Dee Murray (original Elton John band)

Sold my Ampeg pedal to Nik. Quick and easy, no fuss transaction as always. Recommended!

I bought an SKB shallow rack from @Chimike

Knocking On Heaven's Door saps my will to live...

The Classic does dive a little, but nothing that a decent strap or a lighter set of hipshots wouldn't sort. Diff preamp in the Classic too. The EMG BTS. I love both the LX and the Classic.... and both the BTS and the Tonepump. It's really down to personal choice.

Could be worse. You could have to play Sex On Fire & Mr Brightside....

And not to forget, in the same song.... "Last night I dreamt of some Pedro"

The Grand Hotel in Eastbourne with a function band. We play there every year in the ballroom for a ticketed guests only NYE event. 90 min drive. Arrive around 5pm, set up my mini-rig with a couple of basses on a double stand. Eat the same posh dinner as the guests, fresh coffee and a glass of something. Put on my dinner jacket and play a 2hr set from 10.30pm - 12.30am then pack down and drive home. Good pay, nice place and better than being at home watching Jools Holland. Only downside is the 'jazz quartet' who play easy listening standards while the guests are having dinner. The stage is tiny and they insist on moving all our stuff around and just generally being a pain in the a**e to all concerned....

You can buy my Tech21 Dug preamp for full price. I WILL reply....

The melodic bass stylings of the fantastic Dieter Horns with Lucifer's Friend. 💜

To paraphrase.... "They make these things called scissors. You apply them to the kind of fabric you would like your jacket to be, cut according to the pattern in the size and shape you would like it to be. Then you apply this oldfangled technology called "needle and thread" to your fabric pieces and hey presto you have a jacket." I hope this helps. And remember..... "Someone who knows how to sew shouldn't now complain about being given helpful advice after they complain about not being able to buy the jacket they want before some other fashionista snaffles it" You're welcome.

Sold my Compressor pedal to Riki. Prompt payment and clear comms. Thanks.

No. 9v is fine.

The attack of my pick, with active EMG pickups..... Preferably on a Spector to complete the package.

Like being homeless? IBTCL (In before the 'Cruella' lock)🤣

Simply Dan (Steely Dan tribute) in Wokingham next Friday then Extreme/Living Colour at the Kentish Town Forum in early December.

At that price I'd look for a used Genz Benz Nx 212. A full range cab, usually around the £350 mark and 600W at 4ohms. I swear by them and have ab'd mine against other more boutique/expensive 2x12's and imho it sounds better. I even cancelled my order for a Barefaced equivalent when I had the chance to play them alongside each other.... They come up for sale here occasionally. Here's the most recent one...

Big thanks to Colin (Hamster) for his organisation and securing the venue and Guy Pratt, his lovely wife Sarah for the refreshments, Trev and Mick for organising Lol Cottle, Barry Moorhouse and some raffle prizes....... and all of you for attending, donating raffle prizes and generously sharing in the spirit of the event and helping to raise lots of money for charity!

Unhelpful, unasked for, advice. Please refrain from offering any more of it.

Cheers for that. Just the kind of unhelpful, sarcastic, smartarse comment I expected...
