  1. Bought a Boss VE-20 Vocal Performer pedal from Patrick, really easy transaction, great communication and a great guy. And he didn't ask me to sing!
  2. Just checked mine as I couldn't remember. Volume 1 has full tab & notation...Volume 2 is mainly just notation with some tab to get each exercise started. Oddly Volume 3 which I've not really looked at properly yet seems to be full tab and notation again.
  3. I had the exact same issue with the Truetone One Spot earth pin snapping off. GuitarGuitar sent me a replacement with no issues, but I never really trusted it after that and was always super cautious when using it. I ended up buying the Truetone CS6 as it fits on the underside of my pedalboard, it's been great, and as it has a standard kettle/IEC cable I've got no worries about the plug. But yeah, that's Truetone again which you understandably want to avoid!
  4. Really horrible to hear this, del Amitri are one of my all time favourite bands and Justin is a tremendous songwriter. My dad has Parkinsons and its brutal to watch the slow decline.
  5. Yeah that was us. Just the bands 5th gig, 4th since me and the singer joined. The Dreadnought have been good for us. I'm pencilling in the glam bands Xmas gig, although hoping I can catch you before then. Got tickets for Maiden Scotland at the Dreadnought too in May, always a great night.
  6. Great stuff Dave, we played the Dreadnought on Friday night. When I went for a pee I saw the Emergency Exit poster and thought, where do I know that name from?...then where do I know that bassist from? Ah, it's Dave from Basschat! I would have liked to have come along to see you, but combo of post-gig knackeredness and daughters 19th birthday shenanigans put paid to any chance of it. Glad you got a good crowd. We expected a handful of folk, but was better than expected, although not overly busy. Enjoyed the gig though, sound engineer was great. It's a cracking place to play. If I was local I'd be seeing bands there every week.
  7. Why? Why did you have to show me this? Just as I was getting happy with my pedalboard setup and telling myself I don't need/want any new toys...
  8. Few that I quite like - Why We Love Music - John Powell The Inner Game of Music - Barry Green How To Write One Song - Jeff Tweedy
  9. This is absolutely superb. Fine work sir!
  10. Last gig of the year for us last night, supporting Too Late To Atone at The Monarch Bar in Dunfermline. Played a 45 min set, had a blast, cracking crowd. Headline band were superb and looked after us very well. I kept things super simple and skipped the pedalboard, just straight from bass to the amp & PA. Thoroughly enjoyable evening even if my post-set bevvies are having an adverse effect on my head today.
  11. Yeah I'm from Carluke and most of my family are from (and still reside in) Wishaw & surrounding areas. I used to play for the Clydesdale Colts American football team and the player of the year do was always at Cambusnethan Miners. Pleased to hear its still going. Glad the bass is ok.
  12. A blast from the past for me! Had many a great night in there in the mid-90s. Hope your bass and gear is all ok, what a shame that idiot had to ruin a good night.
  13. Can you copy and paste another preset over the top of the corrupted ones?
  14. Second ever gig for the rock covers band I joined in March last night. At the Hive Nightclub in Edinburgh. Had an absolute blast, great wee venue, crowd got right into it pretty much from the start, plenty of signing, dancing and a bit of headbanging. Rig for those interested : Squier 40th Anniversary Precision (I love this thing, can't stop playing it, use it over my more expensive basses now) into Warwick Gnome I Pro 600 (via Helix HX Stomp) and Markbass New York 121 cab. Was DI'd from the amp and used IEMs to ensure I heard myself...it's loud up there. Has to be said, a good gig is great for the old mental health.
