Also played at St Mary’s Chambers on Friday in Rossendale. Decent enough - rougher than I’d have liked as we’ve been away on holiday for 2 weeks and the guys haven’t rehearsed (fair enough 🤷🏻‍♂️) photos by our very own @Dankology

It was blummin great - Played Middleton Arena supporting The Chameleons. half seated (full) and half standing (filled up as we played) so probably 200-250 people watching (think 550 tickets sold). Tried some new tunes. Hired bass rig was a fender rumble 500 combo - very decent little amp - would’ve preferred my own rig, but it was a shared bill and a second kit was on stage floor in front of the riser for the chameleons drummer. Took the Casady and the ripper - but stuck with the ripper to cover all ground. Just “home” as far as my basses are concerned. some good feedback too…

100% then I p/exd it to buy a Warwick - in fairness I had that Warwick until 2010

Haven’t played a new fender in ages - I do recall the 2013(?) American Standards - when they introduced the custom shop pickups etc - they were bloody lovely basses. @Lozz196 will correct me I’m sure. I’d love another Fender at some point. Always wonder what happened to my sunburst 1997 jazz i bought with money I got doing work experience and a paper round. id know it anywhere - had a weird tweak/knot on the forearm contour under the finish.

I genuinely think they’ll box it clever and just go on stage and get the job done. Noel’s divorce ain’t cheap. The cynic in me thinks the acrimonious relationship has been a way to keep both brothers in the news. i will say, I have enjoyed both brothers solo output. Council Skies by NGHFB and c’Mon You Know by LG are in rotation. I will say - Oasis probably did more for Epiphone in the 90’s than any ad campaign could ever hope to achieve.

I hope Bonehead is involved, he’s a mate of a mate - by all accounts a bloody lovely bloke.

I’ll be going, and I’ll be taking my 2 teenagers - because all the negativity people seem to put on them as a band/solo artists doesn’t make an ounce of difference to me and what happened when I heard them for the first time aged 11. they were massive for me. saw them 3 times - once on their last (I think) tour. No matter what people think of them - for a lot of people, they were an era defining band. shame that guigsy/bonehead most likely won’t be involved - the word is that it’s Liam/Noel and the High Flying Birds as the rest of the band.

I took the tiger out with a can of mace…but the shop keeper and his son…that was a different story altogether… I had to beat them to death with their own shoes…

Had 2 from August 16th. not sure I’ve made the right choice… but.. here it is. attractively named “August 2024” I’m currently on holiday so this is just a demo idea sent to the band from earlier In the month rather than a specific recording. I like the idea that the pacey parts are the bike’s former life racing down hills and the angrier parts (namely drums) are the crazed destruction that let to the house and the bike being knackered together… https://on.soundcloud.com/GD1NoyK5d1qKCxd28

In all honesty, I’m 13 years younger than the drummer, 9 years younger than the singer and I dress like a 17 year old…so…I not only look younger, but also totally ridiculous too 🤣 my beard adds years. i could pass for 30 if I shaved it off. Mrs T says I look about 13 when I do shave - she hates it.

Yeah - if he’s not willing to play the game, he’s either lazy or dodgy.

I’d want to see it in person - I will say, my gut instinct says it’s legit. I’m sure some internal shots would confirm, and some stamp pics. poor effort from seller - but not necessarily a shady deal.

That’s going on my headstone

You’re worse than me 😂

Looks like a First Act Delia shape… But not the headstock. looks blummin lovely

Tell her you’re picking it up for me 😘😂

yeah I’m in Lanzarote so even if I fancied a long drive from Manchester I’m nowhere near - it’ll be long gone by then

Damn bargain of the month if that’s not a scam. id make good use of that… nevermind

Oh bollocks. Im on holiday.

Back in the fold - my Pelham Blue Jack Casady

yeah - saw that. absolutely no need for it. thought of this thread straight away

Yes. It’s based in copper. whut.
