Schism by Tool is packed full of great bass lines. I can't pick just one bass line, i find it too hard, so I say ALL the bass lines in Schism.

[quote name='ali-stare' post='23599' date='Jun 26 2007, 04:12 PM']the other night i was playing on a mates Orange rig. My god it sounded fantastic, however at around £2000 a shot its a bit out of my price range. I was wondering if anyone had tried the cheaper Crush series and what are they like compared to their bigger valve brothers? ali[/quote] The Crush range are nothing like the valve amps, they're good though. I think the 35B sounds a lot better than the 20B because the 20B has what sounds like some kind of built in limiter that kicks in at relatively low volumes (some people might like this, I don't). They're simple, well built, sound pretty good and they're cheap. Don't expect them to sound anything like the AD200 though... that amp is £1200 for a good reason

I use a Fulltone Bassdrive. It sounds especially phat with my 70's P-bass. It's nice!

"And the best part about this bass? It is a working bass!!" No, that's not the best part about this bass. There really is no best part about this bass.

[quote name='BassJase' post='22235' date='Jun 23 2007, 01:06 AM']I've been a big Primus fan since about '93, and i think they're bloody great. Recently in one or another american bass mag they listed big bad Les' discography. He's recorded something ridiculous like 22 albums in the last 15 years. How the hell do you remember all that? Oh yeah, and the video with the big rubber cowboy suits in is the best music video ever. period.[/quote] Wynonna's got herself a big brown beaver and she shows it off to all her friends

[quote name='Rich' post='21990' date='Jun 22 2007, 04:59 PM']I bought Sailing the Seas of Cheese out of curiosity, because I wanted to see what all the fuss was about with this Claypool fella I kept hearing about.[/quote] Me too!... I now have 106 Primus songs in my iTunes library

Has anyone got a plectrum that they like the sound of but find the grip of said pleck to be crap? I've found a cure! Hole-punch

Great idea! I'm well up for that!

Have you seen/got Blame It On The Fish MB1? If you like the Primus DVD's then I recommend this one too, it follows them on tour.

I play with plectrums a fair bit. I've just switched from using Dunlop Tortex .88's to Tortex .88 'The Wedge' because they're a bit more pointy. I also use Dunlop Ultex picks, the big tri-angle ones.

[quote name='Buzz' post='21367' date='Jun 21 2007, 01:37 PM']You probably could just use t-cut to get rid of the buckle rash. I'd say it'll be down to the toughness of the lacquer.[/quote] T-cut? Are you sure? I've got a feeling that stuff might do something nasty to a bass. Fender make a 'swirl and haze' remover, that might be worth looking into but it depends on how deep the scratches are.

This thing is "brutal", apparently... [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Supro-High-Gain-Mini-bass-amp-See-Video_W0QQitemZ230120697135QQihZ013QQcategoryZ38079QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Supro-High-Gain-Mini...9QQcmdZViewItem[/url]

I use a comfort strapp, a couple of big wide leather levys straps, a padded leather fender strap and a wide planet waves strap. They're all good straps but some seem to feel much better with certain basses.

Nice basses I've got a Joodee acoustic guitar that's about 25+ years old, it sounds great but I've never found much info on it.

I like your family tree mike! That's quite a bass family you've had/got!

and don't they just play like nothing on earth too?! You must be proud one day I shall own a GB!

They're great basses for the money. I particularly like sound and feel of the Fortress 4 with the P + J pickups.

A NEW SHALLAC ALBUM! Must it buy now!!

I'd recommend D'addario 45-100 pro-steels. They have a enough snap and thud to them without being stiff to work around quickly on the fret board IMO.

I tends to say six-be-ten, bey! Propah job!

Warwick have just released the Adjust-a-nut 2. It's pretty much the same as the original one but without the flimsy side bits.

That's a tricky one. Is he inexperienced, lazy or sketchy? I can't decide. Maybe a bit of each?

Oh my! He's got more bass gear than the average bass shop.

I reckon you should do the job. It's only for the summer, you'll have a nice stack of cash to spend on bass things. I really don't think you'd regret doing it. What are you reeeally gonna miss out on anyway? Perhaps your mates are a bit jealous that you've got this opportunity?
