Just got back from a great gig at The Queens Arms in Brixham with a good crowd who were very appreciative. It was an 11pm finish which helps with loosing an hour too. We played well, although there were a few 'moments' but we always get through them. I had my usual rig of Stingray 2eq, RM500 evo ii and BF210. Also, wearing my usual Skechers which are very comfortable. We have recently got a new mixer, as our old started to play up so it was quick replaced, which has worked wonders with our sound. It's well organized with wall mounted speaker brackets and lights, so less gear to bring. We don't bother with the sub here either. As with all the pubs we play at we get a free drink each (JD & Coke for me)and tonight that also included a couple of free lime and sodas which is my gigging drink as I drive. Bit of a break now till the next gig, but we'll work on some new songs.

I've recently been given an old Milestone 3 and am impressed by it.

His lemon may have been magnificent, but it's bitter so not the sweetest thing.

Our first gig of the year last night at the Coach House in Paignton. A good crowd for us who got into it as the night went on. Towards the end of the first set our guitarist was out front soloing and told me after the song that I was not loud enough out front, so I duly boosted my PA level. Chatted to a couple of appreciative people along the way. My calouses felt like they got a work out as it been a couple of months since I've played live. Got a couple more gigs over the next month, but only 11 booked for this year so far. Using my usual Stingray 2eq, RM500 & BF210. I was also wearing my Sketchers.

Does he grow any lemons?

Some sites let you purchase as a guest, without all the hassle of setting up an account, which is fine if you don't anticipate using them them again in a while. Maybe that option will be phased out?

Well, we've had 4 drummers depart too (none of which had died luckily) and one has returned for a second stint.

Sounds great Daryl, especially the beer fridge. Good luck. Lookin forward to hearing all about it.

A couple of good threads about this subject already if you sesrch. Go custom molded is the general consensus.

Some good suggestions. Whatever you go for when smoothing or sanding use really fine wet and dry, and mask off the area around it.

I unfollowed this discussion after the numerous off topic posts about VPN's. I thought I'd drop back in see if it had reverted back to being on topic, but in a crazy example of people getting really caught up in off topic discussions I'm now learning all about ULEZ and fines. I wonder what I'll read about in a days time?

I've posted this before. Back during the lockdown era our band rehearsed with a guy they know on bass for a gig I wouldn't do. I got this text message from our guitarist. The 3 of us (singer, guitarist and myself) have been together for 20 years next year along with 4 different drummers, so replacing any of us would feel odd. Our son was drummer #3 and rejoined the band after 6 years of drummer #4 (Dave in the text). That was difficult enough for us until our son rejoined earlier this year and the band really felt it was back together. When you have a great line up it's not easy to to replace anyone.

I don't belive there is. Looks like the thread got derailed with all the chat about VPN's!
