  1. So about last Thursday night’s gigs at @diyspace4london I took the bass out for a ride... many photos by the amazing theatrical photographer: Rah Petherbridge. This one shows off the punk bassist in her element. Angry and monochrome.

      I like this one so much I might use it more often.

  2. Final step, got home Friday night to find 6 boxes of vinyl under my desk. Boxed 90 to go this Monday next post. It’s been a slog becoming a punk balladeer with a bass-that-thinks-it’s-also-a-guitar but I got there in the end, thanks to the audience at the gig (download cards and preorders) it broke even and has given me the confidence to make another one in the coming year — certainly no shortage of material now and in the next 5 years of misrule.

  3. My Trans-themed MJT-aged Bass arrived. Assembly begins: Allparts neck’s bolted on w/threaded inserts, Seymour Duncan pups are my go-to for most builds. If all goes well I’ll be playing it for the 1st time on the 12th @diyspace4london,

      I would have to sand down that sharp edge to stop it digging in my arm when I played. But I play finger style, if you use a pick you should be ok ;)

      The trans-bass lives and breathes. Wired it up & setup is good, I reckon I can dial in a little closer to the neck over time. It’s a little bright sounding on account of having an insufficient value tone capacitor but that can be sorted easily. It’s so agricultural the pick ups are adjusted for height using a wedge of foam & two screws.

  5. Dubplates and mastering have done their magic as usual. Amazing black magic voodoo stuff these people achieve.

      I think the "Rise Up" tune is attached to the "Cis" tune on your bandcamp page. Either that or my computer's too slow....

      Bandcamp was having library problems last night, apparently. Seems to be sorted now.

      good stuff!

  10. Drums down and tidied up some timings... might do a bit more but sitting back for now. This is the B Side ‘Problem Child ’ by Claire Foxx & The Antisocial Justice Worriers. This is my Punk Rock.

  11. Balance and desk mix. next to import into DAW for cleanup and tweaks, de-gulping and de-easing, then off to mastering engineer. Some typos in the art and tweaks needed there too but i’m about to press. On white and red splatter vinyl 7” single.

    No computer was used in the recording.

      Great news - nice to have something out on vinyl :)
      Also I agree with Richard - nice bass sound
       

  12. Just recorded a very rough punk demo for my next song on an iPad propped up next to the Trace Bin. The bass is my new pink 51 replica. It rips through the song.
