Not alot of interest in this clearly but il keep posting them anyway! 😂

I was thinking about doing this for a while, but lockdown has cemented the idea for me. All the musos I know who can record their craft get together for some jam sessions. First up is my old school friend Dave Butt. He's in Australia now and he says he's not much a guitarist anymore but him and I used to play in a cover band that played extreme, mr big and dream theater... so he knows his way round a fret board. Anyway... here's hs version of a dream theater tune. When i heard it i actual felt bad about adding stuff to it, but for the purposes of the video i kinda had to. Enjoy...

The latest installment of our remote Jam sessions. An old classic...

I love amplitube custom shop as its free and sounds great. It has just the right amount of things to play with although obviously if you're wanting more effects then they need to be purchased as additions. If just looking for a good quality clean tone then I'd definitely recommend. The guitars are decent too but the bass is excellent in my opinion.

A wee video me and my band done over the weekend. We all just recorded our parts at hone and then I put them together into the video! Turned out decent and it was good fun to do! I've got a few other ones on the go with this band, and other random collaborations with muso pals.. Some covers, some just jams. All just for a bit of fun to pass some time!

Cos I got it for 40 quid 2nd hand! Plus... what's the fun in that?!

I've got a black 4 string one that I bought for de-frtting purposes. I've defretted but not got round to finishing it. It's reaonable for the money However I did used to have the HB jazz copy - the one with a block markers etc... can't mind the model... that was outstanding for £100 and I happily gigged with it - although i ended up selling it in the end as it hefty, to say the least.

It's what I use. The basics are pretty intuitive so you'll get up and running no probs! For the more complicated stuff, quite literally google any question you have and someone has asked the same question at some point on some from somewhere, and someone has answered. It's great!

And that's exactly why it only goes up for those occasional tunes! I'd happily have it high up the whole time if I didn't feel like I looked like that! 😂😂

I do actually change strap height mid set, if there's a song that involves more slap. I just find it more comfortable if it's higher. I've only started doing this in the past few years though.

Yeah, not overly keen on the squashed body.

Had a charity gig cancelled until later in the year. It was a dep gig and I've been promised the rearranged event 3ven if the bassist is available! Very nice of the band!

Yep, if its anything like the one I had it will play wonderfully. Much nicer headstock decal on yours too

Excellent! I spend most weekends in girdwoods and i'm out for a birthday that evening but may very well end back at girdwoods!

I'm just up the road in wishaw so I'll keep my eyes peeled. Good luck man.

If you're also running on stage amps then it could just be a simple case of stage volume being too loud and the monitors are just struggling to keep up.

It's a tricky one, because I'd happily gig with both and the 2nd hand one will last. For me it's totally dependant on how important the extra dosh is to you.

Yep, it didn't take much to get to grips with it to be fair. I actually love it in passive so I'll be interested what I end up doing when I eventually get out gigging with it.

The one I always remember for me is when I was 16 I was doing a gig in a pub in Glasgow.. My bro drive me in with my bass amp. After sou d check I had my p bass copy plugged in and leaning against the fabric grill of the amp. Windsor the drummer stepped back off the 4" drum rise, onto my lead which pushed right into the cavity, breaking the plastic pick guard and making the lead stuck inside at an angle. It still worked so we decided just to play the gig as is and deal with it at a later date. Started the gig to find my amp farting as it had never farted before. After a quick look I could see that there was a perfect tuning peg sized hole in the speaker.. Must have happened during the lead incident. Had to just put up with it, however I then broke a string and had no spares, so one of the other bands handed me their bass to play. Complete disaster. Only to get back to the car to find it had been broken into! Oh what a night that was.

😂

That's incredible. You definitely should stick a more detailed build diary up as I for one would be keen to see the process.

Cool, I'll have a look. Thanks

Nylon coated. Pretty fun to play although I think ill be swapping out to standard roundwounds when i can.
