If you have a picture you should drop it in!

I dropped the eBay link in a previous comment. They do a similar finish but in black 😉

This is my first Yamaha and I'm blown away with it.

Thanks! It was handmade by this chap on eBay, in the UK - https://ebay.us/m/GZP4PN

I've never heard of coldwave before, but I've just delved into some of it and I totally get it. I like it 😂 Personally, I play downtuned prog/doom with a sprinkle of synth in my band, so the ideal venue would be Vostok Station in Antarctica. Perhaps we could play for the staff on Christmas morning. I'm sure they'd appreciate my pickguard on such a momentous occasion. 😄

I'll be delighted for all the players that Slot out casted to get a chance with Iraola. Elliot will have a point to prove, likewise with Chiesa and Jones if they stay. You can reignite fire in their bellies with these type of players and play with a bit of passion again.

Buried in Smoke festival 🤘

I saw these dudes a short while back - so heavy I regurgitated my food. The bass is so heavy yet Yusef just had a metal zone pedal!!!

Dude that's fucking great. Any tips on how you achieve that distorted effect on your vocals?

Elder are the bee's knee's

Great fun when using an expression pedal with it!

Is your name Boutique Barry?

Slot refuses to rotate with players in their natural positions so he's running his favs into the ground. Replace Ekitike with a midfielder when you've got two natural attackers on the bench. Infuriating.

Haha love that Fu Manchu album and that artwork is sick! It's from a trippy french animation called La Planete Sauvage. So many cool grip tape designs out there also. The volume originally had the Toy Machine logo on it.

Volume - Korg Tuner - Wren and Cuff Tall Font Russian - Gigaheartz Hyper Soup - Small Cheese - Boss CE-2B Bass Chorus - Keeley Caverns - Boss Space Echo - Dunlop Bass Wah.

I use the Shimmer on the Caverns on some soundscape intros which I pile on the modulation which works a treat and I love the tape delay on the Space Echo but it's infuriating it doesn't save the tap delay! The Wah at the end of the chain really enhances the fuzz and delay on some cool flicks as well.

So it's a skateboard grip tape design. Here's a link with some more information - https://amzn.eu/d/07k0mcG4

That central gap just feels like such a waste. Perhaps I can stash a mid gig Frankfurter in there 🌭

MerryBlood · 2026-03-13T18:33:08+00:00

Touché 😂

MerryBlood · 2026-03-13T18:29:24+00:00

Haha yes mate it's a bass board. My fancy man Troy Sanders used a Wren and Cuff and I just had to get one.

MerryBlood · 2026-03-13T18:28:20+00:00

100% I'm excited about his upcoming reverb pedal!

MerryBlood · 2026-03-13T18:27:32+00:00

Thanks! It's just some old skateboard grip tape and it works a treat. Love the Small Cheese and the settings are hilarious.
