Happy Jack, the headphone hole would presumably connect it to some headphones and the DI hole would presumably connected it to my home studio.

As a later assumption, I could make, buy, or steal a cab and plug it into that.

Mostly I'd try and get it in my pocket though and say 'oooooooh greeeeen' at it a lot.

What's different about a real TE?

It's a tidgey class-D amp designed to be lightweight and portable; suitable for practice or small venues.

The old/mainstream/vintage TE kit was big and bold, size & weight no issue; there always seemed to be a bigger one available if you needed to upsize!

I'll be using mine at the Junkyard Dogs Xmas Bash this evening. Keep the Volume low but the Gain high ...

Cheers for the feedback. I don't remotely have the feel of the original, I know that and I'm working on the 'bounce' of it, I lose most of that when the red light comes on, annoying because i don't suffer the same with drums.

My process is in Logic Pro, I cycle a 2 or 4 bar loop and try and nail the pattern, I do that for the major grooves. Then I go back and look at the 'widdly bits' and loop over those. Lastly I loop over the section changes because hitting the next groove without a wobble whilst playing the passing tones makes me stumble.

That clever human said it best: amateurs practise till they get it right, professionals practise till they don't get it wrong

Seems you are working at the other extreme of trying to perfect it in micro amounts. If you were to apply the *doing it in slightly larger sections* process, then the feel will develop a lot more easily. It will be near impossible to get a groove going doing it in such tiny chunks. Maybe forget doing the actual recording process for the moment might take the pressure off?. Maybe someone else might come along to give better advice though ! 👍

Yeh, I think I'm a bit plagued by being a drummer, most of my stuff DOES loop every two bars It's a time period that makes sense, I get a bit 'lost' in a 12 bar phrase of where it's up to, or it feels like forever till the 'start' comes around again.

Thanks for the advice, it's certainly something to try. I won't know what works till I give it a go.

The recording is because I'm shy and scared and if I wait till I'm 'ready' then I'll never do it ever.

Sorry to hear that...may ne someone here who can help: https://www.basschat.co.uk/forum/26-tutors-available/

Good luck!

It was recorded in a weekend, mostly live, up in Skye.

It sounds very organic and spontaneous.

It consists of the older stuff that she'd written before she got her record contract.

I think it's her best album.

I think it grooves so hard it's practically sweaty. Her band is soooooo much better live than recorded though.

Mrs Axe's favourite KTT album. Yep, that is properly snarly. Maybe it was close mic'ed?

That's very kind of you to say.

Are you sure that sanding is necessary?  You might just be looking at congealed gunk.  The lemon oil should soften a lot of this for you with repeated applications, a soaking in period and gentle application of a suitable scraper.

An old credit card is good for scraping the fingerboard without risk of marring the wood.
