Gank Bass

First bass was a Peavey millennium bxp 5 string, totally inappropriate for a learner but I have fond rose tinted memories. Through my Laney RB9 with a fan that sounded like a Chinook taking off. Go to bass is a Chinese bitsa that has been repainted in every colour, currently sporting beige floral nursing home wallpaper. It weighs absolutely nothing and sounds superb with emg jx pickups "Your bass" probably same as above or it's pink Hawaiian painted sibling

We were regulars at a well known bar in Nottingham who's identity I will hide for their own privacy (let's just call them O'Meills Mirish Mar) Great rapport with the staff, free drinks and all that good stuff, feedback from the regulars saying how much busier it gets when we are billed. New manager takes over then a new resident DJ who's clearly good friends with him (zero flash or talent just sticking a playlist on) He took at immediate dislike to us for whatever reason, getting to the point where we'd be booked and he would have got their early and put tables and chairs on the stage or blocked it with his equipment boxes, stealing a set list of the stage and proceeding to play every song before we go on, walking on stage and trying to turn amps down. Just a weird unpleasant experience. We tried speaking to the manager but it "wasn't his problem" so we ended up putting them on our own blacklist I try not to judge as everyone has their own problems under their iceberg but you sir are a cock

I think what he means is he's struggling to dial in the sound that's in his head. Using well known pedals with distinct sounds is a quick shorthand way to describe the desired sound rather than straight up copying I love my stomp but I also have struggled to get a thick fuzz tone but I'm sure there are plenty out there on YouTube etc that have found the knack 👍

+1 for pro steels, they last a good while too

Purple.

+1 for this, had it for a long time before downsizing to hx stomp, incredibly responsive and purple which is always key

Has he had a fall?

I'd take either 🤦‍♂️

If you've got a good internal metronome you'll be fine regardless but I do not 😂 so having a little LED or light circle really helped! I've had a few over the years and they have all held value so it's worth picking one up to experiment as you're likely to get your money back through a sale

All great options with not much between them but having a visual loop indicator is a huge benefit!

Thanks Kiwi, after seeing his previous antics I think I'll just leave it

A friend is building me a body which happens to be a shape favoured by Lemmy, Geddy & Squires but for a bolt on ibanez talman neck Would photos of the progress be too contentious for Mr Hall?

Intrigued to know what else you're using the stomp for! 🤔 Sounds like something is plugged in the wrong input? Could you post some photos of your setup to help diagnose?

Just a few cable management improvements thanks to a hole saw and Amazon's wide range of cables!

This is so meta

Have you tried booking under the guise of a pothead that wants to have a mini rave and damage all the equipment? I believe they are welcomed

The 1st gen Shure glx can be found for £200 these days (i got mine for this b.i.n on eBay a couple of years ago) Really can't go wrong with that!

Sorry to hear your bad experience OP! We used to use pirate when they first started (Nottingham location) and for a while it seemed great - very clean, decent gear, plenty of availability - but it went downhill very quick. Their reliance on gimmicky ai customer service is incredibly frustrating and they don't seem to want to maintain their equipment. Take your business elsewhere! If anyone needs rehearsal space in Nottingham check out Stave Rooms 🤟

Have you tried richtone?

Brings back fond memories of the police being called to a pub gig on the lovely Birmingham waterfront. The complaint came from a nearby docked boat, maybe float off??

Hello all, I'm currently using the voodoo labs hx stomp current doubler but I'm looking for right angle cable options to prevent damage from it sticking out. I found an adapter thanks to a Reddit thread but on testing it the unit wouldn't power up. Any proven suggestions? EDIT adapter was in a pack of 2. Second one worked 🤦‍♂️ thread can be closed whilst I clean the egg off my face

Well done for persevering! I think I would have lost my head in a blind rage over a no show! I get mardy enough with other members turning up late without a good excuse/doctors note/hand written letter from mum saying they've got the shits

2 pints before the gig, you'll be fine

Over the last few gigs I felt like I was bringing too much stuff and causing myself tap dancing problems, unwanted activation and cancellation of effects due to big feet Vs cramped board. Decided to downsize and condense from a very crowded temple audio duo 17 to a much more considered rock board 2.1!
