Cheers Dad, I reckoned you would get it

I'm in, this one was great fun but probably a bit daft even for me I offer you .... https://soundcloud.com/lurksalot/dustsheets I hope you can get through it, its a bit long for me

I had to wait to a fortnight for strings marked as in stock , and really poor comms , I don't mind a wait if someone tells me to expect it , but a message costs next to bugger all and saves a lot of frustration

[quote name='Leonard Smalls' timestamp='1496735342' post='3313446'] Note to self: Must read before posting! I meant sound absorbing thingummies dangling from the ceiling! I've left the committee to it for the moment... They seem to think that monitors aren't necessary (!), but I did convince them of the need for mics... The problem is they've spent more than £10k on a ridiculous electric screen that can divide the hall, but no-one is allowed to use it in case it gets broken. You couldn't make it up! [/quote] Maybe but do you remember the metalwork shop with Mr Bruce , he had a brand new top dollar milling machine that only the A-level students could use ...... they never ever offered A-level in his subjects , it probably just rusted itself solid , same meat different gravy

Radar love as it's all over a new film coming out and has always been a classic , oh and war pigs as lead guitar fancies w***ing all over it

Sellers who withdraw their item after you offer the asking price , like " sh*t , someone wants this as much as I do, so I won't sell it now "

Yes indeed, well done mr frog shot 👍

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1496171280' post='3309350'] I think it was some kind of short-scale Guild. [/quote] Shortscale will soon be[b] the[/b] thing , but hopefully not till I've moved my long necks on

weighed in, weighed in a great selection again , with 5 standing out, requiring a difficult cull to my 3 , well done all

Very pleased with last nights gig from a performance aspect, less so from a crowd perspective. It was supposed to be a big party gig for the landlords retirement , but he left last week and the bank holiday weekend meant the turnout was a bit shy , we had some dancing , but not the normal antics from that pub. On a massive plus, I blooded a new bass in last night and I loved it , a gretsch junior jet shortscale, it felt just like it was always meant to be in my hands and sounded lovely. A big up to graham from Dawson's in chester who recommended it to me , I upset Mrs Lurks when I told her I could sell all my other guitars now , she complained that I wasn't allowed to because of the guitar brackets on the walls would look awful without guitars hanging on them

Friday night at my local was our second outing and it was much more confident than the first , one or two interesting moments of improvisation but overall it went OK, it was well recieved and we got re-booked fro July , overheard some really good comments among the punters too. so onto a fairly big gig next weekend , its the retirement do for the landlord of a pub we played regularly in our old format and we were his favorite booking , so , no pressure there then

I walked these into the shop and a guy asked about them , he gave the shop £40 and I helped him put them in his car

I'll give these till the weekend then i'll run them down to the Roy Castle charity shop .

Yep , a very pleasant guy to purchase from , excellent comms , very pleased with everything Cheers Pete

They are not the thing though now are they, everyone wants active , so do I 😀

It great to be back in this thread !! The new line up were out tonight , effectively the old lineup less rhythm guitar , so a bit more space and a bit more work , new songs and new arrangements of old ones. It went well enough , a new venue as well , so getting the sound right proved a bit troublesome , but after about 6 songs we dialled in and it worked really well . Back on the road again😊
