Just bought a bass. still in.

Well… it’s nowt fancy as I absolutely do not believe in pedals 😂 But, needs must - a sonicake reverb for the track I play baritone on, and a chordy moment. Just added the Marshall Regenerator as it covers Chorus/Flanger/Phaser for 2 songs. If I was a richer man, I would’ve bought a more boutique set of pedals - but to be fair, the Nether is exactly right for that OC2 type noise, the ODB3 is used as a subtle drive for a couple of tunes - the Iron Man (by @LukeFRC) is brilliant - gets used for 3 songs… Synth type sounds are now available if I need them by combining drive/mod/oct… Works for me. The pedal PSU and Board were bought with an Amazon Voucher…all in all, not a big outlay.

We’re now talking about a band MacBook pro

Absolutely going to pretend I’m going to give it a go… but there’s zero chance I’ll be in by March 😂

My present off mum and dad and my in-laws arrived today…(well they gave me £30 apiece in my cards) Grover 142c tuners for my Red Casady. Just letting them warm up before I get a screwdriver in my hand…

Need a flanger, phaser or Chorus for a song - can’t make my mind up. Will see what works.

@dub_junkiethats my all time favourite Stingray. adore it.

I think I have my answer…after much more digging. ”no” - 2 at a time is the consensus 😣 ahem. ok.

Before I start down a path of despair - googling really isn’t giving much of a definitive answer… I use an iPad and GarageBand for my demos. We use a zoom h4n to capture rehearsals, which is fab for that “capturing”. But we recently did a fairly ok band recording track by track which was alright but I did start wondering… in a box at the rehearsal room is a Behringer Uphoria 1820 interface…sat “spare” a) anyone got a quick “yeah I’ve done it” for multitracking simultaneously with GarageBand b) does anyone know if I can hook the umc1820 into an iPad (it has its own psu rather than bus powered) - I think I’d need a USB B to USB C cable to get it into the iPad. or am I just totally off the mark and need to give up… Would be nice to do some live recordings where we can mess with levels after - even just for rough demos so we can add/edit before heading into the real studio Cheers Andy x

Yeah, a previous band was called The602 as we rehearsed next to the M602 (Liverpool to Manchester) Not a huge fan of current band name, but it was in place before i joined… I think the shoe has to fit… “Slain Lambs Carcass” isn’t going to cut it if you’re a Latin Funk outfit etc

Really enjoyed these. @Leonard Smallsentry made me chuckle. Wish I’d had my gear…I planned a cover of the Terminator main theme 😂

My specialty 😏

Im Biased… As others mentioned though, the neck (while not massive…) isn’t skinny. Guild Starfire 2, they’re meant to have skinny necks - look ace in emerald green too…

Not yet. Got a really busy 2025 house wise so I might have to hang fire… I do really want one.

In my head, it’d be horrifically difficult. Jokes aside, in reality, I suppose it would be… I do a lot of the writing, I play Bass, Baritone and acoustic…I do a lot of the social media stuff. I dunno, their direction/sound would change a fair bit.

I’m not going to get anything done… I’ve left my interface at the band room… have a great Christmas xxx

well…as predicted, massively rushed… But we had fun

We’re doing drums and vocals, and a video at 10am today… we have 3 hours as the drummer is going on a Christmas Holiday and it’s my mums 66th birthday today 🤣 Probably should’ve had this done by now. ah well.

My ripper came with a hipshot. I put the original back on after about a day. Just looked wrong.

Ordered the Grover tuners today. Then it’s done. opened an envelope from my in laws today which had £50 in it, Thomann have the 142c’s in for £61 so just got them paid for

Babicz arrived and was fitted. Lovely these bridges.
