Look very impressive! My wallet’s trying to creep away to a safe dark corner …

Yep, couldn’t have put it better myself 😊

Yes indeed! Love my Two Monzas, usually just use the one as most of my gigs are through the PA these days, but they really are quite amazing little units. X😊

Just back from our usual 2 nights at Trading Boundaries Christmas gigs. Lovely intimate atmosphere as always and only just under an hour’s drive away from home. Both nights went very well and I always feel Xmas is here on these occasions. Happy Christmas everyone, my best wishes to you all 😊

Well, going by my experience i really wouldn’t… but good luck all the same 🫤

Few years too late but Skinner’s sheds, based in or near Rye East Sussex I believe. Ordered a shed for my mum’s back garden,paid for it to be erected there aswell. Made a base out of old railway sleepers, checked with a two metre level for trueness etc.(I’m a flooring contractor so I know a thing or two about levels etc. unfortunately i couldn’t get there in time when they delivered it and were supposed to build it. When I got there the bastards had dumped all the shed panels leaning against the apple tree and apparently the f**kers had said that the base wasn’t level enough!! I asked mum if she had seen them check it and she said no they hadn’t. Obviously no intention whatsoever of ever doing it anyway. I rang the office and spoke to this f**king tosser who was not only rude but thick as f**k with it too. Looking back, the good side was me and my brother put up the shed with much greater care and attention than they would have done, and said shed is still standing happily today with no problems, oh, but not enough roofing felt was supplied either, so we had to sort that out. So please, if you’re after a new shed, don’t get it from that lot!! aaaahh, i feel better for that. Rant over 🤣x

Just home from a great gig up at the stables in Milton Keynes with the Phil Collins tribute’ no jacket required’. Fantastic audience as usual and always such a pleasure and privilege to play at this wonderful venue. Some guy donated £1000,(yes £1000) to our charity the bridge house trust for the homeless. Another kind person gave £100! Never ceases to amaze me , our audiences appreciation and generosity .Decided to use my status empathy 5, it’s been a while since it’s had an outing but really enjoyed playing it.A lovely thing indeed. ‘Appy days!😊

Ibanez musician mc924, best bass he ever played by a mile! 😊

My tec amp puma 900 is 600watts at 8 ohms and sounds fantastic through my monza (s) x 😊

Ok it’s a jazz rather than a precision, but i just brought the 32 scale anaconda ultra J elite off of Bernard on here last week and have to say it’s a bloody fantastic bass, hand made in north London. Worth checking them out .Really impressed with it so far. 😊

I think sabbath were at their best with Dio , mob rules being my favourite. The intro to turn up the night still gives me goosebumps. Slipping away is a savage riff/bass line. .Brilliant stuff 😊

I still use my shuttle 9.2 quite often, it’s aclass act. have a streamliner 9 but don’t use it so much these days. Used to have 2 neo x 112 cabs when they first came out,they were great too . Quality gear for sure 😊. Enjoy x

I think round wounds are much more versatile really, glad you’re happy and enjoying new choice x 😊

Yes, a drummer who i know asked if I could stand in for one rehearsal…. So i went for the craic. Not particularly impressed with the outfit but it meant they got a run through. 40 miles round trip and I never got offered petrol money 🤣.Driving back I did wonder why I’d agreed to do it… but there you go!! 🤣

Bernie Goodfellow makes a 32” spitfire model i believe, I’m sure he could tweak one of those for you x

Fab basses, love my two. Enjoy! X 😊

Played a boozer in Worthing (the Egremont) with our AC/DC tribute’BAD BOY BOOGIE’. Hard to believe that the band’s been going for 30 years! We’re all old mates and it’s such a laugh. Only do about 3/4 gigs a year with it now but it’s always a craic and last night was no exception. Got a lift too so enjoyed having a few beers with it as well. We dress up with the wigs and all that and don’t take ourselves seriously but the audience always love it, who doesn’t like a bit of DC ! Actually got another one nxt Friday at the cavern in new Malden. Rock ‘n roll xx🤣

Don’t forget the USA Sterlings either, wonderful basses, jazz type necks, smaller bodies, slightly more aggressive tone but more versatile in my opinion and experience x

Hi, we’re playing at the factory in Worthing soon if you’re interested, can’t remember the exact date off hand but think early November 😊

Great sold out home town gig at the Capitol theatre in Horsham tonight ( ok last night now🤣) with the Phil Collins tribute. My set up really inspires my confidence, my trusty Wal, Tecamp puma 900 and and the fabulous LFsys monza cab, an amazing little monitor. Thought we may be a bit rusty as it’s been a while since the last one but pleased to say everyone was’on it ‘ an the audience were amazing! We collect money for a homeless charity by selling t shirts etc. we don’t put a price on things, we just ask people to give what they feel is manageable for them and tonight we collected over a £1000 for the bridge house trust, based in Tunbridge wells. Peoples generosity is very humbling sometimes x

Glad to see you took the plunge Ewan, i didn’t think you’d be disappointed with one. When you use it first time in a band /jam situation you’ll be amazed at the dispersion and how you can hear yourself, i know i was ! Welcome to the club! 😊Enjoy mate x
