'Raiding The Rock Vault' (Las Vegas all-star show) on it's UK debut at Subterranea in London on Thursday night.... My Wife's A-Cappella group 'Academix' at Guildford Star on Friday night.... Gun/FM & Dan Reed next Wednesday night.... and 'Cloudbusting' (amazing 'Kate Bush' tribute featuring our very own Dave Roberts from thisBasschat parish) at Putney Half Moon next Sunday night!

We used that quiz team name a few weeks back too!

I always quite liked 'The Clitoris Allsorts'

I'll be interested to try/hear these. I love my new GK Legacy800 and get plenty of growl from it. I can't see how these are going to sound any better for what I personally need... I'm guessing they probably just have more overdrive on tap? Regardless, being GK, they will sound excellent - of that I have no doubt!

Sold my lovely Kramer bass to Dave. Instant payment and clear communications. Enjoy, mate!

You're all forgetting the number one rule of Basschat: "Don't talk about Ba..... " Oh dammit! Now you've made me do it....." But seriously, it's generally a fine place full of fine folks with a high tolerance level for each others musical & personal tastes. A perfect example is that, although I have no love for W*rw*ck, I did play a reasonably good one.... Once.... 😁 There, point proven.

You said earlier it was 10lb 9oz

This would however sound MUCH better sung by Peter Cetera...... it's a straight songwriting rip of the Peter Cetera & David Foster style from Chicago 16 & Chicago 17 albums!

Sounds familiar. I was in (& managed) a well known tribute for 26 years and shared the social media control with my fellow founding member. We agreed many times that, when either of us decided to call it a day, the band would fold so as not to dilute our hard earned excellent reputation or confuse venues/fans etc. If the other person still wanted to continue then the band could change its name and find a replacement member. Sadly, haven given months of notice, the day after I played my final show I was ejected from the band page & blocked.... and the band continued on with the same name. 26 years of supposed friendship & loyalty gone overnight - and this guy was even Best Man at my wedding. Oh well, seems loyalty counts for nothing.... and his speech was shite tbh! lol! I'm pleased to say that the 2 other (non-founding) band members then jumped ship leaving him having to make replacements for 3 of us. The new version now play to half the audiences and gig reports suggest they aren't anywhere near as good or authentic. Karma is a beach... especially as I'm now out doing bigger and better gigs with superior musicians & singers Onwards and upwards.... living well is the best revenge!

With thanks to @EBS_freak for the advice.... I've just made my entry into the murky world of IEMs! LD MEI1000 wireless with KZ-AS10 5-driver earpieces.... all for under £280! Looking forward to trying these at our theatre gig in a fortnight's time 🙂

I saw the fantastic 'Young Gun Silver Fox' last night at Nells (formerly The Orange) in West Kensington. Sold out show, singing and dancing audience, happy & smiling band, soulful vocals & harmonies, Fender Rhodes, funky horn section, bouncy 70's/early 80's west coast grooves and a bassist with killer tone that could be heard in a great mix - wonderful!! If you like what they now term 'yacht rock' - i.e. Hall & Oates, Michael McDonald-era Doobie Bros, Steely Dan, early Chicago, E,W&F etc then check them out!

Enjoy! Got mine a few weeks ago and LOVING it!

Sadly, it sounds to me that your issue was communication with the sender and the dimensions you paid for/failed to inform them of.... :(

Yay!!! Happy NOBD! So glad you got it back...... and looks like a beauty :) Enjoy!

That's what HE was earning...

So, the Operational Assurance team I work on at PRS has just nailed one of our (now ex-)colleagues for financial fraud and sent him to prison for 2 years! Result Naughty boy.... he won't do that again, but it proves that my team do their job well 😉 https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/exopera-house-horn-player-stole-185000-in-royalties-for-home-revamp-a4287026.html

Low action, fresh roundwound strings, heavy finger or pick attack and plenty of hi-mids. Don't scoop the mids - it may sound good in your bedroom but you'll disappear onstage. GK, Hartke & Darkglass are good amp choices....

Stanley Dee at Half Moon, Putney on Sunday night..... and then Corduroy at the Holroyd, Guildford on Fri 15th Nov. @Merton - you coming?

Thanks to my new GK endorsement I've just received one of the first GK Legacy800's to hit the UK! Can't wait to give this amp a good workout thru my 2x12. It sounded great when I demo'd it a few weeks back.... 😉 Also picked up an SKB 12x12 soft case to carry it in 🙂

The legendary Brian Downey (ex Thin Lizzy drummer) and his 'Live & Dangerous' show at Camden Underworld on Thursday night.
