Loft?!  Somebody got one of these into a loft?!

Easier to stick it in the basement and turn the house upside-down I think!

Copperhead Road - Steve Earle

Mamba Number 5 - Lou Bega

Take them all off, clean the board and between the pickups and fit new ones. I think the only time that you’d do them one at a time would be if you had a floating bridge.

I’ve had a couple of ms60b pedals that were really good, but my first zoom was a 3000B with the expression pedal as an extra. I seem to recall is was ok, but not amazing. Zoom units have DEFINITELY got better in ver the years.

No doubt will attract sneering derision, but who cares... this, bought from one of the guys on here for pennies is a great little pedal & has some excellent sounds..

.. my favourite is one of the factory presets F2

 

I’ve got one of those and use it as a headphone amp - it’s got some great drive sounds on it to, and the expression pedal can be pressed in to service as an awesome pitch shifter for moments of madness!

Indifference - Pearl Jam

Agreed. Anthrax have been my favourite those 4 as they never appeared to take themselves too seriously, and ALWAYS deliver live.

Fückìng SLAAAAYYYYEEEERRR though!

Yes. Absolutely. Do you have a second internal SS drive to store them on? That would be the ideal solution.

It's just a matter of having the right tools, and he who dies with the most tools wins. 😉

Au contraire mon ami - it's "whoever dies with the most pedals ...". PEDALS!!!

How is the depleted uranium cab lining fixed into place?

You’d need some pretty strong adhesive, otherwise there would be fallout.

Thanks, just downloaded that and looking forward to having a play.

Oh Lord, here he is again. His technique reminds me of Doug Johns, but not quite the same.....

 

 

Very 'Primus'. Love it!!

Ice cream man - the Van Halens

Guns of Brixton - The Clash

Tight and funky though - that technique seems to work really well for them!

My  go-to ‘bitsa’ 2 piece ash Jazz body, maple neck with ebanol fingerboard with an extra MM pickup just so I don’t have to lug 2 basses around. Strung with Rotosound Nexus which probably need replacing sometime soon!!

. I also found that using a low G string (Which is tuned an octave below the standard G) produced a more pleasing sound.

I’ve just got a low G for mine, haven’t really played it much since I fitted it, but ukulele club seems a tomorrow night so will report back after that.

I’ve just bought a tenor uke after having a soprano knocking around the house for years - I found chords on the soprano (small plinky thing) difficult but a friend let me use his tenor and it was SO much easier. It’s tuned the same, but the frets are bigger.

Where does 'heft' sit in relation to all of these? Surely that's the most important.

Glad someone said Billy Gould. Great bassist. 

That solo in ‘kindergarten’ though 👍🏻

I believe it sang harmonies

Testicle, 1,2…1,2

Two or maybe 3 transistors would indicate a fuzz face derivative - there's a wealth of information available online for this type of circuit.

These are my preferred strings on my fretless Jazz. 

I’ll go for these bad boys:

Don’t eat the yellow snow

Nanook rubs it

St Alfonzo’s pancake breakfast

(and a cheeky fourth to finish it all off with Father O’Blivion)

from Zappa’s amazing Apostrophe album.

could probably stick a pin on the track list for his ‘You are what you is’ album, pick the next three tracks and not be disappointed!
