    If you read all 3 of those comments out loud In one go, Robert Trujillo will appear.

    I was there for this too and was right towards the front as she was on just before Kings of Leon. You’re right it was a shambles but in hindsight, very sad to see… I remember being able to see the discolour and dirt on her clothes! 😟

    Guns & Roses at Reading 2010? I think Dreadful, truly dreadful.

    I think @JohnDaBass picked one up a little while back and seemed very happy with it!

    What a stunning collection. What is the bridge pickup on the VDE? Looks like a humbucker attached to a J pickup.

    Nice! I didn’t realise his sig was a SS. Makes sense as he also plays Gretsch G2220. Thanks!

    Is the orange one short scale too? I’m guessing it’s not stock? It looks great!

    Think I’ll be going to this one! Used to go to Music Live with my dad and always enjoyed it!

    Came across after watching Ian King’s new one. One hell of a rig, full of gizmos and pedals galore. ‘The Doorway to Funk’ is particularly cool. Do love those Serek basses. Fortunately, I can’t afford to even think about buying one. But they are very nice. Good watch.

    Oh, and… Things were never good if they’re not good now by Donovan Woods also had me hooked this year!

    My two favourite album releases from this year would be: Enough of the sweet talk by Lime Cordiale Gravity by The Dangerous Summer Saw TDS in September and they were absolutely awesome. Couldn’t catch LC when they were in the UK as I had gigs but hopefully I’ll get them the next time ‘round. Happy New Year all! Hope those out gigging have good shows and safe evenings. May your gigs be drunken heckler, and beer spillage free 🙏

    Nice little filter. Hasn’t been used in a while, but in good working order, albeit with signs of use. *SOLD*
  14. AlexDelores
    Cracking pedal, good range of sounds and they don’t come up very often. Lots of scuffs and signs of use as. But, works as it should. £40 inc. postage to mainland UK.

    Funny that. I stayed off BC for a long time and gigged with 1 bass for about 5 years. Since getting back on BC about a year ago, I’ve bought 3 basses 🤦‍♂️🤣 Still, the occasional puns and bad humour make it worth it, to me at least. My wife might say otherwise 🫠

    My two MIM’s. Ole’ faithful 2004 Jazz Standard & 2019 Mustang Vintera 60s. Both lovely instruments. Jazz will never leave me but I think the Mustang might be going soon. Necks a bit thick for me and despite me really wanting to love it, I think I prefer a slimmer neck and a ‘boomier’ pickup.

    The better half got me this Squier VM Jaguar. It’s actually one I used to own then sold on a couple of years ago to a mate. He wanted rid and I always said I’d have it back if he let it go.

    Yeah in honesty I only use it at home now but if I was to start using it live again I’d replace the pups as they don’t have much growl. The bridge was replaced in about 2008 as the old one was ripping my hand to bits. But, the neck is superb and I’ve had many comments that it’s nicer than a lot of American Fenders much more experienced players have played. Although I’m not sure that’s saying much these days 😂

    Last gig of the year last night for us. Cracking little bar called Vandal Bar in Warrington. Bit different to the usual wedding venue and a really up for it crowd, albeit small party of 50. This was wedding #68 for the year for us but it was the first one we’ve ever done through an agency and all went well, got the payment through nice and fast this morning so all ‘round a good first experience. It was a bit of a squeeze to fit in the corner but my ‘rig’ was my Gretsch into my B3, direct into the PA, 64 Audio IEMs and brown DM Thurston boots, oh and my SM58 and Tama kick pedal.

    Not original, but a little festive fun. Recorded in his spare room.

    2004 MIM Jazz Standard. I Saved as a teenager for this, my first ‘proper’ bass. No matter what else I play, this one always feels like home.
  22. AlexDelores
    Was this ever found? One’s gone up on Facebook marketplace today, not to assume it’s the same bass. Just popped into my memory when I saw it. https://www.facebook.com/share/aTn4CmamHiNG89B9/?mibextid=wwXIfr

    Saw Slipknot in Birmingham last night. Very nice selection of basses from Vman. Must of been about 15k in instruments for him alone!
  24. AlexDelores
    Yes, I think they’re worth it. As mentioned above If you want to sing regularly and maintain good vocal health then you won’t regret lessons. Even if you just have a few and learn about the mechanics of how your chords work, how to breath, hold, warm up and recover correctly. Finding a good teacher is key though. I once turned up to a ‘singing lesson’ in some local fellas spare room. The bloke started fake crying towards the end while singing me a song on the piano about ‘the pain of losing his voice’ after sitting me on a chair and telling me to ‘manifest the voice I want to achieve’ 😅 In the end I went to Sally Rivers and she was brilliant. Have you tried any local theatre groups? They may be able to point you in the direction of someone local that’s half decent.

    Sounds like good fun! And might I say, that is a fantastic looking beard 👌
