Indeed @Stub Mandrel, that's what our previous drummer had. He's says they are expensive, but the price will give him peace of mind. The conundrum is how come the kick drum was fine the first time out. We have some time before our next gig to sort this out.

Ours hasn't got one, yet!

Back at The Burton in Brixham last night. Our guitarist daughter and BF, along with his family travelled down from Macclesfield to see us. The first set was a bit loose in places, but we got through ok. Our drummer was using his new Mapex kit with an 18" kick drum for theses small pubs. Last time it was fine, but this time the kick drum was moving so I spent the second set with my left foot on on of the legs. I adjusted my mic stand and had to stand fairly still. Overall a good night, and our next gig there has been moved to NYE. My usual rig and Skechers.

Love the Dark Ray there @woodyratm

Ellen is great. I subscribe to her YouTube channel. I also subscribe to the SBL channel and have seen the Mohini Dey video and was seriously blown away by her.

Probllably done with Photoshop, so OK?

I like what she has done to the Ric headstock logo on the image for her youtube channel. Rickenbecky!

Great photo there @DawnPatroller .Better than the blurry one you sent to me and @SteveXFR.

You can still give it a thumbs down.

Dave, you'll need to provide Fahrenheit temperatures for Daryl.

Back at the Queens Arms in Brixham last night. Its a cosy corner for bands, and our drummer had recently bought a smaller kit consisting of 18" bass drum (down from 24"), rack & floor tom. It really helped fir us in and sounded good to. We did a tribute to Ozzy by playing War Pigs, Crazy Train & Paranoid together in the 2nd set. There was a large group seated in a corner who were really enjoying it and were in fine voice singing along. My usual rig of StingRay 2eq, RM500 & BF210. My Skechers are starting to show some signs of wear, but are comfy and I don't wear by best pairt to gigs. We played well and had a good night.

We need to see a photo of the Ray from the OP. I have a 92 StingRay 2eq that is my main bass, but even if it wasn't I'd never sell it.

I've had plenty of my ideal gigs back in the day when I was in my mid 20's and lived in Hong Kong and gigged a lot on the ex-pat scene PA & back-line provided, so only needed to carry my gig bag. A busy pub with an appreciative audience who wanted a good time. Free alcohol all night for the band. Decent pay. Spending my gig money in my favorite bar afterwards, usually accompanied by our drummer. The sort with Filipino dancers where you buy them expensive soft drinks for the pleasure of their company. Enough left for a taxi home. For just me in case you were wondering about the above. I'm now much older and drive to gigs so don't drink or go to any bars afterwards.

I wonder what its like trying to tune this latest 'creation' with the tuners furthest away pointing away from you if you are holding the guitar normally. Yet again, another Sharpie signature on the headstock to devalue it even more.

Another Pro Steels user here too. Great strings.
