I've not noticed this but I dont do that many gigs these days. Will check on my next gig

that thing sounds good I think Glad I dont want a Stingray, otherwise....................

snap, wish I still had mine

It's been so long since I've gigged it, I dont really know. Its very very light though. I swapped a 100 watt Marshall Superbass for it, with a guy in Newcastle. It's got a great neck on it too

the world is full of entitled keyboard heroes. In the old days, you placed an ad and someone phoned you. People were more genuine then. Now it's too easy to back out and people really do waste your time. Just a fact of life I do use marketplace and have had some success

you cant sing harmonies to off pitch singing, I was in a band like that. It's an art to actually sing along with a singer, especially if they change the phrasing from the original

covers or originals? I wish more people would learn to do BVs, they really fill the sound if (if they're good obviously)

normally 2 x 1 hour for my 80s band, 80s duo and Police Tribute. I did a gig late last year and we did 2 x 45 mins. It was over in a heart beat

certainly sir, I have removed the vibrola, these pictures were when I bought it, 18 or so years ago

If you can see a way forward and it will settle down, keep buggering on. (this is what I used to do and it was eventually ok) If you don't think it will settle, personally, I would have to leave. Life is just too short to have to deal with sh!t from bands. I folded my last band due to the idiot guitarist bullying the new drummer. Band mates wouldn't listen to my solution (which was to get my wife on the bass and me switch to guitar and everything would have improved, she does BVs and plays like me) So I folded it

simple is sometimes best. I love a good telecaster. Wish I'd kept the jr now, but still have a '67 SG jr

I had one of those for a few years. Sold it to my brother. It was/still is awesome

I have a JTV59. A fine instrument indeed. Great acoustic sounds and the out of phase strat quack is great too. Gretsch sounds are good too. Having been down the rabbit hole of guitars (like basses) I have settled on Brian May guitars. I currently have 4. 24 inch scale and 24 frets. A good range of tones and a bit different. I have a couple of les pauls, an SG jr, strats including a 12 string, 2 telecasters, ovation acoustic, 335 a-like.

To be honest and in my experience, they shouldnt be copying and pasting your bits together (oo-er). They should have been able to drop you in, like we did in the old days. I haven't been in a studio for nearly 20 years now and that was with the legend that was Chris Tsangarides, where he tidied up a slightly too behind the beat note that I played. As Lozz says, don't beat yourself up about it, it went on all the time. Just try and enjoy playing and stay out of the politics

unfortunately the case has been removed from sale!!

PMd

I think I have a solution. My wife has some family up there, so we're going to visit them cheers folks

Thanks mate, just checking with him, if he could get to MK or northampton services

Someone is selling a bass case I would like but it's a four hour drive. I'm in Kent. Anyone about, going that way, nearby, some sort of relay, maybe get it to london, thoughts lovely people😍

My brother had a strat that Simon made. It was very nice but he fell out of love it and sold it (It went to the US) You must come across Matt Schofield a bit then

SVLs? Are they Simon Law basses?

I got mine from the importers at the time (cant remember who they were it was 6 years ago)

I still gig my older more valuable instruments, if they fit the criteria. My '73 P bass comes out occasionally '67 SG jr, which got a lot of use after a car crash left me with bad whiplash because it is so light. Looking forward to gigging my '64 hofner violin bass, when I get the chance. But I wouldn't fly with them now and as others have said, as long as I can keep an eye on them at gigs
