I had similar problems to you with mine and my setup I think. A friend of mine suggested I hoover out the jack sockets and the power input socket to get rid of any excess dust, which I then did on all my pedals. I haven't had any problems since! I daisy chain it with 7 other pedals from my diago power supply. Worked for me. Worth a shot at least?

Bruce bought my Ashdown Hyperdrive. The whole transaction was nice and quick, and he seems like a top chap. Thoroughly recommended. Cheers Bruce!

I bought a fuzz pedal from Alan. Very straightforward and easy transaction, and a nice chap! Deal with confidence.

I bought Chris' VT Deluxe. Quick and easy transaction, couldn't recommend more. Thanks Chris!

I met Jimmy today to buy his Gibson Ripper. Great communication before we met, and the bass was all as described. Couldn't ask for a smoother transaction, and a thoroughly nice chap too. Deal with confidence. Cheers!

When I come to bits I can't do together, I sit down and figure out exactly how the bassline and vocal line intertwine within each beat of the bar, much like playing the melody and bass on a piano I guess. Put the metronome on really slow, and work your way up to speed. Don't be afraid to start it craaaazy slow, I often have to. I agree with Bass Bunny too. There's a great tip I saw of Yolanda's, where she's playing a syncopated bassline, and just counting the beat out loud over the top, first in crotchets, then quavers. Might sound easy, but it can get pretty difficult. Also try playing the same bassline, and having a regular conversation with someone at the same time without losing the groove. All this stuff helps me!

Hey, Our band have been rehearsing at this place called Powerhouse in Weybridge area for the past few months, and so far we've no complaints. Check out their site: http://www.powerhouse-studios.co.uk It's nicely kitted out, and run by a nice chap with a nice dog. Hope this helps!
