Ya don't see a lotta blues singers with a 1000 yard stare:whistle:

The guitar solo in the second song alone, was worth the price of admission:roflmao::roflmao::roflmao:
Lee Brilleaux the singer's dead now sadly

This is Wilko today with young Norman



And with Roger Daltrey singing which is an improvement



And discussing his technique, the accent alone is worth listening to, it's near alien to me and I'm used to it :roflmao:

 
I use a Mooer Tender and a Boss bass chorus. My wife rarely comments on bass tone, but she told me the sound was huge when using those together for Sledgehammer recently. The Mooer will do octave up and down.
Never heard of the Mooer before so looked it up, How do they do that? It could put us all out of work :( Clever stuff though

I dig the pedal & would like to check one out... but I had to chuckle when he added a "touch" of gain. It changed it from a clean clear jangly almost telecaster-esque tone, to giant 20 pound electric razor tone... all with just a "touch" of gain.:rolleyes:

OOOOOOOOHHHHH... guitar players and their grainy thin excuses for tone :rollno:

It is my opinion that all budding young guitar players, should be forced to start with like, a silver face Bassman or other such minimalist amps with controls like this on it:

If you can get where you can sound good with nothing to hide behind... you can apply to purchase a more feature laden amp:roflmao::roflmao::roflmao:

He should get a wireless headset mic so he can keep walkin' while he's singin'.

Our 2 guitarists play"clean"most of the time. Some effects during solos. You can actually hear chords!!!
 
Selling off all the fat, getting lean and Spartan here. I figure the day will come when it's time to stay off ladders and planks, maybe ill look into getting more work as a music -can.
So I sold a big amp and got one of these...

That little tiny box makes quite a bit of noise. Simple +/- eq section, kind of a dynamic gain at input and plenty of volume. Fits in a pocket. Crazy. Makes hauling-in to a gig way more fun after a day of pushing tools around.

I got mine at GC, it was their last one (demo unit). It was missing the feet and 4 of the knobs. Yeah that's weird, but they gave me $50 off the selling price, so I bought the "pro" coverage for $60. That means If I pour a beer into the top vent in the next two years, they'll send me a new one. I thought that was kind of fun they'd suggest I do that and get another one with feet and proper knobs on it...

What is it?
 
I'd put it in quite awhile back when we had the loooong Tort discussion-shortly b4 Kat888 left us. Here it is w/o"pickguard"-and with my favorite plectrum:View attachment 3113709
I remember the post from when I came back but I completely missed the repost today but I seem to get that a lot, I reply and then go back and then later on I find posts where there weren't any before. I know, no need to say it! :roflmao:
