And the winner is............

@neepheid at the Bash

Ooh. I hope so.

Thank you that was wonderful. Really enjoyed it

We've had a monthly gig for a while now. Last Sunday of the month at a nice venue. Only problem is no one ever turns up. We play to the bar staff and a couple of regulars. It's been a depressing experience for all involved and we've been waiting for the axe to fall. Finally it fell.

Cancelled.

Typical. Just as I stop buying basses.

What does it look like?

What is it, what does it do?

I approach these situations as if I'm auditioning them. Which when you think about it is true. You wouldn't join a crap band would you? The resultant aura of supreme confidence tends to make them desperate for you to join.

One of the drummers with whom I often work, is not just a great musician but also has a great ear. He and I share a liking for similar sounds. So when I hit 'that' sound, the one I really love, and I glance over and he's clearly hearing it too, I take notice. These moments always seem to happen when I use a 1x15 cab and a big old style head. The last time this happened I had bypassed the complexities of the preamp and used a simple preamp pedal instead. The Joyo series is my favourite for this. American Sound, Californian Sound, Oxford Sound - they're all great. I was pondering why this should be. The conclusion was that the bottom end is less big and booming - these are after all g****r pedals - and the mids seem tighter, more pronounced. All of which is to say the sound sits better in the mix. None of the above applies in my reggae band mind.
