I'm coming out of gigging retirement this Saturday Jan 3rd at The Crown Inn, Hornchurch after a 13 month break. A real mixed bag of non standard rock and pop covers with bunch of mates. Roped the drummer in from my old band so I have a safety blanket there at least. Should be interesting.....28 songs learned with a load of homework and a couple of rehearsals. We haven't figured all the endings out yet though so will be eyes open on the night. Wish me luck.....

I'll give it another go.....

And also Dunlop Super Bright Nickel 5 string sets under £13 https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/electric-bass-guitar-strings/dunlop-dbsbn40120-super-bright-nw-light-40-120-5-string-bass-guitar-strings

Warwick Red Nickels at Bax Music for under £4 Be aware that the .135 B string is 'challenging' to get into the ferrule on Cort string thru designs. Should be ok on a normal bridge though. (Or throw the B away and just use them as a 4 string set of course) Warwick 46301 M Red Strings Nickel-Plated Steel 5-String Low | Bax Music https://share.google/6a8rldbG7NIeGN4ah

They've got Warwick Red 5 string sets for £3.84 as well. They're actually ok too. And rumour has it that the Sadowskys are just rebranded Warwicks. If you want DR strings try Strings and Beyond. They have 25% off until the New Year and they're cheaper than over here to start with. Even with shipping it's a chunk less.

I don't think it's just the music scene.... 😉😂 Is it too late to change your mind?

Did you receive any bass related crimbo pressies or unexpected winners this morning? I was lucky enough to get a used Bergantino cab ready for my return to live gigging in a few weeks time and also a posh Simba pillow from their refurb shop. Once I've seasoned it nicely with some dribble and snot I'll report back on it (both the the pillow and the cab)

Rob Davis (the curly haired guitarist from Mud) wrote Can't Get You Out of My Head for Kylie, Groovejet for Spiller and Tocas Miracle for Fragma. I bet he earned more out of those than Tiger Feet.....

A smoooottttthhhh transaction! All good 🙂

It's used to be the C8 app and was bloody complicated to use. I think it's been discontinued or renamed. You had to create a job, get it authorised by the manager, do the gig and then get the manager to sign it off. Then wait to get paid. I wasn't a fan as it depended on the manager being efficient.....
