The Bassist and Guitarist thread

Try a Behringer compressor pedal. Its essentially a Boss clone, but if you decide its not for you it won't have cost the earth,

Thanks.

The CS400 is one of the sub £50 pedals I've been looking at... seems like a bargain at £25
Also the Nu-x Sculpture at around £35 (it'll take up less space on the board)

I'm looking at 2nd hand where possible... that way i should be able to sell for what i paid give or take, if i don't like it.

I'm a bit disappointed that Homer chose a PJ.

Agreed.

It does work well, for the money you won’t go wrong, I’ve got one and it’s very good

Squeeze are great... always have been, always will be.

It is okay to mention that to us oldies, but youngsters will give you funny looks if you say it to them!

I embarrassed myself on my Yorkshire Dales forum ride from Settle. I was riding along with a CycleChat member who I had met for the first time that morning. We had just entered a little village and I saw that it was called Clapham. I turned to face the other rider, smiled, and burst into song ...

ColinJ: "I never thought it could happen, with me and a girl from Clapham, out on the windy common, that night I aint forgotten."

Other Rider, looking startled: "Sorry?"

CJ, cheerfully: "Squeeze!"

OR: "Huh?"

CJ, faltering: "Up the Junction?"

OR, now looking worried about riding with me: "Eh?"

CJ, going red, feeling foolish: "Never mind, you are probably too young to remember 70s chart hits!"

What about the summer camp episode, with Tom Petty, Brian Setzer, Elvis Costello, Mick Jagger & 'Keef'??

the CS400?

yes, that's the one, Behringer CS400

 

[MontyVeda]

yes, that's the one, Behringer CS400

Ended up getting the Nu-X at £30 delivered. Should have it by weekend christmas

one would think that a music producer, with all those knobs and buttons and effects would be able to to get a different sound all by themselves.

DAB doesn't, but your car might. Every new car we've had since 2017 connects to either Wiffy at home or the mobile network.

Known on this side of the pond as a DFA switch. I'm sure I don't need to elaborate...

Took the neck off the Geddy Lee to tweak the truss rod. A pain, but I've been meaning to do it for ages.

Then checked the frets, all beautifully level.

Restrung with new Ernies, set up and intonated, lovely. Didn't set the action too low as I'm the master of hammer ons and pull offs and having it too low compromises this.

For my sins I've been getting into Squeeze recently and learning a few of their basslines.

How bizarre. We're just about to start the bassline for "Pulling Mussels From A Shell".

If only Aunty Beeb had known what that was about, they’d have banned it, then it would have got to No 1 for weeks on end!
Edit: I think many thought it was about a body builder showing off to his girlfriend, as they thought it was Pulling Muscles For Michelle
