I'm notitcing some distortion in the lower notes on the E-String. However, the low-batttery light isn't lit. Has anyone else experienced anything similar and could they give me any tips? I've tried it on two different amps and it happens on both. I don't want to immediately assume that the unit is faulty.

An excellent tribute to Nick. Well done.

Yep, I noticed about ten years ago when buying my first class D amp, a Genz Benz, that when looking at spec, my eye started immediately dropping to the bottom of the list. What does this sucker weigh?

Yeah, watch any of that old footage of The Blockheads live, and NWR always had well red eyes.

Gladly. To be honest, it's as a just-in-case, if the Elvis in our Rock'n'Roll show insists on having it á la original. I'm risking a stress injury in my right hand as it is...

Sorry, I don't quite understand. Use more nail on a double bass? I do always practice slapping guitar players at any opportunity 😎

Oops, sorry. Thanks for pointing that out. 4.) ThatsAlrightMama copy.pdf

What? NOT Tony Hart?! Such a shame…

Don‘t DO that. These days, any thread titled with someone‘s name, I take to be an obituary 😅

Just saw this on Shadow's U.S. website. Do they have distribution in Europe or UK? https://shadowelectronics.com/collections/oem-products-and-parts/products/bridge-pickup-for-rockabilly-pro @Paddy Morris maybe try contacting them for info about a UK distributor. I tried the link from their website, but it went al 404Error on me, so...

As we get older, that becomes increasingly important. I always tell myself, "Every band has at least one pain in the *rse in it. If yours doesn't.... it's probably you."

Hello to upright players, I have a technique question about rockabilly slap. It's regarding bars 34-37 In the attatched pdf in the solo in That's Alright Mama. The solo section as a whole, I would play a slightly different line, but putting that aside, on the 5-chord E, if I try and play it on the D and G strings, I struggle to control sympathetic resonance of the open, un-played E string. So, do I: a.) somehow dampen the open E? b.) focus on my right hand technique when striking the D and G strings? c.) play the line higher up on the A and D stings? Your thoughts, please? Cheers, Paul

Graham is a top chap. Buy with confidence. I paid in the evening, the pedal (MXR Bass Envelope Filter) was sent in the morning and arrived the following day i.e. less than 48hrs between payment and receiving the goods in the condition as promised. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Exactly. I've waved the cash goodbye, but if I only manage to prevent this happening again, then it's worth it. And frankly, I'm small minded enough that I'd get a kick out of messing with the f*cker's day.
