[quote name='Raymondo' timestamp='1429543268' post='2752445'] I think I might have posted this before but KevB's post reminded me of this ..... I was playing my usual Saturday night gig at Route 66 in Puerto de Santiago Tenerife a few years back ...we played with our backs to the ,open,sliding doors.I noticed a little girl....no more than 5 or6 yrs old watching us along, with her toddler brother, from the street behind me.Their parents weren't far behind them so I took no more notice. When we finished our song she came up to me and said "excuse me" (in perfect English,they were a Scandinavian family) and gave me 10 cents from her purse ! The place was packed and as one all went "AAHH" it was so cute. they went on their way and we carried on playing .....I still have the 10 cents coin. [/quote] Was in there just a few weeks back Ray. Think they have recently had complaints about volume, Black Hole are now doing acoustic sets on a Friday night.

In recent times I've been impressed with all of the rehearsal spaces that we have used. Things have certainly improved. A couple of nights back I went for an audition with a band at the Practice Roomz in Stevenage. The kit was all good, room very spacious, comfortable seating and everything clean.

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1429260811' post='2749702'] I think some sort of test of this is on the cards for the hearts bash. [/quote] We did that last year, with a blind testing type set up. Can't remember the outcome now but seem to recall that I got the highest score for guessing which was maple and which was rosewood. Have to be honest though and say, it was probably more luck than judgement

My Dingwall Super P/J has one and I love it, very versatile and a huge variation in tones available. It was already fitted when I purchased the bass, so I didn't have to make a decision. Have to agree with you that it is a little confusing. I can recommend the one that I have as a very worthwhile upgrade. If it helps I could photograph the packaging that came with it.

Well done Mick, I plan on being there and looking forward to seeing you all again.

Dingwall Super PJ has satisfied my modern bass desires.

[quote name='M@23' timestamp='1428844951' post='2745132'] Lovely. If you had to choose one?! [/quote] For gigging, the white G&L, hands down. For a contented and pleasurable sigh every time I open the case, it has to be the 66. It just looks, smells and sounds so right

My first P style bass was purchased when I got back in to playing around 89/90 This Yamaha BB1200. It was my main gigging instrument for a good few years. sold on BC [url="https://flic.kr/p/s5JDQW"][/url] My next one was this Fender Deluxe, purchased new from the Bass Centre in Wapping. Still have this one. [url="https://flic.kr/p/s5JG4U"][/url] I have had quite a few others, some still with me, some moved on. 75 [url="https://flic.kr/p/r8SrNL"][/url] 66 [url="https://flic.kr/p/rNhdmU"][/url] 74 [url="https://flic.kr/p/s5Pt3H"][/url] 86 G&L SB1 [url="https://flic.kr/p/qN1Ngx"][/url] Squier [url="https://flic.kr/p/oJhYda"][/url] Dingwall Super P [url="https://flic.kr/p/nz8PAD"][/url] Home build. [url="https://flic.kr/p/fk9MrP"][/url] 87 G&L SB1 [url="https://flic.kr/p/ahrY8o"][/url] Safe to say I like a P bass

I had a full on migraine mid gig a while back, a truly horrid experience, with visual disturbance/blind spots and seriously painful headache. Standing next to the drums was truly torturous.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1428837464' post='2744997'] I threw up on the audience a few years ago. I'm not proud. [/quote] You need to tell us more Raslee, well done for doing the gig. I got hit with the norovirus a few weeks back, certainly wouldn't have wanted to be out gigging. Well maybe with a wireless receiver, so that I could have played from a seated position in the toilet

Hi Alex. Although you have posted in the right area of the forum for tutors, you may get a quicker response and certainly get seen by more chatters, if you also post in General Discussion. Hope you get sorted.

There always seems to be Devon bands looking for bass players on Lemon Rock, might be worth checking it out, if you haven't already

[quote name='HazBeen' timestamp='1428692679' post='2743916'] Lovely! [/quote] Thanks It's being gigged tonight.

A lovely and varied collection Mr Wailer
