Ah, almost as entertaining as the Liam Gallagher thread Personally and IMHO.... U2 have written some pretty decent tunes, but they have also written some goddamn AWFUL ones. They have an instantly recognisable sound which sets them apart from most mainstream drivel, but they REALLY aren't as good as they like to think they are... They have a lead singer who annoys the turds out of me. If he lay across my lap on a TV programme, while ignoring the outstretched hands of his fans a couple of seats away I'd tell him to "get off my f*cking lap unless he wants a kicking".... I have no opinion on Adam Clayton. He seems to do a solid enough job for the band though..... ....and I defend my right as freespeaking Basschat member to have these opinions.

That's a beauty.... and love the colour!

Lovely! Get a brown tort pickguard on it and it'll be fab

That is BEAUTIFUL! Wow!

No FX. Only tracks that I played on here are "Breathing Under Water" and "Zero". The others are played by one of the guits when I left. Guitars, Les Paul Custom through a Boogie and a Jaguar, through a 30th Anniversary Marshall stack, all with beautiful use of FX. That's me at the back with the hat on.[/quote] Nice tone Steve! Just enough growl/grind & mids...

A strong, deep & clear piano-tone with a touch of growl and grind & hi-mids a little boosted. That's my fave tone...

Gorgeous collection, to cover all bas(s)es! Congrats

[quote name='liamcapleton' post='418890' date='Feb 24 2009, 11:26 PM']Phil Lynott for definite. I'd like to see someone put out a Louis Johnson signature bass, but I don't know what would be special about it![/quote] Fender Japan made a limited reissue run of these which were basically 70's reissues with big TV logo, in black with mirror pickguard. A couple of us on this board are lucky owners of these....

[quote name='acidbass' post='417092' date='Feb 23 2009, 12:47 AM']I should be dropping in to the Belfast show with a couple of friends of mine (fingers crossed!) Hope to see you there mate![/quote] Lovely!! I'll be the bloke in the bat wings with blood on his chin and an 'axe' around his neck....

[quote name='Golchen' post='416494' date='Feb 22 2009, 09:38 AM']This sounds terrible, but once I bought a secondhand guitar, had it delivered to work, dismantled it and took the bits home over a couple of days, and then announced that I was going to 'make something up out of spare parts that I have lying around". It worked.[/quote] Superb, I'll have to remember that one...

[quote name='rjb' post='415259' date='Feb 20 2009, 01:23 PM']They do seem to have a decent blend of playability and affordability.[/quote] Big +1

That's our boy

[quote name='farmer61' post='415112' date='Feb 20 2009, 11:25 AM']I can only go on personal experience here. Buy it sneak it in the house, wait a while then put it on display and if ever questioned tell here you've had it for ages. Yes that old failsafe.......lie.[/quote] Ah, that old classic......

I have 39 basses.... 7 guitars.... and 2 bass rigs. My wife doesn't tell me what to do

Nice playing..... and very cool to get a comment from the man himself!

[quote name='Murph_Orpheus' post='413406' date='Feb 18 2009, 05:33 PM']I'm using a Spector Euro 5LX through a rack Mesa Big Block 750 as my pre-amp and a Sansamp RPM for overdrive. All through an Ampeg 8x10 cab.[/quote] Now THAT'S a METAL rig!!

[quote name='bremen' post='411829' date='Feb 17 2009, 11:43 AM']I've just come back from my first visit to Oslo and I loved it. Some of the happiest people I've ever met, should be great gigs. Will you be able to afford to hang out for a few days after the gigs?[/quote] We played in Oslo (at The Sentrum) about 10 years ago, but it was a flying visit so barely saw the city. Hopefully as we're at the same venue for two days we'll get a chance for a bit of a wander around this time. Flying straight back the day after though....
