All We Ever Wanted Was Everything — Bauhaus

The Detroit Spanners

Let Me Out — The Knack

Not sure why I bought this. I snagged it on ebay at a good price but I have no room on my all-boss bass pedalboard and the eq on my ABM600 does everything I need it to do. I'm sure it could come in handy for quick eq changes or as a clean boost.

Old Man Trump — Woody Guthrie

To be fair it is quite repetitive so once you've heard that, you've heard it all.

The Idiot Bastard Son — Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention

My track's currently coming in at just under nine minutes, so I'll have to edit down a 7" version once I've finished tracking it — or maybe do a fadeout. I've laid down the world's simplest bass line using rick-o-sound on my 4003, and the vocal will utilise my newly aquired Roland VT-4 voice transformer (or E-4 voice tweaker depending on which I prefer)

Giving away your service for free sets the perceived value of that service. I bet they wouldn't ask a plumber to unclog a toilet for free giving the reason that they're short of money.

Don't Arse Me — Ian Dury

Lift — Love & Rockets

Mickey The Mumbling Midget — The Residents

Cut Across Shorty — Eddie Cochran

Bald Head — Professor Longhair

Lovey Duvet — Carla Thomas & Otis Redding

Jeebus!

That's a phrase I didn't expect to read on BassChat

Bacon The Chain Gang — Pretenders

After being greatly impressed by Zpor's vocal effects in Henge, I ascertained from a live video that he was using a Roland VT-4 Voice Transformer and its forerunner, the VT-3 to transform his voice. I found that the latest model in this line appeared to be the E-4 Voice Tweaker so I picked one up secondhand. Unfortunately I found it rather a phaff to use, so I also got a VT-4 which arrived via the bay of E this morning. My initial impression is that the VT-4 is much more accessible with better I/O options & phantom power on a balanced mic input, although the E-4 does have some cool features not included in the VT-4 — it can be used as an audio interface without drivers, it has a built-in rechargable battery, and the looper & scatter feature are interesting and warrant some experimentation. Not sure whether I will keep both, but I'll do some recording with them and see how I get on.

Old Man — Neil Young

Ziggy Stardust — Bauhaus

I was excited when I first heard about this pedal in the dim and distant past, however I've now decided not to bother. On my all-boss gigging pedalboard I have an AW-3 which makes a wide range of funky sounds, and my recently acquired HX effects has a pretty decent sounding model of a mutron III that I have been having fun playing with.

Filthy McNasty — Horace Silver
