Hello dear listener,

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!

Hello dear listener,

Welcome to part three of the Broncoff! It's been a year in the making! We've had so many things get in the way and delay this series, but finally it's here!

Naomi, JD and myself have each been given a Squier Bronco Bass (Squier's most affordable bass guitar) and access to the Guitar Nerds Credit Card (Jay was not impressed). Our task has been to turn this rather substandard beginner's bass into a stadium grade bass machine!

Follow us over the next 3 episodes, where we talk through our choices, upgrades and adjustments, and give you advice on how you can turn a sub $200 bass into the greatest instrument you've ever owned!

Don't forget to vote for the winner on our Facebook group or Patreon! Voting will open after the third and final episode airs on Wednesday 16th March 2022.

This Broncoff would not have been possible without the help and support of Mojo Pickups, BTN Music & MusicNomad!

Thanks to Music Nomad for the fantastic tools, and brilliant guides on their KISS Keep it Simple Set Up guides.

Thanks to Mojo pickups for being such incredible sports and making us the 3 pickups so quickly (when we then ended up sitting on the series for a year!).

And thank you to BTN Music for providing the hardware for our newly modded Broncos.

Hi, Joe from Guitar Nerds here. This is the first episode in our 3rd series of The Home Recording Guide. In this series Matt and I will be building a new track from scratch using only real world equipment and the free plugins that are available on the most basic version of Presonus Studio One.

If you're new to recording or your just starting to dabble in it then we highly recommend Presonus Studio One as the DAW to get involved in. We've found it to be such a fantastic creative tool, and it's made all of us better, more creative musicians by using it.

On this week's episode Matt and I discuss all the incredible tools available within Studio One that we're hoping to take advantage of throughout this series, and show you a little snippet of some of the more creative tools we'll be using.
