Another great session @ the Bassment

Went to see Gutherie Govan last Thursday and was treated to a fine display of musicianship. All those guys are amazing, truly, I get great pleasure from listening to Pete Riley's drumming....wicked!

Hot Fuzz!

Monday night was the first use of the Fuzz pedal, it was great!! And I should mention that the Jam was great too!! Thanks too all those who turned up and played!!

I will post in more detail later in the week

Album nearly done, available at The Mermaid Gig 17th April

Well while I'm posting I may as well update the album situation. Ten tracks are done, artwork is being finalized and I'm getting excited about the next gig where it will be on sale! The gig will be at The Mermaid, 98 Hatfeild Road, St Albans 8:30 start. We will be playing as many of th album tracks as we get time for as well as some Steely Dan and Robben Ford covers so come check it out!

We may even do a little jam session......

Just picked up a Boss FZ-5

Trying out this Boss fuzz pedal and I think I'm gonna add it to my set up.....I'm not by any means a Hendrix aficianado but thats what it reminds me of. I like it because I can now have 3 or 4 distortion types: 1) clean/crunch 2) Overdrive 3) Overdrive with pickup booster engaged and 4) Meltdown - Overdrive with the FZ-5 engaged! When engaged with the ring modulator I really can create a truly revolting (but cool)sound.

This is my first fuzz pedal, I always use my amp's distortion so am not that clued up when it comes to distortion/fuzz/overdrive pedals but I like it that way, it makes it more fun when you 'discover' a cool pedal.

Jam night musings

Just reflecting on a great night again at the Mermaid, once again it was great to see all the great players!
