  1. I always forget the middle section in that at jam nights......
  2. https://www.money.co.uk/guides/do-you-have-to-pay-private-parking-tickets.htm Check this out S.
  3. I don’t believe they do - check the wording on the penalty notice, it might be a ‘file in the bin’
  4. It is Al. Very careful now when I change batteries, always do it at home and not in a rush on a gig.
  5. Cheers Dave, much appreciated. The sound engineers did a great job at this one.
  6. Two cracking gigs over the weekend with Glam Fever. First up on the Friday evening, a national bikers rally event at the Royal Cheshire showground near Knutsford. Although we were the first band on the marquee was pretty full (a few hundred) and the crowd were pretty much on their feet from the start. A cracking 90 minute set with 2 encores - we look forward to returning next year. Second, at a very nice club in Sleaford, South Lincs. We were pretty knackered from the day before but the crowd were brilliant and were on their feet from the first song in the first set to the last song in the second set. Wish all weekends were like this!
  7. Probably not Dan, you’ll have to satisfy yourself with the charcoal on yer toast
  8. Reproduction - The Human League Unknown Pleasures - Joy Division This Mortal Coil - It'll end in tears Young Marble Giants - Colossal Youth OMD - Architecture and Morality Bowie - Station to Station
  9. Ditto. Some gigs I do for love and enjoyment - some I look at as a paid practice. The money goes in a pot towards something desirable, that thought helps at the grimmer gigs.
  10. That's a great price on one of these - I really wish I could justify it. GLWTS
  11. I get the 'Iggle Piggle' song stuck in my head..........nearly as bad as Peppa.
  12. ...well that ain’t what I’m playing lol. Then again we’ve keyed it down and I ain’t going 5 string on it! Might have to use the Rick instead of my usual Mustang....
  13. I hope you’re being ironicalistic on that...just about to bring that into the Glam set and I feel my fingers are gonna melt by the end.....
  14. Can’t be completely sure Danny but I believe the finish on my roasted neck is standard oil/wax, the lacquer is on the headstock only. I don’t mind the oil wax on mine as the board is ebony not maple.
  15. For some reason I don’t mind it so much on my roasted neck PDN that has an ebony board but maple/maple - I agree with you. I think gloss is standard on the classics but then you end up with the slab body?
  16. Great to have my Sterling back after its visit to Mr Shuker. I wasn’t keen on the bland neck (maple board wax/oil jobbie) so after a conversation with DeeDee the bass was taken into the heart of the Peak District. Very happy with the work, a nice vintage tint gloss and stainless frets - looks awesome.
  17. Very nice and would be just the job, sadly wont fit the MW due to the humbucker.
  18. Thanks for the thread guys. I'm currently happy with the pg on my 1999-2002 CIJ Mustang but would really like a replacement for my Mikey Way sig, it could do with blinging up from the b/w/b.
  19. Nothing mate, free to a good home. Pm me your address
  20. The bass is a shrunken Precision and the ‘wig’ really is John’s hair...
  21. Sorry but I couldn’t face putting it on....too many painful memories. Here it is adorning a forlorn Mustang. Oh the shame....
  22. I'm afraid that it was so hideous that it never made it to a gig.....I will don once more for posterity and photo taking though so you can see what you're letting yourself in for
  23. H......I've got a JD wig that I'm not using in Glam Fever - It's seriously hideous.
  24. Not so much. If it's a rosewood board (or pau ferro or the like) I'd give it a little lemon oil if it looks dry, other than that nothing at all.
  25. Ahh......it'll be going back then?
