I'm an ex-pro musician - wasn't very good but lucked my way in to being in a band that signed a deal hehe

Here's a link to a guitar forum with a bunch of the stuff on there - feel free to kick the knackers out of it.

Possibly Suede - we were on the same label and did some stuff with them.

Perhaps musician is a bit strong the band is Kofi's Shadow - kofisshadow.com - let us know your thoughts!!

We're just 4 mates from Sheffield/Rotherham that play in the area. I'm trying to find some pics of the kit with limited success... ranting

Naked Apes!

Just a pub covers band, but a very good laugh and it's keeping the Astra on the road smile Anyone in the Romford/Hornchurch/Felixstowe areas should try to get down wink

Don't have a picture of the rig of doom frown Must get some...


Crazy Nation
That's an old band I was in "from way back as a youngster, I was".
The music was getting pretty good by the end of it, had a couple of gigs at Camden Barfly smile

I am a bassist and play in a covers band. Not a pro but I would like to be and am working toward it.

No kit pictures here on my phone, but I'm a sax player. I blow a vintage 1940 Martin baritone with my band DC Fontana.

We're a hardworking band, gigging at least once, if not two/three times a weekend. We've spent far too much on recording an album - 14 original tracks, with many tracks adding to the core lineup (of vocals, rhythm section, Hammond and horns) with various Indian instruments, full orchestral string and persuccion sections, etc etc.

We've even set our own label up to release the album - due on the 6th of August.

What's the 5 string in the middle? At first it looked the same as my Yamaha TRB5PII but the horns are pointier and it has that fingerboard extension.

Looks like a BTB 5 string:

I've just got a band together after a few years out of it, we'll do covers for the fun of it and have got these together in a few weeks:

Revelations
Perfect Strangers
Pinball Wizard
Out in the fields
The final countdown
Out of the shadows
Born to be wild
Won't get fooled again
Nothing else matters
Tears of the dragon
Blaze of glory

Great fun! biggrin

Correct. Great bass, I love the natural finish as well. If I didn't get the Ibanez it would have been the TRB5, they look (and I bet sound) awesome.
