Both bass (top) and guitar (bottom) pedalboards set up for the first time in over 18 months. I actually played for an hour last night straight into the amp and the pain was bearable. Onwards and upwards!
Ps, the 59 Les Paul was still perfectly in tune after not being played for 18 months. Miracle!

Today’s track is a from 2010 - Barnsley’s own ‘Exit Calm’, with a slice of shoegaze genius. Turn up loud and float away in reverb drenched distortion!

Today’s Plectrum is this triangular Tagua Nut and resin 3 sided beauty. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the builder to give a shout-out.
If you haven’t tried a plectrum made from Tagua I wouldn’t hesitate recommending them as they are a joy to play and better for the environment than polymers.

As today is #fuzzfriday my daily chosen track (it’s actually a one track album) is all about the fuzz; tuned down guitars, high wattage Green Matamps, evil transistors and Al Cisneros’ monster Rickenbacker bass riffs.
