I wish this thread had run a year or so ago. While I knew not to use WD40, I used the electrical contact cleaner I had in the garage (I’m into kit cars) on the scratchy pots on my practice amp. They are all now noisy again, but one in particular is worse than ever, and which I think I’ll have to replace. So some good advice been given in earlier posts.

Saw Herman’s Hermits a couple or so years ago - one original member, the drummer. And didn’t he build up his part. Searchers, 1.5 originals, but so sad to see them frankly (sorry) not being very good. I believe they’ve now retired. At least with ABBA we have all 4 originals, well, voices at least, even if they’re not performing live.

Lord won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz - Janis Joplin

Whispering Grass - Don Estelle and Windsor Davies

This is what I did, and even with headphones the sound man couldn’t hear the bass. A point made, I felt, without upsetting anyone!

To know know know him - the teddy bears

The devil went down to Georgia - Charlie Daniels Band

You can’t sit down - the Beatmen

FWIW, I went to see blues harmonica player Paul Lamb and his band the other night, and noticed that while the vocals went through the PA, the instruments all appeared to go straight to their amps. Presumably line-outs to the sound desk, but I couldn’t see any pedals. Sound was excellent.

Baby Driver - S&G

I who have nothing - burly chassis

When - the Kalin twins

He ain’t heavy he’s my brother - The Hollies

Blackbird - McCartney etc

(I’ll) Walk the Line - Johnny Cash
