police squad

I gig a PB50 in my Police tribute band It's a really good bass, I rolled the fingerboard edges and I don't like the tuners. They hold tune perfectly but don't feel very nice. I have a set of northeast guitar parts to put on but haven't done it yet. It really is unbelievable for the money

agreed, old age is a privilege (I lost my brother before he was 50) and I'm looking forward to it. I hope I get the gig on merit and not just being the 'best of a bad bunch' (I'm working on a song called that lol)

audition is in a couple of weeks, then I'm away in Italy to see my mum. I'm so hoping to hear when I'm with my mum.

yes I do want the gig. I'll let everyone know if I get it

my 2 SBR-150s were amazing. I sold my 2nd one just before lockdown. It was too heavy for my ageing back/neck and shoulders But awesome. I'd love another

I have no problem with relics, I've had a few but those dont look great. I think they're the nash ones in bass direct i saw some fairly horrible nash ones in Denmark street, probably 10 years ago

I'm not going to see them, but if it's on the telly I'll defo be watching. They wrote and plagerised some really good tunes and I have the first 4 albums

botox isnt surgery though is it. (or is it lol)

yesterday was my annual bank holiday bash, which I play bass and run the PA for 3 guitarists, drummer, keys, 3 singers, a couple of guests on sax and a 12 string guitarist. I read about putting the bass bins next to each other, which I did. Man alive was it good. I will be doing this always now

great post!

I think Gary Barlowe can dance better than me!! It's exhausting!! should get the extra weight off though. 2 hours yesterday, still can't quite remember the words but the routine is starting to come together!!

my God, I am preparing so hard for this. I'm up at 5.30am today, and I think I've nailed the first verse lyrics I have 2 songs to learn and routines too. I know the songs but some of the words, the way they meter and fit together. Very well written songs. There's no room for the words on an ipad here. They must be learnt well. Still quite bruised from the fillers😅

I'll be singing in this, not playing my bass

I don't want to jinx it by saying who it is but originals

I've been dying my hair blonde for 20 years now. I'm doing this to enhance my chances, it's not making me look 20 years younger, I don't need that. Will I keep it up, I don't know. If I get the gig, I'll see how it goes, if I don't get it I won't bother (The filler was quite painful actually)

no one has asked me to do this, I decided to do it

I will post them when the botox has kicked in. Takes about a week to settle down.

he would't get the gig looking like that!! (what a thing to say)

yes absolutely, I am male. I wouldn't do anything permanent either

probably not no. Just a little enhancement to turn heads (coloured contact lenses too)

Here's one for you. Would anyone here go down the these routes to make themselves look a bit better, less haggered, younger.................whatever I have always said no, this is what I look like (pretty good for 56 years old, if I do say so myself) But I have an audition coming up in a few weeks (with a fairly well known group) and have decided to pull out all the stops, in a hope that I get the gig. So I took the plunge, with the help of Mrs PS and her cosmetic genius at a place in Chistlehurst come on then.......................spill the beans

you are the Guru. It has changed my life

Obviously names can be registered. Check out the whole Bucks Fizz / Original Bucks Fizz / The Fizz story. Only 1 original member in Bucks Fizz and 3 in The Fizz (although it will be 2 soon as Mike is retiring) I have been in 2 bands that registered their names and one band that was around for 30 years, which at one brief time had no original members in it till the original singer rejoined. People knew what the band were about and the evolving line up didnt detract from it. I don't think anybody in the UK is using the name now, but someone is in the States (original guitarist actually)

lol, maybe I will!!
