  1. Time Bomb - Rancid
  2. WAAAAYYYY ahead of you there!
  3. Oc2 ->coloursound bass fuzz -> Lovetone meatball -> Butler tube drive -> EHX Small clone and Small stone. That’s pretty much my current ‘meat and potatoes’ layout., but currently it’s got a couple of other bits thrown in just for fun. Being able to build effects pedals has its advantages!
  4. Room a thousand years wide - Soundgarden
  5. Based on those numbers, yes. 😄
  6. Better by you, better than me - Judas Priest
  7. Prince was a musical genius. It’s a term that gets thrown around a lot, especially when someone dies, but Prince definitely was.
  8. Bring down the birds - herbie Hancock chameleon - herbie Hancock are two that I’d consider essential.
  9. It sucks when you have a frustrating night like that, I hope you get a better experience next time around.
  10. Pretty good. Played at an open mic/Jam night as part of the house band. Busked my way through a good few songs that I've not played before, but with musicians that I knew, so it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Didn't take an amp, so was reliant on the house PA; I reckon next time I'll take a feed from the mixer into a set of IEMs.

    DIY Effects

    It's not as bad as you think - get the right solder (rosin core) and a clean iron set to the right temperature and once you've got one done the ret should follow suit.
  12. I thought I didn’t care what my instruments look like until I realise my main two are almost identical, so I think I have a type. Condition is less important to me than how it plays and feels. All of my kit is old and battered but I know it quite literally inside out and know exactly how it will respond to my sausage fingers, so it has that going for it.
  13. Low Life in High Places - Thünder
  14. Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush
  15. Nice tidy example of a great machine. The RAM is indeed updatable and doesn't require any specialist tools or indeed any experience, just a small enough screwdriver to get the base plate off. This model will take 16GB, but the BIG improvement to these machines is installing a solid state dive, which you've already done. I have an identical machine on my lap right now!
  16. Back in the 90s I played with some bands that were almost exclusively keyboard and drums - 5 string basses made it MUCH easier to play in 'flat keys' that they favoured.
  17. Isn’t there a triumvirate pedal that has 3 frequency bands of distortion, or was it a dream I had?
  18. The idiot bastard son - Zappa
  19. Looking for the whales - AHA!!
  20. Maybe on a reading gig...
  21. I’ve got something very similar on my board, it’s great for accessing multiple pedals in one click!
  22. Third Eye is a reference to the pineal gland in the brain. Apparently it’s a vestigial thing in your heed.
  23. That makes more sense to tune at the 3rd fret, means that the open strings are slightly flat, but looks like it's a trade-off. I mainly play fretless bass anyway, so maybe a fretless is the way to go.
