    Need help remembering a bassist from Germany.

    She is a blonde headed woman, and she plays a lot of funky lines. She is probably in her late 20's to mid-30's and usually seems to be playing a Warwick bass. I can not remember her name, and was trying to look her up on youtube earlier. Any one know who I am talking about?

    Keeley Bassist Compression knob, possible issue?

    Really enjoying this pedal, but I'm wondering if there is an issue with the Compression knob. It is difficult to turn/adjust except toward 12 o'clock, where it loosens up considerably, almost too much. The Compression knob sits lower on its threads than the Threshold and Gain. . .

    Watching an old 1967 clip of The Kink's playing "You Really Got Me" in concert. The bassist, who would have been Pete Quaife, was playing a Rickenbacker but could not see if it was the single pup version or the 4001! Anybody know? Frickin' cool!
