Last week, we had an issue with our Patreon Episode, so I decided to record an extra full episode this week to make up for it. I'm joined by In The Pocket Podcast host, Chris Horrocks, for a deep dive on the wonderful Neural DSP Quad Cortex.

We're going to be discussing just what a fantastic tool it is for bassists, whether you're making super aggressive metal or classic flatwound blues.

This week, JD, Naomi and I are talking all about how she's joined a band with a whole load of super famous people and is now playing massive sell out shows and festivals!

We're discussing her huge amplifier setup, plus her pedalboard consisting entirely of distortions, and her new Charvel bass!

In other news, I've recently become obsessed with old Guyatone Micro pedals, and I'm collecting the lot!

This week it's something a little different! 

On this week's episode I'm joined by my good mate, Dan Gooday from Ashdown Engineering. Dan has spent his entire life at Ashdown; helping his Dad set up NAMM stands as a boy, and now running the entire company, creating interesting new products, attending trade shows, and designing custom rigs for some of the world's top bassists.

We'll return to our normal format next week, and fear not, 'Topic of the Week', and 'Show & Tell' will be back then too.

Matt and I are back for another episode of The Guitar Nerds Podcast. This week Barry Grzebik from Grez Guitars has challenged Matt and I to design our dream Grez Bass VI! 

We're talking all about our favourite elements of existing Bass VI's and baritones, and working out what we think would make the ultimate incarnation of such an instrument.

We're also taking a listen to the new Beta V Bass preamp from Solid Gold FX, and my goodness, does it sound wonderful!

Sorry for the lateness of this week's episode. Matt and I are now back with a whole bunch of NAMM news, demo recordings of the new Earthquaker Aurelius Chorus pedal, and advice on a simple, but effective lounge setup!

I'll start this week with an apology. When editing this week's episode, I was mortified to find that our recording platform had defaulted to my internal Macbook mic instead of running through all my lovely preamps and mic setup, so apologies for the poor quality of my audio, I feel terrible about it.

The podcast has been running for a decade and I don't think I've ever made that mistake before!

Anyway, this week we have a rather lovely episode for you. Matt is back and we're talking all about our time rehearsing with ELK Live, my trip to Ashdown to check out some valve amps for guitarists, and all the exciting things happening at The Guitar Show this year!
