More recent gig photo. Mainly to show Clarkys White Precision in action. [attachment=30187:wingate.jpg] The beginning of confusion on my face is caused by the middle 8 of this song suddenly going missing on the night

I'll probably be taking it to the SE Bass Bash if it doesn't sell this time round.

Currently discussing terms with Mrs D but should be able to make this. If I'm on public transport I'll bring either the El Maya or the Prosebass Humbucker Fretless. If I can bag a lift from anyone (from Salisbury) I'll bring whatever the lift will take.

[quote name='Eight' post='525263' date='Jun 26 2009, 08:09 PM']The Kids Are Alright - as a documentary it's terrible. But as a collection of concert footage etc. it's amazing. Beyond the music, I didn't know much about John or what kind of guy he was. I think I would have liked him.[/quote] I'm pretty sure I've got a VHS copy of The Kids Are Alright somewhere. First interested PM can have it. So far I've owned the original album, the CD, the video and the remastered DVD.

Not your neck of the woods I know but it might be useful for others. Route 36 Rehearsal Studio just outside Salisbury runs a 'Rockschool for Relics' which is at aimed at people like yourself. Might be worth looking around for something similar round your way. I had a 22 year break from gigging - there's less to fear than you might think

A blinder of a gig (Friday night) at the Winchester Gate, Salisbury. Good crowd and a great reaction. It gave me the chance to try out Clarky's white Precision which had arrived the previous day. What an absolute stonker of a bass - a complete joy to play. The evening went a bit weird for the last half hour when a classic topless cider-fuelled drunk decided to join us on stage - he was basically harmless and genuinely enjoying himself but when he decided to join in on the vocals I had to step in and have a quiet but forthright word. The venue's well worth a look into if your after a gig in the area. Robb, who puts the bands on and does the sound is a top bloke and, unusually for Salisbury, knows what he's doing.

A really, really good bloke to deal with. Bought his Olympic White Precision which is absolute perfection. A superb, smooth transaction, the only disappointment being that I couldn't find time to get over to London to meet up with him. Being the top bloke that he is he organised the postage to coincide with the day I was at home. Here's to the next deal, cheers Clarky
