Because this is BC and GAS is part of its raison d’être . Wilcock and Serek* shorties lay ahead . *It was seeing and hearing a Serek shortie that pulled me into the short scale rabbit hole.

The Ballad Of Danny Bailey (1909-1934) - Elton John

Plenty of folks here who started out on treble.

I use what is sometimes apparently referred to as the ‘Dr Pepper’ setting, where the release and attack are at 2 o’clock and 10 o’clock respectively. I have the ratio at 8:1, with threshold and output at about 2 o’clock (passive basses).

Red Rain - Peter Gabriel

Down in a Hole - Alice In Chains

Careful With That Axe, Eugene - Pink Floyd

I see what you’ve done there. Dear Prudence - Siouxsie & the Banshees

When working out the bass lines for various covers, I’ll often reach for the classical guitar as it sits next to the computer and is less faff than plugging the bass in, turning the amp on, etc and its tone just seems to work for this purpose, like a bass but an octave up.

Dear Diary - Moody Blues

Nice 👍. Anyone who can play the guitar at all should have a nylon strung one in the house. I finally bought one a couple of years ago, after decades of not owning one and it’s the guitar I pick up the most.

Dundee was my nearest store and I bought and traded gear there. My nearest instrument store is now GG Edinburgh AFAIK, which isn’t a lot further than Dundee for me. However, for those whose local store was Aberdeen, this is real kick in the nuts, not to mention the staff at all the branches. Hopefully, there will be some sort of buy out and reopening 🤞.

Strawberry Fields Forever - The Beatles

Cut The Cake - AWB

I had Live and Let Live, back in the day. I still think it rates as one of the best live albums captured on tape. Totally agree.
