Thunderthumbs Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 My first gig with new band SoulAmigos last Friday. Good God do I love my GB Spitfire (even though my bass pot need replacing!). [attachment=100921:Pete02.jpg] Quote

discreet Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Our horn section, who are reprobates and alcoholics. But they can play, so that's OK. The waistcoats?? ...I know. That particular sartorial experiment was deemed a failure. Thank God. Quote

The nearest my band current band has got to this was one week I wore the same primal scream t as my drummer .. I noticed before getting out of my car and promptly swapped it. I did play in a band with a "uniform" for years though .. I quite liked it as it made picking what to wear at your gig far simpler. Quote
Dave Tipping Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Just scoured the web for some pics of the band trying to find a decent one of myself and found this ... [IMG]http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h352/tony_char/cherrybombz.jpg[/IMG] ... It took a few seconds to realise this wasn't actually me .. a few weeks ago I let one of our "fans / groupies" play for one tune as it was her birthday ... I've found more photos of her than I could of myself! All I could find was this .. [IMG]http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h352/tony_char/dt.jpg[/IMG] ... perhaps I need to get myself a pair of Leather leggings Quote
Dave Tipping Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 I should point out the person in the Santa suit is not in the band .. Just another p*sshead stage invader! Thankfully a well behaved one. Quote
xilddx Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) Oddly, this is not the Chrome Streamer, it's the black Corvette $$ I sold to Jam Got that OMEN sh*t going on too. It's a violin bow, don't get your hopes up Edited February 26, 2012 by silddx Quote

[/quote] I always wear black trousers, shiny shoes and black shirt... low profile, me. But the bloody brass section now wear primary-colour zoot suits, complete with hats, spats, the lot. I'll get some pics up. It looks like a Jim Carrey 'The Mask' fan club. Quote
Rick's Fine '52 Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 This is me, not a good shot at all, It was a couple of years ago in the cellar of V&R on Denmark St, I was checking out John Entwistle's Mint '60 Blonde stack knob, and thought the occasion deserved a photo!! (Yes, I am quite sad eh! ) I was busy trying to explain how the camera worked, when it took the pic. I was too embarrassed to ask him to take another!! [attachment=101014:DSCF02881.jpg] Quote

[/quote] No, sadly, he passed away about 5 years prior to this pic. V&R had several of his basses they were tasked with selling. I'd arranged to view the '60 Jazz. This is now very dull and no doubt disappointing, I may edit this post later with a "Yes, we were great friends" reply instead!! Quote

"I thought you didn't let anybody touch your gear" ... I don't think "yeah, but she had t*ts?" was the correct answer ha ha Quote
