Unfortunately I've only been able to use my 4003W at 2 shows and there weren't many pics taken

Thanks Jeff. Made a change to not be playing on an area the size of a postage stamp!

I am quite used to playing postage stamp size stages, well at least that amount of stage area I was usually allotted! At times, even less. :roll:

Thanks Kevin. It's my all-time favourite; Feb '72. It could really do with a re-fret though; the last time I had the frets stoned it took them down to almost nothing. It's a bit of a fretless wonder, which probably suits some, but I actually like the feel of bigger frets. One day, when I can summon up the courage..!

Jeff, this is more our usual venue (with Aug '72 Azure), caught in soundcheck, such as it was:

It's the Old Dungeon Ghyll in Langdale, at the Langdale Charity Folk Festival, which we play each year (although we're not really folk). For anyone who loves good beer and live music in beautiful surroundings, it's a great do:

I hope it's ok to post the link here.

The first pictures were us at Fleetwood Beer Festival. I don't know what it is with us and beer! :lol:

Shaun, you don'y look too happy about that gig!

I have done at least a couple of gigs where I had to, literally, sit on top of my amp or hold my bass as vertically as possible to avoid hitting anything arounds me. Of course, the guitard had plenty of space for his pedals, and "room to breath" in front of his amp. :roll:
