    A definite improvement over the rehearsal recording, Tony. :)

    Thanks guys.

    Still getting grief from my good lady (who was there) .... "you never told me you were singing" ... it was a bit of a surprise for her.

    Disappointing number of guitar-related mistakes though - nerves, I think!

    The more prominent mistakes are definitely not guitar related. :)
    The drumming has improved but your bass player does need to un-rust (or concentrate on what he's supposed to be playing). ;)

    Let's just say that I'm not going to share any of the tracks on which he's doing vocals ;)

    They sound great to me! I'm trying to get a pass for the cambridge blueberry jam tonight - will you be there?

    Great work Tony. 

    You were sounding pretty good I thought. 

    Nice sound as well, what amp are you using, still my Tech21?

    "Your" Tech 21??

    :D

    Yup - that's the amp.  It's the HFS pickup on 10, (in the Bailey custom build) that really generates that though.  If I turn it down a notch or two, the sound cleans up considerably.  So I just keep it on 10.

    If you do need a dep bass player in a pinch give me a call. 
    You'd be most welcome to pop over sometime for a quick knock-about - give us the benefits of your somewhat greater experience and expertise.  

    I think we'll need to find a new bassist, but the good ones seem to want to play/gig regularly and we don't usually have the time for that ...

    Oops meant "My old" :D

    I'd be up for a play. Regular rehearsals aren't good for me either, but I'm happy to learn a load of songs, do a couple of rehearsals and then blitz through a set as required, if that's any help to you.
