Hi @deadshed Buying from the UK has become fairly nightmarish post-Brexit. The cost of postage in both directions is insane and then there's customs. I occassionally buy and sell in the classifieds section here - if I'm selling, I go across the border and post from Newry to avoid the other stuff but when it comes to buying, I have to include a hefty mark-up postage and customs markup in my budget when it comes to buying from other BC'ers. An Post have a thing called Address Pal that gives you a virtual UK address, so that reduces the cost of postage to the seller, but it's not way of bypassing the other costs to yourself. Adverts and DoneDeal are the best place to buy second-hand and, in my experience, Gear4Music are the best option for new (or B-stock) gear because they're fulfilled from Ireland so the postage is cheap and there's no import. Anyway, welcome (where's NA?)

Valid! My Baritone was longer scale

Another good point, well made. I played my last gig in sloppy gear as We were late on stage and i was forbidden to change… I always thought Dr Feelgood had the ideal ‘non-image’!

It is difficult to control as other people will post stuff that you would rather wasn't out there, but you can make sure that you send out decent clips and try to get people to share and push the better ones up the YouTube algorithm. From a quick look at your FB page, you might want to consider sprucing up your image a little bit if you want the band to move up a level. It's playing blues, so it isn't as image conscious as other genres, so you don't need the leathers and full sleeves of ink or anything. But if you look at the bands that get the gigs on the festivals and blues clubs, some bands have a very definite look and even those who go for the jeans and a shirt approach will make sure that they have a certain image.

@mcnach where did you get the vinyl? I'm thinking about wrapping a telecaster I've got rather than the hassle of stripping it and painting.

I’m the opposite tone with a pick is very much my goal to make it punchy and full sounding / a cross of finger fullness and pick drive tone. I can do both methods and prefer to set my amp to sound the best with a pick. Playing rock in a single guitar band requires the bass to be present full and driving

Must be the environmental then (am spraying in an unheated, uninsulated shed, so save for wind whatever's going on outside is happening inside also). I'm using the same timings as before, as instructed on the can (3 minute shake, 2 coats 5 minutes apart at 6"/15cm distance, 15 mins touch dry, 24 hour cure), so I left it 15 mins between double coats and that was working fine for the past two nights. I know men cannot be relied upon 100% to know what six inches looks like, but I'd like to think I was in the ball park most of the time...

Hi, it's just me and an isolated bass track... It's not a fast song 🤞 sorry I can't reply to everyone!
-
Very good points. I have posted dodgy footage as it’s all I have… need to reconsider!

Depends on the construction of the guitar, scale-length and tuning and the amount of processing applied. The 28" scale Baritone guitar I had that was tuned B-B produced wonderfully rich sounding chords even in the first position. That was with a fairly clean sound. On the other hand the 30" A-A tuned guitar I tried was only useful for individual picked lines.

You chose wisely.

Hi there, Thanks for your messages and 🔊 advice! There is a slower part of the song where I can take a deep breaths. The stage isn't too large so won't feel lost. Just off for my final bass lesson with my bass teacher James Formosa who is a 🌟 and will be there on Sunday. I am opening the day at noon so at least I can enjoy the other bands after my "performance" Will try to get someone to record it so I can do my first BC upload! Nick would be glad you're supporting his little sister, thank you all 🤟

I recently bought a new set of Evah Pirazzi Weichs and the G string was dead. Thomman replaced it (with this string) but I had a series of gigs and I couldn’t wait, so I bought one. This string is new, sealed and literally arrived today. -
Basses put up for sale, didn't sell and became a main bass.

Put this bitsa up for sale a while back but (thankfully) no takers. It's the first one I reach for now: -

Ask @Roadybus as he's going in all directions now...

Small "Hifi" amp head recommendations sought!
crazycloud replied to andyhaines's topic in Amps and Cabs
WTH does that mean? Transparent to me means clean with no particularly definable sonic signature of it's own with the EQ flat. Harley Benton Block 800B. Very clean especially if used as just the (ICEpower 700AS) power section. -
Oh that seems worth it - I did say I wasn't getting any more lights but that will fill in a space

As your paint dilution and viscosity could be discarded, the orange peel effect appears when you're too far from the surface or too many passes (the paint is not dry enough between passes) or when there's a draft, or all of these.
