[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1411334121' post='2558587'] Not surprised to hear of the abuse Gary, some pillock in there tried that with me when I played there a few weeks back. My best Paddington Stare got the effect required. [/quote] May be we both got heckled by the same pillock I'm afraid my menacing stare is not convincing Lozz and would probably just result in me getting a wallop

Thanks Mr. Castle, will do that.

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1411327205' post='2558492'] That is totally out of order. Really sorry to hear that Gary. [/quote]. thanks Rich. Goes with the territory , I think. Does sting a bit sometimes though.

[quote name='Oopsdabassist' timestamp='1411323313' post='2558434'] The White Hart? Man that was my main stomping ground way back in.....OMG in the 70's.....I feel old It must have changed in there, there was never room to get a band in. [/quote] Don't think it has changed the band area is quite bijou I feel old as well mate, especially after last night when one of the drunken punters gave me abuse concerning my age.

Yes, speakons.

One of the input sockets on my Mark Bass 2 x 10" has failed. Not a huge problem because there are two inputs but I would prefer to fix it. I've had a look inside, expecting to find a failed solder joint/loose cable but there is nowt visibly wrong. So, any ideas as to the likely cause please?

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1411301860' post='2558220'] That is a really extreme response isn't it? It surprising that the landlord doesn't warn the act he books. [/quote] Rich, I don't think he was worried, as most of them were facing him and ordering drinks.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1411297058' post='2558173'] Agree, I depped for a rock-covers band in there and it was largely met in silence - and it wasn`t cos of my playing, apparently it`s always like that in there. Obviously not a rockers pub (unlike in the day when it was known as Fraggle Rock due to the odd multi-coloured haircuts that went in there, myself being one of them). [/quote] It caught us by surprise last night, we were playing some disco stuff and had the whole of the main floor area full of dancers, next up was Plug in Baby by Muse, by the time we got to the first chorus the floor had cleared and just about everyone had turned their backs on us. the set list will need a tweak before our November visit.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1411281638' post='2558027'] Couldn`t make it in the end Gary, sorry `bout that, had band stuff to do. Hope all went well. [/quote] No worries Lozz, maybe next time. We had a good night, they like their soul, disco and dance in there. Some of our more rock numbers not so well received.

That is rather lovely.

Nice one Nige, just been and checked out her site.

I've not yet had the Sunday afternoon experience. Given that I'm exhausted all day following a Saturday night gig, I'm hoping that none of my band mates suggest it really.

Come on John, get your act together

If I need to then, I slacken the strings and loosen the screws enough to allow a little bit of a tilt.

[quote name='Sean' timestamp='1410890039' post='2554411'] That's what I thought but it smells a bit like sofa sales on TV. There was something for sale on here earlier this year that had the price lowered for the weekend only. If I'd have offered that price at 8am on the Monday morning would I have been too late? [/quote] I did the very same a couple of weeks back with my 70's Fender P. I made the decision to go with that approach due to a set of conditions concerning another instrument that I fancied buying. It didn't work out and my price reverted back to the pre offer figure. So yes, if you had offered that price at 8 am on the Monday morning, you would have been too late.

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1410815245' post='2553587'] I have to say, Lozz, you won't regret the journey. DefunkT are a good band. I've seen them a few times and they give a good evenings entertainment. IMHO of course [/quote] Thanks Richard, however, we should warn Lozz that we are really not very Punk. You Ok Richard? I've pm'd you a couple of times.
