Any tips on settings to try for a time poor Bass player would be gratefully recieved. Not looking for any specific, sound just want to see what it can do.

Mine has arrived. I will have a play tomorrow. (Although my feedback won't be that helpful as the only vaguely similar pedal I have used is a bassballs).

Since it’s my birthday this week. I’ve treated myself. Should arrive on Tuesday.

Hopefully it will turn up one day. I’m a big fan of your work. Still play the old 12inches every so often. Love the bass on ‘Never Lose That Feeling/Never Learn’. Saw you play at the Polytechnic of Wales. Great gig.

Check out the Sonic Cathedral label/promoter for new shoegaze acts and some of the original artists releasing new stuff. I’ve enjoyed listening Deary and BDRRM. I was a big shoegaze fan at the time as a teenager. Swervediver were definitely part of the scene. The bassist from Sweredriver has been on here trying to track down a stolen bass from back in the day.

Well, her long time bassist Amos Heller has worked with Darkglass to come up with this pretty cool sounding octave and drive pedal. https://www.darkglass.com/creation/kaamos/

Nice Cure sounds https://www.instagram.com/reel/DE5wMgMStbt/?igsh=NXB4NDZjbXR1ZHJ1 If I had the spare time to play with it, I would order one.

If you like supporting wildlife If you like Warren Ellis If you like Flea (You probably like Basses) you might fancy this raffle https://www.ellispark.org (there is no obvious direct link , so you will need to scroll down while the homepage still has the raffle prizes).

I tried a 32 scale Manton at the Birmingham guitar show earlier this year. It was lovely and was very tempted to buy the one I tried or getting one made. I ended up getting a mid 80s Stingray. But would love to get a 32 scale Manton bass if I ever get another chance to shell out on a bass.

I have the standard Fender ss bag. But this is an interesting option I’ve just stumbled across. Other patterns available. But this pick show a mustang bass. https://www.homeoftone.co.uk/products/mother-mary-company-soft-case-gig-bag-kokomo-pre-order?_pos=1&_psq=Gig+bag&_ss=e&_v=1.0

Can't think of anything better than 'Pre-millennium Groove', but I would definitely go and watch you if you played around Cardiff.

one down, two to go

This pedal is seriously challenging my three rules of pedal purchases. 1) Simple, 2) 2nd hand, 3)£100 max (used to be £50 max). I love the aftershock but I've never delved into the Neuro editor.

I enjoyed this bbc documentary about them https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001ln6p

Loved Little Simz on the Pyramid stage just now.

I had a Bruce Thomas Profile Bass, for a while and it was great. There are lots of positive comments about this model on this site. Pretty sure I saw one for sale around this budget in the classifieds recently.

What about some Jessie Ware? Free Yourself has almost 30 million streams on Spotify so should be pretty recognisable.

The Fender one works well enough for me.

Professor Brian Cox springs to mind.

1859 sold so far, I have no idea if that is a lot for a mass produced instrument at this price point, sounds like a lot over a few days of sales even if you expect a peak at the start and the end.

This one is pretty. https://guitarzilla.co.uk/products/yamaha-sbv-500-car-gz617

So far I’ve just turned everything all the way up and then roll off whatever I want less off. But I’m no expert.

That 80s band.

In the early nineties, as part of a trio, we hired a rehearsal room under some railway arches in Cardiff. We managed somehow to lock ourselves out and the guy running the place wasn’t around. So we asked the band in the other room for his number, (our drummer knew their drummer). The band were Catatonia. It was a year or two before they made it, although they had a bit of a local following already.
