I've had a 4/4 5 string and 3 people in a Nissan Micra back in the day (not very safely 😬 )

The thing about a live clip with a band, which is partly why @knicknack / Paddy's clip is a really excellent demo of this pedal's potential, is that you get to hear it in the context of the rest of the instruments and vox, which is what many of us are hoping to use it for, but also (and here's the rub!): you get one take to nail it. I loved Nate Navarro's honesty when he reviewed the Boss GM-800 saying that he'd had to do multiple takes to get some decent recordings (and he made it sound seriously lush btw). If anyone tells me that was because he's got poor synth bass playing technique...

Wild thing - The Troggs ( & Hendrix)

Wasn’t around on Basschat in 2011 so here goes… First Bass Owned: Aria SB700 (still have it) 'Go To' Bass: Currently my new Sandberg VM4 'Your' Bass: My 1985 Mk1 Wal Custom (my main bass since ~1992ish)

I guess it depends on your studio costs and what your budget is. If you're good with technology you can do the publishing yourself for free.

Sorry... "could care less" so 24% of respondents care about this issue? Horrible American mangling of the phrase "couldn't care less".

Wasn't the stage lent to Live Aid by Springsteen?

How was the gig?

That's awesome, I'm glad you liked it and it helped. Also, don't let anyone tell you that you get less mwah with flats, that recording was done using Rotosound Jazz flats

There were tarps at Springsteen, but that’s still an awful lot of traffic. That said, grass is very resilient and it was no doubt in tip top condition for whatever the next big footie game was.

Reap The Wild Wind - Ultravox

No. Only one track so far a couple of years ago but the band has just got back together after a couple of years of "life" and we want to get back in the studio again to record some of our originals. Not really bothered about making money to be fair but it would be nice to at least cover costs.. I think CDBaby and Distrokid are pretty much the same animal and it's always an option but I'd rather do something more independently for the time being.

The wind cries Mary - Jimi Hendrix

I really rate CDBaby to easily & cheaply get music out onto multiple streaming sites, the website's great. I use this for promotion, not for an income stream - I'm not a commercial artist. Not tried Distrokid but I imagine these services are all pretty similar, and the more you pay the less you have to do yourself. Do you put a lot of music out?

Terry Williams said he was very pleased when he rewatched it.

It’s a lovely gig Dave. We don’t do it much in summer as it’s too busy, but once the season is over we generally do one or two gigs a month there. The views both behind us and in front are fantastic, as the venue is on a pier sticking out in the harbour. Only thing to sometimes spoil it is when you come out to find your car covered in seagull sh*t!

I’m exactly the same. Even though I know IEM’s are undoubtedly a good route to take, I know they’re just not for me I’m afraid. Fortunately doing what I do now, it’s not a problem - with the acoustic duo I mostly use a Rumble 100 combo, and anything else with electric just the 500 version. Loud gigs are definitely now a thing of the past for me, which I’m very happy about as I still have a reasonable quality of hearing left!
