fleabag

A few years ago ( different band back then ) we were playing a poky pub called The Seacourt Hotel, at Botley, Oxford. We could hear some prune at the back shouting when the music had some quiet bits, but just ignored him because he was unintelligble. After getting no reaction, he wandered upto the rhythm git, and said in his shell like... " You're a c*nt mate " Cue fighting Dave, the demon devil drummer. He shouts out sumfing from behind his monster kit, and almost at the same, our voxist shouts out sumfing equally shocking, who believe it or not, was a fighting Gypsy nutjob, although a lovely bloke, and had been banned from every pub in the town he lived in, and suddenly the prune goes quiet. Later, punchy Dave remembers the guy from times previous, to do with work, and remembered the guy had a business and was fiddling the Taxman, so fighting Dave bubbled him to the aformentioned Govt. stinkpots dept. Andy the Gypsy nutjob, although a lovely bloke, and 2 hits Dave, decided that it wasnt prudent to slap him silly, so the Taxman was the result Oh how we chortled

Well, it all went very smoothly in the end.

Got tatts but nothing bass related

In concrete sandals ?

I've decided to turn the clock back tonight.

I think Romney Marshes would be a more suitable venue, along with some concrete sandals

Why did you post this identical thread 8 minutes after the first one ?

He's contracted ricketts

Off Topic here is a testament to that

Another Essex dog here. Born and raised, till i was 19. Born Dagenham, but moved to a mile from Aveley at 2 1/2 years old, and stayed there till i moved on. Secondary school at South Ockendon, which closed a year after i left. Nothing to do with me, though. Honest

Nice to hear praise for a big company as well as the horror stories. If only more corporate giants had this attitude to the man/woman in the street

Strangely, i WAS a drummer when i took music up in a serious fashion. I played guitar at school, but not very good at it. I could never get where i wanted to be as a drummer. Even though i battled on to the early 2000's i was getting unhappy with my lack of progress, so i switched to bass and have never looked back. I found i was better on bass than i ever was on drums, and have now been on the bass for about 17/18 years.

As above, but a sheet music stand https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/Heavy-Duty-Orchestral-Conductor-Sheet-Music-Stand-Holder-Tripod-Base-Foldable-UK/6031187280?iid=113625689537&chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&itemid=113625689537&targetid=522577548423&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9046134&poi=&campaignid=1782815748&mkgroupid=70885937642&rlsatarget=pla-522577548423&abcId=1139356&merchantid=7308734&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIz_jA0eSe5QIVzkPTCh18gwO9EAQYASABEgLJ5PD_BwE

I've been friends with John since 1990, and i met him through a friend and jammed with him back then. He's always been the nicest guy and incredibly helpful. He was on the digital team that built a monstrous desk for Pete Gabriel. What he doesnt know about electronics could be etched on the perforated edge of a 1st class stamp

Oh my good grief. Its now been 17 years since i joined ? JHC , the grey beard and tache of mine now makes sense.

Yup, and no. Depends on venue. We use an RCF Sub 705 AS ll and Yamaha tops Yamaha tops have a sub out with x-over . Sub also has a x-over at 110 or 80hz https://www.mercury-av.com/sales/RCF-SUB705-AS-II.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIyP38t-aP5QIVj0DTCh1BUQnkEAQYAyABEgIS9_D_BwE

Camden rob might be near Camden

Add spelling mistakes to that.

I'm not falling for that old chestnut

Those 2 killer albums were definitive. Superb writing

No need to post twice
