  1. When I last owned a Trace combo I had to enlist the drummer to help me put it in my car boot. As I now own an Elf I think you can safely spill my pint! 🍺
  2. I bet you weren’t whistling Mr Blue Sky, Pete!😂
  3. U2 tribute?😂
  4. I’ll never listen to In The Summertime again… 😈
  5. I used to love and hate You Can Call Me Al…
  6. To which bass do you refer?🎸
  7. Folks - I love this thread, especially if you name your band and genre of music. The more info the better, especially the bass and amplification you’re using! Nerdy request over…🙏
  8. I prefer the bass ukelele!
  9. Good point. Gary had a legendary red one he whipped out to do Red House a la Hendrix. https://www.musicradar.com/news/under-the-microscope-gary-moores-fiesta-red-fender-stratocaster Albert played a sunburst with some strange Scandinavian act as I recall.
  10. I had to interview guitarists playing at the 2004 Wembley tribute to the Stratocaster. To that end I spent a day at a rehearsal studio. Neither Joe Walsh or Gary Moore showed, but Albert did so I interviewed him. A more modest man I have never met - in fact he said he felt a fraud as he wasn’t a habitual Strat player! Long may he rock… 🎸
  11. Fab post, @Grooverjr!👏 And may I add, Andy’s bass-related stories over the years have had endless entertainment value. I know not everyone can or wants to be a big contributor, but there are certain characters you look out for. @AndyTravis has helped make BC what it is, as indeed has @Clarky, so I see this as an affirmation that all the hours spent on BC over the past 17 years haven’t been wasted!👍
  12. Double post but totally justified!
  13. Go ‘Rob from Basschat’👌
  14. Yes, my feelings too. He was a mod who helped me out once or twice. BC since 2007, a part of my life! Now let’s carry on fundraising…
  15. The BBC should have given Johnnie Sounds of the 60s - where his heart lay - and Tom Robinson the 70s. Bob is good but not the right man.
  16. Lord Mark of Clark to you, mate!😂 I am in Argentina at present, and the Pope is apparently from these parts. If you push and I pull Sainthood is a possibility. 😇
  17. Happy to have contributed - and well done Clarky! Basschat at its best. All the very best to Andy and Iris.
  18. Don’t knock all holiday camps - you can see decent music at some of them! I would rather see the Temptations done well by a tribute than be worried about an original member. And I’m lucky enough to have seen the ‘original’ Supremes and Four Tops.
  19. Another perfect transaction - thank you Yousef!
  20. As a blues band I prefer repeat gigs in venues that like us. We are niche and won’t go down well everywhere…
  21. We have averaged 18 a year in the last three years - which for a bunch of retired people who take long holidays I think is reasonable.
  22. We use it for audience participation purposes when appropriate. If we deploy it, then the evening has been a good one. Certain people don’t approve, but you can’t please everyone!
  23. Have a good one - great band name!
  24. Greg Douglass plays Steve Miller in Emsworth, Hants. Featuring @Steve Browning, and in the company of @Chimike.
