Smear Body – Nitzer Ebb

Less expensive squier instruments, such as the mini precision bass and older affinity series, have a very plain looking black silk-screened logo. I have discovered that this logo is very easy to remove using a little acetone (aka nail polish remover) on a piece of kitchen towel. My Mini-P took about five minutes to debadge and is now ready for a custom decal which I will attempt to make later today.

I had a couple of JVs. One was a really early big Fendo logo one, the other a bit later. The second one was everything I wanted from a Precision and lightweight, too - the best I have ever owned. Sold when I found long scales too much of a stretch.

I played my two gigs this weekend with a Jazzn because it's my easy-playing comfort zone instrument. On friday I used my pedal board for colour, but we were short of space last night so went direct - choose one: mike, effects, jumping around. It was sounding good, switching between both pups on full and neck with about 20% bridge. When we did Uprising I boosted bass on my head as no octaver and it was ok. We encored with Saturday Night's Alright and I played right over the neck pickup really hitting down on the strings Entwistle style. Pushed the Orange Terror well into overdrive and it felt awesome hearing the roar.

Wherever I Lay My Scat - Paul Young

I can remember when I first noticed my tinnitus and it was directly attributable to the cymbal that I stood close to.

Perchlorazine (or something like that) it damps down your sense of balance... prescription strength seasickness pills!

changing the singer or guitarist can have the same affect without medication 😆

I tend to agree: Passive controls do cut only, so the max position is neutral for vol and tone controls. Active tones tend to do boost and cut, so the neutral position is often half-way and has a detent to locate it. Active vols may boost or not, but if you can switch in/out the active circuit then you should be able to find the neutral position. Also, amps often have separate active & passive inputs.

First combined outing for my new Bareface 3*10 (no Tweeter) and my Mesa TT800 (with a D800+ as back up). Played two thirds of the gig with my Musicman, with both tones backed off to take away the scoop). When I plugged my Jazz in at gig levels of sound I was blown away by the growl from the combination of the Boogie setting turned up and the neck pick up of the jazz just backed off. It was nothing short of a stunning difference. Nothing in the signal chain, but the cable. Of and I wore my Guy West pointy rock star boots:
