My favourite all time fuzz is the Team Awesome Fuzz Machine by Smallsound/Bigsound. Looks like they're v pricey second hand now but I picked one up a few years ago and it's been my fuzz of choice since then. I particularly like how the mids aren't as scooped as a lot of fuzzes (e.g. EHX bass big muff), so it cuts through the mix well while still retaining a load of bottom end.

Yeah she had a Westone Thunder, a Fender of some sort (looks kind of like a Jaguar but not sure), and another thing that I have no idea what it is!

Just watched Nova Twins set. Absolutely ridiculous bass sounds being produced - loved it!

Last night at rehearsal I got an electric shock when my lips touched the mic. I'm checking things over to try and work out what it might be, including checking the earth connection in my bass - a Reverend Rumblefish 5L. Things seem OK but there's a loud buzz when I touch the pole pieces of the front pickup, which makes me think this isn't earthed. This doesn't happen with the back pickup, so it would appear that one is earthed. Does anyone know if this normal for this bass?

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!
