That’s actually nicely done with the white pick up covers - I’m usually not a fan of the white covers, but in this instance it seems less invasive somehow😎👍🏻

First time I’ve ventured into this area of the forum - that’s a proper bargain, sounds great and very nice playing👍🏻😎

I guess it depends on what you’re playing it through, I remember my AH350SMX had a very similar EQ shape which sounded great to my ears, and my band mates ears (one of whom is currently, and for the last 10 years or so, has been Pete Townsend’s guitar/amp tech). YMMV

Sarum’s Lot played Qudos in Salisbury last night, it’s one of our favourite venues to play, easy load in and parking, nicely run pub, well organised and most importantly very busy. Last night didn’t disappoint. We’re a local band and I’d advertised it lots so was really pleased to see the place busy when we arrived and many more friendly faces turning up whilst we set up. We played a few, new to us, classic rock covers and some slightly middle of the road pop rock covers that all seemed to go down well, despite one or two moments, there was plenty of singing and dancing and lots of positive comments at the end. Unusually for us we decided not to take a break as we wanted to get through as many of the songs as possible, so we ended up playing from 20:45 - 23:00. I used my Geddy Jazz, TT800 & Big Twin II, sounded great in the mix (to my ears at least). We’re back there in April and we’re really looking forward to it😁

First song I learned from start to finish was ‘Sunshine of your love’ by Cream. First song I ever gigged was ‘ move it’ by Cliff Richard and The Shadows.

We (Siren) played at Tuckers Grave Inn near Bath for their annual Wassailing Ceremony. Despite the cold the campsite was booked up around a fortnight ago, suggesting it would be a busy night - it didn’t disappoint! We had people dancing to the soundcheck and to every song we played thereafter. I used my Oly White 70’s reissue P Bass for the first set and My Geddy Lee Jazz for the second, used my TT800 through my Barefaced Big Twin 2 G3 - sounded great to my ears! Loads of positive feedback afterwards which is always nice. Next up for me is a gig with Sarum’s Lot at Qudos in Salisbury - one of my favourite venues to play so really looking forward to this one.

That’s good to hear you’re chuffed with it, I know you’d been waiting on one for a long while, but didn’t realise quite how long…time flies n all that😊

Hope you getting on with the TT800, Dave?

Great work - well done Sir!😊 Which pub in Bristol out of interest?

I've still got my VBA400 - I love using it, but only use it sparingly now with my GS412 in larger venues, I do like the tonal variations available and wouldn't class it as a one trick pony - each to their own of course 🙂

I've always worn slim fit/skinny jeans - in my youth I knew things were cooking on stage when I could feel the pressure waves on my jeans😆 - I used two Trace Elliott 4x10's and an AH300SMX. No wonder I have tinnitus now...

Thunderous - probably the noise I’d make when trying to move those cabs… https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/176613990468?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JgZzq6V-SL-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=f-Sex3R3TOu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Siren played The Pig and Whistle in Melksham last night, I’d forgotten just how small the set up is there, I’d been feeling rough all day and had dosed up on the Lemsip Max Strength but still felt awful. Tried singing but that was out the question about 6 songs in, so quite nice just to be able to play without having to worry about singing, a reasonable sized crowd was there, lots of positive feedback from the punters, rebooked for next year and home for about 12:45.

Looks a great venue 🙂

That sucks big time - when I was involved with a band and found out the guitarist was taking the lion's share of the fee I was totally cheesed off, needless to say I had a chat with the drummer and it seems we were being paid X whilst he was paying himself Y, when I challenged him as to why we were told he did all the gig booking and so thought it only reasonable that he took more. Sum of the parts and all that came to mind, but as said neither me nor the drummer hung around long after that. Hope you find something quickly 🙂

Hmm, I've been on the receiving end of similar - needless to say I didn't hang around long after finding out. Is the guitarist the main gig finder/booker?

Uncle Jack, the original and best live jukebox band, * are looking for a replacement bass player following me handing in my notice. They are a great bunch of friendly guys with no egos in the band, they play regularly around 2 gigs per month (sometimes 3) across Wiltshire, Hampshire & Dorset and they cover loads of popular covers across the years. Presented in a jukebox format, whereby the punters choose what the band play, it’s a great gig that remains fresh and is updated regularly. I’ve attached a sample jukebox that I had to hand, there’s been some additions and deletions to the list since then, if you fancy it please PM me and I’ll pass on the contact details😊👍🏻 The website: http://unclejackweb.co.uk/index.html Sample Jukebox Jukebox July '22.docx

Ah okay, too far East for me 👍🏻
