Stub Mandrel Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Saturday we played the Two Brewers in Chepstow, they mostly bobok blues/rock bands so we go down well there. It was hot so we were outside from 8 to 10 with a strict curfew. Drank about four pints of lemonade with a dash of lime... Crowd was a bit less than usual as there was a 'Rock the Castle' event with multiple bands on the same night, but went well. Broke in the new Squier P. Taking my Performer to a jam tonight, 24 fret fun up the dusty end is anticipated, plus I promised someone I'd do Bad penny with him so was cribbing Gerry MacAvoy's ideas last night 🙂 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's me initially thinking it was an address thing. It was just a for a second or two then it hit me. I'm not that slow...............honest. 😂 Have a good weekend Blue. Dave Thanks Dave, I hope you had a good weekend. Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In house cab was a very rare and very dark sounding Carlsboro 410, glad I took my own head, the Carlsboro head looked . . pants. Sounded great on stage! Can't complain. I'm still trying to rehydrate. Sound was awesome, crowd was packed out. Sandwiched between Exodus and Testament, so not a bad slot. I'm tired . . . Esteemed company indeed 😎 What's your bands name?

moley6knipe Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 That blows my mind. I don’t think I’ve ever done a gig where I’ve not been on the right with my mate Timbo on my left. It would freak me out!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some have been ok and some could never find a groove. Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmccombe7 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 i used to always prefer on thedrummers RHS. It allowed me to easily glance at my neck while still looking at bandmates on stage whereas i am now on the LHS of the drummer and cant glance at the neck and left hand positioning without it being obvious. I guess that's a good thing 😂 Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( @FinnDave one of the bands last night played Dark Star, bit of a cheat when you get 'three songs or 15 minutes 🤣 ) Rig... effin' awesome. Ridiculously loud, great for blues rock, best compliment I had was a sound engineer telling me I sounded like Jack Bruce (was using the Epiphone with twin 'probuckers') 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
