After this morning vulfpeck sadness I moved on to something a little more simple with a riff heavier than a dead donkey and catchier than covid 19. A bit of Mastodon never disappoints and this song is a killer.

Nativity in black - Black Sabbath

Blackhole sun - Soundgarden

Is it a single colour logo?

Painted smiling face - Corrosion of Conformity

I agree. It's too clean and smooth. It could be robots playing.

These two pedals. The Two Notes Le Bass preamp and Origin Effects Cali76 compressor. The preamp is a two channel valve preamp with clean and dirty channels. The clean channel really is very clean, with a nice eq. The dirty channel sounds a bit thin but combining the two channels gives some monster tones. The compressor just does exactly what you want it to and high pass filter is really useful.

I tried listening to Vulfpeck again. Still don't get it.

Have you tried ditching him at a truck stop? It worked for Hawkwind and worked out best for everyone in the end.

Sugar - System Of A Down

I don't really like the NR Thunderbird but I think it looks a lot better without the pickguard. I think it makes it look less wrong.

I've just rebuilt my pedal board. It's much more minimal than before but much better sounding. My first couple years playing I bought loads of pedals and they all sounded terrible so I did a lot of research and ended up with these: Two Notes Le Bass dual channel valve preamp Origin Effects Cali 76B compressor Orange Fur Coat fuzz & octave up Boss TU3 tuner Harley Benton ISO 2 Pro power supply

I like the idea of Luminlay. How much would fitting cost? I don't trust myself to drill holes in my neck.

Snakes for the divine - High On Fire

Eyes of the South - Down Beaten to it by the honorable member above

I bought a pickguard from the US recently. Taxes were included in the purchase price. As far as I know it was just VAT. 2 weeks later it arrived and I didn't get any extra charges. The negative point was it came with some free chocolate which was bloody awful.

Real eyes realise real lies - Machine Head

I don't know how much he was exaggerating but Reef's sound tech told me their bassist ties new basses to the back of his land rover and drives down country lanes to relic his new basses.

Aren't most horses fairly mobile?

According to Monty Burns, radiation gives you a healthy glow.

The Americans swear by the Jack Daniels technique but the Highland Park method is definitely more effective. I guess its a better tone spirit.

If anyone is interested, the T Cut did an excellent job. It took a couple hours and four glasses of Highland Park.

I think the sentence he says most often is "he's a great guitarist, he played with us for a short time"

No mention of Fea so far? Or Thundercat? Surely they both count as pretty funky

A bit of Josh Hommes finest work this morning
