I’m a big believer in using low wattage amps in the studio. This #Fender Bassbreaker 007 is one of the coolest little amps I’ve recorded in years. Powered by a single EL84, and featuring a high gain preamp, bright switch, and a powerful 3 band tone control, its 7 watt output makes it an ideal recording amp for both bass and electric guitar. The 10″ Celestion offers surprisingly good bottom end. I haven’t had the chance to try it with an extension cabinet yet, but I’m sure it’ll only get better.

We used it on bass guitar and much of the electric guitar for the upcoming @vanessa_peters album #modernage and found it to be an outstanding sounding, versatile amp – so much so that the bass player bought one the day after the session! Every studio needs one of these. 10/10 solid recommendation.

Good news – new studies suggest that masks not only help others, but may actually also help the wearer: while masks may not be 100% effective at preventing the virus from entering the body, they may reduce the number of viruses that do enter. This is called “viral load” and is increasingly believed to be a key reason why some people get incredibly ill from COVID-19 while others show no symptoms at all.

But you should still wear a mask when in contact with others, for all the reasons stated in the image above. Try to be part of the solution.

By the way, if you’re one of those people who thinks that masks are for pussies, or refuse to wear one because of your “freedoms,” or you think it’s some sort of hoax, or you just can’t stand the “discomfort,” then please unfollow this account and do not attempt to contact me in the future. I’m one of those “elitists” who does not tolerate assholes or morons as friends.
