Excuse me, Miss? Whaddya mean, "Miss?" I'm sorry, I have a cold.

This ^^^ I recently bought an MXR M87 compressor and I'm using it at the end of my signal chain (this is what happens in recordings, so why not not on your board?). My EBS chorus (even with the wet/dry trim pot turned down as far as it'll go) gives a noticeable jump in output as does the octave, but not as much, so the M87 keeps that under control nicely. I have a 'limiter' on my amp, but at 3:1 it's very soft.

This PM from our drummer’s back garden. 15:30-16:30 livestream on FB. 😬

I’m back ‘treading the boards’ this afternoon for a livestream gig from our drummer’s back garden (so more like ‘treading the grass’). I’m a little anxious, not with social aspect of it, that’ll be fine, it’s more about whether I‘ll still get the old buzz or if, like some folk in this thread, my joy for live performance has died. During the lockdown, I have started to get into recording and I really enjoy the whole process and I still get to play with other people, just not in person. We will see...

I'm of the 'If it doesn't get played, it goes' brigade and I have a bass and amp that are heading that way. However, if you're changing your mind at the key moment as indicated above, there must be a reason for that and you need to come to terms with it. The last thing you want is seller's regret (I hate it).

Such good album, everyone in the band is on point.

I'm always hoping I'll be confused with A.B.E, same instrument, same surname, same level of talent...oh, hang on, something's not right there.

...and must cut off my hands* for fear of insulting what is truly great talent. I'd like to be able to play my electric fretless (or fretted for that matter) as well as R G-F does on DB. Mind blow 🤯 *not going to do this, BTW.

Ah, so a pickguard is to protect one’s instrument from nasal deposits. Makes sense. 😁

Listened to 17-11-70 again the other day; Dee Murray, what a player.

I’d add Mayer’s ‘Where The Light Is’, you get De La and Pino!

@NoirBass Happy cake day. 🎂🎁🎸

TOTES! FRICKIN, BLOODY TOTES! My bladder has just exploded due to the huge pressure created by my boiling urine.

Shamelessly borrowed from the reggae thread. I’m loving this...

I know we’ve kind of derailed the thread somewhat (welcome to BC, everyone) but I’d like to add ‘sleeps’ to list of modern day parlance - boils my p155!

I’m afraid so; sozzles 😆.

Oreo, British? I think not. Similarly, Choco Leibniz (although they are delicious).

Time drop another grenade in the room - sozzles.

That is brilliant!

Voted. Is there a prize for being first? 🤞😁

Whilst I'm not an encyclopaedia of music/songwriting talent, I have been around a goodly while and I think I have had exposure to a very wide range of music throughout my life. A quick scan through and I hadn't heard of about 10% of them, whilst there are clearly some people missing. Lists eh, whatcha gonna do?

If these are not fit for purpose, soldered or not, they should go back. Take it up with Wilkinson perhaps?

Not before time!

Alder. Warmer sounding than ash, lighter than mahogany (if you subscribe to tonewoods of course). Standard, vintage Fender fare.
