My bass loves those keys with open strings in them.

Keep on - don;t watching eurovision in future.

This the one I got. It's so weird looking! I normally play doom and black metal hahaha. It's so out of my comfort zone since it's so colourful. I absolutely love it though. Very comfortable and sounds good.

FTFY, if there's one way to wind up Forest fans it's to call the club Notts Forest, Forest, Nottm Forest or Nottingham Forest all fine. on the subject of Eurovision, haven't watched it for years, it's middle of the road Saturday entertainment, like Strictly, Britain's got Talent etc, I don't watch those either

A while back, it was the roller-rinks. Dance marathons had their day. Circuses roamed the land, setting up, then moving on. Street drama troops busked between towns and cities. These things and more had their day, and Life moved on. There's always been live music, for troubadours and sponsored orchestras. There's no reason why rock'n'roll should get a free pass. The wheel turns.

Bog standard poly caps is where you need to be . Don't buy in to the whole mojo tone cap thing Rob . Snake oil salesmen . Paper in oil capacitors died out about the time of Marconi for good reason .

Glad you’re enjoying it, I’d have felt a bit guilty if not 🤣

Nice video and intersting channel https://youtube.com/@knowyourbassplayer?si=dgAoVXYCza2sKgG1

Well it's getting closer ........... maybe this or perhaps this .........

That’s a solid no

Reviving an old thread, as one of these arrived for me this week. My old octaver broke. I'd heard great things about the tracking in the Okto, so here we are. Octave side does not disappoint. Goes from dubby to OC-2esque, and tracks really low. Probably justifies the price alone. Genuinely as solid and versatile as any octave I've tried, including the 3 Leaf stuff. Fuzz side is synth city. I won't have much need for that live, but it makes for some proper fun. Low gain sounds very much like demos of the 3 Leaf Doom (though I've never played one). Really unique. High gain is chaos. Not a big fan of the sub-octave distortion, but there's more than enough going on with the synth-fuzz and octave. Love it! For 170 quid delivered from Bass Direct, this seems one of the better bargains out there. Surprised there's not a little more hype, as it ticks many boxes for bassists. Someone had said above they wondered whether they would set it as a single octave fuzz, or like 2 separate pedals. I'm thinking of it as a standalone fuzz alongside a standalone octaver, both of which sound great into an envelope filter. Using it live on Saturday, and can't wait!

Just watched the errm. performance by some LGBTQHMVUSSRSOS....creature by the name of Bambi Thug. And to think My Little Horse scored nil points

My first guitar of good quality cost me £125 in ‘75, an Aria, law suit, Les Paul (bolt on neck). Apparently, that equates to about £1130 in today’s prices. I’m amazed that I spent that much back then, it didn’t feel like a massive amount at the time, not cheap, but definitely OK (it was nearly all the money I had earned from a job in the summer holidays). Spending that kind of money these days on anything, gives me pause and maybe I’m not being realistic? Heaven alone knows what the equivalent cost of a Fender or Gibson would be compared to back then. Perhaps it’s merely crossing certain lines in the monetary sand that makes us wince? Also, maybe we’re in a golden age of good instruments for, by comparison to decades ago, little money.

sorry! Ace of spades - Motorhead

Oh my!

I am, but as it's involved with a large production piece, the segment varies in time.

The Eagle has landed. It will come as no surprise to anyone that it is all good.

I'm starting to see more and more reports of poor attendance . What does this say about the future of live music? Daryl

Interesting, over here it's not a pass / fail proposition. If they pull out the breathalyzer and put you through the little physical exercise even if you can do it your still riding back to the station with them. Daryl

We play Hot N Cold by Katie Perry in a 4 piece (so no keys). Last week drummer says he's never been happy with the feel (after 3 years), basically we miss the 16s sequencer. So we spend 10 mins working on it, he's back to 4s on the hh and I'm playing 8s as I always have. So he's happy with that. Thanks all for persevering to change it. This week, I say "remember how we played it last week? " " No?" " You 4s, me 8s" "no I don't remember that, it's been a busy week. Hmm, no I think I prefer it how we used to play it" 🤨
