Total Watts

  1. It was a very different kind of festival and audience for us, and odd to perform in daylight. Only the second time we ever did that, and so the atmosphere and energy was strange (but good). From this perspective the experience was fantastic, and the organisation top notch. Wildly impressed by that festival, to be sure.
  2. Ha! Yes, I always travel far to work. No cutting shapes with Hollywood darlings in the Hebrides! I’m in Lewis, so I don’t know your friend. I’m sure everyone in Harris does though … if he’s driving the bus.
  3. In that band … a vocalist, yes, but neither the band leader nor writer.
  4. Had a shower, smoked some weed, went to the afterparty, drank mead, cut shapes with some Hollywood darlings you know, drank more mead, smoked more weed, watched the sun rise from arid hills into the pink-blue hue of an LA morning (the strangest light).
  5. These are high-performing strobe tuners, with comparable specs to the tuner of the moment. It has a superlative display, and switchable buffer too. This is the best pedal tuner anyone is going to get for £50.
  6. Just had a super easy transaction with Dunc. Everything awesome ⚡️
  7. Had the most perfectly straightforward deal with Clarky. All good and easy ⚡️
  8. Top tip … Make sure your CD is the cheapest thing on the stall
  9. Withdrawn Death By Audio Fuzz War Thick, gnarly, harmonically rich fuzz, based on the Tall Font Green Russian/ Civil War Muff circuit … So plenty richness with that mix-friendly mid character that makes this particular branch of the Muff tree so bass happy. This one is indeed bass happy. There’s something more to this pedal though. The secret sauce is in the tone sweep, which alters the mid character as the low/high balance shifts. As DBA put it … “A specially designed multi-curve shaping filter which changes the timbre of the pedal from super deep bass sludge to screaming highs”. This makes for something more versatile than your average 3-knob Muff, and not a muddy one trick pony, to be sure. It’s killler. There’s a ton of love for it out there anyway. Check the reviews.

  10. Sold Tech 21 Para Driver DI If you like that SansAmp Bass Driver vibe, but you want enhanced mid control … then this is the kit. Use it as an end-of-chain driver/ EQ/ DI … or up-front/ in line as a versatile feature-rich OD … or EQ-primed clean boost. It has a dry blend, and parallel out too, so the potential uses and options are varied and many. The parametric mid controls are the bomb. The added scope this gives to a SansAmp is wild … literally the way to craft yourself into any mix, or any room, with a ton of tone to play with. I actually have another of these still on my board (yes, I experimented with two). So, I still very much swear by this pedal. Anyway … Product Info: https://www.tech21nyc.com/products/sansamp/paradriver-di/ Royal Mail ‘Signed For’ postage is included in price (UK only).

  11. I have a bass that I hate, sure. Why? … Because it’s a Rickenbacker. I’ve always hated Rickenbackers. Which makes it so unlikely and funny that I own one now … A 1976 4001 so, ironically, it’s valuable enough to pay for the bass of my dreams. However … it’s a family heirloom that I would never sell. This was my uncle’s bass that he played prolifically since ‘77, til only last year when he passed away. It was me who inherited the bass from him. First-World problems ‘n’ that, sure … but it looks like I’m stuck with this thing. Albeit in the most drole and light hearted way, it’s a daily challenge to me, such is both my historical prejudice and realtime frustration. That said… having had it a couple of months now, and having played it a lot (despite how confrontational it is to my tastes). I’ll admit to finding a trace of affection for it by now. This is laced with an equal trace of guilt and shame however. It doesn’t quite leave me feeling dirty. Just a bit perplexed. I’ll persevere though. I’ll make it my task to love this bass, one way or another. It’s a funny old life.
  12. I concur! Thank you so much for your suggestions everyone. I could talk all day about Warwicks or Matsumoku Arias … But I’m but a babe in the woods when it comes to Rickenbackers, so this is all very appreciated 🙏🏻
