Only got this sorted lunchtime today...

After we lost an upcoming gig a few weeks ago, I was panicing a bit. The one band has secured three plus a few promises/backup lists and I got a gig for the other band tomorrow. Now just hope the mass of messages (about 40) I sent out doesn't bring a tidal wave of offers!

For £70-90 you could buy a harley benton kit with an oversize, unshaped headstock and a bonus box of bits that are mostly surprisingly serviceable and a very light, unfinished body.

Good Jazz bands do. I've seen established ones with long reputations that don't...

Leave the first one out? A popular trick.

Is there some imperative for shortening it?

I pay no fees. The recipient takes a tiny % hit.

On the other hand, I save around £30 a month by using PayPal business to pay international suppliers, they get paid instantly instead of after potentially weeks (or moths in the case of Australia (where normal payments fail more often than succeed) or America (where many people have banks that don't accept international payments(!))

The letter says what I'd expect. I can't see any reason why the legislation would place an onerous burden on Basschat.

Not possible to get to London that early on a Sunday

Jaco re-incarnated on Sax!

I saw the Ghost-queue in Birmingham on Sunday and they were explaining how everyone would get their phones bagged. The Hawkwind gig was pretty good, people mostly just took the odd snapshot so no sea of videoing phones.

I asked Scott and he said they don't like Sadowsky basses because they are shite. Joke...

Just found this video of their opening song, the only played off the new album! A pretty mellow introduction. Then Traveller of Time and Space off the previous one.
