Friday night was the last one at one of our fave venues in Essex. It was a great turnout and so many people came along to say goodbye to us. We have one more in Southend next Saturday and then we're packing the band up after a total of 24 years. It's gonna be 'emowsh' as we say down here.... Here's some pics from Friday

True dat.....they did look tasty. And I was only trying to spend some cash with them 😂

I popped into the Cambridge PMT a couple of weeks ago. You go in the front door and walk right past the counter to go deeper into the shop. There were 3 staff sitting behind the counter having a chat and eating lunch - no one even looked at me let alone welcomed me. I walked to the back of the shop, hung around the bass section looking at the couple of 5 strings they had locked up on the wall for about 5 minutes, did a couple of laps of the shop in case anyone could be bottomed to ask me if i needed anything or wanted to try a bass and walked straight back out again. I was still less interesting to them than a baked potato. Thats £500 of my money they're not getting then....

We've been using a water based Beamz Hazer for years now. It has a remote that can vary the intensity of the haze, the duration and the interval. You just need to be sensible with it. If you have smoke detectors over the stage don't use it or just have the odd tiny squirt. Use proper haze fluid and not general smoke fluid, it seems to produce a thinner but longer 'hanging' haze.

£20 a set here and arrive in about 10 days..... You're welcome 🙂 https://www.stringsandbeyond.com/dr-electric-bass-strings-mr-45-med-45-105.html

Don't mess with it. Take it back to the seller for a further chat about it. If you played it in the shop you may struggle to get a better outcome but if you bought it online you can probably return it if you haven't had it long.

No idea sorry. Drummist turned up with it one day. It's bloody heavy.

Plan B would be stop playing the smaller pubs. That's what we did. Same issue with the drummer - big hitter and a loud kit. He tried playing with rods but it really didn't work for any of us. Robbed the power out of the band and drummer was grumpy about it. He also had a smaller kit but liked using the big stuff. I suppose it's like asking you to play through a 50 watt combo and below talking volume for him.

Nope, it's the same size as the kit. You lose the gap under the cymbals but what do you use that for anyway?

Get a drum screen. We use one and it works really well. Or a new drummer of course 😁
