  1. I don’t like anything round my wrist when I’m playing; I even roll shirt cuffs back if I’m playing a ‘suit do’.
  2. ‘A Show Of Hands’ by Rush is my preferred album for a lot of their keyboard-heavy 80s output, just adds a bit more life to the material. Superior to the sterile studio sound they had at that time.
  3. I’ve recently replaced the majority of my analogue effects with one of these; digital effects have come s LONG way in the last 20 years!
  4. Not specific companies, but get the fastest processor you can afford. Everything else that you need (SSD and oodles of RAM) can be upgraded later; you can’t ‘upgrade’ your processor at a later date. Also I’d check the IO ports on the left hand side, as older models will still support FireWire and newer ones won’t, look at which interface you’ll be using and plan accordingly.
  5. I’ve got Dunlop flats on my fretted bass and cobalts on my fretless. As a direct comparison I’d say the EB Cobalts are a touch brighter and lower tension than the Dunlops, almost identical to round wounds really.
  6. I can go from 25Hz to about 15kHz through a pair of Grado SR60s any normal listening volume. Not as bad as I thought it would be.
  7. My main strap is a 3" neoprene one for my dicky shoulder that I use for both basses and skinny guitar. I've got a couple of others lying around that I don't really use. Big, fat, stretchy straps are the way forward.
  8. 'Blood and Rockets' from the latest offering by the Claypool Lennon Delirium. The whole album is brilliant!
  9. Running a dual amp rig through one cab at the moment: Ampeg B410hlf internally split into a sealed 2x10 with horn and a ported 2x10 at the bottom. Ampeg SVP PRO goes to the ‘low’ 2x10 and the other channel is driven by my B3n (after being split on my pedal board using a Behringer He’ll babe wah) into the 2nd channel of the Laney PA amp. Achieving dual amping with much less lifting!!
  10. Loved it! New album with this on it out next week.
  11. Agreed; BSSM is the peak of Flea’s playing. I really enjoyed the album after that with Dave Navarro on guitar too. Downward spiral after that I’m afraid.

    I think I bought that for 99p, good synth too!
  13. Isn’t a guitar shop without prices just a museum?

    SVT IIP - nice!
  17. Poe’s law comes into play here. Every extreme statement needs to be explicitly qualified I’m afraid. 😢
  18. Yes, DT always come across as trying too hard to me; technicality doesn’t always equal musicality...
  19. well worth repairing IMHO. Not sure why transistors are labelled TR1 & TR2 instead of Q1 and Q2, as per standard electronics nomenclature, but still worth doing.
