Whippets and thistles are fine. It was the black pudding that stopped him going north!

Seriously, it’s a great shame that he couldn’t have got around to other parts of the UK & ROI, but we only had a limited number of dates.

Hopefully there will be more of these events in the future with Stu and many other great Hartke bass players.

I've been trying to play ALways With me Always With you for ages.

I can't get the tapping right.

I'll be there tonight in Exeter. Really looking forward to this one.

[voxpop]

I went to the Bristol one last night.......I wasn't inpressed.

The sound was crap, as it was held in a very large shop that had rattles coming from every corner and sorry to say I wasn't inpressed with Mr Hamm either (IMHO).

Sorry.

[Badass]

Sorry to hear that Marc. Let's hope it was one of his off days

Hope he is better tonight in Exeter.

[Badass]

Yeah me too...Was it FREE or was there a charge in Bristol?

It was free.
Only cost was my petrol and a 90 min. drive from Reading.

They were giving away a Hartke combo in a little competition at the end.............I didn't win.

Good luck for tonight........the answer is very simple.....250 watts.

[Badass]

LOL 250watts got it........But I just got rid of one

[Rich]

Ah well... you pays yer money (or not in this case) I guess. FWIW, I enjoyed it.
And I know who won the amp too... spawny bastid.

EDIT. And I now have slight GAS for an Urge.

[Badass]

Really surprised it's free. Called up Adrian for tickets and was told it was free as a thank you from Mansons to all their customers.

Still looking forward to it, bad sound or not, just not the shopping trip for 'her', before hand

Happy days..

I remember when I learned the tapped version of that song after seeing Stu doing it...my, that was a few years ago now! Hell of a tune, especially when you're tapping the bassline!

It is indeed. I saw his show a few years back and it was a cracking good evening with a really nice approachable guy who was happy to chat & sign stuff afterwards.

Worth going if you can get there - sadly I can't

Ive had my Urge II for a coupla years now...quite simply they are the best basses in the world IMO! If you can get your hands on one you'll never take them off of it!

I'm gutted I havent been able to get to any of these. I'm dying to see Stu play...damn work!

I did

Sound [i]was[/i] crap though. I had to resort to ear plugs to make it bearable.

I wasn't stunned by his playing but I was very much entertained by his tales.

Cheeky!

Yeah I felt the urge for an Urge once he'd gone through what it could do.
And it's a P bass, of course

Last time he came to Manchester....Sound Control Oxford Road was still open and he was endorsing Peavey!.....ooops!

Hi Guys,

Went to the Bristol event and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was the first time I have been to a clinic and was surprised at how approachable Stu was, really nice guy who can also play bass!
However whilst I know what VOXPOP meant about the sound it was in a shop with suspended ceilings so the fittings were always going to rattle like mad so it shouldn't really have come as a surprise. Would love to go to a 'proper' venue but I guess there would need to be more people to make it viable.

But it was free and I got to meet a great player so what's to complain about. :brow:

Indeed. Saw him on the same set of shows in Portsmouth with Paul(?) who used to be at Trace Elliot demoing guitars in the first half prior (as I recall) to the Peavey/TE linkage. That was in a hotel conference suite rather than at Nevada so the sound was OK.
