Bassmonkey Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) [quote name='blue' timestamp='1427229123' post='2727694'] Yeah, the Gold Top gets a lot of compliments. I have been gigging a lot with the Gold Top and my Gibson ES-335 lately. I'm surprised that many guys are not aware that Gibson makes a Gold Top bass. I would love to see that Cream LP. Blue [/quote] Here are my LPs Originally bought the Antoria because it was cheap. I then added EMG,new hardware, replated etc - spent more than it's worth but is lovely. Then got the Cherry, then the Black, then the White, then and at last the Triumph which has now cured my GAS (although I am tempted by the Gold top) Hope you like em Andy Edited March 25, 2015 by Bassmonkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howdenspur Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Those LPs look the business Andy - particularly the black! We're playing the Black Horse in York this Saturday (28th) midway through a weekend long cider festival . I shall not be imbibing due to the likely impairment of my musical abilities! Driving too...

Bassnut62 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Not playing now this w/e. Seems promoter hasn't done marketing well enough, so has pulled the gig rather than take a hit. Never mind that we've trained a dep and paid for rehearsals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goblin Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I'm playing at The Fleece in Horbury near Wakefield with The Undecided this weekend. Never been before, looking online it looks alright, recently refurbished. Sports oriented so probably quite a lively crowd too. Also can't gauge the size or shape of the place, so working out what PA I'm taking is a bit of a pain!

[b][u]Off Topic Local Milwaukee WI News;[/u][/b] [i]The possibility of [b]The Rolling Stones [/b]playing in Milwaukee has reached fever pitch with a billboard, which includes the Stones’ symbol — and rumors that not only is the group coming to Milwaukee, but that they would play at the Marcus Amphitheater on the Summerfest grounds June 23rd. Other stops on the North American tour could include Nashville and Indianapolis.[/i] My “Inside” information source says there is a deal for 6.23.15 at the Marcus Amphitheater, the night before Summerfest opens, and they are just finalizing it. Guys, The Marcus is a very small outdoor natural amphitheater. I'm going no matter what the tickets costs.

MoonBassAlpha Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 This Saturday we are playing at the Spinning Wheel in Paignton, Devon. There is a big charabanc trip for a load of freaks, hippies and general music fan types from Oxford, they pretty much take the place over for music Friday and Saturday and acoustic/poetry etc. sunday lunchtime. It's a bit of a hoot, though god knows what the locals think of it. It's a nice venue with a great atmosphere, and a cool balcony overlooking the dancefloor and band. My band is opening the Saturday slot, so I'll be able to have a few beers with no driving after. Result! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paultrader Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 We're playing at the Ex-Servicemen's Club in Bicester. We're finishing at 1.00 am, and I would usually get home at 2.30 am, but because the clocks go forward I won't get in till 3.30 am - hey ho! The last time we played there a lifting bollard decided to rise back up under the singer's car - lifted it right off the ground. He wasn't very pleased, so I'm hoping he'll be in a better mood this time. It's a good venue for playing in because they do a lot of dancing, but not easy to load and unload there. I joined this band (Bluestreak - www.bluestreaklive.co.uk) in January 2013, and since then we've worked hard to build up the set - we can play for nearly two and a half hours now, so it should be a good night. Once I'm there and all set up, I'm happiest on the stage, I get a bit fed up with sitting around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
