Sometimes its hard when someone isnt well but at least you still did the gig rather than cancel. We played a very busy venue once where our female singer was so unwell she had to leave stage to vomit in the band toilet next to stage area. She carried on until the end and we sent her home right away. We could have played the gig with just the one singer but she insisted she wanted to play it as its her local rock venue. Fortunately the audience were aware she wasn't well and were very appreciative that the band continued as normal. Its not an easy decision to cancel a gig so for me i think maybe a little praise for your singer that they didn't cancel and take it as a positive rather than a negative. Dave

I’m Still Waiting - Diana Ross

Jason just bought a preamp from me. Superb communications, fast payment and an absolute pleasure to deal with. Thanks Jason

I'm running Atlas compressor, MXR Bass Synth, MXR Bass Chorus Deluxe into Tech21 XB Driver. That's using presets on the synth. I'll have a mess about with it later. All is good atm though.

Hi, I need to change the email address of my account but can't find an option for this in my account settings - can anyone advise how to do this please ? Having been a member for 12 years I really hope I don't have to start from scratch and build up feedback etc. as if I never previously existed ! Thanks.

Long Time Coming - Cheap Trick

He also did the percussion. I worked with him quite a few times, a larger than life character. Would sit in the control room and listen to the track a few times while his roadie setup a table of all his percussion bits. A stereo mic setup. Then he would go out and perform this amazing tapestry of percussion. Great bloke.

A Thousand Years - Sting

Luis Jardim RIP on bass, such an important record to me that blew me away as a kid back in late '85.

I got one from Peach, arrived today. Honestly, just a little bit disappointed. Maybe I didn't get the settings right but it seems like I will have to change my technique a reasonable amount to use this thing. It feels turgid and sluggish. I did switch it to 4-string tracking. Are people plugging straight into it, or are you using compressors and so on first? I've just plugged my P bass straight into it.

I've sold a few redundant bits of kit recently and taken a punt on this. It arrived yesterday, 4hrs later into rehearsal. Sounds great on the presets so far. Guitarists reacted positively...

Not unreasonable, maybe out of touch. Yours makes perfect sense, but that is not the new way, or the common sense of others who may see the Buy two and send one back to be the new normal - but check the returns policy, might be liable for return postage. Epi SG EB0 Case or Bag?

...or disco lights.

Had an update this week, my Sandberg should be with me in Nov 2026.

I’ve developed arthritis in the top joint in my left thumb over the last year or so and similarly a change in my fretting hand technique has really helped.
