Although still working and only being 2 1/2 years old, my Xvive U2 has seen better days. Having a search on the Amazon brings up a plethora of cheap alternatives (rechargeable wireless systems) for under £50, with names I've never heard of such as: Getaria; Muslady; Ammoon; Lekato. Does anyone know anything about these 'brands'? There don't seem to be reviews anywhere other than Amazon. I would splash the cash and go for a Boss WL-20, but apparently they don't work so well near wifi.

when I want my bass sound to be a dull thud, I'll use flats. But until then...

Hah! The old soak, sat (in the way) at the end of the bar. It's where he sits, and he's sat there for the last 20-30 years and nothing is gong to move him!

so nothing to do with the gig itself, just the load in. I'll start with the Prince of Wales, Wimbledon. No parking, and load in across 3 busy lanes of traffic on a blind corner. The road is never this quiet at post rush hour gig load in times!

Had the ticket been a fiver more, and been for the whole event I would have considered it. But for some reason charging extra for the main stage performances gets my back up. All or nothing I guess.

FWIW I went through it last night, after not not playing it for a while, and was actually getting stuck on a couple of bits. So at the moment not one I can rely on muscle memory for.

the Josh Fossgreen transcription was useful to me too, but I find it easier to play all that section in one position. So, no moving around the neck, a four fret span, one finger per fret.

BJ the prime minister; UK leaving Europe; Lozz not playing a precision, 'tis truly the end of days 😈

I'm not sure what music I would normally play. My band does covers from the 50's to now, so most styles are covered. In the past I've played other styles. I don't think I have a 'normal'.

sorry to drag this back OT, but I am quite interested to find out what it is too...

Would it have been any good for metal?

to me that sounds as if it would be perfectly 'in place' with the early to mid 80's synth bands. Sex Dwarf - Soft Cell, was the first thing that came to mind.

There was a Marshall valve bass head, and the valves were in a kind of cage, so you could see them glowing. Beautiful.

my custom Shukers have double octave necks, so 24 for me. And yup, I do occasionally get that high!

this is when making Mustang Sally last for 20 minutes comes in useful!

Will have a think, but after the strikes - U2, New Years Day.

Could you post some examples? Ta.

The case for the prosecution rests! 👩🏻‍⚖️

To clarify: ELP would have been out of place in the hit parades of the 50's; Iron Maiden would have been out of place in the 60's hit parades. But take this weeks top 10. Is there anything there that would be out of place in a top ten in 1999?

If the point was put forward, that there has not been anything in the hit parade since the 90's, that would not have been out of place in the 90's, would you agree? Has there been any 'new' music?

You are missing something. Ignore the picture, the link is to Dio sing God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman. Which is definitely a Christmas song.

this is brutal, could have been a normal Dio track - Awesome! God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, not whatever song the picture is showing!
