That`s not good at all, bit surprised at G4M acting so shoddily. Re the amp itself, there`s a small headphones on/off switch on the back, have you seen/tried that, I ask as it`s caught me out numerous times.

The festival season is winding down, and this week, I’ll be sharing some of the best moments from Glastonbury 2025. Here’s the first highlight! Lola Young's latest release "One thing"

Got the Ashdown. All I'm getting is a faint crackle from the cabinet. The level meter isn't registering any input signal at all. There is a bit of a pop when you depress any of the switches and the volume knob crackles. Otherwise no output at all. The packaging is atrocious. It was just put in a cardboard box with no transit packaging. Gear4Music will be getting a phone call.

Thank you so much! It's been too long since I visited Mons...I'm currently in Antwerp

I don't think Jaco would have been philosophically against more than 4 strings, he had a 5-string acoustic bass he played in his off-time. But the Fenders were available and familiar instruments. If he'd managed to get on top of his issues and had been around for longer, who knows what he might have explored.

I was waiting for that comment with baited breath

For me it's the general concept of music

Good enough for my old mate Jaco!

Ok so I got my first date for playing on the worship team! We support another smaller local church with a worship band once a month to let their small team take a break and I’ve been rotad on to serve there end of next month. Absolutely bricking it to be honest!!! I think I’ll get the songs a week or two in advance so it’s gonna be some intense practice before the day in question!

A friend of mine is a manager or something for the sound installation for that! I’m not there though.

Nice to see a B3 in operation! For size reasons I'm trialling a GP-5 but I do miss the option with my B3 of setting up 3 effects in a patch (compressor, chorus, octave) and switching between them or in combo very easily. Great pics! I need to raise my game! 🤪

Wow, I just had a look through some of your previous posts @ChrisDev and your website of transcriptions and learning material. Astonishingly good! You have provided a wonderful free resource with such dedication over the years - its stunning. I made a small donation today. And boy do you deserve donations and patrons. I'll be coming back and having a look at some of the songs for help and inspiration or just for fun. Whereabouts do you live in Belgium? I worked in Mons 2014-17 and played in a rock band for fun there.

All true,to me at least 👍

My last service included a send off for a pilgrim travelling to Rome, and the hymns were: Oh-Oh the deep, deep love of Jesus All for Jesus Brother, sister let me serve you Blessed now , O God the journey Brother, Sister stook in my head as an ear-worm for days afterwards! But that may be the last time I'll be playing bass in church as I've begun the process to convert to Catholicism. But I also play keys and I have an interest in early music, so I'm sure I'll still be involved in church music, just differently!

The second gig of the weekend yesterday for Top Deck. At the Great Northern pub, Langley Mill in Derbyshire. A nice old pub overlooking what was an important meeting place of three canals back in the day. The so-called Great Northern Basin. We played outside on a raised wooden stage area. Thankfully with some shade. A jolly Bank Holiday crowd, that included several children. So, we avoided using some of our jokes.
