    Thats exactly why I had it. Let me ask around... Some people have spares as they moved to HP, some silly sods staying on the surface pro. Rob

    £40. Posted. Perfect as new condition. With mint box. great entry level brassmaster for those not wanting to pay £350 plus for a Malekko etc. Super knarly yet smooth octave fuzz. What a bargain.

    This amazing emulation of the acoustic control corporation 360 preamplifier with variamp and built in fuzz is up for grabs. Hand made by the renowned JC Maillet and commissioned and imported by myself at great cost. I have used the 360+ for studio recordings, gigs, rehearsals and at home, it has never dissapointed. The preamp sounds fantastic and the fuzz section is the best I have used. I have owned this pedal for a good few years from new, as can be seen it's in pristine condition. Specially sourced UK power supply also included. Will happily run from other sources with the right leads (I used it with a trex chameleon). Fully detailed printed instruction manual also included. Only available as I have more preamplifiers than I can use. Try out/collection always welcome, or UK insured postage for £15.00

    I think we're moved away from the OPs original point about being uncomfortable about playing a specific song rather than an issue of whether or not whole genres should be taboo. Having looked at the lyrics of that song I would say that the casual listener is very unlikely to have a clue about the real events it's referring to so I probably wouldn't be worried on that score. It does however appear to be in a dialect or patois which is likely going to sound very odd if sung in an English accent and probably even more ridiculous if said English person tries to 'do' the correct accent, so I'd probably be out on that score.

    That's a much harder question to answer I'm afraid, and it's much more dependent on other gear and members of the band as well. Are you in control of this mix? If not, who is? Do you have a spare aux mix or two on the mixer? Every mixer? How will the rest of the band hear your bass? To get you started I have a band member who uses and likes the Xvive system (which is a good budget option), I use a Sennheiser G4, something more mid-range in price.

    "Tone is in the fingers" is great until you try adjusting your fingers to get the sound of an overdriven tube amp, a DOD meatbox or a reverse delay.
  13. synthaside
    This is going to be super heavily genre / band dependent .... If i used the tone I need for for example " Placebo" or some other Pop punk in a some blues funk /jazzy number ... the looks i'd get from the audience and my band mates would turn me to stone . There's only so much that can be done with Pick > fingers and onboard Eq , not everyone needs a Fuzz / synth pedal but for some gigs i'd be lost without them

    Good Morning Little Schoolgirl was a favourite of the band Ten Years After, but also done by Muddy Waters, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Yardbirds, Grateful Dead, Rod Stewart, Van Morrison etc. As a young man just older than many schoolgirls it did not seem out of place but at 73? The problem is that most of the songs we do are talking of young men and their longing for young women although age is rarely mentioned in the lyrics. The one I have trouble with is Brown Sugar. It’s a great song but does it have racist overtones or is it just an historically accurate of days gone by? By all accounts it was written in about 15 minutes and the Stones no longer do it. What about the maddest appropriation of all, Swing Low as the anthem of English Rugby?
  17. synthaside
    no worries , it's not super needed i figured it'd just be nice to have a second one to save me unplugging it

    Maybe I'm just lucky; the sound I hear (I can(t know what each audience member hears...) suits me just fine, either when playing bass or drums. I'm just not that 'precious' about it. It sounds good, that's all I need.

    A few more.

    Reduced to £250. Bargain for a gorgeous lovely sounding active jazz.

    Everything from your fingers and strings right through to the speakers and cabs has an influence over how the instrument sounds. My response is to eliminate the as many of them as possible, and to reduce the influence of as many of the others as possible to make it easier to control the sound I and the audience hears.

    So is the room I'm playing in, and the atmospheric pressure of the day, and whether I play towards the bridge or the neck, or my mood, or ... whatever.

    If AI can make me a famous and talented bass player I'll buy one.

    I think The Fearless Flyers use the MBrace Stage Guitar stand. Either one is a great idea for anyone with back or shoulder problems.

    Only going to get worse with AI. Even in it's current imperfect state there are people creating fake images of real events and tragedies purely to farm engagement on social media. If the tech keeps inproving at it's current rate it won't be long before anyone with access to a smartphone can instruct AI to create entirely convincing video imagery of anything they want and claim that it's a real event.

    But your amp/rig is tone shaping.
  29. Steve Browning
    We play that number too. I wonder if Led Zeppelin ever covered it?
