LG after my mobile phone died on the way to a gig in Aberystwyth. I was using Google maps on my phone to find the gig (festival, so just a field). Had to stop and buy a map, but had no way of contacting anyone. Luckily I managed to find the field, but will never buy an LG product again!

I've played in a Prince Tribute band as my main gig for the last 16 years (https://www.facebook.com/EndorphinmachinePrinceTributeBand), so naturally have become a big fan. Too many songs to choose a favourite, but from a playing perspective I enjoy Act of God, The Everlasting Now and A Love Bizarre.

Robin Mullarkey playing with Louis Cole now. Very much enjoying it!

I've had this. I've found two things help prevent it: * Making sure I drink enough water before and during the gig. * Proper stage monitoring so I'm not playing harder than necessary in an attempt to hear myself.

Think this is the White Room clip people are talking about. He was a great bass player in my opinion.

+1 for Legally Blonde. The score is really good. Sister Act also has some good bass parts, don't know if it would be considered grade 8 standard though. The Last 5 Years is also fantastic, especially if you're after fretless stuff. I've not played these, but the cast recording of The Bodyguard musical has some great playing on it. Songs for a New World is also brilliant.

Yeah Sam Wilkes is excellent. He plays with Knower too. Check them out if you haven't already.

Stage right for me, but I play with a left handed drummer.

Yep I just got that too. Huawei P Smart

I've tried it on a couple of places on my board, with different daisy chain cables. Thought at one point that had fixed it but the issue resurfaced at the last couple of gigs. Power supply does seem most likely, but it's really weird that I can't replicate other than when I'm gigging. Makes it difficult to investigate!

You can't power this pedal with a 9v battery, only a power supply. I do have some other 9v adaptors knocking around though, might take one to the next gig (I can't replicate the problem at home) and experiment.

I'm having a weird problem with a Matryoshka pedal that I'm looking for some advice on. When I connect to my amp through an active DI box, which is powered by phantom power from the desk, my Matryoshka just produces white noise when engaged. This doesn't happen when I DI from my amp, so it's something to do with the DI box. I'm thinking maybe it's a ground loop issue, but the ground lift on the DI is on. The Matyoshka pedal is powered using a Diago powerstation, with a bunch of other pedals on the board. Anyone got any ideas what's going on?

Zach Rizer is very good, especially if you're into effects.

I came to bass from playing piano. Started when I was 12 and never touched a guitar. I got an acoustic when I was around 18, but only started playing it properly in my late 20s. I can now knock out songs on the acoustic, but would not call myself a guitarist. I wouldn't say it's affected the way I play bass at all.
