[quote name='andrewrx7' timestamp='1335618192' post='1633770'] Bizarre one this...usually get told to turn down, but the place last night kept saying louder...can't imagine how the guys standing in front of us were actually enjoying it! But it was what they (and the landlord!!) wanted! [/quote] I want a gig there!!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1335617459' post='1633761'] I quit my current band... I bet they haven't bloody noticed yet. [/quote] Class! .....sheer Class

Blimey Lozz, thats a tale and a half...and so nearly mirrors mine, Gig in MK, Drummer works near Gatwick, left work at 4.30, rolls up at 8.50 slightly stressed! We throw kit and PA together in 10 mins flat and are running by 9.15, small hiccup after song 1 as hi-hat was put together wrong hammered thru until 11.30 to a small, but appreciative bunch of punters and a repeat booking, cant say fairer than that. Friday night gigs are turning into real PITA's though, unless drummer takes a half day off

I think it looks gorgeous, much better than the gold one! Love those pickups!

*Jack* dya know this monitor is on me foot? *Clarky* you hum it son, I'll busk it!

*Jack* I wish that dude in the check shirt would stop staring at me, I keep forgetting what key we're in.

*mcdaddy* how can I tune this thing? there's too many strings!!

Planet Rock...or ermmm....Planet Rock!

Oooh Moonmadness and that lovely repetitive bass riff on Lunar Sea at the end!! My fave camel album by far

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1335094699' post='1625582'] Is it just me that can't stand the vocal harmony and obvious unison vocal double tracking? [/quote] Fine by me, adds a little 'something' I feel, presumably that was the idea?

I got a foam insert carry case thingy from Maplins and trimmed to suit, also takes my multi effects pedal, and mike gear too. After rehearsal today All I can say is WOW! I can see the Eden taking a rest for the foreseeable future as this thing is the dogs danglies lol. Seemed to inmpress the rest of the band too, especially the guitarists with their '2 hand lift' all valve heads hehe! NJE I A/B'd the Reidmar against a littlemark III and I reckon it was waaaay better, and nearly half the price!!...and not yellow!

Well worth a visit if you are down that way!

OK back on topic, just bought myself one of these as a small light backup for my Eden, TBH I can see me using the Reidmar instead, it is AWESOME loud, can't wait for 1st rehearsal with it tomorrow!

Holy smokes that is one weird but wonderful track!! I sometimes wish I was in a band that did original stuff

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1334856591' post='1622511'] 3rds? 7ths? [/quote] Its when you play fractions!!

Went along yesterday, very interesting way to spend a couple of hours if you are anywhere near the O2 in London, the guy putting on the Show, Pete Emmett, used to be a neighbour of Phils and is an absolute wealth of info, and full of the Blarney lol. He wouldn't let me play the P so had to make do with Air Bass in front of THE sign!

I'm like Phil above, started playing (mid life crisis, bass or a motobike...music seemed safer!), answered an ad after about 3 months noodling in bedroom, band gave me 3 songs to learn,, we jammed em, I was in. 1st gig about 6 weeks later, with 4 original songs too. 10 years later I'm still learning, still loving every minute of it. get out there and scare yerself trying, the adreneline rush is huuuuge!

LMAO!! Sorry I couldn't resist!

Hmm must sort a pic out soonest, I love that tee you were wearing Blue, not seen that design before. Lefty is that a bass or a necklace you are wearing?

[quote name='Stacker' timestamp='1332590354' post='1590367'] But, dear God, did you see the dodgy 1980's long coats that musos wore in those days?? [/quote] I still have mine! Was thinking of breaking out again....maybe not......
