Turned out to be busier than we expected. Helped a fair bit by a crowd of Blue Angels appearing to see us. Not sure if they were at the last gig we did in one of their club houses or were just on a night out but the owner said he's never seen them in there before. Maybe more gigs at their other club houses who knows. Feedback was fantastic and the cream of the crop comment was that a guy had 2 tickets for Belinda Carlisle in Edinburgh tonight but when he heard we were playing and covering Ramones songs he wanted to see us. Now that was nice of him. Those tickets cost him £34 each he said. Usual phone vids being taken. All in all i thoroughly enjoyed it. Dave I’d like to see Belinda Carlisle also 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 At soundchecks in recent years, I've taken to playing The Cure's Close To Me. Aside the fact that I think I play it well, it covers a lot of the lower register notes so it means I can tweak my amp to suit the room. I can play more complex stuff but I'd rather get the most out of the sound, than show them what I can do. Equally on stage, I don't feel the need to show off. I practice a lot more in recent years and get more compliments these days without having to try to impress. I wouldn't say I was brilliant but I am pretty decent these days. Testing the mic at soundchecks, the soundman tends to get a comedy skit about this being "the main mic" and "can we get spotlights on stage left?" Incredibly I've never been fired from a band in 35yrs but I've annoyed a lot of singers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember hearing that song on a Sounds album that you got free if you collected the weekly tokens or something way back in time.

I heard some guy throw it casually into a bass solo once and I said to myself, 'That guy doesn't take himself too seriously but it still sounds cool'. Captain Pugwash theme tune gets em every time.

neepheid Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 If someone's been taking too long to tune up, or is having to deal with an audience member trying to talk to them mid gig, I'll sometimes start playing this: The x2 should really ad nauseum... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddo Soqable Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 We used to have a few pre planned skits to do... if, for instance, drummer busted a snare skin, myself and Gtr would launch into a little comic jazzy number... or if there was a Git catastrophe, busted string etc, myself and drums would do a "max wall dance contest" theme or something... Oddly it was never necessary to have a contingency for bass dropping out.. Basses don't go wrong (do they?.. ) 😁 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to hear it, I know he used a DNA Analogic Bass Dragger, this is a great video of Juan from Pedals and Effects demoing it with the MCA settings (also big up Juan dude is a low key genius) Sorry for the delay in getting back to you @greentext I've been DIY'ing but hopefully these 4 samples will give you some idea of what this pedal is about. There is a caveat - I'm playing this on a P Bass with Labella flatwounds as that's all I've got to hand and using my phone mic, so it's not going to give you MCA's 70s Jazz with roundwounds tone and studio quality recording 😆 Gratitude (1khz tone filter on) Gratitude.mp3 Sabotage Sabotage.mp3 Futterman's Rule (normal tone setting) Futtermans Rule 1.mp3 Futterman's Rule (1khz tone filter on) Futtermans Rule 2.mp3 This pedal is an absolute filthy beast.

I’ve just double checked and it was the tone filter switch that I flicked between for the sounds above (will update the labels). It’s in a plain box as I only recently built it so forgot which switch was the tone and which one was for the diodes. I might have another go at recording and toggling between the diodes as well but as the setting I had it on was using the original diodes it’s essentially the same circuit as an original Univox.

Buddster Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Ask the guitarist for a sound check they usually play half the bloody set! Then carry on fiddling while others do theirs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
