Cheers, my friend. 🙏 I will be using the Guild B301F fretless for my sins, which I have only ever played once in public. Wish me luck...😬

Not quite the same, but I remember Gary Rossington tell me that Lynyrd Skynyrd (who Quo recently supported) have to make something like 125 per cent of the gross every night to pay the widows and orphans of the deceased originals who gave them permission to re-form. That’s one heck of a lot of t-shirts...😈

That’s why he often wears a hat, Keith! 😈 And if we are going back that far, do people know the song was an attack on the Sutherland Bros for trying to steal Ace’s bass player? Hence a very appropriate choice by the OP.

If you consider it took five musicians to record the original, why did it need more people to create less?

Sure you’re right, and they’re good, but the irony is Andy Fairweather Low is still alive and touring. He is exceptionally good, and an ace guitarist (of which I was ignorant for ages). He is not keen on outsiders using the name...

The Bootleg Beatles have been together far longer than the real thing were. And they’re very good. The Feelgoods relaunched with the last lineup that backed Lee. He wanted them to continue, and given the number of tributes - many of a high standard - why shouldn’t they? Also, every member of Dr Feelgood still earns from them thanks to ‘fifth member’/manager Chris Fenwick. That can’t be bad...

On Friday 4th October at the Memorial Centre in New Milton the band I’m in, State of Undress, will be playing their only gig of the year. As if that wasn’t important enough, it’s a charity show for a very good cause indeed. Four members of the same musical family - Josh Rose drummer with rock band Saints of Sin; Charlie Rose lead singer and Alan Rose guitarist with fiddle-fuelled band State of Undress; and country-music artist Ben Caleb Rose - have come together to put on an epic and fun evening of music to raise money for two little girls, Lexie and Isabelle, who have both recently been diagnosed with a brain tumour. The reason we haven’t played any gigs this year was our singer Charlie Rose also having to deal with serious illness. She is now fit, feisty and ready to frolic, so we hope that this will mark the joyous rebirth of the band. We play folk-rock, the headliners Saints of Sin are apparently stadium rock... so bring your earplugs!😉 Needless to say, I am hoping many of my musical friends can attend. It will be an emotional and, above all, entertaining evening of original music, so please do come if you can. Late PS: Opener Ben Rose is no longer available, so we will be doing a longer set! The Gig for Lexie and Isabelle is at New Milton Memorial Centre, Whitefield Road, BH25 6DE on Friday 4th October. Doors open 7.00pm. Tickets are £10.00 (plus £1.08 booking fee) from www.memcentre.co.uk/gigforlexieandisabelle . Tickets will also be available on the door. Mickeyboro

You are John Wilson and I claim my fiver!😆

Interesting. What’s your rationale for having both and do you ever use them together? Ta!

I have a Super Compact and am considering replacing by two One10s.. I have been using Markbass LM 800 with the SC; had assume d that would be too powerful with the One10s. My other amp is a Gallien Krueger MB200. Views welcome. Oh, and do you actually stack your One10s rather than side by side?

Can we clarify for the dopey (ie me). When we say a stack do we mean 2x10-inchers? Assume from Rob’s post we do. And it would be interesting to know the amps used. Great thread by the way ...

It didn’t seem to have sold last time I looked...

Where did you park the Artic, Steve?😮

I renew because I would miss the site if it disappeared. A small price to pay...

Yes please! PMd

I always thought you were a Fruit Loop, Keith...

I found this preferable to the 1x15 of the range, and reckoned it would be a good-value buy in the second hand market if a touch overpriced initially. My review was tweaked to read more favourably as the mag I wrote for was keen to keep in with the advertisers. Which is why I don’t review for them any more... 😩 How much did you get it for, if it’s not a rude question?

Saw BC on their second gig ever at the Rainbow. Caught them as I had missed Free. They were so loud I walked out at the end and was nearly run over by a bus, so discombobulated was I... Good show though. And they did The Stealer!

Not doom mongering, free speech. Long may that reign on this board...

The 102 served me well for several years in a four piece function band. Never needed to go through the pa and liked the monitor shape directing the sound up. Only got rid as it was a centimetre too big to manoeuvre into my Toyota Avensis boot.

^^^^ and this was an out-take! Preferred this era when they played pop music jazzily rather than going up their own fundament...
