Still going here. This gig was two weeks ago.

Update. Did our first gig last night with our man just 6 days out of plaster. Have to say, he was a hero. Played really well considering some discomfort, mainly from lack of use. Personally, I was pushing to postpone his first gig but, he wanted to get back into it. Luckily, I had a new Dunlop wrist support in the car which I gave him. Seemed to help a lot and by the end of the gig, he was absolutely fine. Just hoping this won't set him back though. We've another tonight and he's playing with his other band tomorrow. He's certainly no snowflake.😂

Nuff said.

Yeah, I thought that too.

Blimey, this all starting to sound quite serious judging by your experiences. Lucky it wasn't me eh?😆

Nope, he does own a bass though and is actually quite good😏

Lead solos? Probably only on about 25% of numbers and then nothing long. We're (instrument wise) a 3 piece so he spends most of his time playing chords be they strummed or arpeggio as he's filling our sound out. I'd say his job is more similar to the Edge or Andy Summers rather than a lead guitarist. I'll speak to him tonight and find out how bad the actual injury is.

Really hope that's not the case Pete. We have about 30 booked this summer and quite a few are private functions that the singer's other band really won't suit.

Our man fell off his bike it seems and now in plaster for three weeks + physio. Season just about starting here so bit of a blow really. Luckily for clients and venues, singer's other band can cover the next 5 or 6 gigs although their setlist is a lot less "party" than ours. Can't really get a dep in either as no time for them to get to grips with our set and although I hate to admit it, he's also pretty irreplaceable😆 Ah well, at least i'll be able to get some serious upright practice in.

Dave Sanborn on May 10th up at Ronnie's. His acoustic band.

These bassists playing with mid cut smiley face EQ, just out of curiosity, did they all have short fair hair, red braces and a Status/Alembic /Jaydee bass?

Never heard of it so, inkeeping with my quest for knowledge and experience, I have just Googled an image of the film poster. That was all I needed to review this film. It's s h I t

On guitar, Green onions, on bass, How long (Ace)

As the total opposite of the last gig, last night I got to play with probably the best drummer I've ever met. Timing to die for, total empathy for the song and complete awareness of what everyone else is playing. Bass, drums, sax and guitar. Loved playing with three people who aren't tied to a structure if the mood dictates taking the number elsewhere. Probably the now hold the world record for the longest ever version of Put it where you want it😂

That's Goldfinger!!! Stop getting Bond wrong😂

His name was, Dr Julius No and whilst he carried out most of his world domination work from his fortified stronghold in the Caribbean, his actual home address was 27, Tenby Avenue, Walthamstow, London E17 which coincidentally, is also on a bungalow estate.

I put it you, that you indeed do possess a box containing this very game, secreted in a cupboard under your stairs, and don't even attempt to deny it by spinning the old "bungalow" story. We've heard that one too often.

But apparently missed, as I spotted him "down Mexico way" a few days later.

Does anyone on B.C know who did actually shoot the deputy?

Yes yes yes, these replies and suggestions are all very interesting blah de blah de blah, but at no point has ANYONE (including the OP) actually considered whether his wife actually wants, or needs, a bass guitar for her birthday

Hi Richard, I've recently acquired two EUBs and both sound great through a little EBS session 60 combo. Cheap as chips secondhand (about £100 - £120) and plenty loud enough. Loads of great features too.

Sorry to hear this Daryl. Something will turn up. You have a professional and dedicated attitude that wont go unnoticed I'm sure.

Tonight, nightmare. Jazzy acoustic duo gig. Me on guitar + singer. The singer asked a drummer she'd met at my New year's Eve party to join us for the night. I warned her but she said it'll be okay. I was right, prize silly billy. Never again. Told me on three occasions that he couldn't gel with my strumming pattern and I'd have to play differently. Then, says he'd like a drum solo in a particularly lively number. No problem, away you go. Singer turns, "On the drums, jean-francois" at which point he shouts, " you need to tell me earlier" gets up from the kit, comes over to me (yes, mid song) and points out that he'll need me to play a chord at the start of each 8. You couldn't make it up. Not sure whether I should be laughing or crying about this. Foot-note, I didn't use the term "silly-billy" when I wrote this.😂

Never had any contact with him and of course, it's sad to hear of anyone's passing but especially, a BC member who was obviously very highly thought of by all those that knew him. RIP, and condolences to his family and friends.

Well, the infamous Dean Pace 5 is now in my possession courtesy of Andy. Really nice guy, easy to deal with and a pleasure to meet. Even made a generous contribution towards the extortionate fee that that nice Mr Ryanair is charging me to throw, or kick it into the hold for an hour or two in order to get it back to France😂 Buy from, or sell to, with complete confidence.
