Mustang Sally..................you win ! you had it worse

Wait till you've worked 39hrs in a trot at a chemical / gas plant then you'll know true tiredness. You get to a point where you are too tired to sleep and it takes you days to recover. I definitely couldn't do that these days. TOO OLD NOW. Dave

From what i understand and i'm sure there are some experts on BC that will confirm is that capacitors do have a lifespan and are one of the items on a circuit board that could eventually fail. Problem is there's no sign of wear on them. Talking about any older amps here. Dave

Excellent news. Wasn't sure you would stay with Ashdown. I guess all amp manufacturers get failed amps thru their lifetime. Good news tho. Dave

Looking forward to seeing the end result on this one. Dave

Yes i agree it doesn't make much sense. I have a gig end of this month with the punk band in a hotel starts around 8:30 till 11 ish and usually when we arrive they are still serving food from the afternoon. Once we start to set up some people start to leave and once the punk music starts we rely on dedicated fans of punk to maintain the audience. Oddly enough we have a few people travel approx 4hrs drive to see us and they stay overnight then head home in the morning. Dave

What do you think of the Sire ? They seem to get great reviews plus a mate has one now and he loves it. Dave

Cracking wee Tech 21 VT bass amp for sale on BC at £325 that looks nice. Think it just appeared this morning. What's the bass you are using ? A Sire maybe ? Dave

I've driven past it on main road from Inverness to Fraserburgh to see the lighthouse on holiday at time. I really need to visit some of those smaller villages / Towns along that coast. Dave

Its not easy motivating yourself to play when the audience just isn't there. You can look at it as a paid rehearsal which is what we do. Its a difficult one tho if it has a 2hr drive each way. Where was the venue ? Dave

Love playing SLF songs with the punk band. Some great basslines. We currently do At The Edge and Alternative Ulster and looking to add Gotta Getaway and Nobody's Hero. All songs i'd never heard before joining the punk covers band. I was never into punk back in its hey day but recognise most of the songs we do. Amazing how good some of the songs are and how much i really enjoy playing them. Some of those basslines thrown together one after the other can be quite a challenge for a fingerstyle player like myself but all good fun. Dave

The secret is to get there early before another band gets there LOL Bad news but it happens. Dave

That's not good or very nice. 2 things :- Why was it cancelled ? Why weren't you told earlier ? Dave

I just don't know how you can remember all those songs. ? Dave

Sounding good there, plus you have dancers, that's always a bonus. 👍 Dave
