Cheers for that. I did read that hockey puks work as isolators but not tried them. Dave

What's the orange mat you have the cab sitting on. ? Is it for stage isolation like the Gramma pads ? If so does it work ok and where did you get it. I have a gramma pad but my stacked cabs wobble a fair bit on it and was looking for other options. Dave

I'll check that model out. Is it a direct replacement for the standard P one. ? Dave

Are you just Dan Veall or Dan Bassist Veall on FB ? Dave

OK i would never have got that. I'm thinking something more substantial like the fender hi-mass or i think Hipshot versions look good. Dave

OK a dafty question here but what is BBOT ? I know its probably obvious once someone tells me but its just not coming to me at all and its mid afternoon so no early morning brain fade excuses Dave

Handy to know as i'm looking to replace the bridge and tuners on my vintera P bass. E tuner is very grindy and tight when fully tuned. Others are OK. I was looking to put a drop D tuner on too. With regards the bridge i'm finding the saddles are dropping when i play for extended periods. I've put some loctite on the saddle screws at moment until i replace the bridge. Think i'll avoid Wilkinson by sounds of this thread. Dave

Started this morning with the Bergantino B-amp review from Youtube shared to my FB page and i'll see how else i can get it out there Dan. Dave

Will make a conscious effort to share your vids. I'm always looking at gear and i always enjoy your reviews so it should be easy enough to start things moving. Dave

What's the best way to share Dan. I normally would share them on my FB page but open to any other options that can help. Dave

Of course we care. BC is a family. I'm good to help any way i can. Dave

Actually have a few weekends off from playing while singer on hols. Gives me time to catch up on my chores and other hobbies. Dave

No its not so big in Scotland altho i have a few friends that never miss it. Dave

I'm considering fitting one to my P bass as i only use the drop D for Into the Valley by The Skids. The tuning peg on the E string is very tight too and even tho i've stripped it and greased any moving parts its still the same when tuned up. The other pegs are fine so don't know what's going on with it. Dave

aye me too. Dave

Don't be going daft with my pics now that you've mastered it Dave

100% agree but don't "bass" it on one gig. Dave

Maybe over-thinking it a bit. Try and accept it as a paid rehearsal. Sometimes other things happen, maybe another event on locally. Do the next gig 20 mins away and see how that goes. Sounds like you've put a fair bit of work into this band and i dont hear any complaints from you about the band and its members so i'm guessing all good in that department. Not easy finding good guys to work with so stick with it a while longer. We all have "down days", its part of being in a band. Let it pass and get back out there with a positive can do attitude and all will be well in "The Shire" again. 👍 Dave

I sometimes get that feeling too but then i ask myself what else would i do at weekends and would i miss it. Audiences in some venues haven't quite come back after pandemic so i'd give it a bit more time. You may have it unlucky that your friends had something else on. We've been caught out that way with the Punk covers band when a major punk band was playing round the corner ........... literally and everyone was there. It was a last minute gig they booked and it was too late for us to change the gig. We played to a handful of people but we just treat it as a paid rehearsal. Try and stay positive and give it a little more time for people to start going out again. Fri nights can be odd gigs too as i have my own theory that many people can only afford to go out one night a week if even that and a Sat night suits them better. Do you enjoy playing with this band and do you get along with them all. If the answer is yes then stick with it a while longer. Dave

Nice one hope you feel ok. Dave

Does anyone have a pic of the Shuker. Might help to motivate us all. Dave

Is Dan ok with us doing this. Wouldn't like him to be offended in any way. Dave

Nice looking bass there. Dave

Ouch !!!! i'm only 31. its the Scottish sun that's bleached the blondeness out of my hair Dave
