Purchased a new board and was surprised at how little time it took me to get everything relatively neat. 

With room for expansion 

Tuner > EQ > octave > Alpha Omega > blend pedal with the 2 meatboy fuzz pedals in the loop > phaser > chorus 

My band just released our 2nd EP. This is my most accomplished recording with 2 bass solos and a fair amount of noodling! 

It's available on all major outlets and streaming services but here's the Spotify link. 

Bass tone comes mostly from my AlphaOmega

Got more info on tickets. They are £15 if I put your name down on the guest list. If not they are £16,50 OTD

Played a local festival last night, 1st time playing it with the new band and they've really up the game. 

Lots of activities as well as 2 stages playing back to back music.

I think the most fun I've had on stage in a long time. Hopefully we'll have some decent pics but here's a few pics from our mates phone (apologies for the half nakedness, it was hot)

Let me know when you know more. Our guitarist’s other half is expecting a new baby in a couple of weeks so we have a big gap in gigs and have been looking for a few interesting things in Brum to go to.

As soon as I know I'll drop you a message on here! 

I think about £16 but we're waiting to see if we can get cheaper tickets so gimme a few days and I'll check 

State of Ember are delighted to announce that we'll be opening for American rock band Saving Abel, for the Birmingham date of their European tour. It's on Saturday 1st September at The Asylum Venue! 

Saving Abel have been on countless big tours, (including with Nickelback, Papa Roach, Avenged Sevenfold); the show will also feature Austrian band Psycho Village and US acoustic rock act My Silent Bravery. It's going to be an amazing night!

Hit us up for tickets! Massive thanks to Surprise You're Dead Music for getting us on this one 🤘

So I finally got myself a blue hippo. Tested it in the shop and loved it. 

Got home and put it on my board and it's unusable. It's just so so loud with no way of turning it down. 

Is this just an issue with all blue hippos or is it faulty? 

Messy cables as I was in the studio and couldn't be arsed to make it all look nice!

So long story short. My band (State of Ember) entered a competition last year as an easy way to gain more fans. The prize was top 10 bands end up on Wreckfest by THQNORDIC. We only went and finished 2nd and now we're being featured on their official trailer! 

Oh and they are giving us 1000 Dollars.

My new band have just released our 3rd single. We filmed and edited the video ourselves.

Played the 1st full gig with the new band on Friday night. Also 1st chance to use my Peavey cab that I bought ages ago and has been sat in my front room since. Soundman was almost an hour late which set the whole night back. Sadly no sound check for any band but everything sounded fine.
Great reception. Sold some freshly printed t-shirts. Some pics are now up on our Facebook page

You are most kind!

Cheers guys!

So after my old band broke up after 5 years the guitarist got back in touch with me and the drummer and wanted to have a go at playing guitar and singing as a new band.

Great thing about him singing is he's not playing as much lead guitar giving me a fair bit of room to be more creative!

6 months later I am proud to release this new track! Please check out the new video on YouTube and check out our Facebook page as well

Played my 1st gig with my new band on Saturday night at a private Xmas gig held at the local practice studio.
Both me and the drummer are full of flu and this was the first time our singer has sung in front of people (the singer is the guitarist from my old band who's now doing both jobs)

Turn out was way more than we expected and the feedback was amazing.
Currently waiting for the music video to be finished up so shall post that ASAP

My pure white fluffy Persian cat loves sitting on my Ashdown head (covered in black carpet). Has no interest in the Behringer Amp which is covered in tolex.
I have to pack a lint roller for gigs

I have one of these on my board and Can say they are a really versatile drive pedal. From a dirty almost valve like growl to a full on in your face fuzz. Really good pedal. GLWTS

It's a great sounding pedal but I just have no need for it atm.

Also willing to accept a decent offer!

A good overdrive (currently using the Pork Loin) and a lovely Chorus

Payday means new pedal day! Picked up the Way Huge Pork Loin and so far I love it.
Here it is next to my old Way Huge Swollen Pickle MKII

For sale is my LoMenzo Hyperdrive. In full working order. Has been sat in on my pedal board for ages and hardly ever used!
Fully boxed.
Would like £45 plus postage of £5

My very first bass. (Tanglewood Warrior IIIFH with entwistles) Doesn't play the best. Doesn't sound the best but is beautiful!
