like the bit at around 2'24" when your man starts looking out of the window thinking "I wonder what's for tea?". Some cool sounds out of those l'il boxes though.

Thanks for posting these Scott, great resources.

true dat, but I've got the 'what if' going on in the back of my mind. Cable is supposed to have a 'skin effect' whereby the high frequencies travel on the outside of the conductor, so having a greater diameter would mean (if any of this is even half true) improved top end sparkle and presence. Sounds fine at the moment though.

I've got more pedals than most of the musicians that I play with regularly. I'm always the first one set up. It's just a question of knowing your gear and, more importantly, knowing [i]why[/i] you've got a particular pedal and exactly what it does. Rehearsal is when everyone comes together to integrate what they've been doing in their own time away from band practice, not to 'tinker'.

"can you write some more songs but this time how about they sound a bit more like..." (insert latest media-whore-marketing-trend here). sigh.

ah knackers, here's another band that I'll have to get into and inevitably buy... Why is BC getting soooo expensive?

it'll work, but it might not sound the best. It's safer to do it this way round than to use a bass lead as a speaker lead.

Damnit, I've been using 2.5 out of my 1000W ampeg power amp into my Hartke cab. Now I have cable GAS! somebody tell me this is just 'bad science' and I don't need to upgrade my cable. Please...

Nothing doing 'round here. it's all guitars, guitars, guitars... "oh, we've got a bass somewhere, you can run it through this [i]stagg[/i] guitar amp".

Thanks for that Andy, just spent 20 minutes browsing some of the exercises with bass in hand - thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Yeah, practice as much as you can privately, but until you play with a band/other musos it's hard to imagine the dynamics and sensitivity required to play (together) in a band situation. It's like a whole other skill.

"Love Cats" by the Cure should do alright with just drums and bass.
