I’ve only ever had East pres in my Jazzes. Stunning sound.

OC2. Everything else is pretty much a revolving door.

Sadly not. ☹️

Or just set an EQ pedal to this:

I play finger style (mostly) in a mix of rock, metal, pop covers and (only sometimes), Jazz. I don't use a specific compressor as most of the time I play with overdrive on (pedal or amp), and that compresses the signal enough for me.

I like the ‘MXR’ style knobs on my builds; I’ve managed to get them in white, purple and green as well as the normal black finish from eBay. Wherever the build allows I likes a nice ‘chicken head’ knob too, but seldom have room for them without using bigger enclosures.

Why not play more than one note at s time? 10ths are a great way to do this and are free. Failing that, my money’s on the EQD Tentacles.

Rickenbacker. Sounded amazing through my old Ampeg but entirely unplayable.

Up in the sticks (out past Todmorden). No bars, not even 3G!!

Just that feeling when the band are ON. Those moments when you make eye contact with one another and your face breaks out in an unstoppable ‘sh#t-eating grin’ and the audience are singing along or dancing or both. Thar’s a great gig!

Yes, had a lot of physio last year and went back a couple of weeks ago as it’s still not right. Thanks for the sensible advice though 😉

Welcome from another ‘20 minutes from Manchester’ member.

Just discovered esr.co.uk from a link on the Fuzzdog website - seems really well stocked, and if their postage is as fast as Fuzzdog's then I might be onto a winner. In other news I got a Wah enclosure from the 'bay for a tenner this morning; dug out n old 500mH inductor that I had kicking around and will be embarking on treadle-pedalled shenanigans later this week...

OOh, a belt! what a good idea! Love the song too, thanks for posting.

I was involved in s car accident over a year ago and my left shoulder is still uncomfortable most of the time but especially after playing. What’s the best strap to avoid aggravating this condition when playing?

Someone in the NW could grab a bargain here - little Fender practice amp currently at 99p https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fm.ebay.co.uk%2Fitm%2FFender-Bass-Amp-BXR-Fifteen%2F332642798127%3Fhash%3Ditem4d730e4a2f%3Ag%3AAbMAAOSw7I5a73Aq&h=ATOD5CzweE_7wqUsHXS1oURiLn6tTzzrABdmz-cEpO0FFppT1heKfRI1SYl-Ut2WuOBGQGi3Bj6zOOKjEyaVWhqSo9qJt2jRQJ172dQ5Ve5LXtE7ZQOgdSc

Hi Ho Silver Lining. Anything by Kiss. This isn’t a definitive list; these were just the first two to float to the top when I stirred the pot.

I’ve found recently that I’ve started to mark my bridge pickup where I’ve been picking with the aluminium picks though...

25+ years with fingers but I’m starting to do some pick playing with my covers band; punk lines just sound better with a pick to me, and ultimately that’s what it’s all about. I’ve plumped for tekpick aluminium ones after auditioning numerous different kinds of plastic ones.

Enough to get me out of trouble! Got 3 bands on the go, and each do 2 x 45 minute sets plus encores. Not counted up how many songs I know, but there’s no overlap in material. Sometimes my brain hurts.
