This makes no sense whatsoever! 😂

I hadn’t even considered that. Thanks!

Not sure whether this should be here, Amps and Cabs or Accessories so please move if this isn’t the place. I have a Fender Rumble 500 head (not the combo) but the zip on the case has been bust for years. Today I contacted Fender about a replacement but they said they don’t make them anymore and suggested an aftermarket option. I had a quick search and not much popped up. Just wondered if anyone else had one of these and had ever managed to find a suitable case for it?

Interesting that he had to get some made by Epiphone because Gibson can’t make bolt-on necks anymore. I do love that he’s been playing a Grabber for the Dookie songs on this tour.

I have to say I’m not really a fan and never listened to anything after Hybrid Theory so I don’t have much of an opinion, although I didn’t think the live clips I saw were great. But many of my friends are big fans and aren’t happy about it for various reasons. At the same time I have no doubt that they’ll all buy the record and the tickets once they get over it.

Personally I think that whatever level of detail emerges about this it won’t do them any harm at all. I think they’re one of those bands that are so big that the vast majority of their fans won’t care about this at all. I think more people will be bothered that they have a female singer and that she isn’t Chester than they will about her personal life. And they’ll still be playing stadiums.

I guess they realised they were missing out on all that early-2000s nostalgia money that’s flying around at the minute.

The Living End are great.

It wasn’t last night but a few weeks ago I saw Death From Above 1979 for the first time. They were touring for the 20th anniversary of ‘You’re A Woman, I’m A Machine’ which they played in full followed by some more songs. We went to the Manchester show and it was so good that when my gig got cancelled a few weeks later I went to see them again in Birmingham. The first show was one of the best I’ve seen in 25 years of going to shows. The second was just as good but it didn’t have the magic of the first time seeing them. Jesse Keeler’s bass sound is absolutely incredible. Monstrous.

Sorry, I wasn’t paying enough attention and thought it was Lozz’s post 🤦‍♂️ Thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed it and enjoy the rest of your weekend too! All good thanks mate! How about you? Hope to catch you soon!

Ah mate, I didn’t see you! Next time! Glad you enjoyed the set!

Sorry to hear that, Jack. Sounds like a nasty injury but I hope you heal well! As mentioned above, Django Reinhardt used only two fingers on his fretting hand. Tony Iommi lost the tips of some of his fingers. Rick Allen lost an arm etc. If you have the will, which it sounds like you do, then you can retrain yourself should the worst happen. But for now stay positive 💪
