Hah! Love me some Wrath! I've mentioned them before, coincidentally in another Guild B-301 thread.

I had a 301. Sounded great and looked great, just the neck for me was too thick, and could never get the hang of setting up the bridge. Mark Angel used 301 with Wrathchild (UK).

Angry Anderson - Suddenly

This is true, I was at one of them 🤣

☹️help! According to the input levels and output levels in Garageband, a signal is getting in, but there is no sound. At all. The Zoom is connected directly to my monitors, I've turned up the volume and changed the leads, still nothing, then I saw the message on the attached. I've reloaded the Zoom drivers still nothing. Has anyone any ideas what else I can try? Thanks.

Gay Dad I don't think any of them were actually Fathers.

J Geils Band - Centrefold John Cage - 4′33″ The Scorpions - Wind of Change

Saxon Saxon - meh Wheels of Steel - classic metal

FM Indiscreet - meh Tough it Out - sublime AOR.

yes, but one camp is wrong

Ah, using a phone isn't always the best way to navigate this site.

i seem to remember something about "pictures of my 2 new Spector purchases, soon" ?

Animal.

To give the OP a serious reply: I still love me a bit of shred. I can't play as fast as I used to be able to, although if I practised nothing but shred for 2 hours a day for the next 3 months I would probably get up to speed (see what I did there ) but at my time of life I'm not prepared to do that. The point is, I could shred faster than than the tempo of 'Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick', yet I found HMWYRS far more challenging to learn. So IMO it's not about the bpm's it's what you can do with them.

As others have said 'it depends'. At it's simplest and still suitable for any gig I've done or am likely to do: fingers ---> Strings (30's - usually Rotosound) ---> Bass (custom Shuker) ---> wireless (Getaria Airbridge) or OBBM cable ---> Peavey Vypyr VIP3.

Fixed 😉

not half!

what gets missed from this interview is shortly afterwards when he says "I like it because it's fun". Fair enough IMO. I don't want to do it - albeit play bass - if it's not fun.

The band have split, in that they will no longer be working together (at least not as Daft Punk (for now)) but there will be reissues and more compilations, so it's not stopping.

I used to have a 350w Trace Elliott combo. It was loud enough for any gig, and I mean any gig 😎

Daft Punk - not a punk band..

I cannot recommend my Flattley Bass Poison Ivy enough. There are some deals to be on their Silver Series pedals through their Reverb shop: https://reverb.com/marketplace?make=flattley-guitar-pedals Hand made boutique pedals made in England, and they are still small enough that you can phone them up and have a chat

How do jazzers make it work, despite never selling enough to feature in the hit parade, and playing the small gigs that they do? There are some names in the Notable Deaths thread, who I have never heard of, but they seem to have been consistently working as a musicians without having to get a second job.
