I should have known better shouldn't I? 😂

Great gig tonight albeit a little weird. We've just played at the world sheep shearing championships😶

Me, I like this one.

Right, clear your desk out now and get your coat. I'll have security escort you from the building.😂

Thanks Dood, much appreciated.

My brother now lives near Dereham. Any recommendations for a good, reasonably priced luthier? Any suggestions appreciated.

Any of the biggies by the Beach Boys. Especially, Wouldn't it be nice, Good vibrations or California girls. Also, as already mentioned, Summer, the first time. Now, totally naff but still conjours up the hot humid summer feel.

Played well, paid well but the distance was a bit too much for me. 520 kms round trip. Left home at 1.45pm yesterday, got in this morning at 6.45am. It was a double 50th birthday celebration. Lovely hosts, great food and whatever we wanted in the way of drink (not me, I drove back so orange and lemonade all night) Probably all in for next couple of days. By the way, when we started playing, it was still 28 degrees, at nearly 10.pm!!

Too true, Stan Webb used to use a 30 footer.

No- no's are, music stand, Daily mail, Moondance and that clip together instrument stand. (Possibly)😂

Great example of a faux pas, posting your reply twice😉

And secondly, Moondance isn't worth the trouble of reading😂

Well, for a start, it's "faux pas"😂

Thanks for the reply. I actually went for the Clip in the end, not the pedal as apparently, they're even more accurate than the pedals. (So they say)😂

Sorted, checked out all the reviews and feedback, gone for the TC Polytune. Thanks to all who replied.

Thanks both of you. I'll check them both out.

Been using the built in tuner on a Zoom B2 multi effects pedal but the input jack is iffy and it's always struggled with the low B so need a dedicated tuner pedal. Checked out the Ashdown bass tuner but reviews are not great so, any suggestions for one that does all strings quickly and efficiently would be welcome. If there is anything out there that's bass dedicated, please let me know.

National Fete de la musique here in France. Did a dep tonight, absolutely brilliant gig. Great welcome, big venue, great mix, set was perfect for the venue and got to play some cool tunes with some great players. Good money too.

Well, it went great. Added bonus of the best sound guy I've ever met. Perfect mix in 3 minutes and didnt have to tweak anything in the whole set. The agent was there too and gave them a second gig straight away. Hopefully, they'll need a bass player for that one too.😂

That's me and Moondance.😂

It's my Mustang Sally that everyone else moans about. I however, quite like it.

Depping on Thursday up in Tours and looking at the setlist, I'm actually going to enjoy this one😊 Only playing an hour set but.....the pros Breakdown & Lowdown Boz Scaggs, Randy's version of Purple rain, Just the two of us (Grover long version) You can leave your hat on, Now that the magic has gone, N'oubliez jamais and With a little help as the sax player does a great Joe Cocker, On the beach Chris Rea, The Ghetto George Benson, Sensa una Madonna, Zucherro and Europa Santana. This is shaping up to be a very enjoyable gig. The cons, Moondance and Domino. Guess every good gig has a price😂

Where?

At the moment, the one I love playing is Put it where you want it. Simple tune from the Crusaders, but just love it.

I reckon what you've got there mate is an E, an A, a D and a G. Assuming of course, they're all different thicknesses.
