A bit of high power silliness, the Jaco Pastorius bass part for the Buster Brown tune 'Fannie Mae' from the 1982 Big Band album 'Twins'. Just great fun. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/pac-man-blues-fannie-mae-jaco-pastorius-big-band/

I’ve got one more verse to record , got the the lyrics now so just got to wait till I know everyone in the street is out. 😁

I considered the same, but the depth issue is actually very minor… it’s still effectively one rail of a pedaltrain- this just overhangs the space between rails more. Compared to have much space 12 loops worth of QM’s would be… it’s tiny. And I love the QM! This is just super good for the size.

Definitely not in the spirit of BC, a place where we hope that everyone is honest and not out to scam anybody. I just sold my Aria IGB68, I’m happy to say.

I want one of those! How much did you pay for it, if i may ask? I am in France and they havent hit stores here yet..

That’s an epic pic

I did consider one of these instead of a Gigrig quartermaster, but they takeup more space depth-wise. Interested to see the new layout👀

Well, yes, he likes them. He also did videos on the top tracks done with a wal, and the last video of him was songs recorded on the rickenbacker

Feline Good - Nina Simone

Go West - Go West. I’d forgotten what a great album this is, with some top bass from Richard Drummie and Pino and fantastic guitar playing (both chops and tone) from the late, great Alan Murphy.

What’s New Pussycat - Tom Jones

Another vote for the EBS multichorus. When I first went looking for a chorus pedal, I lined a bunch up, side by side and the EBS was the best sounding for my purposes. Another advantage of it is that it also has pitch modulation and flanger settings, plus an internal wet/dry trim pot. I haven’t felt the need to replace it since I bought it, which must be at least 15 years ago.

Thanks Daryl. I’ve put a set of DiMarzio Split P (DP127) in it and a 6 position Varitone switch. It has lots of grunt and bottom end now.

Not with the full rig for me, as I think the 2 upwards speakers are too high up and are blowing past me. I think these work better when the Flightcase is on the floor. However, they do help the overall FOH sound if the ceiling isn’t too high.

He played a Spector on Madonna’s Like A Prayer so… I mean… in terms of big hits!

Love to hear updates once you try the regular tension..... It "might" sway me from my GHS Precision flats, but that will be a big ask 😉

I’ve seen Guy Pratt with his Spector. And his pink Fender.

But he said that the Rickenbacker is the best bass.

I nearly went for that myself, but it was a bit much on top of the funk accelerator in one month. Would be very interested in your thoughts on the fretboard accelerator course. That would be next on my list.

Ahh right ok thanks for clarifying. I guessed it would be along those lines!

A couple of weeks ago 2 of my rack samplers made some fatal sounding noises (an Akai S900 and a S2800). While I love the simplicity and sound of the old Akai gear, I think the time has come to embrace something a bit more up-to-date I've spoken negatively of my experiences of modern Akai gear.. but this time I'm fully committing to the journey to bring my gear up to date & putting in the time to get really familiar with it I've plumped for the Akai MPC Live 2 along with the Akai MPK Mini mk3 for a fully portable solution that will fit in a backpack. Not sure I'm ready to sell my vintage MPC's just yet.. but looking forward to this journey with the new one

Thanks Shoegaze is a heavy rock subgenre kind of related to grunge but more distortion, more volume and slower. Like early Smashing Pumpkins, The Verve, Lush and Slow Dive.
