    Hi all I have one of the little Tender Octavers, supposedly (according to internet rumour anyway) withdrawn due to slightly too close similarities to the EHX Micro Pog. I like it 😀 Just stumbled across this new wee beasty - looks like fun. https://m.thomann.de/gb/mooer_tender_octaver_pro.htm?gclid=CJza3Jz099QCFaIW0wodeOEDGg https://youtu.be/RUifx_nw34c

    Maybe try a bit of dirt if you don't already use it? In my two guitar rock band, I have some drive/distortion (there's plenty already from the guitars) - but use a lot more in my one guitar pop/rocky band. I much prefer playing with just one guitarist now I'm used to it.

    Nice one!

    Cheers all - gotta love a curve ball. In my other band ( more old school rock) we do a version of Mama Mia which goes really well. Spent ages on a reworking of Get Lucky, dropped it, heavied it, put Ina couple of really tasteful harmony guitar passages - died on it's arse 😂

    I have a colleague called Chris Peacock ( he's fine with Crispy btw 😀), once opened a bank account for Dr Hu , and still remember the story about a local wag who changed his name to Mr Ha Ha Woof Woof. This just prior to a court case, brought by the local council and who he claimed were laughing at him and treating him like a dog.

    Hi all Just putting the finishing touches on a rocky, poppy, Indy set for a new band. We've got some good stuff lined up already and mostly pretty modern too. I like a 'curve ball ' cover, but they often can die a bit - anyone done, seen or heard something a bit 'out there' that works well? Cheers Jason

    Yep - the cheap pedals bandwagon! I look at it as part of the fun, but don't really expect to ever get to a final destination. I've also been through four fancy (and very nice) chorus pedals, before deciding that a Boss was 'good enough' and selling the others. My attention has shifted from drives to filters and reverby things now - oh dear... Blue - Tech 21 VT Bass is damn good though, that might be worth a try.

    I've been through quite a few of the fancy drive pedals, but have sold them all on. Currently really liking the EHX Bass Soul Food and my Joyo Orange Juice (which is a filthy wee beast.)

    I know, everyone seems to rave about them. I paid £125 for it a while back (secondhand), so price seems fair to me.

    I bought my California (would be a TM5, old shape) when I sold the bike in my profile pic - I couldn't spend the money on anything sensible after all It's a great bass, and still surprises me even now - everyone that tries it comments on the neck. It just does everything that I need. I like my Yamaha BBs too, very much, but the Sandberg is still 'top dog.'

    "All of the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order." Not a name but a great strap line for a jazz band if you need reminding 2:30 on here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQNYUJIW4sw

    "All That" As in 'all that Jazz' and "he's thinks he's all that, he does" - bit like Take That too. "All Three Cylinders" "The £3 Notes"

    I have 4 ledj 7Q5s, two either side and they do the job fine. You can hang them on bars or they can be used as uplighters. Nice solid units, all metal construction. I'm no expert but did find a lot of units pre programmed patterns to be a bit 'school disco' - so I got my head around basic dmx and now have a Thomann foot controller and a few patterns. I mostly want/use fades and strong colours (but not all the colours all the time :-)) Worth it imho as then your lights do 'add something' rather than just flicker away randomly.

    Do you remember all those 'rock star' moves that Young Blue practiced with a tennis racket/baseball bat in front of the mirror, many years ago?? Well, drag a few out and do Young Blue proud

    Having played in a few bands with two lead guitarists - luckily none being the aforementioned "guitards" (joke wearing a bit thin imho) - I can tell you that what really winds them up is if you refer to the one who happens to be playing rhythm as playing 'spare guitar'. That really gets 'em

    Some great stories here all- sounds a laugh. Our drummer has an electric kit, so we're thinking all in the pa. No backline and easy to control volume as well as less space needed.

    Hi all Had my first ever silent practice with my new band last week. It was damn good! We noticed that we all tucked in easily to the guitarists conservatory and thought, if we stuck up the little pa maybe with a small sub (electric kit, no backline) we could do house parties! Anyone done this or promoted the option? I suspect it could be 'interesting' 😳

    I dabble in three bands currently :- Declined Transaction - this is made up of colleagues from work, Barclaycard, and we play pop punk . NightOwl - hard rock covers pub band (girl singers) and just named yesterday Hoaxx (much more contemporary covers) -the double XX to make searches easier! Declined Transaction came very quickly, the others took some time and lots of FBing and Googling. We take the view that if it fits and there isn't another band operating in our patch /or who are really well known with the same name then crack on - it's pub rock after all. Getting something unique is less important than getting something that fits and sounds good. Having gigged as Dumper, Red Raw & Sore and playing for a one and only time as Turbo Condom and the Fish Fingers I am much happier with the current names

    Cheers mate- I've also directed Chris (Smooth Hound) to the SBL contacts page so hopefully they'll connect.
  23. redbandit599
    Cheers - maybe I'm missing something but I can't see either of those on the website? I have found an email to someone dealing with media/promotions and a contact form which looks like it's for academy members.
  24. redbandit599
    Hi all I thought I'd ask as he mentioned he liked the look of the Smooth Hound wireless and Chris who runs Smooth Hound ( in his garden shed - top bloke) is trying to get hold of him. I'm in contact with Chris on FB so can connect if needed. Cheers J

    BTW I only ever needed two per pedal and it was very secure. Only drawback is that some of the screws in the pedals aren't quite long enough with the addition of the little plate/chain link
