The Wasp. The Doors

In a studio environment, the compressor is the least understood and misused of all the studio outboard gear. Took me a few years to be fully ofay with it (on all instruments /vocals that is, not just bass). Even professionals get it wrong. I hate watching live music on tv and hearing the compressor pumping away because the attack /release times have been set wrong. I was taught "think of it as bringing up the quiet bits rather than turning down the loud bits". I've used dozens of different types (Neave, dbx, fairchild, Urei, teletronix) and they all have their different characteristics.

Quiet Life. Mick Karn and a few others

Fashion a small 'quiver' to attach to your strap, and throw them at the guitar player while they're not looking.

Puppet on a string. Sandy Shaw

White lines. Grandmaster Flash

Saturday night's alright for fighting. Sir Reg

Carpenter. Vagabond

That's classic 😍

Beat the Clock. Sparks

Shot by both sides. Magazine

I was 18 when Too Shy came out. In tribute to Nick I had someone put beads in my hair. It was not a look I carried off well! I'm still embarrassed by it to this day.

My ding-a-ling. Chucky B

Flash. Queen

Inch Worm. Danny Kay

Up town top ranking. Athena and Donna

Fog on the Tyne. Gazza

Yes, i have a set of black ones on another bitsa, but these are genuine fenders so kinda wanted to keep them on. But you're right, the black ones would look good.

Took a standard Squier CV 70s bass, changed the scratch plate to plain black (ie no white middle), changed the control plate to black with black screws all round. Added a black bridge, black strap locks and changed the pickups to Augilia. Finally changed the knobs to more modern ones. I've also taken off the gloss finish on the body, plus I sanded back the neck and oiled with burnt linseed oil.

Night Clubbing. Mrs Graaaaaaaacce Jones

"almost exactly 50/50“ 46% to 54%. Is he Donald Trump in disguise? For what its worth I've always heard it as a mistake. But 🤷

Just bought Simons Delux Jazz. Everything written above is very true. Great to deal with hassle free. Nice to have a chat and meet a fellow BCer. 10/10

Roadkill. The 1975

Thanks for pointing that out. I'd not noticed that. It does help reduce the bass level a bit. A basic graph eq would come in real handy when playing along with tracks.

And at least enough to declare to the tax man
