an agency that sounds like they specialise in same gender indie bands then that's not a surprise, you'd need the stats from across all gigs and agencies to know what's most popular, of course if you're a scruffy all male indie band then you're probably already with the right agency and you need another scruffy front man!

I haven't seen a high end wedding/function band for years that wasn't mixed gender, getting paying gigs for all male scruffy indie/rock bands got so difficult around here that ours disbanded! I've since only been in mixed gender groups.

I'm not sure I've seen that?!

If I had some actual gigs and some spare cash I'd look out for a Funk 5 in sparkle silver.

I think his best live stuff has been on the Modulus basses.

That's because the decent PA speakers are able to do both rather than either or. Come to one of our gigs and unless it comes out of the PA cabs you won't hear it, bass amp went a while ago, monitor wedges about a year later, guitar amp went the end of last year. The guitarist spent thousands on acoustic guitar amps and various special di boxes, during lockdown he tried his acoustic guitar through his Helix pedal board and a 1x10 powered cab, turned out to be the best sound he's ever had!

I've got two 735s , the actual high end bass rig got sold about three months after they arrived!

I see there's understandably quite a few people with matching guitars to the basses we know people for......

I was going to start wheeling out the puns about grass roots and sowing the seeds for new musical projects but I'll get a handle on myself.

I managed 30 seconds, as you were.

Tbf that's more than give for one,lol 🤣
