Cr#p covers by artists who should have known better
Earbrass replied to Leonard Smalls's topic in General Discussion

Bands whose live albums trounce their studio efforts
Earbrass replied to Barking Spiders's topic in General Discussion
The Bruford / Wetton incarnation of King Crimson is one of my all time favourite rock bands - their live output (at the time USA, and more recently the "Great Deceiver" boxed set and "The Night Watch" retrospective releases) are far better than the studio albums imo. -
Selling on Reverb but not using Packlink?
Earbrass replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in General Discussion
Reverb has to receive payment from the buyer before they will notify you to send the item, if that helps. -

Yes, entering the tracking info triggers the payment process. -
Litmus playing at Kozfest, Axminster last month. (I am on keys and silly noises - not hugely audible for most of the vid)
-
If I were being petty, I would suggest that everyone should visit the site, then use the contact info supplied to demand to see, and then demand to delete all the data he's holding on them. That should slow him down a bit. Good job I'm not that petty.

Tomorrow (Fri 28th July) space-rock band Litmus will be playing at Kozfest in Axminster. 20.00-21.00.

Martin bought my Sire U5 bass. Lovely guy, and all went well. Deal with confidence.
-
Ouch! Those FZ-2's are going for silly money now. For context, the recording was made in the mid 70's, so far fewer options would have been available than are out there now.

I'd like to get the kind of creamy fuzz tone that can be heard at 5m.20s and following in this video - I was thinking maybe a Behringer sf300. Any thoughts?

Welcome from another local - not Brighton or Hove, but within about 5 miles, on the South Downs.

The night after the above Huginn & Muninn gig, I was playing keys and weird noises with space-rock band Litmus headlining Friday night at Tannerfest, in Loddington, near Kettering. A few photos have appeared, but I am invisible in all of them. The email I received with this photo said: "Richard is represented by a glowing green stripe" - which is actually part of my keyboard stand setup.

Here's a pic from a gig I did a couple of weeks ago with gonzo morris duo Huginn and Muninn. I was playing the nyckelharpa, while Jess played a shaman drum. It was an album launch party at an East London brewery for the band Raven Age, recently (currently??) on tour supporting Iron Maiden. Apparently one of the band members is Steve Harris's son. Hence the pic:

Wait for a few weeks before buying. If you still want it after that, there's a much better chance it'll turn out to be a good purchase. If your GAS has moved its focus elsewhere in the meantime, you'll have saved yourself some money.

If Daevid Allen hadn't been refused entry to the UK on returning from a gig with Soft Machine in France, we might never have had Gong.

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
Earbrass replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
Just a quick heads up that I've put my mint condition Sire U5 up for sale in the marketplace. -
I bought this from knackeredjazz of this parish back at the end of March. It is in mint condition, and comes complete with tags and the supplied allen keys. It was my first foray into short-scale basses, and while I like the scale I found after a while that I was not getting on with the neck, which is a tad thicker than I am used to. It can be strung through the body or through the bridge (use long scale strings for through-body stringing). It has rolled fretboard edges, and all the quality you'd expect from Sire. It is currently strung with a set of Fender flats. It has had only home use while in my possession, and I believe that knackeredjazz only used it for one recording session. I have kept it in a gigbag. Weight (using the traditional "stand on bathroom scales holding vs not holding the bass" method) is around 7.6lb. Collection or meet-up preferred (I am a few miles north of Brighton), but I have the original box for it, so could post at the buyer's expense and risk. I can also supply a gig bag for it (Thomann deluxe e-guitar bag), which is a perfect fit and was bought just for this bass, so nearly new - see pictures, for an extra £25. Thanks for looking.

Space-rock band Litmus will be headlining on the main stage at Tannerfest, Loddington (near Kettering) on Friday 7th July. Our set is scheduled for 9.30-11.00pm. https://www.facebook.com/tannerfest/

Not my usual thing, but I've been playing this one a lot lately
-
Same. One of my bands is playing a couple of outdoor festivals in July that are too far away to get home from after our set. I have booked a nearby Premier Inn for one, and a self-catering apartment a few miles away for the other.
