Unfortunately I have now got something on in the morning I can't avoid... my promise of cake is a bit lacking. I'm still hoping to get there in the afternoon though.

Just echoing others here. Don't be afraid to take a break for a while if its all getting to you! When I got to a certain point a while ago my wife wisely said, "There's a difference between needing to take a break and having to take a break." I would recommend to protect yourself a little and try not to get to the point where you are forced to take one. Go on sound desk where no one takes note or thanks you

Ha this is great! Just stumbled across your post. Even just to hear Matt Redman sound like he's trying to sing like the Andrew Eldrich from the Sisters of Mercy I am going to try this out! Great suggestion. EDIT - Alright, maybe not as metal as I hoped for. 😅 Still great tool!

Cake 🍰 😉

Thanks! I'm just always curious where stuff I buy is manufactured, not just basses.

Nice, I saw someone locally selling one for under 100squid and was a little tempted. Even more so now Curiously, just been doing a quick google, but does it say where the bass was made?

How interesting, thats a lot of pickups! It's passive though? Sorry I am still pretty new, passive bass humbucker? Edit - sorry ignore me, googled it and now englightened You going to record any samples?

All you seem to have amazing floors, tables or gardens to take pictures on Very pretty!

Thanks everyone! I do like the idea of some open mic nights/jam nights so I am going to try and go along so some of those.

So after yet another wasted time on JMB... I just want to play some music with people... so disheartening... Thought to myself, I should actually probably record a couple of things to send off to people might save a little bit of time. As ever might be a stupid thing to ask, anyone got any suggestions or something they like to do? Use a backing track, just do a small 30 second self jam, use my looper pedal and mess around? All three? Feel free to share examples! I could look on youtube but not sure I am ready to share my bass shreding and tapping techniques... only get more discouraged!

Touché!

25. Me - Cake, lots of. Are there tea and coffee making facilities at the venue?

No 8 string guitarists here? As a recent convert to bass I really see the appeal now, maybe an octave pedal in there for more lows. At least to experiment with. As my dad taught me, "The number of strings isnt a measurement of your genitalia son... its the type of car you have..."

Something I missed, should I bring cake?

Maybe... I'll just leave my stuff behind Not like my Ibanez is very exotic.. More room in the car to go home with stuff!

Relatively new to my bass journey! So don't feel what I can bring will add much.... I am happy to bring along my Ibanez SR600e, pedal board and headphones - for people who might want to try stuff out in the comfort of just their own ears

Thank you both! Sounds amazing, putting it in the diary now!

This sound interesting, really sorry if this is mentioned earlier. What happens at this? 🤣 I can see lots of people are bringing interesting things which looks good!

At first I was like, well as least she isn't soldering the CPU fan like the kid... then I saw it. Good thing she has eye protection on!

Amazing! Thank you everyone!

Right stupid question, and probably something I should have figured out a while ago. Why do some active basses need two 9v batteries? I think I get it for something like a dual humbucker, but there seems to be others that have it and only single coil?

Heck I make mistakes all the time... no one ever follows the bass Maybe I need to sing too.

Well that makes mine look like a childs puzzle toy That's amazing!

My pretty humble first try at a pedal board! Still have to figure out how to place my power supply nicely, align everything up nicely... and well might be getting even more pedals and do some shuffling.
