Business...

Rrrrrrrrrrrrroight!

I'm experimenting with effects pedals today. I'm trying to build the ultimate bass pedal board for the newly reformed Moke.

Yep, you heard.

Business will be done at the mokesite and at the mokemyspace, both sites currently being overhauled.

It's been strange, trying to relearn three albums worth of material. I thought I wouldn't have forgotten the songs, but I have. I've also lost my feel. It's been over ten years since we last played, so I'm having to remember how to play like 25 year-old Alex. Weird.

But I'm getting my chops back, as well as my tone, and so far, no blisters, although my shoulder's rather sore. Those Fenders are MIGHTY heavy.

I plan to play a 1970s reissue Fender Jazz, sunburst with a rosewood block neck...




...into an Ampeg SVT2 head and 2x15 Cab.






Basically, about as loud and splendid a noise as you can get, and it's important to have an amp that's taller than yourself. Regarding my effects, so far, the order of pedals runs thus...

Boss TU2



Sexdrive



Octabass



Bass Overdrive



Big Muff



Tremolo



...and I've just bought a Mind Bender.


Excellente! Now I've just got to string them all together.

More soon...
