Very nice Wayne. What's the plan for this one then?

[quote name='SteveK' post='714194' date='Jan 15 2010, 07:16 PM']Did several gigs before Christmas with a band who played Easy Livin'. Funnily enough, their whole set consisted of UH songs. They sounded pretty authentic to me. There was some geezer called Mick Box playing guitar.[/quote] So what are the Heep like these days then Steve? I did love that band back in the day and only just started listening again over the last few days.

Any of you older heads ever played Easy Livin', by Uriah Heep? I've always loved the track, but never had the opportunity to play it. At a band rehearsal the other night I suggested it, thinking that I would probably get mocked and ridiculed. Anyway they all loved it and we had a bash. I've almost got it, but there are some pretty speedy licks in there. Glad it's only a short one at two and a half minutes.

Good set of pics.

Just go for it and dig in, it will look so cool with blood dripping down the bass and you will be a hero! Jesting aside, I don't know, would using a pick be an option. Best of luck with it though. All the best Gary

Good man, chuffed for you.

Very nice. Let us know how it fared at rehearsal

Good luck, hope you get the gig. I'm involved in a new band project and last night we played a few Free numbers. Decided not to go for the obvious ones. One we tried was Travellin' in Style. It sounded brilliant, so simple, but so enjoyable.

Good to hear you are happy, long may it continue

I know it's frustrating. But nature didn't just single you out. It sucks, but there are worse things happening to an awful lot of people. Chin up. Hopefully it will be worth the wait and with all the anticipation you will enjoy it even more.

It was JPJ on Led Zepp 2 for me.

That's totally 'orrid.

looking good wayne. You didn't give me the low down on the decal installation, no prob if its one of your trade secrets Love the look of the ash trays. Really looks the part.

brightened up mine as well, thanks.

They are cracking units. Sold mine about a year ago and still miss it. Though not missing the lifting of it. Think they are 300 watts when using an extension cab. I think I got around 300 quid for mine.

This will probably seem like a strange thing to say, but a new set of strings can work wonders (if yours are in need of changing of course). The bass just seems to come alive again with a fresh set, it just seems to inspire me and everything in my bass world seems fine again.

I've done a couple of dozen gigs with mine and its been excellent. Although I have fitted wizard pick ups and a badass, the first few gigs were played with it in its original condition with the standard hardware and it all worked fine. The upgrades were money well spent and it's now a first class gigging instrument. They are a cracking bass, but I did have try a few before i found the one.

Hi James. I think Gig Gear in Harlow and Hertford do amp servicing. Machinehead in Hitchin as well, I think. Not had to use either of them yet though so can't make any recomendations. Cheers, Gary

Nice one Dave. Pleased for you. All the best, Gary

It's exactly why I've stopped attending music shows and bass gatherings. Even players who would never normally slap, seem to get possessed by the slap devil when in a room containing more than one other bassist.

nor sure it matters much when you are up against five guitards, keyboards and a loud drummer as I was at a rehearsal on tuesday night.
