    Sorry. Totally zero context. intimate 2 hour set from Marcus Miller and band at Ronnie Scott’s - Mrs T got tickets for my 40th. It was phenomenal really. Only about 15ft away from the man himself as he regaled us with stories and anecdotes and played a blinding set. Started off with Panther, did numerous other favourites - including Run for cover which was unbeatable really. was funny, as we queued up - a small unassuming guy walked towards the entrance with a Tracksuit top and Jeans on, big rucksack…and a pork pie hat… He literally walked in as we were going through the door - very chilled and cool. some moron soup guy grabbed him for a selfie - didn’t seem too happy about that so I didn’t get to say hello…met his keys player afterwards who was a serious player. Anyhow - if you’re ever at Ronnie Scott’s, don’t bother with their food 😂

    Erm…

    First EP
  4. AndyTravis
    just been added, officially meant to release Monday…but whatever
  5. AndyTravis
    Yeah - they self disassemble, quite the quirk 🤦🏻‍♂️
  6. AndyTravis
    Yep, so on the soundcloud clip the main body is middle settings, like a gritty sound… the bigger sounds/more gain are the top and bottom switch settings. gets into that spiky synth level in a lovely way…it’s a great sounding thing - but I get close with 2 pedals together and can switch them in and out and use their individual sounds for different tracks
  7. AndyTravis
    Might actually need this to stay until 21/07 - typically, been asked to do an acoustic set on a BBC Manchester show 🤦🏻‍♂️

    How do. Got this a while ago, been working on 3 stages of OD, but have settled on 2. Really beautiful thing. Kerry Lambert (Zero Fret) makes this in various small batches - this is a few years old as he’s now branched out into fancy graphics etc. https://on.soundcloud.com/3BWdByvCinK2xXxc7 That’s what it sounds like…various settings used. Collect is fine, postage will be £5 or so.

    Sales. ”look Ted, these basses - we’re selling hundreds…I can’t keep up!!!” ”I’ve got an idea Mike…STEPS. Make the headstock like some hamster steps…you’ll sell f*ck all and the internet will mock you for years…” ”thanks Ted, you’re ace at really stupid ideas…” ”I know”
  10. AndyTravis
    Did we do this nonsense yet?
  11. AndyTravis
    You buy it - rip the frets out…you’d be such an idiot not to 😉
  12. AndyTravis
    I know…I know… I just…don’t use my 3 fretless bass enough without doing another
  13. AndyTravis
    These have been booked for 2/3 months for August/September. I suspect bigger festivals are 6-10 months ahead.

    Well we went down the route of “exposure” - but all covered travel expenses when we asked. Not earning, but not losing money. The latest one though I said we need £400 as they were late booking us and they’ve gone for it. I do recall playing a bigger festival in 2008 and getting £650 and tickets/travel but once we actually looked at it we lost £100’s as a van full of gear from Manchester to IOW was a dear do - We did play to a few thousand and traffic to websites etc went up for a bit. died off quickly enough as various band members had issues at that time. Cant believe I stayed on for another 3 years

    We’ve ended up on 3 smaller local festivals this summer. We sent off some demos and to be fair 5 got back to us - 2 ended up being when various members of the band are on holiday. Havent played a festival since 2008 so after a hiatus; I’m looking forward to it.
  16. AndyTravis
    Yeah - sonically it does a great Jack Casady/Woody P. The 3 band Eq is ace - I just wish I had the balls to defret it, but I have that sound covered without devaluation of a lovely bass. Lovely thing.
  17. AndyTravis
    Will entertain offers - just bought bubble wrap and have shipping boxes etc.
  18. AndyTravis
    Sadly accurate Poor and Old.

    https://on.soundcloud.com/r8nAX5Y2zznzWA3v8 “well, I’ve said I’m sorry…what more do they want?!” a rare outing for my Yamaha BB, Yamaha FG and other software synth bits… vocal sample from bbc news - I pay my TV licence so it’s fair game…
  20. AndyTravis
    I just found it interesting - I presumed they were just scam bots sending blanket messages… turns out they’re reading the ads 😂
  21. AndyTravis
    See…if the Yamaha BEX I’m flogging goes…I’d find it impossible to not buy this…
  22. AndyTravis
    Weirdly if you add a disclaimer at the bottom of your ad on Facebook “no scammers - I won’t let courier collect for an envelope of cash, or your cousin who’s passing on business cannot collect etc” it seems to reduce the volume of scammers
  23. AndyTravis
    Yeah had two in the last month. really bored of dealing with scammers now, it’s bloody rife.
  24. AndyTravis
    Marcus Miller at Ronnie Scott’s next weekend
