    A little different to my usual stuff. These use very little in the way of effects, with just a touch of reverb and some delay from my Mod Devices Dwarf. I've been experimenting with different tunings. These pieces are either B, C#, B, C#, D#, C# or Bb, F, Bb , F, A, C These are just a few excerpts. All were played/recorded in real-time.

    Transcribe is good, use it along with a chord chart for the song, that’ll give you somewhere to start from. It’s good to get used to how intervals sound, that again will help when you’re working out a part.

    In excellent condition. Very accurate and easy to use. Price includes 1st class postage.

    Like new with box, power cable and assorted patch power cables. The DC5 link is a professional, small and very flat power supply for effect pedals with 5 isolated outlets. Being only 31mm high it fits under the flat Pedaltrain nano, mini, new nano+ and all metro boards. It offers voltages 9, 12 or 18V and has a total output current of 900mA. The top two switchable 9 or 12V outlets can power any two Strymon, Eventide or other two medium to high current pedals. The middle outlet in 18V setting can power one or two dirt pedals, Pigtronix, MXR or other 18V pedals. The bottom two outlets configurable to either 9 or 12V can power two or even more standard low current pedals when used with Split Flex or 3-way daisy chain Flex. In 12V setting using Stack Flex, they’ll power a 24V pedal. If needed, all 5 isolated outlets will give you 9V DC in the default position of the settings switch. The price includes next day special delivery.

    This was bought earlier this year, and is like new. There is quite a lengthy review of mine elsewhere on this site. It’s an incredible pedal. It works as a headphone amp for practice. It’s also a DI box. There’s a very large library of IRs available for various amps and cabs via the Darkglass app. You can store up to five of these on the pedal itself, and switch between them using the touch sensitive selector. Whichever IR you’ve selected is then used whether you’re practicing with headphones or using the pedal as a DI. I’m selling simply because I use my Mod Dwarf for everything. I’ve had the Dwarf now for about 9 months, the deeper I delve into its functions, the more I realise that I no longer need other items in my signal chain. The Element comes with all its original packaging, and a usb cable for connecting to a computer. Its genuinely only had a couple of hours of usage. The price includes next day special delivery.

    I’d add to this, that he also put a smile on a great many faces last night.

    I don’t drink alcohol. If I did I’d never drink on a gig or at a rehearsal. I can’t think of any job where drinking alcohol while working would be allowed.

    I quite like their cakes.

    It’s effecting bigger bands and artists too. I’ve seen Fish, Steven Wilson and Marillion complaining about it recently. There’s obviously all the visa/work permit, carnet and trucking expenses. You also have to pay VAT upfront on all your merchandise at every border you pass through. You claim it back later, but that’s potentially a massive initial outlay, especially if you’re doing 7 or 8 countries on your tour. You’ve also of course got to pay someone to organise that, keeping records etc. Still, if it means we can have more powerful vacuum cleaners then I guess it’s worth it.

    No, it effects people in the EU travelling here too.

    A friend of mine has some gigs in Germany. He’s had to pay £300 for a carnet for his pedalboard. VAT upfront for merch at every border, carnets for some gear. Trucking hit by cabotage rules. It’s bound to effect touring, in both directions. I’m fortunate that I’ve qualified for an Irish passport courtesy of my gran being born in Cork. I will still be effected if I travel to gig, because I’m UK resident.

    I bought a Dwarf last September. It’s an incredible device.

    You're expecting to fail at it, so you do. It’s a self-full filing prophecy. You know you can play it, you’ve just got to convince the ‘other you’ that you can. The author of the inner game refers to it as self 1 and self 2. Good luck with it.

    Exactly! Copying without knowing the what or whys is a little - in my opinion - like painting by numbers. The time and energy you expend now will save time and energy later on.

    I didn’t go along the grades route myself, though I had lessons for years, and bass was my first instrument on my BMus course. I did a Rock school instructor course module in the final year at uni. Some of the more advanced grades would require some serious practice to accomplish. You can buy the books from Amazon, it might be worth getting one or two and read through them, before deciding if they’re for you. You might also find that you’re playing songs and styles of music that you don’t have a connection to. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but how serious do you want to take it? Have you got time to devote to it? It might just be better to seek out a good teacher and study with them.

    Madonna: ‘last night I dreamed of some bread rolls……..a young girl with eyes like potatoes’. I mean, what’s that all about?

    It was built in Italy by a luthier called Ẹnrico Pasini. I believe he did work for Fodera.

    I only have one bass.

    My one uni’s music dept uses Slack. It works OK, you can message one another, set calendars, share files etc.
