Phil I  modified  mine  with  an external foot switch  for  the  drum machine  so  I  could  easily  switch  it on and  off  when playing live  Its  simple just  a  two  core  lead  from the  back  of  the  switch  to  a  push  to  make foot switch   from maplin  ,cost  a  couple  of  pounds

I used  an RP 70  for  years  great  pedal pretty  much  the  same  as  the RP 55.I  stopped  using  it  when one  of  the  switches    broke   but  I   later  repaired  it and  still have it  as  a  backup in Greece  My  current   pedal of  choice    is  the  Boss  be5  just  4  effects    but    sounds  great for  what  I  need .

TF I'm going  to  try  a  heavier  string  maybe  even   a  thin bass string  I  have  an ES 335  copy  here  which  sounds  nice  and  dirty for this sort  of  thing , on the  recording  I'm using  a  yamaha  pacifica  112

The thing  about  band  members  is  when you  find  your  ideal  you  can  just  jump in  and  play  like  it  was  yesterday , Having  just  got back playing  with  John Prince  who  I last played  with  some  years back its  like  picking up  where  we  left off. Same  applies to  my Greek  band  pals   we  have  a  break  for  6  or  8 months  then just  play  like we've  been rehearsing  for  weeks   straight off. Magic.

A desperate  situation ,I  wrote  a  song  last  year  on this  subject   when I  was  in Greece   ,I  feel  for  these  people but I  dont  think  the  answer  is migration ,certainly  it  causes  bad  feelings  and  resentment  in the  country  they  come  to .I  dont  know  the  answer ,but  songs  like  this  serve  to  make  the  world  stop and  think .Well  done  beestie .

I sometimes write bits down as they come up or just record a riff or progression on my lap top then come back to it when the next bit pops into my head but mostly I do the whole thing straight off usualy at stupid o clock in the morning

Had  the  first  session with my  new  trio yesterday and  it  went  very  well , we hired  a room at  Aquarius  studios   in Colne ,they were  great  and  very  helpful  providing  every thing we needed   to  just  plug  and  play .We  did a three hour  session and  tore though  the  set  new songs  old songs  some  of  my  original  stuff  and to  be  honest   it  was mostly   good enough to  have  played   to  an audience, the  guys  who  run the  place commented  that  they  couldn't  believe  we  hadn't  played  together  before ,I  was  quite  over whelmed   by  the  comments, but not as  over whelmed  as  John  the  bass player  when he  remembered  he'd not  switched   the  recorder on ,so  you'll  have  to  take  my  word  for now  that  it  was  good ,ah well  next  time ,must  be  an age  thing !!!!!
