  1. Steve, is that the Coach House? They offered us the 3rd.
  2. We were offered an indoor pub gig on October 3rd before the latest round of restrictions were introduced. Our band hasn't rehearsed since lockdown. I said I wasn't comfortable rehearing in our guitarist house and less comfortable with the gig, given the increased infection rate etc. The rest were fairly keen to gig and tried out a friend to dep. The result was that they realised how good and irreplaceable i am 😎 and didn't want to water down the band for the gig.
  3. The article I read is dated 10th September. Confusion reigns!
  4. This from the BBC News site. Live gigs will not be allowed.
  5. Gumtree don't charge fees as such. You can pay to highlight your advert in a few ways if you really need to. If it doesn't sell after 30 days you have to pay to re-list it.
  6. Certain ads seem to attract this response. I've had a couple and they all go quiet after requesting cash on collection. Otherwise I'm pleased with all my Gumtree sales.
  7. I've subscribed so will start checking them out soon. I'm impressed by the amount of songs.
  8. Clear scratchplate really helps to show it off. GLWS.

  10. I noticed some impossible animal related lyrics. R.E.M. The Great Beyond. I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs . Come on Michael, really. I don't think you are that strong! Stereophonics. I Wouldn't Believe Your Radio. If I had myself a flying giraffe, You'd have one in a box with a window. Giraffes walk, they can't fly. You'd need a huge box to hold one too. Kelly, you are having a giraffe!
  11. I can assure you the E string will not be a problem after pushing the middle pole pieces. You can always lower that side if required.
  12. Yes, there are other avenues to explore first. I tried all the other options and posted about some of them. The only solution was to follow the pole piece one. I was ready to leave my Ray at home and not gig with it as it was so off putting. I hope you find a solution.
  13. This is a well documented issue here. I had the same problem many years ago. The thread is. funkgod posted his solution on the thread. I have pasted it below to save reading through it. The solution to adjust the PUP poles. It work for me and i have never looked back. Good luck. I have had 3 stingrays all with the same problem, as artisan has said the two middle poles A and D are taller, so you cant tilt the pick up to the G string as it just makes the D louder. NOT only this but if you look at the pick up from above you will see the G string is not in the middle of the pole it misses centre by a quarter so its only a quarter over the pole piece, so its not getting the middle of the field. but reg the pole height there is a cure !! on the E.B. stingrays if you want to chance it.... take the pick up out you can leave it connected THE 4 middle poles WILL push down, the 4 outside ones WONT push up because of the coil tensions at the ends, the middle ones will do it slow then when you put it back you can raise the pick up. JOB DONE And remember you heared it here first folks, (or mabe not) the main problem is the pick up is too large for the string spacing.
  14. Great thread this. We introduced the song into our set some time ago and it's great to play. I have kept it fairly simple whilst trying to retain some of the flavour. I'll take another look at it with download from Dad 3353. When i was learning this i found the best YouTube video cover was this one.
  15. Hi and welcome. I'm sure the forum will help keep you busy with your bass.
  16. I listen to music when riding my motorcycle. I have a Bluetooth headset and have ripped a load of CD's, especially compilations so I have a varied list, all on shuffle. It is a great way to listen to new and familiar tunes. At home it's YouTube more than anything else.
  17. First Aid Kit. Amazing voices and harmonies.
  18. Got 14. Wasn't sure about the double bass player.
