Blitzkrieg Bop - Ramones

That's really nice. Definitely worthy of a road trip for collection.

Don’t modify it, it is perfect as it is!

Der Mussolini - DAF

Objectively he can play, this is a place for irrational dislikes. There's no logic to it. (I also hate Queen and can't listen to it and feel embarrassed playing it. But John Deacon is as cool as.) He's sold millions of records and inspired thousands of people to play. I'm sure he's a good egg, too.

Yep same here. Bass sounds great and on stage sound is excellent. PA fires up and all of a sudden its either hard to hear the bass or its booming out front. IMO the SE should listen to the on-stage sound and simply recreate that out front. I've had one venue where the sound guy does wander about the stage with his tablet during soundcheck and makes adjustments and then goes back to the desk. When we're playing he'll come to the sides of the stage with his tablet. He's also in a band so probably understands it better. Dave

I remember seeing them at their 2nd ever UK gig - the Mean Fiddler in Harlesden. After 2 songs Hillel couldn't cope anymore wot with being off his face (he died not long after...) and left the stage. So the other 3 continued as they had no real choice. And Flea managed to fill the gap beautifully - did his own lines and threw in some of the guitar stuff too which most certainly isn't a sign that he "can barely play"! So unless he's somehow forgotten how to do the bass thing in the intervening 37-8 years, I suspect that he can still do it. And bear in mind, Stanley Clarke invited him onto the ultimate bassathon, Night School, so it would seem that the hatred is largely irrational - the low point of his career being that terrible StarSpangledGizmo he did at the Pooper Bowl...

Just PM me of contact me by email: [email protected] I'm setting up my workplace at home this year and will finish luthiers school by June 2026. Until then I unfortunately don't have time to take orders... So by the end of 2026 I've planned to start building, One day a week besides my daytime job.

Sounds stellar! 😎

I must admit that is an appealing solution Typical that it's the drummer who already has the kit to contend with which takes almost as much effort as the PA, rather than the singer who has only that oh so heavy mic and stand to contend with😂 I can't bear to leave things alone though, if I see that something would make the band look our sound better I'll just do it rather than have all the arguments about who pays and what we should get. Partly it's because I like playing with all the kit and am lucky enough to be able to afford it. My duo partner is very good and takes his fair share of the work. He sets up all the lighting and carries in slightly more than half the kit and has bought the monitors we use. With the band I wouldn't trust them with anything electrical and certainly not with winding any cables, though we did have one guitarist who knew what he was doing, brought a mixer and lights of his own and knew how to coil a cable. I think he joined the band because all my cables have cable ties

In case anyone has one of these pedals here's Ian Martin Allison's settings on his Taylor Shift, Tim Lefebvre settings on his Taylor Shift II and Jonathan Maron's settings on his Docta Philter (Octave/Envelope Filter)
