We Gotta Get Out of This Place - The Animals

Lettuce Stick Together - Roxy Music

Hit The Road Jack - Ray Charles

I use an old Line6 LD15 (think that's what it is) in my home office. Has an Aux In socket for whatever source you prefer, a headphone socket and the usual plethora of Line6 options for sounds and effects. Been a bit of a Godsend for me when I'm learning a load of stuff off Youtube or whatever and not wishing to drive Mrs J nuts.

Stingray with 2 band eq and a John East preamp is a pretty damned aggressive sounding bass. I've played a Thumb which I found heavy and uncomfortable but sounded good. Never had the pleasure of a Wal though.

I do like a volume control and a clean blend option on certain types of pedal.

I like the Valeton stuff. Particular favorites of mine are the OC10 octaver which is a great copy of the Boss OC2 and top of my list is the FET Preamp pedal which just makes everything sound plump and lush. Hard to find now though.

Call Me The Breeze - Lynryd Skynyrd

I've got one. It's not very gig friendly since it's fiddly to change stuff around, but in my experience, absolutely fine to use as either an 'always on' preamp sort of thing, or a single stomp box for a particular effect or set thereof. It has some great patches and some not so great. I use mine as a tuner/mute and a preamp patch which is pretty much always on.

Plank You - Led Zeppelin (these are getting pretty bad now!)

I Putt a Spell on You - Nina Simone

Up On the Roof - James Taylor

I'm lucky like that too, although it has to be said that my Mrs hobby, horses, is a whole lot more expensive than anythig I've ever come up with. We recently had a vets bill which would have covered the cost of my Musicman Stingray and Eden WT800 and 2x12 cab with a whole lot to spare. In effect I'm permanently in credit although also permanently skint too.

The Drugs Dont Work - The Verve

SMX is a cracking amp in my opinion and the dual band compressor is the icing on the cake. Should have kept mine but the dreaded GAS got the better of me years ago.

I always run my fingers down them to get the twists out then put the ends together. Then go end to end again and repeat until there's 2 to 3 ft length. Then tie in a loose knot. Has worked fine for me for decades.

Have been looking for a Digitech Drop for a while with no success. Singer can't reach some of the high notes in the stuff we do and some of it doesn't work well without the low notes. So, have just 'snapped up' a Behringer US600 which is allegedly capable of handling pitch shifting so I can tune down from E to Eb or D. We shall see. Up til now I've used a pitch shift patch on a Zoom B3 but it sounds a bit 'chorusy'. I'm supposed to be getting rid of stuff by the way, not acquiring more of it.

Crazy - Patsy Kline

Darkness on the Edge of Town - Bruce Springsteen

If you're music is rubbish, make it offensive and at least angry people might buy it. It's a market, albeit a fairly small and sad one.

Hurry Home - Ella Fitzgerald

Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word - Reg
