  1. To me, weddings and functions is what you do for moneyn there's so much extra responsibility and hassle. Pub/club gigs are what you do for love of playing.
  2. I didn't know Liberace had a wooden leg as well as a milky eye.
  3. I have a Hohner chord harmonica with 6 bass notes.
  4. Not a huge one, but last night put my hand in my pocket to pull out a plectrum as the song started... and found my car keys. Managed to find it in about a bar. Biggest near-cock up was getting overexcited playing a 5 on the last encore and switching in chorus, then a HM2, then an octaver and enjoying some huge low notes. At the end I turned round and my amp head was rocking on the edge of the speaker cab like the bus in the Italian Job.
  5. Got the t-shirt... TU-3 set a semitone flat. Luckily realised when I got to second string!
  6. I'll just observe that if you cross your eyes and overlap two different hats, the results are odd.
  7. Glad the Jet Star delivered. Those folded towel heads are a bit muffled imho...
  8. I imagine someone who pulls the legs off spiders doing that to instruments.
  9. You could use it to wrap around that ramp hidden in your bottom drawer...
  10. That would hae me awake until dawn! 🤣
  11. My dep last night went well. Hardest thing was many songs in different keys. Busy, noisy pub with dancing from the start. Plenty of room. A lot of songs I haven't done live before, a couple of older Beatles numbers for example, and Mama Mia. Cold as Ice by Foreigner and No Matter What by Badfinger are great songs I hadn't heard for ages I really enjoyed. Apparently I was a bit loud in the first half but corrected that in the second. Managed a few backing vocals. Had a message from the band saying I was 'brill' so that's nice.
  12. I'm thinking 'lovely bass spoilt by peculiar headstock...' then I realised it's on a grab stand!
  13. Looks close to Pantone 600 to me.
  14. What would be informative is a bass through an hpf into an oscilloscope. It's an eye opener. Without hpf rest your hand on the strings and the trace disappears off the screen for a moment.
  15. Very nice 😎 Are you really going to encapsulate that lovely ebony in plastic?
  16. With Farnell you get the certificates of traceability/quality documentation needed by manufacturers.
  17. The ring finger is Allen Key and the wrist is the neck. You just need to choose the correct diagram based on the phase of them moon.
  18. The sound was so bad I couldn't tell if they werd awful. The supports, Phil Campbell and Michael Monroe were both brilliant.
  19. Happened to me once. The £250 was credited back to me faster than I was ablevto Google what to do about it. In short it should be reversed automatically within a couple of hours. Mine took a few minutes.
