  1. Open mikes and drop in to local music shops just like in the old days. Gobto gigs and talk to people especially the bands (when they are not busyn but you know that). Get known as a musician.
  2. I have a TGI unit for about £40 you get 18v, 12v, 1 amp 9v and several isolated lower amperage 9v outputs, and a wall wart and cables including a positive earth changer.
  3. Slightly off-topic, but this morning Facebook reminded me that five years ago I played Mandolin through an Ampeg SVT...
  4. We're off to see James "mad as a box of frogs" Oliver with Norman Watt Roy at the 100 Club tonight.
  5. I do wish my phone would let me open pdfs...
  6. Unless you play one of these...
  7. Take the win!
  8. It's best when used as intended... for dead simple three or four chord vamps.
  9. It's quite a surprise/revelation to find yourself doing this on a fretless.
  10. I teaches harmony, but it's usually pretty pedestrian on the rhythmic side.
  11. The round tops suit momentary switches being used as limit switches i.e. operated by something like a door or moving plate which may approach at a slight angle. This may be why the small, rounded style is associated with them.
  12. My understanding is that you use the same notation for the major key and its relative minor. Minor chords are denoted with an 'm' e.g. VIm would be Am in C.
  13. Is there a visible difference? My PA amp has 4-pole outputs but I can't see any obvious difference (maybe this just means my bass amps/cabs are 4-pole as you suggest).
  14. Run it around the bridge and the end of the neck. At the bridge round the corners, at the neck follow the profile if the edges of the body.
  15. Then YouTube offered me this. From the ridiculous to the sublime:
  16. Looking classy
  17. Me too. They failed whole generations who could have benefited from a bit of instruction and encouragement. The jokes on them as I never suffered being in a choir, and get to play being a rock star at weekends 😁
  18. The four pin ones are used for things like bi-amping. Haven't come across a bass cab or amp with a four pin speakon socket yet.
  19. It's pretty much redundant if you use a shielded cable for the loom. You also need to ensure the pot bodies are grounded.
  20. Does he realise that putting the tuners at crazy angles devalues the instruments?
  21. I always used roto 66 swing bass. Now I have Fender nickels on most of my basses. Not as bright but keep a vintage sound longer.
  22. Most useful? Putting on Planet Rock and trying to play along to as many songs as possible, by ear, for months. Least useful? A teacher I asked about improving my technique who wanted me to learn theory I pretty much knew already.
