hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted October 26, 2019 Author Posted October 26, 2019 So, gig day for this little venture is now just 4 weeks away and we started rehearsals about two weeks ago. Unknown to me at the time, the keys player shot a cheeky video of our first run through of Hammer To Fall on his phone which was propped up against the side of the PA. The performance was far from perfect, but it gives a good idea of what a thunderous beast the 'Deacy P' bass is. I absolutely love it. 7 Quote

This was brought up the other day and it all revolves around cost. If we can encourage someone to do it for free, then yes. What will probably happen is a static camera will be set up next to the desk at the rear and we’ll use that. In fact, I’ll take my camera, so at least we’ll have something. 1 Quote

I have been in contact with the owner of the pink shirt JD wore on the day who sent me some detailed images of it’s design. I researched getting the shirt recreated, but it wasn’t half as easy as I thought it was going to be, so have had to set that aside. I’m aware that the bass itself is an extravagance given the nature of the gig, but I’m so glad I had it made as it’s an absolute belter plus I finally have a P bass that I actually like. 2 1 Quote

Did the guitarist have that Red Special already or has he also taken advantage of the situation to treat himself to a new guitar? Is there a suspiciously new AC30 somewhere out of shot?

Guest Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 Do Brian May fans have to get an Anita Dobson lookalike to go with the Red Special? Quote

hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted November 24, 2019 Author Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) So, The Last Resort gig happened last night and we had a blast. The Deacon P sounded fab - not just my opinion, the sound guys thought so too 😀. I'm not quite sure how many thousands we raised. I think they're still counting. Hard to choose a favourite from the 6 songs we played, but this one does have a certain grin factor to it. Edited November 24, 2019 by hiram.k.hackenbacker 11 Quote

About six months too late, but a great idea. I’ll tell you what, ignoring for one moment all the time, effort, cost of fuel, rescheduling of other band and family commitments etc etc that I’ve personally put in for this event (which is the thirteenth by the way), I will match any donation you care to make. Let’s set the cap at the price of the Deacon P bass I had built. Let’s call it a round £1000 shall we? 2 2 Quote
