I played in a Jam tribute for a bit (mates, they needed a dep) and as i learned all the songs, I realised how much of an influence he was. He plays some really melodic stuff and his fills are great and his energy too Have a great retirement Bruce

Living in a pox!!

I have a few gigs coming up with all my bands the usual summer bank holiday monday in August, near the Deal seafront, this is always packed

I'm gigging a Harley Benton PB-50 The stock pickup sounds absolutely perfect I sort of agree with you here

Hi there people I'm about to wire up a P bass. The earth wire that goes to the bridge, what gauge should I use and do I tin the end with solder, or just leave it as is TY

I use Armstrong pickups in Kent. Aaron is the son of Kent Armstrong He's done a couple of rewinds for me and they've been fine

this guy always does this. It was quite the thump in the back. I think this is 'heft'😁

he is still young and foolish!!

went to see a mate's band last night Smallish pub. Bass player was using Ampeg SVT and a marshall 8x10 I got up to play a few Beatles numbers, wow the bass was a bit lively

that is top draw

we had a chat with him after the gig, they all came out from backstage an we went to Graham, a) because no one else did and b) we wanted to tell him what a bloody great job he did. He had A Thunderbird and got a great sound

I saw Wishbone Ash in Deal a good few years ago and Bob Skeete wasnt there, it was the Ashbone U wish bss player

Yep. Mine was fabulous in every way

ESE was Eric Snowball Great shop and a fountain of information was Eric He knew about electronics IIRC he made his own PA stuff and we all rented stuff from him at some point Whatever you have there will be very good quality I bought my first Trace Elliot from him back in 1987

Absolutely stunning Nice one guys I'll be buying several tickets

Many years ago the 30 quid i earned at a pub gig, really supplemented my income. 150 gigs a year and a full time job was great. Ive gigged hard for nearly 40 years. Ive also bought a lot of gear with that money, which I couldn't have afforded without the gigs. Then, 21 years ago I started playing solo gigs My wife had left me and I needed something to keep me occupied I made a fortune for a couple of years. I thought I had to charge the same as other solo performers or I would be taking work from them. My Police tribute hardly ever made any money a nd usually we were out of pocket after hotels etc but it was fun As I get older I really dont need the money and so dont really charge as much as I could for my duo I still do charity gigs for free. I've never really thought of playing for free, the way you do Chris, it's an interesting conundrum
