    DIY Effects

    I haven't used them for ages as, not long after building them, we moved house and they've stayed in an old pedal board case since. I remember the fuzz being very representative of the original Fuzz Face, giving that singing lead tone (on guitar) that Eric Johnson employs. It also cleans up really well from the guitar volume, giving a wide range of tones. The Throb does what it says on the tin pretty much. Very nice, old school tremolo and you can get a passable impression of Johnny Marr playing How Soon Is Now from it. I must break them out again sometime, but I rarely play electric guitar these days and they're not the kinds of effect that I use for bass.

    DIY Effects

    I made a couple of pedals during the lockdowns. They were meant to last weeks, but I got carried away and finished them in a couple of days each, despite trying to go slow. The graphics aren’t a patch on @Bassybert’s, however.

  5. My band were booked to play a wedding in Quimper, France. We set off from the London ’burbs in one van to Plymouth (why we didn’t use Portsmouth is still beyond me) where we had a pre ferry curry. After the crossing, we arrived in Quimper at breakfast time, so a very French repast was had. We checked into the caravan the couple had booked for us and then had the most leisurely set up of all time. We were supposed to go on at eleven o’clock, but didn’t take the stage until one in the morning the next day! Because of the time, we only played one long set and then retired to the caravan, with no need to break the gear down - luxury! Up the next day for an al fresco breakfast, pack the gear up and return home to Blighty. So many laughs along the way, it will stay with me until my mind goes or I peg it. Happy times.

  7. I can’t let an opportunity to share one of my favourite Danny Thompson tracks go by. I don’t know why I’ve waited so long.

  15. In the last few days I've tried to buy 2 EUBs, both from a well known retailer. Both of the items, although on their website, were already sold. Who knew it would be so difficult to spend money?

      I started with a Stagg EUB that they had advertised for not much but, as that was sold apparently, they suggested a KK Baby Bass. That was 3 times as much, but after to listening to various clips and some internal debate, I decided to go for it - already sold. :facepalm:

  17. I saw this and thought the pickup was bit too far towards the neck, the 32” doesn’t look as far forward, although I’m not mad about the finishes on either.
