    Some really nice soul/funk bass playing with Candi Station now

    Once the festival is over, I'll not miss hearing another over compressed drum sound until they mess it all up again next year.

    I don't think they were impressed

    Yes, i think you're missing something here. He's loosing his voice, taking a 'stress' break and could barely sing the last number. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jun/24/lewis-capaldi-at-glastonbury-review

    Bet he could do a great Mustang Sally

    I'm sure James said to his roadie "you can tune it now" as he handed his bass over at the end

    And haven't heard any of them yet on the coverage. Even through hifi speakers.

    Not bass related, but backup issue related. Our drummer accidentally knocked our guitarists Les Paul off its (not that steady) stand before our gig on Saturday. Snapped the headstock at the join (inherent Les Paul weak point). Drummer was mortified. Luckily the guitarist had a spare Tele to play and was upset but ok about it. Shows the worth of a backup instrument. We're all good friends so no arguments or fist were raised.

    Not 100% sure, but i think pre/post is just pre/post main fader. It should keep the processing. If FOH levels are changed, you'll want foldback set to pre so it doesn't effect the foldback. Sends to effects however are set to post so if the FOH levels are changed, so is the send level. Otherwise you'll just endup with the effect return and no dry signal.

    It's been said already, but a tech rehursal really should be the next step. One where there's no pressure of setting up for a gig, and everyone can say what they need with time to sort it. Set up in a rehursal room as you woukd for a gig. We use the Soundcraft U24 and and IEMs (and have done for 3 years) but we just had a 'reset' of levels and spent a good couple of hours setting it up right. Myself and the drummer can both engineer live sound so we can both work the desk (and we have an engineer for gigs). We've had terrible sound before, and I agree it can be a terrible experience. And you shouldn't compromise, you just need time to sort it. The pre-gig stress time isn't the ideal place to be sorting out issues .

    Good luck. Thin coats.... 🧥

    The first one was a couple or 3 hours indoors. Then progressively longer. The penultimate one probably 24 hours or more. It takes longer each time as the oil needs to sink in (and dry) and obviously the previous coat is already there (if you see what I mean). The last coat, although touch dry in a few days will take a few weeks to fully harden. It xan then be buffed up. Yes with a rag, very light coats mind or you'll be waiting forever for it to dry. Be patient, but it's worth it.

    Thinking about it, what Linceed did that nitrocellulose didn't do is bring out the grain. This is the neck of my 76 jazz, and although the colour is similar, the grain is definitely more pronounced on the Linceed (as oil soaks in, nitro stays on top). It's also more satin than hi-gloss. This what I was after, so it was ok for me, but just so you know before hand. 👍

    This is the finish I went for on my maple neck after removing the poly. The headstock is the original as i didn't want to loose the decals. This 4 coats of boiled linced oil, aplied with a rag, allowing the previous coat to dry. I find it a much smoother feel than the poly that was there (I sanded to 800 grit). It really brought out the grain as well. I did a test sample on a piece of maple i had between the boiled Linseed, Danish Oil and Beeswax and this was the most 'vintage' look. Very pleased with the outcome.

    I've definitely noticed on my jazz that if they are too high they seem "overloaded", but not in a nice way. And the G can have the weird overtones mentioned above. And too low and some of the fullness is missing. I've found that there is a sweet spot and its very slightly different depending on the gauge of the strings.

    Doh! 🤦. Boiled Linseed, that's what I meant.

    I've re done a maple neck i sanded back with Burnt Linseed oil to create that effect. Worked really well. The more layers you add the more the effect. Make sure each layer is dry first though. The more layers the longer the drying time. Gave a really nice feel to play with.
