[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1415540412' post='2601267'] Two gigs this weekend with the Terrortones. Friday in Nottingham at the Dog House supporting Demented Are Go. Excellent gig after the somewhat luck-lustre performance last week. Made a lot of new fans and sold a decent amount of CDs etc afterwards. And then on to Derby on Saturday at the Hairy Dog. Originally when we were booked to play this gig it was supporting popular German psychobilly band Mad Sin, however their tour fell through and so found ourselves sharing the stage with the equally excellent (but unfortunately much less well known) Church Of Confidence. We played well, but the audience was only a fraction of what it would have had Mad Sin been playing. It was slightly embarrassing to see that more people had come to see us than the headliners… Still had another good evening on the merch stand, and one member of the audience left half-way through our set apparently "disgusted" at Mr Venom's performance antics… As they say: our work here is done!

[quote name='blablas' timestamp='1415057743' post='2596334'] The rest are two acoustic basses, a four string and a five string, they are standing in my living room. And then there is an old double bass thing that stands in the way somewhere in a corner in another part of my living room. .... Or do you mean the empty spaces? That's a work in progress and will be filled in due time. [/quote]said in jest matey , as in, "is that all you've got". I own 7 basses and got moaned at cos i was looking at another on ebay. Got any Ps for sale?

[quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1414335518' post='2588337'] Good news then [/quote]yus mate thanks

Cheers for that Stu, I've ordered a new set and will put them on as i have done for 30 odd years, similar to your pic

[quote name='goingdownslow' timestamp='1414323226' post='2588163'] I think he is saying it took him 5 or 6 turns on the tuner to bring the string back into tune, not 5 or 6 winds around the string post. [/quote]yea thats right, its only wound round 1 and half turns, i played it for 2 hrs last night, no issues, sounded great so 'tis a mystery

The very reason i bought my gibson, RIP Mr Bruce

Its a gibson, i reckon it heard about Jack Bruce and gave up

Where you based?

I'll try that Ahpook thanks, although the string definately hasn't slipped at the tuner end, looking again its only wound round about 1 and a half times rather than 3 times like i normally do , surely if it had slipped the end of the string wouldn't still be poked in the hole?

I spose that is possible Roland, I'm scared to use the bugger tonight in case it does it again, i was digging in quite hard but it is punk!! , out comes the P bass.

No its fine at the ball end, and the other end , thanks

[quote name='gelfin' timestamp='1414238016' post='2587357'] Oh well, here goes. [URL=http://s970.photobucket.com/user/gelfin5959/media/ColumbusJazz_zps41cc669f.jpg.html][IMG]http://i970.photobucket.com/albums/ae181/gelfin5959/ColumbusJazz_zps41cc669f.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [/quote]Nice clobber !!

Playing away merrily at a gig last night and there was this awful racket of someone playing badly out of tune , yep it was me, the D string had gone really slack, i looked at it during our break and it was about an octave too low, 5 or 6 winds on the tuner, I've had another look this morning and after tuning it up properly it seems fine, I've tugged at the string and its definately not slipping its wound round the tuner perfectly, it was professionally set up in the shop that i purchased it from . Any thoughts people? Thanks Paul

Doodlebug

"Thanks for giving us the Clap" Yea yea i know its an oldie .

[quote name='jazzyvee' timestamp='1412536596' post='2569748'] Yep that's us. At the moment we are finishing of a new album so it will be interesting to see how it is received when it's released. We are also playing at the St. Albans Arena on 25th with Maxi Priest. [/quote]hope the new album does really well Jazzy.

[quote name='M@23' timestamp='1412518739' post='2569518'] That is unreal. I had to watch a couple of other videos, shot from the crowd before I believed that actually happened. [/quote]what happened? It won't play for me

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1412510901' post='2569428'] Musical Youth :-) [/quote]aha... Pass the dutchie..

[quote name='jazzyvee' timestamp='1412492567' post='2569224'] Had a gig last night with Musical youth at the Ultimate 80's weekender at Butlins Skegness. We played really tight, great on stage and FOH sound and crowd loved the set. junior Giscombe was on before us and Bad Manners afterwards. I should have posted earlier that we were at the 80's night in Bognor Regis on Friday night. [/quote] What's your band ?
