Strangest time I was recognised was at Hamburg Airport, by The Macc Lads of all people - we were playing the same venue that evening.

I`ll have to make the effort to come and see you goth chaps, @Clarky & @BigRedX, you`re doing some pretty decent gigs/venues.

Things like: Where was it I saw you last, followed by, is that where you come from or are you local to this venue Elaborate about the headlining band that eve You doing Rebellion this year I`d usually get something from that that made it look like I had some form of clue about who I was chatting to. I find once I know someones name I can link them to things, Gary from Luton, Pam & Darren of Manchester etc.

That happened to me a lot in Knock Off as I’ve a dreadful memory for faces. First few time’s was embarrassing, I then developed certain questions to bluff my way out of it. No, who the feck are you wasn’t one of them 🤣

I think my experiences were that I worked with Simon Cowell before Simon Cowell had been invented, for example people saying "you`ve got to wear this" "you`ve got to stand on stage like this" "you can`t say that through the mic" all that rubbish. I wouldn`t mind too much but one of the bands was a punk band, that all seemed far too much like conforming to me.

1991, since 1987 I’d been in two bands in no succession with guys who were desperate to make it, all that showed me was music was my hobby, what I did for fun and that I had no intention of making it my day job.

Shame, would have loved to see adjustable drive/distortion/whatever people want to call it on a Bass Driver which doesn`t affect the overall volume, similar to that which is on Ampegs SCR-DI. The Ampeg is a great pedal but it`s not as good soundwise - imo - as a Sansamp.

Very fine idea, that

Well I haven’t got a current one and have no desire for a new one, I far prefer basses.

I’m pretty sorted at present, got all the gear I need (and in true Basschat style obviously much more as well).

I was fortunate enough to be at that gig @PaulThePlug, awesome though it was so loud it gave my elbows hearing loss

On this eve at 10pm Thats me sorted

The Sansamp Bass Driver in particular but I’m sure many would like the feature throughout your range. I’d just love a way of increasing the drive without also increasing the volume for some songs, similar to how this can be done on Ampegs SCR-DI.

Same, I still can’t sing along singing the proper lyrics, but those instead

They were great, saw them live a couple of times, was rather taken aback at the first gig when they did a cover of George Michaels I’m Your Man.

Sansamp Bass Driver DI, it just “works”

Hanoi Rocks - All Those Wasted Years

Aged Olympic White JMJ would be awesome

Exactly, my Ampeg SCR-DI has a gain/drive control on it where the overall volume remains constant, that’s what I’d love on a Sansamp.

Providing all expenses were covered I’d do it for my salary. Imagine being able to say “ My job is being the bassist for The Rolling Stones”. Not ‘arf.

Tech21 to issue a Sansamp where when you add Gain it doesn’t increase the volume.

Freddy Mercury Auction I wouldn’t have bought him

Yep, I heard Angry on Radio 2 earlier, sounded pretty decent

Good news
