    Getting pretty deep into those jazz chords...

    Because all the guitar making loonies are casting bodies in concrete or embedding litter and lego in epoxy resin to make boat anchors.

    I hear distant overtones of Pink Floyd's Seamus.

    Sounds like a ship in fog...

    The problem is the technical ability required to play it is rather obscured by it sounding like a near-random sequence of notes to the uninitiated.

    Sounds like an excellent fit with the material 😁

    TE Elf is very good and more versatile than the knob count suggests. Orange Terror is out of budget but still very portable and awesome sounfing if you like a gentle valve Overdrive that's easy to 'ride' with your technique

    Canterbury scene. Soft Machine - Facelift. Caravan - Golf Girl. Kevin Ayres - Stranger in Blue Suede Shoes. No so much a genre as people vaguely associated with Kent and psychedelia.

    Fender Perfomer 🙂 Aside from a jam night and a six-song 'weekend warrior' set, its first gig in 28 years - used to be my main axe ~1990-95!

    Very brief... first gig for Bendricks Rock. Incredible, best audience reception I've seen in a venue thst I've been going to slmost weekly for the ladt two years. The classic rock and indie rock mix went down really well with loafs of dancing. Yes loads of first gig flubs, but the audience either didn't notice or didn't care. Really buzzing. Photos to follow! P.s. one guitarist locked himself out of his car, so he's downstairs waiting on the rac 🤣

    Combination of apprehension and excitement ahead of the new band's debut on Saturday. It should be fine, but it seems the efforts to drum up an audience have generated a high level of enthusiasm, so I hope we can deliver!

    Thing is, anyone who has a jazz bass - it's identical to at least one of Geddy's, if not more...

    Only gigged my Fender Performer once (and a jam) since returning to the fold in 2018, it was my main bass in the 90s. Doesn't fit the blues band image, but gojng to use it for the heavy rock covers band'sdebut gig this weekend. With the Marquess 5 And yes, the Performer is a killer bass!

    Argh... my ocd wants the eq sliders to all be in the middle with the amp in 'waiting for something to do' mode!

    Ouch. Havevto be careful, I've seen too many episodes of Grant Bowler's Border Of Steel to know you can lose Australian residency permits for smugglng a skid mark in your billy y's.

    If it's an intermittent fault, and it sounds like it, it could be really hard to track down and could be in something you've already decided is fine. Two strategies - try and replicated the fault with minimal kit in the signal path, then add things until you get an issue. Second, the cable testers @dmccombe7 suggests usually have an ability to detect intermittent faults, even very brief ones, by lighting an LED if there's even a brief interruption to continuity.

    I'm 45-105 on all scale lengths. Except my Performer (34") which I use 40-95 on.
