This might be a bit controversial - Pans People were very good looking ladies but not particularly great dancers.

American Graffiti

Not sure, but Peter Kay can according to another thread on this site.

I used to listen to Radio 2 all the time, it is now playing stuff Inwould consider to be bordering Radio 1, now only listen to Mr J Walker on Sunday afternoons. My daily choice of station is now Planet Rock and I enjoy about 70% of what’s played, not into Motörhead, Metallica etc.

Blimey this guy is good, flicked through all the 20 plus licks. Almost makes you feel like your own playing is very basic and scratching the surface after 30 years of playing in my case.

What about a Ford Capri 😄

Exactly +1

If certain songs are speeded up by the band, the vocalist can have some serious issues. Two songs that come to mind that have a lot of words crammed into the songs at their normal tempo, Two Princes - Spin Doctors and Too Hard To Handle - Black Crowes, play these too fast at your peril and the vocalist will not be able to fit the words in or catch a breath.

Cheers, I know what your talking about now.

What’s the drill hole near the bridge in the photograph ? Interested to know why it’s there or what could have been attached there.

I have one exactly the same except with a clear Perspex scratchplate.

Our gig has been cancelled tonight because our vocalist decided he was not prepared to travel, the other three of us were still up for it. Not a good situation.

Playing a song too fast is not usually a good thing, you will lose the total feel of the original and all the accents will just become a muddled mush.

I listen to a lot of the new artists, so don’t assume. I have zero interest in the rap genre or anything near to it, old or new, that’s my choice.

Same here, no idea, who is he ? I don’t think any of his “songs” will be appearing on our bands set list 😀 Never mind, we can all look forward to the Spice Girls reunion and tour this year 🤪🤪

It’s a lot worse in bands with two guitarists, I had this when playing in a rock band in the 80’s. Both guitarists had 4x12 Marshall stacks and they were always competing with each other on volume, one turned up and then the other one turned up and on it went, ridiculous.

As other chatters have questioned, I don’t understand reason 1. IMO to join a tribute band you really must be into the original band, it’s more passionate than being in just a general covers band, of which I have been in many and I’m currently in. I played in a Free tribute band for a few years, one of the main reasons is that me and the rest of the band members were really into Free, I would still be doing it now if we hadn’t lost the vocalist (who was first rate, couldn’t find anyone good enough to replace him) as he went on to do his own original material. Playing in a tribute band usually involves playing gigs more far afield, playing locally all the time just would not work. One of our old vocalist from the 80’s is now one of the top Bowie band tribute acts and a lot of his gigs take him over to Europe.

Mr Big with Free, not possible now as two members are no longer with us, so it would be with Paul Rodgers and what ever his touring band is at the time.

I use Solvol Autosol on the frets, machineheads, screws and poles on the pick ups, the best metal polish/restorer on the market IMO.

Colour Magic is actually a mild cutting compound and it’s original use on cars was to restore faded paintwork, red cars were especially prone to fading to a pinkish colour, a good going over with Red Colour Magic would usually restore it back to a nice gleaming red.

As soon as your gig has finished, make sure your bass goes into the case first.
