Big Tuna
« on: June 10, 2007, 04:45:05 PM »
My new Signature will get her first outing this Saturday at 'Behind the Wall' in Falkirk. I'm expecting Georgie Boy to be there at the very least ;-)
Following that, We'll be at Walkabout in Edinburgh on the 29th then on June 14th at Brennans irish bar in Perth.

We're playing at Walkabout, an Australian themed bar in Edinburgh tonight. I think someone is videoing the show so I'll try to get him to take some stills too.

Sadly the vidoe guy didn't materialise so all we got were a couple of shots on a tiny kodak digital..  

  I've started singing..

  and just to prove people do come to hear us...

  We played from 9:30 till midnight with a 1/4 hour break. the place was packed out for the whole night. I got quite a few nice comments about both my basses.  Graeme

Looks like you had  a ball of a time there.  Long gigs like that are good but tiring. I think the longest I've done is about 3.5 hours non stop.
 
I see your guitarist uses a  jackson/Charvel. I have one I want to sell. I bought it about 6 months ago off ebay because it had Alembic pickups on. I've now put them on my strat.
 
The guitar now just body and neck with all the hardware except pickups. Is your guitarist interested in it, It's not really my kind of guitar to be  honest.
 
Let me know.
All the best with the new Alembic.

jazzy.
I'll ask him but I doubt if he'll be interested as he's saving for an SG. (I tried to get him to save for a further but he's not as keen as me to spend huge sums of money on his hobby).

SG's are damn fine sounding guitars but I find them Butt Ugly to look at. I just hope I'm never put in a situation where I can get one for a song.  lol
 
I may just have to stop being lazy and wire up the Jacxkson and put it on ebay.

That's the navigator preamp footswitch Dave. Controls the Mute, Compression, Enhance and turbo boost. I also have an Aphex 'big bottom' and EBS chorus and distortion pedals.

This Friday 27th we're playing Bar Itza in Kirkcaldy from around 9pm. After this we're taking a month break for holidays. In the unlikely event you're in centrel Scotland tomorrow, stop by and say hello;-)
