    All of the guitars featured on GetTrumpGuitars.com were custom designed and developed by a Veteran owned company with the help of a master luthier. These guitars have been manufactured by multiple providers and include parts/features that are both domestic and international. This is standard with most guitar manufacturers.

    I need to shut about about gigs I've been to, but last night the singist of my band Bendricks Rock asked if I was going to the Park to see the Flares. We were heading to the club in Penarth but changed plans (ironically a 25 minute drive to the pub a minute's walk from my house). But my point? This was the audience, ot about a quarter of it...

    I'm greatly tempted by the CV bass vi.

    Well last night we had Nearly Steely play at the club and it was totally rammed. It was a decent attendance 45 minutes befor the start, normally it starts filling with 5-10 minutes to go. We expected to lose people to the Six Nations but that didn't happen. Indeed by half time the lounge where the match was on was virtually empty. I wonder why... Our usual band night is Saturday so this was a big bonus for the club, things are so tight these days but we are doing our best - seven live band nights in February, one with fourboriginals bands) plus four open mics and a jam night. It's interesting and a bit demoralising to be on both sides of the local live music challenge. And frustrating to know things the club could do better...

    My first bash, and the last one before Covid.

    I thought I had none in January, but had missed one, then two more pop up at short notice, one quiet (well it was 8pm on a Thursday...), two decent but not as busy as normal. Always hit and miss this time of year, although I didn't gig last Saturday, numbers at two local gigs were good. We've got a very good local Steely Dan tribute at the club tonight - fingers crossed, it is free admission. Tomorrow's band cancelled due to illness, but we got a stnad in (miffied I didn't act quick enough to get it!) I've got 14 or 15 gigs booked in over the rest of 2025, a bit clumped. Not particularly impressive given I played seven in six weeks from the start of november. Would like about 2 a month in an ideal world.

    Started gassing for a Squier Bass VI.

    I've foolishly accepted the challenge of Muse's Hysteria. The difficulty of the various parts is exaggerated, the tricky bit is remembering when to switch between them and doing so smoothly...

    Go no further, see if it can loosen rightoff and see what happens. I had this gappen on a squier andcthe lwer anchor was pulling into the wood. There is a fortuitous hole at the end ofthe jnserf above the anchor (hidden in neck pocket). Saved me drilling... I loosed right off, flooded with cyanoacrylate and it's been fine for 5 years or so.

    I can't imagine needing more than 500W I never get anywhere near nax volume with my Bass Terror, I saw one used in the Manchester O2.

    It's when I get links to pdfs it falls over. I can open saved files ok.

    I turned up at a couple of open mikes with an electro acoustic bass and ended up playing to a few songs I know and several I don't. I was amazed how many people hadn't seen one before and how excited they got about it.

    Apparently 60 is the time you ho through a second phase of rapid ageing (the other is early 30s). I feel that's happened to me.

    Maybe, the Orange and Joyo are the only two valve pre equipped amps I have extended experience of.

    Foxbook served me up with a post about dog-rugs. That is beautifully hand crafted rugs in the realustic shape of dogs. Unfortunately almost everyone who commented, including me, could only see roadkill...

    Just in case anyone knows how to do it... this is the absurd list of what my Samsung Galaxy offers to open pdf files... I have Acrobat installed. I can't find any way of assigning apps to file types under 'default apps' as you would on a pc.

    That's what's great about the Bass Terror, it varies a bit from bass to bass, but somewhere around 2 o'clock on the gain you'll find a sweet spot where you can play loud and pretty clean, then dig in for real dirt without the volume going up too much. Very controllable.

    Thought I'd posted this from last Thursday, but it seems not...

    I got four similar ones. Far too noisy in my Sire.
