This guy is class! Had the Verbzilla delivered with impossible speed......on a very rare train set.......from Scotland to Exeter......driven by a team of trained shrews. Constant email contact too.

I was there Sunday night......good grief what a show! Clarke's instrumental piece was absolutely spell binding! Anyone else there on Sunday was also treated to an incredible rendition of Amazing Grace on the Harmonica. Best bit: Wooten crept in and sat in a vacant seat by the aisle during Chick Corea's set, one song later a woman walked in and quite rudely stepped over Wooten to get to the next seat which was hers, sat down and....... promptly fell asleep.....for the ENTIRE 2nd set! Haha, unreal! There is ignorance, and there is ignorance but THAT I stuggle to understand. Sleeping whilst sitting next to THE MAN to watch THE GUYS play a blinding set at a great venue. Maybe she was just overcome by the excitement. Crazy!

Love it! Cheers pal

Cheers for the responses y'all. Will keep an eye out for the Verbzilla. Anyone have a view on the Dynaverb?

Agreed mate. It's purely for self-indulgent bedroom noodling. No euphasim implied.

Cheers lads, To be honest, I'm not really up on my reverb knowledge, so I guess I'm looking for something quite flexible, that can go to tasteful and discreet to absolutely drowning in the stuff. Budget is very much an issue, but if there is a general consensus naming one particular pedal above all others then I will rid myself of other material goods and save accordingly. I'll take a look at the verbzilla. Ta y'all

Wotchya all, I am in the market for a decent reverb pedal. I'm not looking for a multi effects box, just a 1 funtion pedal - preferably small and 9V. Conditions: 1. Price will presumably be an issue, however if there is a Holy Grail reverb out there (pardon the EHX pun) then I will save up. 2. It's for use with a regular bass and a piccolo bass, active and passive (will that make a difference?) Thoughts, comments and experiences welcomed - I'm a complete nooooobie when it comes to reverb! Cheers y'all B

Thats an interesting shout! Cheers mate FYI - i asked this Q at Mansons guitar shop in Exeter and I was told they will make them up for me. So if anyone is interested ask for Ralph

Hi All, Anyone know if flatwound piccolo strings exist?! I'm dabbling with the idea of putting piccolo strings on my fretless. I would be looking to use flatwound piccolo strings purely to prevent any damage to the neck. Would damage be likely using roundwound piccolo strings? If not, can anybody recommend a set? I hear good things about D'Addario and GHS. Any thoughts would be appreciated! Oh, also, where can I find a set in the UK? I can't find any on stringbusters.com Cheers y'all

Who likes to rock the party?!

Hmmm..... I'm having a lot of problems with my LEFT shoulder, which is twisted forwards and inwards. I'm a right handed player, so this seems to go against what people have mentioned so far. I do, however, have a wasted LEFT deltoid (due to a sublocated collar bone) and a series of numb spots around my upper left arm/shoulder and neck (ARABASSIST do you have these too?). Also, I seem to be suffering quite badly (i.e. daily) from a sore/cramped left forearm/wrist. I am a physiologist, what I think the title calls for is a physiotherapist. However, as I understand it, everything (eventually) attaches to the spine, so I would recommend a consultation with a chiropractor for any niggles which refuse to go away. I recently chatted with Stu Hamm about such problems and he recommended the same. Unfortunately, there is usually so many things wrong with everybody, so a consultation might be quite a depressing experience (I for one was called Quosimodo and told that my neck was twisted, because my shoulder was twisted, because my spine was bent, because my hips were twisted, because I walk strangely - and changing all these things seems like an impossible task!!) From what I have heard, a series of warm up exercises AND COOL DOWN exercises for you're shoulders ALEXCLABER would go along way I'm sure proper hand positioning/technique and strap lengths also apply. Anyone have a stretching routine which they have found to have helped?

I am by no means any good, but I found playing along to Aeroplane by RHCPs helped me out. Probably because its simple (?!) octave patterns and a damn fine tune that was fun to keep on playing!
