An hour+ of my time well spent. I'm envious.

If Northern can't sort you out, the Curtis Novaks don't sound a million miles away from the JMJ Seymour Duncans to my ears, perhaps a little less low end, more even (despite what Philip Conrad says at the end):

That’s it, I’m moving to York and planning your downfall! Seriously, congrats and you must keep us (well me really) with whether you continue to use the Frankenstang with them.

First, congrats on being back in a band. Second, you dirty, lucky dog, I love the sound of the band, that is right up my strasse! Just a quick listen on the iPad and I’m hooked. Definitely going to have to listen to this on the iMac with headphones. I hear so many things I like, no least the vocals - very ‘80s Geddy, but smoother and less jarring and I hear Marillion in the opening track - it’s all good! This has reminded me to start nagging my covers band (60s/mod type thing, which I never thought I’d enjoy, but do) to start playing some of the guitarist’s original work.

Walther This Way - Aerosmith

Totally blank except for the text underneath. FB is a joke these days in terms of reliability, flakier than a Gregg's cheese pasty.

My Best Friend’s Girl - The Cars

Wordy Rappinghood - Tom Tom Club

This seems to be the correct compressor thread to post this. Don’t know if anyone has posted this already, but this popped up on my YT feed today. I’m not endorsing it or debasing it (no pun intended), just FYI.

Jump - Van Halen

I Wanna Be Your Dog - The Stooges

The Pros And Cons Of Hitchhiking - Roger Waters

Definitely. Do it and post the result here.

But so easily avoided/rectified.

A photo from last night's gig.

I've watched a few of your videos on YouTube, always worth a watch, I love your enthusiasm.

Played an ‘ex-serviceman’s’ club last night. Decent enough stage and a good sized room. During soundcheck an early punter said it was too loud, which didn’t bode well, but they were the first ones up dancing; people are weird. An OK gig, but again there were timing issues of starts, stops, etc, which is starting to grind my gears a bit and it looks like I’m going to have to start counting everything for everyone else’s benefit, to bring them in with nods, etc. Audience seem very low key and felt it wasn’t a good venue for us really, as it all felt a bit flat. Another gig in 2 weeks, hopefully, that’ll be better.

Yeah, I’m looking forward to those being readily available, as that’ll stop me having to customise long scale ones for my Hardly Bent-one.

Short scale flats should be ok (assuming your new one doesn’t have through body stringing).

They have one in Kenny’s, Dunfermline. Some details, but really detailed. https://www.kennysmusic.co.uk/fender-player-precision-bass-maple-fingerboard-ocean-turquoise-with-tortoiseshell-pickguard-p498

Going up 0.005 on each string seems to work (at least with D’Addarios). I thought the black on your fingers was from a bland new set of La Bella flats (I’ve had that issue with them, when I’ve not wiped them down beforehand). If that’s just grim, eew!

This does seem to be a recurring theme with them.
