They were happy with my backing vocals but want me to be louder as sometimes I wasn't triggering the noise gate.

 

So can't they turn the noise gate down?

Apparently all BV's go through it (me and guitarist) and he's louder, but noisier, than me.

 

To be fair, as it was my first time singing with them, I was holding back a lot.

First time at Matchbox in Warrington. Absolutely huge room.

 

Sharpening up the short set for our appearance at Ellesmere Port Summer Jam on 3rd August and messing about with phone cameras to try and get some clips for the band socials.

Sounding GOOOOOD!!!

Had a practice Tuesday evening with the covers band. Went through four new songs that may make the setlist hopefully. Pink Floyd Money, Jackson Browne Dr My Eyes, David Bowie Space Oddity and The Who Won't Get Fooled Again....really enjoyed them and all sounding pretty good for a first attempt. Played through a bassrig super vintage with my BB2000 and got a pretty good Entwhistle  sound, I was going for the isolated Shepperton sound. Eb3 for JB and Bowie numbers. We're a long way off playing these out but a good start.

Nice choice of songs there. I use Money as my soundcheck as it covers all 4 strings and isn't busy and the SE can easily set things up to it.

Got that tip on here somewhere.

Had a good rehearsal last night. 
 

Pirate Studios are pretty good and the air con and back line all worked fine. The Rumble 500 was really sounding great- cheap feeling controls but really serves up the sonic goods!

 

The guitarist and main songwriter tried out a couple of new numbers and one if them defo has potential. I’m not sure about the other, too similar to some of his other ones but good to work on.

 

The Dingwall is just absolutely bloody epic. I’m growing to love it more and more each time I play it. For the first time I’m really starting to explore creative potential of tone shaping on a bass. This Neve unit is so musical- boosting the low end a couple of notches when using the Bridge pickup on its own makes the thing really usable and even whacking the Bass up full is still musical! Bonkers but the other guys LOVED 100% bass!

 

It was hard telling them I’m stepping away when my evening classes start in late September but hopefully we’ll get a couple of gigs in by then.

 

 Getting home was a total nightmare. I was planning to get the overground back from Camden but signaling problem s meant I ended up walking all the way home from London Bridge which took an hour. Got in at 1am and had to do a 10k race this morning!!!!

 

very tired now
