![]() If their goal was to gain some new fans, I’d say the mission was likely a success as the crowd gave them lots of cheers and applause and were happy to pose for the band’s selfie.īig Wreck however got the audience really rocking and opened with ‘Bombs Away’ off their 2021 ‘EP ‘7.1’, which the crowd was amped for. They played their brand new single (just released at the end of January) ‘Adrenaline’ which was well received and ended their set on an energetic note with their other new single (released summer 2022) ‘Keys To The City’. ![]() You wouldn’t know the audience was mostly unfamiliar with the band as the audience seemed willing to give them their full attention and they cheered and sang along to songs like ‘Bulletproof’ and ‘Hey Bartender.’ The band’s arena rock influences are clear and demonstrated their rock instrumental capabilities to loud cheers on ‘What You Came For’ but they slowed the frantic tempo down a bit on ‘The Thief’ and ‘Alive’. A meet-the-band video posted five years ago on YouTube has lead singer Taylor Leith mentioning Big Wreck as an influence of the band, so it’s no surprise they were excited to be playing in front of the sold-out crowd of Big Wreck fans, obviously hoping some would turn into Sierra Pilot fans as well. The band’s single ‘Alive’, released in early 2022, got them increased radio play and on to some bigger stages with renowned rock acts. Sierra Pilot took the stage seemingly in awe at the size of the crowd at their first-ever show in Ottawa. If in any doubt, take it to your local guitar shop.If you thought there was nothing fun to do in Ottawa this Friday night in February, since the Rideau Canal has yet to open, you were wrong and missed out on a great show at the Bronson Centre featuring Canadian rock band Big Wreck and opener Sierra Pilot, an emerging rock band from Waterloo, Ontario. Soldering wires back on is straightforward if you have done it before, but if not, the thing to remember is that soldering a wire to a chunk of metal (like the output jack) requires the metal to get quite hot in order to make a good connection, so be careful. If it looks fine, the next thing to check is wires going to your volume and tone pots - these may require a different plate to be unscrewed sometimes it's the scratch plate, sometimes you get at these from the back etc., but again, you are looking for a wire that isn't connected any more. ![]() When you pull this carefully away from the guitar, you should see two wires connected to it - the most common things that go are either that one of these has come loose or the springy bit has bent back and no longer touches the jack. This varies between guitar types, but is often a small metal plate with a couple of screws, like this one from strat-talk. Next step is to unscrew the plate holding the jack socket on to your guitar. Also check to see if any of the pots are pull/push. It sounds like you have done the simple checks, and if you get a hum from touching the jack that rules out cable and amp (aside from a couple of exceptional faults.)ĭo as Todd suggests, and try turning the knobs full range while the cable is plugged in and seeing if strumming generates any sounds from the amp.
