Was this in Foghertys? I have never been there (only once been to liverpool), but a friend of mine used to always play there so it looks familiar

Local pub for us last night. Heaving when we got there due to some football, but emptied out shortly after, always good ego boost. Anyway, easy setup, lots of space, but very warm. We added a load of new songs or songs that we remembered to bring back from pre-pandemic. First half not many people but some of our regular crowd. There were a lot of groups in town last night, so didn't expect too much. Second half a lot more activity and obviously when we got to 3 songs before the end everyone was up dancing and wanting more songs when we stopped - we would have done them too but our guitarist decided he had to get home earlier. Was definitely glad to get some air afterwards as it was so hot - we got another gig out of it in a new venue though, so must have been ok. Security guard was funny afterwards, I went out and he said 'oh have you finished now?', 'yes', 'oh thank f*** for that.. oh hang on, didn't mean it like that I just meant that now everyone would clear out, you are the best we have had in here in ages!' Can't believe how hot it was though!

I have gigged with 100W all valve watts and some places they are loud enough, and some places they aren't if you want clean.

My Spark 40 amp broke at the beginning of september. It is what sits by my chair and I use for most practice with headphones, I find it very useful so was a bit sad without it. Seemed the effects and the music playback worked but no input. However, it was over 3 years since I bought it so what can you do - I contacted postitive grid to see if I could get it repaired, they asked for a video of what it was doing and on reciept of that they asked me to send it in, while not telling me how much it would be, so I sent it in. Today a completely new amp turned up as a replacement - pretty impressed with that level of service!

I would say 100W amp is fine in a lot of places, until you find somewhere where it isn't, but then there is no where you can go and you can't turn up more. I gigged with a 250 TC combo for a while in a not that loud trio, but wouldn't really want to go out with less than that. I did gig for a bit with 100W valve amp, and it was fine in that it was always loud enough, but not if you wanted clean at high volume.

Indeed - the app is an example of how people should write synth apps.

Bruce Foxton's acoustic Waterstone
Woodinblack replied to TheGreek's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
The last paragraph is very specific - "For the last 10 years I have used A waterstone bass live every night on the number one hit START" I saw from the jam in 2015, I took photos, sure enough he is playing a waterstone semi acoustic bass on start - its white. -
Ooh - its a long time until the second week of July!

I have an Opal router too, works well and I got mine much cheaper from a non amazon site (there isn't another option for me). Handy that it can run of USB, and frankly, so little power that you can connect it to anything that has a bus powered USB, such as the XTouch.

No, because what I said at the time was factual. I haven't had any additional involvement in the cookie stuff and I don't really have any dealings with Ezoics, or trust them. But it clearly doesn't work like this. But maybe it is in some way my fault for not having any actual involvement with the cookies being in as I stay out of finances and stuff. I am just here to fix stuff that goes wrong with the actual server.

Clearly not - where do you think you are, somerset?.. oh hang on..

If you mean the install basschat - that is the thing that Ped did about 6 months ago so that you could put basschat on a desktop icon - it has nothing to do with this current stuff.

Firefox has a facebook container option, which opens facebook in its own sandbox so it can't get to anything else.

Covers bands - are they just parasites? (& how PRS works)
Woodinblack replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
In general a parasite is just consuming their basic needs for living. A tapeworm isn't doing much investing, it is just growning. They just happen to be taking that resource from something else -

Woodinblack replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
That is true though for me. I do (happily) play covers, and I play in the sort of establishments that I wouldn't normally frequent (pubs) filled with people I would want to avoid (drunk people). So yes, for me it is true and I enjoy it. -

Woodinblack replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
You know I have never had that in hundreds of gigs over many years. -
Yeh done a few of those. I always wondered, surely the staff know that is how it works, why are they spending their own money on getting a group that people don't want to see, is it that much cheaper than the license to screen TV?.

As he plays covers, I am sure he has considered it -

He didn't have to as Spirit already had -
My stuff always fits, so it will go in just fine! Cant even remember what I am bringing, but I am sure I will remember before the day. Have a couple of basses I can put up for sale - too expensive to put in a raffle but too cheap to sell online!

Woodinblack replied to BigJHW's topic in General Discussion
To put a capo on and play the 5 frets above that!
