My band's first release is out! 😁 https://ditto.fm/decimator-black-hole-jets

Got any 1974 album recommendations? Going through my CDs, I noticed the only ones from that year are Natty Dread and Pick A Dub.

Guitarguitar have the Keeley Bassist on offer for £149, and the almost-identical and totally usable with bass GC-2 for £99. I know at least half of my posts are me banging on about how great the Bassist is, but... it really is very good! 😊

Soldering experts! I've accidentally ended up with 40/60 solder instead of 60/40 🤦♂️
Do I need to change it, or is it not going to be noticeably different for guitar wiring and small electronics stuff? -
First outdoor gig! I was expecting a numb right hand to give me trouble, but it never occurred to me how much I rely on the sense of touch in the left hand to judge distances between frets. Spent a lot of time looking at the fretboard!

To be honest I think we were all so excited at the prospect of paid gigs that we didn't really think about the practicalities! I had fingerless gloves, but my digits were already chilly by the time the gig started - I think the trick is to wear normal gloves for as long as possible and switch at the last minute. Doing it again next Saturday, so I'll have a chance to test my theory!

Let us know how you get on MartinB Yes, full finger gloves right up until you're playing - that'll help
Maybe swap them for finger-less right at that point?
I recall years ago, on the OGWT, a (fretless?) bass player, playing whilst wearing those white, snooker ref type gloves!
Can't recall the band though.....
