    So I take it you're a muscle bound gym rat now? Tina Turners sax player from Private Dancer....Tim Cappello That's endorphin therapy. He punished himself in the gym for his addiction.

    SOBER VAPERS - Vaping Sober - ROLLCALL!

    The difference is that when you get sick you don't care. It's all fine... I can still remember first putting that chewing tobacco in my mouth and experiencing my salivary glands working triple time to expel it... and then the wave of nausea that spoke loudly from my body and mind "This is...

    Ditto. Congrats keithu2. "Easy Does It" - that's why this thread is misplaced. This is the Outside Forum. It feeds on controversy. It ain't easy here. BTW. My name is bassnut and I'm an alcoholic who continues to drink. I also like AA meetings though I haven't been to one in quite awhile. I...

    ;) Are you perhaps confusing Endorphins (endolphins ;)) with Dopamine and Serotonin?

    SOBER VAPERS - Vaping Sober - ROLLCALL!

    You are absolutely correct here, Surf but I had to chuckle to myself remembering my first encounters with tobacco. Both of my parents smoked without reservation or restraint constantly at home or in the car or at a restaurant etc. I suspect I was somewhat addicted before I even began to smoke...

    I haven't heard much of a downside to the use of nicotine unless one overindulges - increased heart-rate, excessive sweating, nausea, addiction etc. By many account's it's actually beneficial to brain function.

    SOBER VAPERS - Vaping Sober - ROLLCALL!

    Ever been to a Nicotine Anonymous meeting? I rub elbows with a lot of AA people. Seems like half of my friends are recovering alcoholics. Our drummer has 26 years sobriety and quit smoking about three years ago because he was worried about how it was affecting his singing voice. He still chews...

    Why is this thread here on the Outside? There is absolutely no good that can come from this that I can foresee. Isn't there a dedicated forum for dry vapers?

    SOBER VAPERS - Vaping Sober - ROLLCALL!

    I just recently took up "smoking" :2cool: again. I've found that in small amounts it has improved my musicianship done just before stage time. I've received confirmation on that from band mates and audience regulars... who have grown weary of my usual performance. (myself included)

    Yeah, I tried that once. Not so good. I work close with the drums as a bassist.. That's 1/2 (+/-) my sound. That's how I was raised musically. I get work.

    Did you read this Mac? I get that you just don't want to lower yourself to become a mere musical instrument player...

    Why is that? Is the vocalist missing some fingers or something? Today is as good a time as any to start....

    The Meatball sounds much better, yeah - envelope filter or more commonly known as an "envelope follower" or even "Envelope Detector".

    I don't use pedals of any kind. I used to use an MXR flanger a long time ago but only on a very few songs. I use the sub-octave feature on the Ashdown amp (when I'm not using the '68 Dual Showman) for a couple of tunes. I play mostly classic rock, country, swing and blues these days. Old stuff...

    It sounds to me like your string is getting too close to the magnetic pole piece. On Fenders this is what's called "Stratitis" - or so I've heard. The magnetic field interferes with string vibration and kills the note. Try lowering your pickups a little.
