  1. Rush at Sheffield on the Roll The Bones tour. Not sure if it was the first ‘big gig’ I’d been to, but that one stands out as being too loud.
  2. I got a Motörhead compilation that looks like this having heard Metallica’s ham-fisted cover versions of 4 classic ‘head tracks. I was not disappointed.
  3. I had one of these in the early 2000s - great bass. These are really playable, not too heavy and active eq to boot. Ultimately the string spacing was a little too tight for my ‘agricultural’ right hand technique.
  4. This bad boy: It’s got this beautiful booklet that strips away the layers of the figure on the front, so I took a punt on it. It also contained some of the best music I’d heard for a good long while.
  5. Bumperoo, will trade for a cheap looper pedal.
  6. That's different to my transcription - I got is as... Dyers Eve.pdf
  7. Johnny Kick a Hole in the Sky - Red Hot Chili Peppers
  8. Mmmmm, ripple.
  9. This charming man - the smiffs

    As long as it’s filtered I can’t see much difference; typically drive and boost circuits don’t drain much juice.
  11. EWS bass mid control is an amazing pedal; tiny footprint but incredibly flexible: I’d take one over an eq pedal any day.

    Veroboard; there’s only a couple of millimetres between the perfboard and veroboard layouts I had. might build another that’s tuned slightly higher in the bass and lower in the treble to suit a P bass...
  14. As a counterpoint to all of this tomfoolery I forward this brooding ballad from messers Mulligan and O’Hare...

    Just finished a’classic’ 2 band Stingray eq preamp. Now then, as 2 of my basses have had a MM pickup fitted, do Instick it in a pedal or get the router out...?
  16. In a paper bag, on your doorstep.
  17. I’ll just leave this here... https://youtu.be/jHPOzQzk9Qo
  18. MojoJojo would be a good place to start then.
  19. Do you have a particular sound in mind?
  20. Devil Woman - Charles Mingus
  21. I’ve always had a soft spot for Alan Sherman; my dad used to play the LP when I was a nipper.
  22. Strong glue and lots of clamps. Clamps everywhere, you can never have too many!! seriously though, glue and clamp should be fine, unless you just want to scrape the crack out and use wood filler, but I’d glue and clamp.
