Ha! I had no idea. The whole time, I thought JJ had done a Dave Davies. The true story is funnier indeed.

Definitely playing Schecter; he has the white one and a black one, both with the Hysteria circuits patterning. They sounded great, probably the best bass tone he’s had for a number of years now. Was a great show, their vocals were bang on and the production was immense.

the bit that made me laugh was for quite a while he didn't even know they were ripped.

I have encountered a fretless Squier, presumably unlined as the dots were at the fret positions, which had subsequently been fretted. It was astonishingly hard to play as I couldn't work out where to put my fingers.

Should turn the light out but need to chill for a bit with a JD. Just got back from Llandovery, about 1hr 45 minute drive, mercifully the vocalist has a new van and felt guilty as I've been driving him for months. Our gig got switched to another pub because of a wake. Limited space but we were a man down and managed to fit. Just. Staff were great. 45 minute first set went ok. Locals friendly but not very engaged at first. Second set people warmed up, especially after some Manic Street Preachers. Lots of positive reactions, handshaking etc. and I even got bought a beer (nice bring the one who isn't driving). Yes we had a few minor fumbles, but we haven't played without our rhythm guitarist for a long time and we did some long forgotten and ungigged songs. Had to compromise on tone as electrical noise meant I had to keep both pups on full (Flea Jazz). Affected guitarist too when he used his strat instead of LP. I got told to turn up! We have a rehearsal on Monday to polish up with our full lineup. A big gig on Sunday, our first in the big room at the Earl Haig (my favourite place to play - see previous post) proper stage & lights 🙂

Only if it's not pretending to be real. I use AI from time to time for posters. A pretty obvious one:

Which 200W amps have you used for home practice and found too loud? The volume control is effective on most, if not all, amps, and will reduce the sound level considerably when correctly applied. If you're using a 100-200W speaker, it means you're less likely to accidentally blow it. I use my 200W TC BAM200 head in preference to my 900W Tecamp when I'm using a small cab (house jam micro cab, and, when I've finally completed it, BC 8" cab). Still managed to blow an Eminence Deltalite 2510 mk2 with it (poxy "Made in USA" rubbish, give me reliable Chinese stuff any day).

Did that come through reverb or through an email, make sure that who you are talking to is definitely reverb, not someone else.

Hi Guys, Does anyone know the value of the Bridge pickup pot on the Spector Euro RST , no markings apart from made in Korea on the pot. Cheers Geo

I have a TB Raxx and it gets pretty messy. I used it for recording an album straight from the pre into the desk once, and it did that just-past-the-edge-of-clean thing with aplomb, got a really satisfyingly thick sound. Very underrated preamp, would command a far higher price if it didn't have the Peavey hair metal styling IMO. Mine's a keeper.

No one notices if you kill guitards. No court would convict anyway… just mention that they played Stairway too often and you’ll get acquitted
