Exciting night by sounds of it. I always feel uncomfortable when someone is overly drunk and i'm just waiting for something to happen. Dave

Sorry to hear that @12stringbassist. Can only hope things pick up for you mate. Take care. You've always got us lot to keep you cheered up a bit. Dave

They sound great Daryl, will keep an eye out for them. Might check them out more on Youtube and possibly buy a CD if available. Dave

100% this. I personally think you will be a great match for this fundraiser. Great musicians, easy to listen to vocalist. What's not to enjoy. Enjoy and have fun with it Daryl. @Bluewine. Dave

Mine only does portrait and landscape ............. i think

This is all way above my head. I'm one of the thicko's that just shoot in portrait until someone explains it all to me. I have no idea what SQUARE sensors are. ? I'm on my first smart phone. Dave

I'll just delete the posts with the links as its obviously not working. Thanks for letting me know. Dave

i put it on the earlier post but copied here again just for you. VID not working - DELETED

That is an odd bass set up right enough. Dave

Yours sounded about the correct tempo. It was @Woodinblack i was talking about tempo being fast with his. Dave

Shared it to my own FB page see if it works now guys. Failing that i'll delete it completely. Dave

It is and i can't change it so i'm gonna delete it. Sorry guys. Dave

That speed brings back some fond memories. I liked it at that speed. Dave

Just had a wee look at the link and that's a great version he does. I think i'm pretty close to what he's doing altho playing down the neck a bit. Love the tone he has in that clip. Maybe i need a Ric bass Dave

I remember ours used to do that and we spent a bit of time slowing it down to correct tempo. Its so easy to let it run fast on you. Great for the bass when it does. I found it easier to play at a slightly faster speed. Dave

EDITED as vid is from a friends FB page and can't be seen by anyone. Sorry guys. Dave Try this one see if shows. Shared to my own page ? http://www.facebook.com/100001392556773/videos/1043943584404803

That's approx where i play Sat Night altho i do it all on the lower end of the neck up to 5th fret apart from first intro riff but basically the same. I do tend to throw in a few more 8ths during the chorus and especially the solos to fill it out a bit with just having one guitarist and no keys. Dave

What amp are you using with the Aggie cabs ? Have to say that's about the speed we play it too altho originally we did it faster but guitarists were having trouble doing the solos. Think this is about the correct tempo tho. I always feel its dragging a little when playing it. Dave

Nice deep bass tone there. Love it. Dave.

Last nights gig with Emergency Exit punk covers was at The Riverside in Dumfries. The band has been playing this venue for 7yrs now (3yrs with me) but unfortunately due to noise complaints from locals that moved in recently the venue has suffered from noise complaints and the owner Ann has finally had enough and has decided to retire so i think that will be the end of live bands in this venue. She retires next week so we were privileged to be asked to play for her. Sad moment but she had been to court so many times in past 2 yrs with it and won because she was putting live music on before these people moved in. Decent turn out and very enthusiastic dancing around the bar and conservatory areas. 1hr drive home so that was easy too. Guitarist had a senior moment when he started Teenage Kicks in Db instead of D and he just couldn't get out of it and it was a disaster moment but we just made a joke of it and the audience appreciated its live music and sometimes we have senior moments. We did cut it short tho. Band has a meeting this Thursday to see if we want to continue doing the punk covers band as venues that will accept punk are becoming less and less and the audiences are dwindling from 3 yrs ago. Its odd because any time we play we get a great response from all generations and age groups. Original member from 78 is doing a Ramones tribute too and is thinking its maybe time to call it a day. I'm 50/50 on it mainly because i like the people in the band and i really quite enjoy playing the songs. They have a lot of energy especially the SLF songs which have become my fav songs in the set. Will see how it goes. Dave

Few catchy hits for me but just not my kind of music. No doubting their popularity tho. Same with Blur. Dave

4 gigs on a trot must be hard on the wee fingers. I'd really struggle with that. I struggle 2 days in a row. All credit to you. Dave

You have quite an unusual RH technique. Very light touch which probably helps to give that nice warm rounded deep tone. Very nice indeed. Great choice in music too. Dave

That was a brilliant thread @ped. What an amazing range of tones from your choice of pick ups. The Bridge pick up reminded me of an EB3 Andy Frazer sound and then you moved into a more mellow P sound and no actives to help. Love it. Dave

I'm assuming those aren't the original pick ups ? Dave
