Too late now, but that cap was old and needed a Depends.

yeah, all good....back to it's old self now...

Been quite lucky in that respect. It may have taken three goes to get a preamp I didn't hate, but the RAT clone is just fantastic in a stupid grin sort of way.

That's great. I just find that demos tend to have stuff cranked up way too high for my tastes. And then they'll finally tone that gain down and then turn the tone down at the same time, which I'd never do. Can't win. Fortunately here, at least, there are ways to try this stuff out risk-free.

Yes - one benefit. Here you have to find out who sells them, find out if they have stock, wait three months, probably mailorder, try them out, flip them, rinse, repeat.

Took some licence...

you played around like a Kat and a RAT
And now you've got the Balwyn blues


(Prob should be Redfern Blues)

Played through one of those tonight.

They are traditionally underrated, but typically make solid, roadworthy, good sounding gear.

If you run into an old Mk-III head, you should probably pick it up. Classic, tone-machine, tank-rugged iron.

I've played through that for years. It's the "house" bass rig at the practice space. I like it. The overall sound is pretty raw, which suits me just fine.

I haven't, but I am loving the EB Cobalt flats. I guessed at the set and they're a little low tension; the V needs more front bow. Unfortunately my metric hex keys have disappeared.

The on sale set I ordered from Jason’s new shop should be here today. I understand Gbass is no longer infatuated with them on his ‘15, but I’m going to try them on mine to hear for myself.

Old Peavey is about equivalent to ACC in a lot of ways. Loud, heavy, big, indestructible. A little cruder than ACC but still great in a 1970s solid state way. I think of Carvin in the same way, up to whatever it was that happened a year or two ago. Cheap and way better than it has a right to be. And a great value as used gear.

I plan to put them back on the '15 soon.

What is Jasons company named again? I keep forgetting to write it down...

Wal-Mart sells a combination SAE/metric set cheap.

Just can't leave em alone. Doesn't matter what day it is for them. Those other two are extremely jealous of TBird Thursday.

 

[Mike.C.]

I'll bear that in mind, although atm, our singer is fully into the drum programming.

Glad you are getting help with the work-maintenance portion of the band.

And just like Peavey, John Taylor (who plays them) is traditionally underrated, but typically solid, roadworthy, and good sounding.

I think bass players are usually the ones to do the lions-share of band work. I know that's true with my band. I have help from our guitarist, but as for our drummer (love him) showing up is as much as we can expect. I'd like if they could help beating the bushes for gigs and going over material before rehearsal - but it is what it is and as long as I stay on top of things, it's all good. Doing a good show together is always my payback.

One of the few Eastwoods I haven't seen. I need to.

A classic. Clint’s debut as a director. A stunning Jessica Walter. Saw it in the theater when it came out; I was thirteen. Like to revisit it every few years. A must watch for any Eastwood fan.

Donnervogel Donnerstag.

A pre show pic of me and my bandmate Ginger, she's simply one of the finest, coolest people I'll ever know.
