All Activity

I’ve been going through quite a bit of Marlon Asher lately, can’t say I like it all but he’s got some really good tracks, here’s a few I saved .

Ah the endless joys of the mystery rattle! As @NickD said, could be one of many things. My bass develops weird rattles all the time and rarely can I pinpoint where they come from. They always seem to resolve themselves. It does help to have someone else listen to the bass and see if they can find it whilst you’re playing, because guaranteed you’ll never get your ear next to wherever the problem is…

We’re all winners! And you both get a sticker!

Two cups of tea - Star F***ing Hipsters

Not necessarily, it could be many things. I developed one when I played an A, but nothing else, and it turned out to be the endpin. Tuners are quite common too. I'd play it and do a top to bottom check to try and isolate where it's coming from. I found this useful, plus there's a video up by Jason Heath that covers some other things.

You all have it all wrong. THIS is how a jam night should be…

Everything Stops For Tea - Jack Buchanan

Well I’m now rolling my own.

No you win

I know it's been a while since there was an update on this but i was in Martin's shop today dropping a Trace Head off for a service and asked about the 100w head. Martin has been moving to a new premises recently and is in the process of getting it properly set up, he said that once he was settled in then he'll be getting back on the 100W project as he wants to get it finished and into our sweaty paws. from the number of amps that i saw in for service today i'm guessing he has been fairly busy with the day to day repair work (on previous occasions i've had to wait a week or two before dropping amps off for service as there has been a backlog.)

We have a gig tomorrow for the very first time in the town where I actually live!

No sir! It’s positively spiritually uplifting, is what it is! (not to mention the fabulous JMJ on Guild Starfire)

Support act, Rick Backer.

That vocal ain't sampled 👍

… who says there’s no fun in music anymore?!

Storm in a Teacup - The Fortunes

Nerr nerr ne nerr nerrr!

After we lost an upcoming gig a few weeks ago, I was panicing a bit. The one band has secured three plus a few promises/backup lists and I got a gig for the other band tomorrow. Now just hope the mass of messages (about 40) I sent out doesn't bring a tidal wave of offers!

Just put a new clip connector and maybe some Deoxit in the pots: Your bass will be ready for the next 15 years. 😉
