That playing flats on a bass isn’t like playing with the devils winky. Give them a try they may surprise you

Great album

Mickey Mouse crab louse - Dillinger

About £80 from most stores

Possibly you need a good set up and your pickups adjusted. you can do this quite easily yourself with information from you tube without doing damage, just be careful if you get into the truss rod adjustments don’t force it.

If you’ve developed that soft ‘mwah’ fretless touch, you may need to fret a little harder, I love that growly buzz with flats but find it’s from fretting lighter than usual It could of course need a good fret dress 😄

Finally had a chance to explore a bit, I haven’t got it at the start of the chain so I switched it from reactive to buffered as advised with the internal switch. I set the red channel to a slight hint of overdrive for a slightly thicker sound, cream crossroads style and the brown to a good dose of gnarley breakup for that Muse hysteria taste. I haven’t had a chance to play with the caps but I’ve some on order and I’m looking forward to experimenting there. Alas no rehearsal this week as a member has been in contact with a covid case at work so is isolating. can’t wait to crank up the volume though.

LSD - Document One

My 63 P in lake placid blue, should have got one years ago.. no seriously they were much cheaper 😂🤣

Put a wanted ad for a pedal and Nick @Booga13 had one he wasn’t using that was a bit tired. He kindly sent it to me for appraisal before I paid a penny! Another good guy on the market place. cheers 🍻

Sold Andy a pedal and payment got to me before the pedal was boxed to post. cheers dude 🍻

I know a guy that ships boats from china in shipping containers. They just cut the containers apart to get the boats out so it must be a done thing.

Night train - James Brown

Robot riff - Reef

I was surprised too that they offered that but I’m not complaining. Was through Lloyds bank apparently it’s called “cover away from home”

My house insurance covers mine in and away from the house for the value I specified. Cost me £15 a year more for listing them and well worth it especially out of the house too.

I did read about the Vaseline thing and have sort of developed my own process. I use palmers coconut hand cream daily after work and have started using it just before I pick up the bass. I give the whole length of the strings a rub down with the palms of my hands. The new labella fl’s have started to thump a lot quicker than I thought they would I’m really enjoying playing them. I’d only used TI flats before and I still like them but there’s a certain something about the la bella 760fl I really am enjoying. Plus the bass smells fantastic when I take it from the case 🤣😂

Dead and bloated - Stone Temple Pilots

Since they stopped the travellers field I haven’t been, used to stay there for the weekend, usually a cheap wrist band to be had for the main event (I used to pop my head in and see what was happening) and trance/techno rigs 24/7 for the duration. Some wild lost weekends had with a bunch of friendly people.

Sad but true - Metallica

Your on the ampeg slippery slope 😄 you need one of these for your larger/outdoor gigs

Storm warning - Lyn Taitt & The Vomets
