[quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1504441706' post='3364839'] Saw the band back in the day - great guitarist, great songs. One of my faves is 'I can't Wait Much Longer' [media]http://youtu.be/npTd88r51LY[/media] Early stuff with Procol Harum - nice groove on this 12 bar 'Whiskey Train' [media]http://youtu.be/u-RN2JV8hV4[/media] [/quote] +1 Did 'I can't wait much longer' when I was in a blues band.....absolute classic prog rock/blues/bestplayedwhenstoned track Not that I've ever been stoned officer!

Sean bought my chorus pedal Easy no hassle transaction - recommended

Only happened once to me and that was hard to take, it felt a bit like a relationship break-up (which it was I suppose)...I think our main problem was we didn't do enough gigs, + the singer (female, great voice) was having a relationship with the lead guitarists step-son (our sound engineer), which is always likely to be trouble if they split (they did). Since then (about 2 years ago) I'm in a Bowie Tribute band which is really good and going places (venues are re-booking us) AND I'm in the band for a musical at the local school....so as many have said, it can and will turn round for you...and sooner than you think!

She looked pretty good for a 55-year-old. In fact, she wasn’t too bad at all, and he found himself thinking she probably had a really hot daughter. They drank a couple of beers, and she asked if I’d ever had a “Sportsman’s Double”? “What’s that?” the guy asked. “It’s a mother and daughter threesome.” she said.[/color][/size][/font][/color] [color=#FFFFFF][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3][color=#222222]As the guy’s mind began to embrace the idea, and he wondered what her daughter might look like, he said, “No, I haven’t.” They drank a bit more, then she said with a wink, “tonight’s your lucky night.” They hopped into a taxi and went back to her place. When they arrived back at her place and they walked into the front door, she turned on the hall light and shouted upstairs “Mom… you still awake?”[/color][/size][/font][/color] [color=#FFFFFF][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3][color=#222222]Except not even remotely funny.[/color]h an older woman at a bar last.

I've gigged a Status Buzzard once owned by Entwistle I played at an outdoor festival in Worcestershire in the 70's. Alexis Korner was headlining...he said we were sh*t (didn't meet him). My mate Harry, drummer from this band, has gigged with Robert Plant!

Sold a pedal to Ed Smooth n easy with no complications Deal with confidence Phil

Good luck with it...shame you have to give up, I'm getting very near the big SIX-OH and am thankfully fit enough for a few years yet. Have a great gig!

I think by asking the question, you've given yourself the answer.....which would be to lose the flag!

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1503309612' post='3357003'] Usually its because theres a cruel lack of adequate punctuation which makes reading their posts very difficult in fact some of the posts are so bad they just get skipped it does however create a tension which for some people seems to be resolved in grumpy replies not enough in jest for me I much prefer a light hearted approach not everyone has the same outlook though spelling mistakes and badly placed or worse still missing apostrophes has been know to send some folks barmy as has commas out of place never mind its all for fun you know as a line from a Marty Balin song goes [/quote] [font=arial, sans-serif-light, sans-serif][size=5]Eats, Shoots & Leaves[/size][/font]

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1502971059' post='3354733'] I think new they are about $600 which for a custom built (half) bass I don't think is bad. There's a configuration page on their site where you can 'build your own' [/quote] I agree....might have to put that one on the bucket list

Cool thing...are they expensive?

I had two BC212 with a TC BH500 head An excellent rig and the cabs sounded great and are fairly light. Should pick them up used for about £120 or less. Get covers if you're keeping them, the covering is easy to 'rash' Not as good a sound as the high end stuff but good for the price
