[quote name='spinynorman' post='1302539' date='Jul 13 2011, 04:10 PM']I downloaded a couple of Deerhoof tracks off the Gibson web site. It's not just the name that's odd.[/quote] Deerhoof are from San Francisco! Although Satomi does sing some tunes in Japanese. They're technically 1/4 Japanese but they have that Japanese "charm" about them that comes from the singer. They're one of those bands that change a lot from album to album. I think they've released 11 albums, so there's a lot to get through. However... Friend Opportunity and Offend Maggie are standout albums IMO.

I was just curious because it sounded so good

Does anyone know what bass he was using for Over The Falls?

Really loved hearing Whamola, Is It Luck and Over The Falls. Didn't expect to hear those tunes.

And what would a thread about obscure Japanese bands be without the mightily insane [b]Melt-Banana [/b]

Check out [b]Toe[/b]. Their album 'For Long Tomorrow' is a thing of beauty! It's not prog. It gets dubbed post-this and post-blahblahblah, but who cares.. it's a good'n.

I have only played the regular TRB's, but I've always been very impressed by the low B on them. It's definitely worth a try based on that alone, although I haven't tried the exact model you're talking about.

just make sure you don't run your flux capacitor out of phase or it will end with a big bang and lots of tears.

So +1 for Barge Concepts.[/quote] That sounds like a great pedal. I could really do with something like that for my board.

[url="http://www.bargeconcepts.com/vfb1.html"]Barge Concepts[/url] The VFB can be picked up pretty cheap and it won't muck up your tone, it does just what it's meant to do. The feedback loop is an interesting part of the pedal, if you've got a fuzz and a delay in the loop you can get some great feedback tones.

In 10 years of owning a TU2 it never occurred to me that it could be used as a signal splitter. That's quite a handy thing to bare in mind when putting together a pedal board

[quote name='fatgoogle' post='1266456' date='Jun 12 2011, 07:03 PM']Yamaha TRB 1005.[/quote] +1 I appreciate you specifically said 'new' in the OP, but you should be able to find these second hand for £400-£500. The low B is outstanding. I have a 6 string TRB and I've found it to be great bass all round, I couldn't recommend those TRB low B's enough!

Red! I think it's got a particularly nice flame on it, which makes the depth of the colour look great

I've got Keith's autobiography on my bedside table that I keep meaning to start too.[/quote] That's one of the next ones on my list to read I spotted it on Amazon the other day for £4.50.

[quote name='Norris' post='1245416' date='May 26 2011, 11:51 AM']That's a very good read. More downs than ups, but then that's probably likely when you have had a serious habit like that.[/quote] It's a bit pain staking towards the end of reading it when he's continuously relapsing! But it is a very good read I find his upbringing quite fascinating. My girlfriend takes the piss out of me for only reading biographies about musicians with drug problems, but on that note, Motley Crue - The Dirt, The Nikki Sixx Heroin Diaries and Slash autobiographies make for great reading.
