Clarky

Agree, she has a strong but very singular voice (as did Nina Simone) and I don't she did the song justice and vice versa

Think he was orchestrating Celeste singing Wonderful World

How charming

I wasn't sure - think she was singing along to a pre-recorded version as you could hear her singing at points. TBF she is 78!

OK shortest thread ever. Subsequent acts were just playing to an orchestra. Move along folks, nothing to see here

George Ezra bassist - Wilcock Mullarkey and Shergold Marathon Duran Duran's John Taylor - Dingwall something or other Celeste bassist - Fender (57?) P So far

Great gig at Tuesday Night Music Club in Coulsdon, Surrey this week. Over 2 hours of music was knackering but exhilarating. Fab review plus bass-face photo from Haydn Hart, a TNMC regular: "US Hall of Fame Inductee and multi award winning songwriter, composer and performer Wily Bo Walker gave an astonishing performance at the Tuesday Night Music Club this week. It was such a kind gesture by Wily Bo Walker to give away a CD to every attendee on the night, A CD that had been specially made for the occasion. This was his way of thanking his audience for attending. Such is the measure of this brilliant musician. The band’s performance itself was flawless, with E D Bradshaw giving a masterclass on lead guitar, providing some jaw dropping breaks throughout. Clarky, the consummate bass man. My apologies to the drummer and the keyboard/mandolin player, but I didn’t catch your names……great job though guys. A standing ovation for Wily Bo Walker at the end of a superb evening of live music that spanned the recognised genres giving them new life and making them his own."

I used to have this rig and it would fit the bill nicely. There's one FS (nowt to do with me) on theforum right now

Going full Jimmy Page pout

Agreed, quite dark and thumpy, without the brightness and mids of TI flats. To my hands, they don't 'feel' as low tension as TI flats which I attribute not to the tension itself but to the fact the A and D are somewhat chunkier and less flexible feeling than the TI equivalents

Not too late. Comrades Club,Coulsdon, Surrey

Nope, bought a cheapie off Amazon

Thank you folks for all your feedback and thoughts. The result: I have bought an Elf (the slight poll winner) and, together with my Sansamp DI pedal, hopefully have all eventualities covered should my amp du jour (now an Orange Terror Bass) go belly up on a gig.

Tomorrow. First set starts 8pm and we finish 10.30pm. Here's one of the songs we will be playing

one came up FS last night

There's a CTM100 just popped up in Amps FS forum at a good price

Doesnt fit in a gigbag pocket!
