For me Learning to Fly was interesting to hear only because of Guys fills thru the song live. He does seem to manage amazing little ad-lib fills when playing live. Dave

We discussed it and decided not to play GG songs in the set. Shame as he had some great Glam songs but not sure how they would go down at a gig. Personally i don't have an issue playing them as he was an integral part of that era but disgusted with what he did and there's no getting away from that. I have toyed with the idea of learning one and before we play it ask the audience if they have any issues. If not we do it and if anyone objects we dont. If we get more of a positive feedback on it i'd be ok playing it. We do Glitter Band songs tho. Dave

We go on to this but we are a 70's Glam Rock covers band and drummer played with the Glitter Band in 90's

That's quite unusual but also very very nice indeed. Dave

Now i'm sitting on the edge of my chair in a combination of curiosity and expectation. Can't wait to see what this one is. Dave

Thanks for that @Bilbo its one of my all time fav albums that i was very influenced by. I'm now able to check whether or not i was playing it properly. Dave

Cheers always good to know Dave

How is the tension on them and did they affect the neck in any way with truss adjustment ? Dave

There's def an Eric Idle thing going on there

Normally the 2 are separate for me. Most bands i play in i don't usually listen to the songs except to learn them. Once i start learning the songs i tend to get more interested in the bands other work. There are some bands i just like to get a feel for how the bassist thinks and plays to help me replicate his style live. In a nutshell the band i'm in at any one time will influence what i listen to for a bit. On the other hand my own personal choice is so varied with a lean towards Prog. Dave

I watched that few hrs ago. The Bas that cant be mentioned sounded really nice doing those older Floyd songs. It led me onto watching Roger Waters join them on stage in NYC for Set the Controls. Dave

well spotted

I better self isolate

My worry is that it spreads and i end up with more of those dots. Could this be a 2nd wave of the dot epidemic Dave

I'm a dot man myself. Its unique as far as i know. Dave

Sorry i'm still looking

I googled that and it was an eye-opener. They're still open, i haven't blinked in 15mins now Dave

Well that was news to me too and i'm 60 Dave

That's not good at all. I can totally understand and appreciate why you won't deal with BD after that. A mate's son is a Manager at GAK so i get some great discounts from him and tend to use them these days Dave

Yep i get what you mean. Read that earlier in thread. How can you guarantee against idiots with no common sense as you pointed out the FLT driver who is blind or the courier that thinks lobbing a package is better than placing a package in his van. Its one of the reasons i try to avoid shipping my gear. I would rather travel a distance to deliver or pick up if its possible. That's not always the case. Dave

I assumed the MD was the boss and not just a shop "manager". Have you had issues with BD. I'm surprised as its one of my fav bass shops to be honest. Dave

Great news. Shame they mucked you about in first place and that it takes an email to the boss to get things done. All credit to the boss of the company for sorting it out. I bet he wasn't too pleased with the staff involved. Good choice of MB amp too. All's well that ends well. Dave

Love the sound of that Hamer bass Gary. Deep and growling at same time. First time i've really heard one at the forefront in a song. Nice playing. Love it sir. Have you got effects on the bass in this song. Are you going thru an amp ? Also note the cracking T shirts you wear on your VIDS. Nice collection. Dave
