I'm guessing centre stage. Dave

It was in my youthful days and i was using fingerstyle too. Think it was a rotosound string where its just the core that goes over the saddle. I was a very aggressive player. It was an E string too.

I've only ever broken one string in 40+ yrs when i was playing. Even tho i don't carry spare strings because i have a spare bass with me it still sticks in my mind about breaking one again. Dave

Great pic and we can see what you all look like "out of stage gear". Who are you people ??? Dave

That's good news about the amp and the bass should be an easy fix i would think. Have to say i take a spare bass and amp and always have twin cabs anyway. Even my wireless if it fails i can plug straight into the receiver with a lead and still use the tuner. Dave

I'd be surprised if it was a faulty DI cable if he used the same cables with your spare amp and it sounded ok. Kinda points towards the GK. I once had a dodgy effects return socket on an amp that caused problems because it sits with the contacts made all the time and never really gets used. If you stick a jumper lead from effects send to effects return it sorts it until you can give the contacts a clean. Your amp gets a lot of use on the road too so a little bit of dust on contacts.

Wee afternoon charity event today 1-6pm with BLOCKBUSTARZ Glam covers band so home by 7:30pm Sold Out gig and dancers up for it from the word go again. The organiser wants to book us again for another charity event so we will give the discounted rate. Had a few requests to book us for birthday parties in 2024 but unfortunately our calendar for next year is filling up fairly fast. DJ that was in the venue said the feedback from everyone he spoke to was WOW just WOW what a show. He's never heard that about any other band that's played there. He's also on the club committee so that was good. All in all a great wee afternoon and we even got sandwiches and hot sausage rolls provided at break with coffee and tea. "Lubbily". Those sausage rolls sold it for me. We even got paid before we even started. How confident was the organiser altho she did see us play their for a birthday party 6mths ago. Happy Days No gig pics but here's our "ready to go" pic from the tiny changing room. Dave

Sorry to hear that Pete. Fantastic band too. Dave

Wee Vid appeared from our last BLOCKBUSTARZ Glam covers gig last Fri night. This was the 3rd song of the night. Not the best sound quality from a mobile but you get the drift. 🤩 http://www.facebook.com/dickie.decibel/videos/905130571115381?idorvanity=1017907961725565

Its great when a plan comes together. Nice one. Dave

All i can see in the pics are trainers with a white sole. You have some eyesight to make out any more than that. Dave

I think when its weather related there's not a lot you can do. You could always sue God. Dave

Great pics Pete. Dave

I'd never heard of them but google soon cleared it up. Liking this idea. So many uses. Dave

I use a decent laptop bag. Current one is made by Jeep oddly enough but its seen better days now and looking at proper gig bag of some kind. Might approach Hot Covers to see if they could make me one as they do all my amp and cab covers. Dave

ACS Custom earplugs

I'll put a ticket aside for you just in case. Dave

Think i might be a tad upset / angry at that one if i'm perfectly honest. Wouldn't have minded if i was 30mins along the road but 4hrs drive each way for a 20min slot plus all the annoyance of watching others over-run. Person in charge should do what i've witnessed at varied band shows and when their time is up he mutes the PA at the end of the song they are on. Job done. Its all very well getting paid same amount but you set yourself up for a 90 min show to get 20 mins worth. AAAAAHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!! Dave

Doesn't sound that bad to me. I've always found gigs with band change-overs always have some sort of issue and you just need to get on with it. By the sound of it that's what you did and the audience enjoyed what you do. I do appreciate and understand the guitarist thing and its been the same in almost every band i've ever been in over 40+ yrs altho my current guitarists in both bands are exceptionally well mannered and just so easy to work with. I've waited 40+ yrs to reach this point tho so stay positive and look forward to lwhat can be achieved ater in life Dave

Neither is Paisley

Glasgow Airport's not too far away Dave

She is very talented. Dave

Is it the same female singer in both bands Daryl ? Dave

Its basically just ignorance on my part. I simply wasn't aware and never really gave it much more thought. When i looked at the google map Paisley borders on Glasgow so i wasn't far away I also had no idea Paisley was Scotlands 5th largest Town / City. Every day a school day on Basschat and happy that people actually read my posts. More importantly WHY WERE YOU NOT AT MY GIG LAST NIGHT in Paisley. Dave

It annoys me when a venue books a band and then wants them to turn down lower than their TV screens. Worst i've had was a club booked us and sold out 120 tickets plus a few paid at door on the night but another club committee member decided to take a 2nd booking in the smaller hall for approx 30 people at a birthday just one door away from us. He then came into our hall and told us to turn down because the other hall couldn't hear their small portable bluetooth speaker playing background music. The members attending our event told him he should never have taken a double booking when a band was booked in main hall. He left in a huff but oddly enough during the 2nd set he was in dancing away to our Glam covers songs and had huge praise for us at the end of the night saying we will definitely be rebooking us. Unbelievable but yes we have returned and it went exceptionally well. Dave
