Be A Dentist - Steve Martin

Wow! For a ‘new to the low end’ guitarist, you have some stellar gear there.

I agree, it’s a nice touch and positively lovely compared to the everyday straight cut I’m used to.

Santa Claws Is Coming To Town - Bruce Springsteen & others

Prawn to be Wild - Steppenwolf

Another Brixham in the Wall - Floyd

Seven Seas of Rye - Queen

Animal - Def Leppard

Big Log - Robert Plant

Let’s Stick Together - Canned Heat/Bryan Ferry

Practise I guess, or just an ability to separate the two things mentally, rather like playing a syncopated bass line and singing at the same time. Although not in the same league, I was called on to sing Bowie’s China Girl. Couldn’t do it at first, but with lots and lots of practise behind closed doors, accompanied with lots of errors, I finally nailed it. Drummers and keyboard players have this separation as an essential part of what they do and then many sing as well. Flash buggers 😂

The Bread’s Too Big Without You - The Police

Drop C by all accounts. Here’s the analysis video that introduced me to Ms Cunningham.

It was hearing David Byrne’s current bass player using one of these that sent me down the short scale rabbit hole. Sweet score, I’m rather envious.

I follow Rhett Shull on YT and he posted a video about this singer songwriter. I quite like it, Joni Mitchell meets, er, The Meters, maybe? Anyway: Madison Cunningham…

It’s a fault. I have 2 EBS pedals that I’ve had for ages and I’ve recently had to re-solder the connections to the footswitch on both of them (intermittent failure to turn on). This assumes that it’s an older pedal that you’ve acquired.

25 or 6 to 4 - Chicago

Lady Marmalade - LaBelle

Mortician’s Blues - Various

I have a Mustang and a shorty ‘Ray, the ‘Ray is 30mm shorter than the Mustang. Therefore, it should easily fit in the Edge. I have a Maruszczyk, short gigbag and it’s an easy fit into that. FYI, @Eric.C.Lapton, the ‘Ray is roughly 25mm wider at the headstock than the Mustang, due to the 3 over 1 setup, but this width is lower down, where a bag normally flares out and I haven’t found it to be an issue.

I’m not sure I’m losing overtones, but maybe I am. However, in a mix, it seems to sit better, maybe that means stand out, without interfering with other sounds in the mix, which may cause sonic mush. The long and short of it is, if you don’t like what compression does, don’t use it, there are no rules that say you must or must not use a particular sound, which also applies to eq or any effect. If it sounds good, it is good. As I said, YMMV.
