Amazing the number of Xmas songs we've had over the years. Some real crackers i've never heard too. Dave

Trolling isn't appreciated on BC

Doesn't come across as tongue in cheek. perhaps you are looking at the wrong threads

Then why comment

So nice. Really enjoyed that version of No Quarter. I'm not a huge fan of LZ but liked that. Here's a band i saw cover Zep song many moons ago

Ach ye cannae beat a wee bit of the Rollers. We do a couple of their songs in our 70's Glam covers band and they always go down well with the ladies. Have to admit i bought a couple of their singles in early 70's when i was 12ish Ahh the good old days. Dave

You mean this. I didn't get this last post. I had Highway Star and War Pigs when i watched it. Not heard Dio doing this and i'm a bit of a Dio fan too. Liking it @mcdaddy Dave

Wasn't a criticism there @casapete. CDB was a bit of an acquired taste back in his earlier days and i can understand why people can't take to his voice.

I really like the Chris De Burgh song.

Nice song

Please keep us posted on release dates.

Not a Xmas song or am i missing something here

My fav U2 song. Love playing that song. Dave

Nice. Another one i've never heard.

Someone sent me this Xmas song. Not sure if will be allowed. Lyrics are a bit crude. Moderators discretion. Its Kevin Bl**dy Wilson

That's a new one on me. Nice.👍

I love all the Xmas hits we've had over the years and wondered what everyone's favourite song was for Xmas. I'll start with mine. Just makes me feel good every time i hear it.

Heart Barracuda 76

Not really liking them to be honest but i'm not a fan of aged basses unless very subtle. Dave

You could do the gig and near the end of the set announce that this will be your last gig as the band decided to sack you 2 weeks ago but you didn't want to disappoint people that had bought tickets. Makes you look good and them look like the bunch of T****rs they are. Dave

My 89 Thumb NT has EMG's. The pre-amp module failed few yrs ago and the only available option from Warwick was to fit the MEC pre-amp. I can't hear any difference. I had the work completed by luthier Chris McIntyre who came highly recommended. He was 1st class altho he won't deal directly with Warwick after he had a big falling out with them over parts and prices. Spot on about the necks and playability. One of the nicest basses i've ever played. It would take a lot of coaxing for me to sell mine. Had it since new. Dave

Think that is actually a valid point worth considering. Its not just the band that would be let down, its the organisers and those that have bought tickets. Hadn't really looked at it that way. If i was to do the gig i would as always give it my all as the audience were not the ones that did the dirty on you. An interesting viewpoint that would make me think twice about it. Dave

I remember that post as well. Didn't realise it was same band. I def couldn't work with that kind of attitude / behaviour and that would have been the deciding factor on me leaving a band. For me playing in bands is mainly for fun. Sure the money is a bonus but if i'm not enjoying working with people then its no longer fun and what's the point ? Why put yourself thru that.

Wouldn't be something silly like active / passive switch in wrong place ? Just trying to throw in some suggestions. I'm not a big fan of Ashdown to be honest. Always found them a little bland. The only one i liked was a Spyder version that had a great tone thru an Ampeg 810. Can't remember what the volume setting was like tho as it was a rehearsal room. Tone was fantastic but not a lot of variation on it was its only downside. Dave

If its a 600w into 8 ohms its probably putting out a lot less maybe around 300W. If you add another 8ohm cab you'll get that full on 600W power. Or use a 4 ohm cab. Pretty sure i played that venue back in 80's during a wee mini tour. Dave
