    Frankie Goes To Hollywood’s version of the Springsteen classic ‘born to run’ isn’t the worst, but it is pretty bad.

    That was an electrolytic capacitor, it certainly shouldn’t look like that!

    Thank you for your service. 😉

    This one from Zappa. Live version again I’m afraid.

    Update: bit the bullet and sent it off to be doctored by Gamer Tech in York. It's not back yet but the communications regarding its progress have been clear.

    Also, check whether it’s rear-ported or a condenser model.

    Big balls -AC/DC

    Check out Ned's Atomic Dustbin for lead bass stuff - they had two bassists, one for t'low end and one for t'dusty end.

    I’m doing Queen songs at the moment too, but more 70’s ‘flat key’ stuff (somebody to live, bo’ rap, don’t stop me now) just to learn how to read again after the ‘brain drain’ of long covid.

    Red white and blue ball ends are a Rotosound thing, I think they're the roto nickels.

    t strictly DISCO but I'm not one to pass up the opportunity to post something from the canon of Frank Zappa. I didn't post the album version 'cos it's just a bit sterile compared to this great live version.

    Awesome album!

    Ahh the 90's....

    Then of course there's this classic...

    I've always considered this very heavily influenced by Disco... https://youtu.be/Ijk4j-r7qPA

    Seriously I do something very similar with my drive units and I've found the DOD 250 to be really great at thickening stuff up. It's a really common design and very similar to the MXR distortion plus (as well as many others), so there's bound to be cheaper clones of it around.

    Y'know, the Digitech Bad Monkey is suddenly on everyone's radar... 😁

    Also The Cure, The Jam, and let's not forget that Rush unleashed the Moving Pictures (Tom Sawyer, YYZ, Red Barchetta etc etc...) in 1981.

    I’d hazard a guess at an inductor too.

    I like 500K pots in Jazzes cos they're a bit brighter due to the extra impedance.

    Stinkfoot - Zappa

    Glad you've got a result you're happy with. I prefer 500K logarithmic for volumes and Linear for tone.

    I used to, but found the tension was unbearable (I suffer from sporadic tendonitis in my fretting hand), so I found that I had to drop a dress size to get them playable, which felt wrong. I paid £15 for a set of Olympic flat wounds from Amazon and found they're a much better fit for my playing.

    Man in a box - Alice in Chains
