Yes, a multimeter across the lead (red to tip, black to sleeve) will give you the output in millivolts as you play, but will fluctuate wildly with playing dynamics - the harder you hit, the greater the reading. you could also put your multimeter across the hot and ground connections on your pickup(s) too - this time measure the dc resistance of the pickup. Generally a jazz bass pickup will be anywhere from 6.5 to 8 ohms, but I’ve seen some up at 11. There’s more to it than this, but it’s a good indicator that a pickup is either ‘hot’ or not.

I’ve just finished a ROG Ginger - great little pedal!

Dead trees and traffic islands - Manic Street Preachers

Glory box - Portishead

Lyrically and instrumentally, the Smiths were awesome, Morrissey singing slightly sharp all of the time took me some time to get over.

Jon very kindly sent me some copper tape to do my bitsa P bass with - very kind gesture from one BCer to another.

Stew bought my (now his, obviously) Beheinger Hellbabe wah pedal. Dead easy, painless transaction. Full marks all round!

Lyin’ eyes.-Eagles. Sorry.

Always.

I had the HB one and sent it back; it was really noisy. I had the Vox bass amplug and moved it on as I didn’t like the sound, now I use the Clean amplug and it’s great.

Preamp/line out of the AH600 to the line input of the VR400.

If you want more options ‘in the box’ then you’ve got the option to use GarageBand - much more flexible than audacity, and has built-in drum machines and drum loops etc... should save you money on buying a separate rhythm unit.

Sending positive vibes and good wishes to your drummist chum - what an awful thing to happen.

Jake the Peg - Rolf Harris 😮

Primus with the Funghi Ensemble at Manchester Apollo supporting the ‘Willy Wonka’ album. 1st set was just Primus, 2nd set was the entire ‘Wonka’ album and these were both very good. The 3rd set/encore was more Primus material with added cello and pitched percussion, and it just kicked off! A massive improvement on their previous ‘Green Naugahyde’ tour, which was a bit lacklustre.

The Eton rifles - the Jam

Nothing wrong with an EHX Small Clone in my book, if it’s good enough for Kurt Cobain...

I’m broken - Pantera
