T-Bay

I have a cheap one that I use mostly for home practice but used it once at a gig. I have a small Roland cube (battery powered) and just stuck that under my stool. It worked well and the batteries did the 90mins no problem. Without that it would been useless.

Tell me about it, I spent several hours trawling everything I could find using every search term I could think would work (Silverfish isn’t a great name for that!) but in luck. I am now pretty sure it was May the 23rd but still can’t be 100%. Gallon drink certainly seem likely, as they were at other dates with them last year, but it just doesn’t ring a bell at all. Knowing there are a few Therapy? Fans on here I thought it was worth an ask.

It is a very useful thing, I would happily buy a hard copy if one existed. I keep meaning to print a copy out and spiral bind it but never get around to it.

It’s come up as a pic for some reason, but double click on it and you will get the full manual.

This is a stunning resource for anyone into the electrics side of things: only in German but most of it is self explanatory and there is a German-English bit for the technical terms at the end.

I am not sure on Gallon Drunk, I sort of assumed it would be a light bulb moment when I heard the name and I would go ‘that’s the one!’, It would be nice if I could find confirmation either way.

Sadly neither of them, but thanks for the suggestions.

They were with them Some other dates on the tour but it doesn’t ring a bell at all and I don’t recognise any of their songs. I thought they were a northern band as well but could be wrong on that.

Nope, but thanks anyway, they were an all male group, pretty sure they were a four piece but could have been five. Definitely weren’t a trio as I distinctly remember the lead singer and he wasn’t playing as well. I have just drawn a blank trying to research it, it may have been May 93 but again I am far from sure.

I know this is a long shot but here goes, I saw Therapy and Silverfish play at Rock city in the early 90s, I think 93 but could be wrong. There was a third band on the bill but I cannot for the life of me remember who it was, they were one of the darlings of NME at the time but beyond that I am lost. I have searched every source I can think,of with no luck. So I thought it was worth an ask on here in case anyone either had any knowledge of where I could find the info, or even better, was there.

I saw that and just sat there shaking my head.

It’s good value even at full price if you use any of the extras, I don’t think my level of playing and frequency of gigs (7 last year) really justify now but it may change in the future.

That’s a big saving! I looked at that a while back but I seem to recall that it was quite expensive if you just wanted the insurance side of it. Obviously a different matter if you use their other services.

Not wanting to ask any personal details, but wondering what sort of ball park figures people are paying just to insure their kit?

As long as it’s a Fender or Gibson around here. If I take my Ibanez or Aria I always get one punter coming up saying I should buy a Fender/ Gibson. When I point out I have both they usually give look which says ‘why is not here then’ and walk away. It’s also amazing how many ex bass plating Trace Elliot owners there are in the average pub crowd.

TE V8! Very nice.

I love it, sadly it’s beyond my disposal income at this time but it is beautiful.

Thanks!

How did you find when it was made? Was that from the serial number?

It’s just for fun so whatever you want, I started with one I wasn’t at, but it doesn’t matter either way.

Bargain for someone local, would be ideal as a cheap starter for a kid or a donor for bits.

to be fair I have been bought two of the new acquisitions so I didn’t spend a great deal of time looking for them and another one ‘found’ me as it were. The one I am making will mostly be done at work when I get I early in the morning before I start, it’s only 20-30 minutes 2-3 times a week but it all adds up.

That sounds familiar, I got down to 4 but will be back up to 7 by Christmas, then 8 when I finish the one I am building.

That tour was my first experience of a big group, I was 16 and at the Assembly rooms in Derby with my then girlfriend. I was right at the front and my ears didn’t stop ringing for a few days (not good). They were supported by Wolfsbane with Blaze Bailey up front.

That is how I have always taken it as well. So what would be a refusal I wonder?
