Fri Night..another gig in Chesham..other end this time. Landlord was over the moon to get a rock band in as he is a fan of the genre, set up.... soundcheck....quiet as eff at far end of room (me on wireless wandering about) quiet until about 2 foot in front of PA then BAM, we had to play the whole evening with enough vol in our ears to make yer deaf in 1 go ( I had earplugs) Landlord kept telling us to turn up, he was luvvin it . It was damn sweaty too! Played our last song, maybe an extra song? 45 mins later we have played most of 1st set again, a couple of back up numbers..... and jammed our way through Zep's Rock And Roll and Highway to Hell. A stonkin good night and he wants us back in Nov. result! Sat I was too tired to breathe

Another vote for Jimmy Lea (Slade) grew up with that sound and wasn't until I tried playing along that I realised just how difficult his lines could be! We cover a coupla Slade songs and I found it tough going for a while. ( mind you I AM a crap player!)

Mine turned up this morning..no pic yet fit is spot on, glad I listened to your advice Ped and just got the large, shame my gig was last night! Will wear it with pride at the next one! Edit, it came 2nd class in a jiffy bag, nicely folded though, posted 28th Sep

Thanks for that...I was just wondering about the delivery date...Good for my gig on Fri then!!

Sat night in Chesham, dunno if its just round there, but Sat night pubs crowds are definitely down, those that were there however were up for a boogie and we had a ball, sound was good too (my 1st outing with the New Eden 4x10)just my luck the only 2 muso's in the pub were bassists! just glad I didn't know before as I would have been extra nervous! Landlord seemed well happy despite low turnout, we got an invite back

Once played a venue that had a traffic light sound monitor thingy and after hitting the red a few times we were asked to turn down (old band, not current) Bandleader/singer was giving ##ck you to the landlord (yes he did have an ego issue) we were never asked back *sigh* I think his hearing was going cos we had an insane rig for a pub band (2k bass bins anyone?) ALWAYS went home with my ears ringing

Wow! Great to see a pic with your new bass, glad your London experience was a good one...now..if only I could a afford a trip to the states......

[quote name='Marky L' timestamp='1316805663' post='1383301'] Paul Grey.. a very melodic bass player. An all time bass hero for me [/quote] He likes playing up the dusty end don't he? Great stuff, might have to suggest covering em!

Makes me glad I can't slap

Yup I have the E840 too, my singist has proclaimed it 'more than adequate'......good enough

Ha! good point, we've done that as well, until we got the H2. even posted up some clips on myspace using iPhone recordings.

Yup we have H2 as well, great bit of kit other than screen is too small and I cant read it without me specs!, would add a sound link but I have no idea how!

Warm and Fuzzy sounds good....do we get indvidually numbered 'special editions' as we are the first?

Cant even see filter setting on the left....page looks like its only half refreshed, odd but I am getting the same on my phone as well. I dont even see my own post in the 'new content' page..really weird.

Just clicked into this morning, and I have lost the 'click to next page' thingy at the bottom ie I can only ever see the most recent posts rather than several pages of recent posts. Its the same on PC and Iphone. Anyone else noticed this? Cheers

Heck of a good read! cant wait for the next part, damn my life seems soooo boring in comparison!

Got a J retro and was astounded at the difference it made, well worth the dosh and I got to meet John as well. A perfect gent, very knowledgeable and makes very nice coffee! I would say go for it!

Nice to see we ain't the only ones out there with a singer/drummer..however he ALSO plays guitar, bass and Bavarian nose flute!
