Vouchers for their fav bass shop or possibly Strings Direct. ? Dave

Love it. Looks like a very very nice area. Hopefully we'll get some snow this year. Been a def lack of it over past few yrs. I do love a nice snow scene provided i don't really need to go out in it. Dave Dave

Cannae beat a good Prog song in a Blues band. Dave too early ????

Is the snow that bad in Wales. ? Hot chocolate with cream is in order i reckon. Dave

Such sad news to hear this today. I've had many conversations with him over my time on BC. Condolences to the family and friends. Our thoughts are with them on this sad day. Dave
-
Well done and now that you've got the live bug you'll just want more and more gigs under your belt. Dave
-
Mad but such a great feeling for us to be part of it. This is my fav thread in a long long time. Dave

Wasn't sure where to post this but i have a set of Trace Elliot cuff links and pin badge in a presentation box if anyone wants them. I'm not really a big fan of TE but they were given to me by a famous drummer that had no use for them. He just seemed to collect a lot of this stuff during his travels. If anyone interested give me a shout, send your address and i'll post them to you. I had to put a £1 value in the box to post on here but they are free. Dave

You have some really interesting gigs @Boodang Dave

Aha i see what you mean now. I did say i was old and slow Ach not at all, i'm just a nice calm auld fella that plays bass. Its a Mesa TT800 and SVT7 both lightweight both pinky lifts but all those visits to the gym over past 3-4yrs are paying off after all. Cabs are both lightweight too at 20Kg each. One in each hand load ins. Dave

Not sure what you mean but i'm guessing there is an element of fun and sarcasm.. Being old these days, sometimes i'm a bit slow on the joke uptake. Dave
-
Nice rig there. 👍 Dave

The only amp i've had that failed in over 40+ yrs of playing was an Ampeg SVT4 Pro that kept cutting out with intermittent faults. This was found to be poor soldering joints around the valve bases that was an easy fix for a decent tech but i lost faith in it. It never actually failed completely during a gig tho. Dave
-
I used to always carry a small 300W Markbass head in my bag. Nowadays i use my Ampeg SVT7 as a back up for my Mesa.
-
At 64 i expect i'll be in that position in a few yrs too but i'll probably keep some of my gear just for sentimental reasons and i enjoy a bit of playing at home. Dave
-
And no better cause than for one of our own family too. Dave
-
As others have already said "when you know, you know". Hopefully you'll stay in touch thru our wee BC family. All the very best in whatever you do now. Dave

Your best (and worst!) bass gear purchases of 2024?
dmccombe7 replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
Not that i buy a lot of gear but here goes. Best :- Mesa TT800 (many will know how long i've waited for this amp and it certainly hasn't disappointed) Close 2nds :- Godin Shifter Classic from our very own @theplumber and from our very own @walshy a Pinegrove 4" bass strap with Levy wireless pouch that is so comfy over a 2-3hr gig. Worst :- nothing this year i'm afraid. Dave -
Superb. So proud of our BC family. Dave

My attitude to the set list is to keep it fresh by adding a few new numbers every 6mths but also to make sure we replace songs in the set and don't just add songs onto the existing set list. The punk band seems to be missing that drive to rehearse the new songs enough that they are up to scratch whereas the Glam band would book rehearsals to get the songs done properly. Its an odd one as we have the same drummer, bass and vocalist in both bands. ? Dave
