Yeah… I’ll give that a go, thanks! I think avoiding bleach for sure. Some of the gunk is like 10 year old historic nastiness. Plus would rather use one rag than many disposable wipes. But worth a shot, ta!

My cables need a clean. All of the stuff I can find on the web is for cable jointing and/or is like £15 postage. Anyone got any recommends for something from like screwfix, B&Q? I’ve got some “sticky stuff remover” that I’ll try on an old cable, but that’s not a good long term test ie will it make the pvc go brittle over time? Thanks!

I customised my EHX Triple switch! 🤩 Here’s the Word file in case of use to anyone! https://1drv.ms/w/s!Arjk5eAqeURcg_0T6iFQF69j_OxAUA

Yeah, they’re great. Quality stuff, fast. Been using their speakon cables for like 12 years now without a hint of an issue. Great company, and the ability to get custom stuff made is ace

They ARE clicky, aren’t they? I use a Dunlop Tortex triangle 1mm on a few songs, because either I want that sound or it’s too blessed fast for my little fingers to keep up! 😊

And complete! The aim was things I press on the bottom, things that I don't press on the top. Major overhaul following removal of delay and introduction of Boss WL-50. The PSUs and Hub stayed on but everything else off, start again. Harley Benton solderless patch cables apart from the long tuner > C4 run, which is Lava (because they're great for sneaking cables up the side of pedals!). Gets it's first outing (alongside two other wireless units!) on Saturday. In emergency, a right-angle jack will fit in the Boss Input socket to bypass the wireless (once the 3 way switch has been temporarily nudged aside). Omniport 2 on the MC6MkII is available for my expression pedal if I ever actually use it 😄

Yay!! Addition of Boss wireless means major overhaul time!! Like a pig in….

Bought a Boss wireless from Andy, excellent quick service, no issues, highly recommended! Thanks!!

Some nice gigs here, folks. Clutching at Straws did Rock on the Rec festival Stamford earlier today. A lively line up of songs… we started with Mamma Mia 😂. New “floor amp” setup for our singer/rhythm guitarist and mind on other things (plus the usual “you get what you get” line check monitor mix) meant it wasn’t popping, but we played well and I mixed up the 20 year old set list for an hour of bangers that the boys had to think about a bit for once. If previous band was anything to go by, there was absolutely no bass guitar in the foh mix! Hey ho.

Yeah… if my 700 ever gives it up I’d cry a little I think. I’ve got an MB as a backup but it’s not as good as the real thing!

Still drying!! 🤢

Excellent days gigs with Clutching at Straws. Morning was cabling up for the evening gig. Then a set up in baking full sun at a community event in Elsea Park, Bourne. Really, really hot. Gallons of water and sunblock. Then charged off to Langtoft Lakes for the private party that I cabled up earlier. Superb gig, dance floor rammed. Left the house at 10:00, home at 00:45 for a much needed shower. Followed by hoovering everything out.. crawling with ants from the evening’s marquee gig. Three 18” fans on stage. Cool as cucumber. And fed and watered at both gigs Fresh strings on the Dimension. Awesome, awesome bass sound. Really cranked the GK today, which they really like. Boost knob for the win!!

See, look: Bourne Festival, headline Saturday night, this weekend back in 2018. Boiiiiiing!!

Meh. After the last one with 4 Play (I know, I know) last night’s (Greyhound pub, Sutton Bridge) was so so. Singer man still not sure on arrangements and introduced his acoustic. Too many variables. Also: we play for like 45 mins and take a break… wha? No no no, just keep playing! Plus sides: I mixed the guitar and associated BVs at a sensible level rather than the +245dB usually favoured by said stringed instrument wielder. Sounds, erm, better that way! Three weekends in a row coming up with Clutching at Straws, the big boy cover band. Stocked full of musicians and able to make ANY room dance… two gigs next Saturday, following weekend Sunday afternoon at Rock on the Rec Stamford (45 min beer festival sets are what we were born to do. Start with Mamma Mia* and turn the wick up from there. Lights, PA, plug in and play. Few will emerge unscathed) and a wedding the following Saturday at our mate Malcolm’s personal pub. Excellent. Can’t freaking wait. As usual this weekend Fender Dimension > GK > Barefaced for the win. Betty needs new strings for her busy month ahead. * worth noting that Timbo and I Agnetha and Frida in the original key. We’re male, and in our 50s and late 40s respectively. I give myself an attaboy every time we play it.

I WISH my bands played to a click. Rhythm guitarist in both bands not solid, drummer in one of the bands struggles to start a song at same tempo on diff nights and ALWAYS speeds up during guitar solos. Every. Single. One.

I had a good read of the manual last night… it really is Swiss Army knife that thing!

Agreed… our guitarist has not long picked one up second hand. It’s quite astonishing for the size! Runs into a 1x12” passive black star cab and has an out for passing to mixer / local mon. Such a neat setup. EDIT: refers to the BluGuitar…

Ha ha! Hadn’t seen that… somewhat archaically worded!

One of these… KROSER Laptop Bag Premium Laptop Briefcase Fits Up to 17.3 Inch Laptop Expandable Water-Repellent Shoulder Messenger Bag Computer Bag https://amzn.eu/d/dpN09HI Was even cheaper when I got it. Fits everything: Amp, cables, papers/folders, iPad, earplugs, picks, vocalzone, bottle of water, towel, bottle opener etc. great piece of kit!

Personally, I look like an idiot in a hat. I want to look great in a hat eg cowboy, flat cap, etc. I don’t so I applaud those who carry it off, whilst remaining slightly and irrationally bitter about the whole thing.

Lol. You know the singers are young when they can read the words off a phone! I’m nearly at the “buying the biggest brightest iPad I can find” stage!

Nice! Just checked out some of the tracks on Spotify. Sounds good… great voice! Is that you on the recordings too?
