...look on the bright side. You‘d have been gutted if he‘d then ripped it up though, wouldn’t you?

Yeah, that’s a common problem with those Ampeg SVTs 😘

Presumably whatever clothing you’re wearing would have to be made out of Kevlar.

Playing a short warm-up/dinner set to a Turkish audience we were asked if we knew any Turkish instrumentals. “You know, one of those ones everybody knows...”

My back aches just looking at that 😅

Fair play to you. Keep us all here informed once it kicks off. I’m sure loads of us would be interested (insanely jealous 😲) to hear what it’s like.

Remember young Jedi 10-14k IS properly big for most of us here 😀 Fill yer boots matey.

There’s some good songs there. Not really my genre but well played and presented. Good luck 👍 ...is that you on the video for Natural Born Astronaut?

...and yes, I am going to Google them 😀

Congratulations, what’s your band called?

Is that meant metaphorically or are you really playing Wembley? If so, wow, what gig?

I saw what you did there 😬

Given the fact that he was presumably just about to probe the inside of your mouth with a sharp object, a plucky choice of words I’d say.😙

Well done that man, sounds like you had a great time 👍

It’ll never catch on 🙃

👍

Take pretty much any 80s Fender...

I‘m probably way behind the wave here but YT has been peppering me with videos of these guys recently.

I‘d say you‘ve answered your own question there.

That’s sad news. Still, its good that he made the decision on his own terms.

Obviously, I don’t know what these sound like, but I played a 3-p-pup Maruszczyk Bass once. Fugly, but an amazing range of sounds for a fully passive instrument.

I‘ve been happy so far with mobile sheets pro https://www.zubersoft.com/mobilesheets/ It accepts anything as a pdf, including photographed stuff. I don‘t know, off the top of my head, what other file-types it accepts.

We kind of had the opposite to the OP. We’re doing a Blues Brothers gig where half of the band have never met the other half. Due to availability restrictions there’s no rehearsal beforehand. In itself not a problem as long as everyone is familiar with the material and has their ears on. However, the drummer, who none of us has met but came recommended, went awol mid-November. No reaction to emails, texts, Facebook etc. By the time it became apparent that he wasn’t going to reply it was early December. Try finding a decent (no rehearsals) sight unseen drummer for NYE starting early December... 30 phone calls later they found someone. We’ll find out tomorrow what he’s like.🤞

Jealous.

That’s the spirit, fill yer boots!
