  1. All the way to Boston for a dep gig. I applaud your commitment. 😜 All credit and respect to you for stepping in like that. Its not an easy thing to do. Dave
  2. Superb Daryl. Love those kind of venues and a decent crowd too. And using a proper bass rig this time too. Happy days sir. Dave
  3. 5 week gap for us at moment. Singer is off on hols for 3 weeks renewing his vows. We gig the day after he returns so that'll be a fun night. Still it lets me enjoy all your gig reports at an nice easy pace. 😂 Dave
  4. Got to love your confidence. 😂 Hopefully it went well. Dave
  5. Had the lurgy few weeks back and it left me with a bit of a cough that is slowly going away but a bad cold does that to me these days. If i hadn't tested for it i would have sworn it was covid. Rest of the band caught it 2 weeks later with no contact from me in those 2 weeks. Seems to be doing the rounds again. Dave
  6. Very nice. Expensive basses but you sometimes get what you pay for. Dave
  7. Liking that wig. Better than my Amazon £25 one for the Glam band. That looks like a very nice bass what i can see of it. Dave
  8. Did see that one but a bit expensive at the moment. Dave
  9. WOW that was an interesting thread. Nice approach, very impressive. Dave
  10. That's an unusual looking bass. Any details welcome. Dave
  11. My last car puncture was from lost screw from a cars inner wing or cow catcher below the engine. Pop into any local garage and they'll keep a stock of them. Easy fix by yourself. Dave
  12. Your post had me searching for a 4 stringer version. 😂 A bit too much at the moment and probably doesn't fit in with a 70's Glam covers band. Dave
  13. Love that bass of yours. Dave
  14. Just noticed thats the original EMG preamp encapsulated module. Very nice indeed and far better sounding than the MEC preamp from later models. The sticker label on the bridge pick up looks like it says a Stage 1 Streamer pick up. I believe the streamer and Thumb basses had the same pick ups. Mine is the 89 model with EMG's but doesn't have the sticker label. WOW someone really needs to buy this as its one heck off a bass to play with one of the best necks i've ever played. Dave
  15. In Central Scotland gigs we even need to watch what colours we wear 😂 Dave
  16. Politics, football and personal relationships (wife / partner) should be kept out of bands at all costs. There are plenty of other stupid and ridiculous stuff we can talk about. We are very lucky that we have an ex marine on guitar and his stories keep us amused at every gig when getting dressed for the show. Some of the things those guys got up to are quite simply outrageous and ridiculous whether it was serious or just for fun amongst themselves. Don't think we have any fanatical footballing fans in the band. We do talk about motorbike racing as guitarist and myself are into bikes. We do talk s***e about guitars a lot of the time tho. 😂 Dave
  17. Looking good there Lozz. Dave
  18. Thought you'd moved away from the P basses @Lozz196 Looks like a decent crowd for you too. Nice stage set up. Plenty of space. Nice one. Dave
  19. That bass bridge thing is amazing. Wonder how it works. No longer in production but i wonder why ? Dave
  20. That sounds very interesting. Would love to know how he did it. Dave
  21. I had a Flamed Sycamore custom lined fretless 4 string back in early 80's but moved it on. Wish i had kept it. Cost me £740 new. Happy days. 😂 They do make some wonderful looking and sounding basses. Don't get much better than WAL. Dave
  22. What rig / gear were you using @WalMan. Always nice to keep us gear geeks happy. 😂 Dave
  23. Any chance you could give us some more detail of what you're doing with your IEM. ? Maybe what you use and how its all connected. I'm quite interested in going IEM for next year when we hopefully use a PA hire every gig. I might even go ampless on stage perhaps use my Mesa TT800 as a pre-amp. Dave
  24. I'm definitely considering something like this. Dave
  25. Problem with many phones is they focus on vocals and everything else fades slightly quiet during singing and come back up when vocals stop so always very wary of phone recordings. I've usually got the opposite that i cant hear myself on certain stages but on phone recordings the bass is there. Dave
