Did a Audition last night

Auditioned on bass.

I played well.

They played well.

But the BL was non-stop talking, not as outrageous but even looked a bit like the Nuge.

And I realized as I arrived I had auditioned at the same house (nice, finished basement music room) about 10 years ago with the same BL, different band.

Drummer was good, looked like the guy in Gov Mule but shorter at about 5’5″ with slightly bigger arms.

The rhythm guitar player played a synth-equipped Strat through one of those digi-Mustang amps – he could play, but that amp sounded like razor-blades being run though a pair of bright chorus pedals. He only knew their stuff and surf tunes – didn’t even know Stones basics.

BL played a SG and had a really nice black-face DRI, with one of those new Boss GT 1000.7859 POS digital wanna-be Headjob/Rectal things; for sound, see the above descrip – he totally ruined a sweet amp.

They gave me a Fender Rumble 25 and I’ll be damned but I kept it at 12:00 and it kept up no problems – a EBS compressor and then a Bass Soul Food or Linden on at all times.

But the thing, the thing, the thing – my politics are 180 degrees away from those implied by their sly little test-jokes.

And they kept the un-opened 6 of Corona Light I brought, which is absolutely disqualifrying.

Drum Pedals (Trio, Sdrum, Beatbuddy Mini 2)

I have the Trio, the S-drum and now the Beatbuddy Mini 2.

They all have their strengths, and weaknesses.

The Trio can have it’s pattern triggered by how you play guitar within it’s genre setting, and it will add bass and you can trigger auto fills only as you change parts, either complex or simplified but you can’t save anything.  It auto-assigns the drum sounds based on genre and you can turn off the bass but it basically has limited kits. I use it when jamming on guitar with another guitarist.

The S-drum can have it’s pattern triggered by how you play guitar within it’s groove setting with an auto variation and a writable variation and you can trigger auto fills and crashes within and as you change parts, and you can change some drum sounds (4 kits, I think) and the hat grooves independently, as well as some feel and timing adjustments. You can save the songs you write – dnk how many but lots.  It’s stereo, also.

The Beatbuddy Mini 2 is more like a drum macheen, with 100 cool preset patterns that each have two variations and set drum sounds and you can trigger fills and crashes within and as as you change sections. You can save the songs, also.

I have now jammed with the BB and I like it alot – it is the easies to use of the three and I woukd reco it first, the S-drum if you want to put drums to yer riffs, the Trio if you want to have a bass added.

All have triggerable options with remote foot switches and all are different enuff to be worth having for various uses, as above.

I run ’em into 1 or two 50w. mini-PA’s they sound great – my mini PA’s also allow for a sub out and I can use a extra 25w. bass amp for that and it’s obnoxiously loud in my house.
