Ordered a copy of Throbbing Gristle’s Part Two The Endless Not / TG Now on vinyl the other day, it arrived today. listening to it now, with a glass of Shiraz.

Sounds perfect on my iPhone too.

Sounded fine to me.

Well that showed me that I'm not much of a fan of the sound of really expensive basses, although the Alembic was nice.

I've got one of the orange and grey tees. But when I wear it, it looks like is says "asschat" 😂

I went to see The Wonder Stuff last night. I’ve seen them over 60 times and they’ve never put in a bad gig. new line up too and the bassist had a rather nice Zon. I was a little sceptical it would work in the Stuffies, but it certainly did!

Positively musical. you wanna shove on some Merzbow. But make sure you have maximum volume for maximum impact:

The valves in my little Guyatone guitar combo glow nicely:

Yeah, it's definitely sharp looking. I can see why you'd be pleased.

That's pretty bloody lovely. Personally I'd have gone with just black pickups, for the full stealth look, but that's just me... and it's not my bass 😁

I can't stand RHCP since Mother's Milk. They became just really dull. But Frusciante's solo projects are way more interesting. The 6 records in 6 months releases are all fantastic.

Listening to songs that I don't listen to very much, but remind me of a much nicer time...

This too:

Not so much protest songs, more social commentary but a lot of The Levellers - Levelling the Land is still relevant

Ooh! Gun metal! do it gun metal. But a dark version

Noooooo leave it black!

Oh yes. I'd forgotten that step. I feed out to a breadboard, to swap caps about. Once I've decided on values I solder them in to the pcb/switch. means there's no unnecessary sockets in the pedal.

If you're building from scratch/kit and making your own enclosure, then you can always add switches for various things. I built a distortion years ago and changed the input cap, to make it more bass friendly, but it didn't sound quite right with a guitar. So fitted a toggle switch for the cap.

I was driving into work this morning listening to Dream Evil. One of the first gigs I went to was Dio, with Warlock supporting, on the Dream Evil tour.

You have tried reseating the neck?

As I posted, on Facebook, a photo of a couple of Watership Down related badges. A mate suggested listening to Fall of Efrafa. So I am...

I spend hours buggering around with configurators.

Have you set the midi channel on the track in Logic to the same as the one the TD12 is outputting on?

But Belgian beer is so much better than French...

I remember seeing the Rollins Band, many years back, and one guy kept getting on the stage. Obviously he'd wait for Hank to be over the other side before doing it, then leap off as Hank moved towards him. The guy then got his timing wrong and Rollins caught him in mid air and pulled him back on the the stage. For the rest of the song Rollins held the guy, one handed, behind him. The song lasted about 8 minutes. At the end of the song Rollins just stared right in to the guy's eyes and without saying a word threw him off stage.
