[quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1333137110' post='1598061'] there is only [i]one[/i] guitarist whom all the above, and all those to follow, can stand aside for .... [media]http://youtu.be/w0w3V_-A1XI[/media] [/quote] john petrucci cant talk enough about a allan holdsworth he loves the guy and you can see why

im ok when going into shops in general but when down denmark street shops i do feel quite intimidated by the atmosphere in some of them

how about john petrucci the man is like a machine the man can play 3 hour shows 100% note perfect some of his playing is beautifully majestic and some of the heavier stuff is up there with metals heaviest

transatlantic-rose coloured glasses

for me its 1.the middle section of metallicas orion 2.anything by pete trewavas on the whirlwind(i normally hate bright tones but this rocks) 3.mastodons blood an thunder

wrist is fine same as it was the last time you turned me down when i answered your ad before

32 yr old bass player looking to join form metal band in london area into tons of different stuff=slayer ...dream theater..... mastodon..... opeth.....symphony x......old sepultura ect and tons more have a cd out with the band im in at moment [url="http://www.myspace.com/jethou"]www.myspace.com/jethou[/url] thanks jamie

not quite at the band mate stage but went to try out for a band and cos was travelling to a dodgy part of london took my old yamaha rbx374 instead of my mim precision and before i even intoroduced myself the drummers words were " you cant be in this band unless you use fender" i promptly turned on my heels and f**ked off. they are still looking for a bassist now. wonder why

once again guys thanks for all your responses i love this place..even twats like me get given peoples time

thanks for all your comments

i know a few scales stuff like that and i do love the learning part it just fries my brain lol and to reply to what warwickhunt said im sure i read somewhere once in an interview once where steve harris said he didnt know hardly any theory i would never put the man down he is the master

hi guys i love playing bass but most theory goes way over my head.4ths 5ths ect leaves my bamboozled. my question is do you really need a vast knowledge of theory to enjoy music my band has a cd out althought not ground breaking i have always just played by ear and play what sounds good to me. I wouldnt know if i was playing bass chords or just playing with myself. i suppose im just insecure in the fact that if i dont know every bit of theory going ill never make it as a decent bass player my 2 favourite bassists are john myung who knows the bass inside out and the other is steve harris who even though is an absolute monster on the bass would admit to not having much knowledge of theory id love to here some of your opinions jamie

welcome mate load of good advice on here plus dicks like me who know f*** all

[u]i gotta buy some batts for the camrea then i will promise lol[/u] [u]i would have preffered one with a maple board but this one was reduced cos some dick dinged the body while trying it out so it had 50 quid knocked off woo hoo[/u]

1.steve harris- the man who got me interested in the bass 2.duff mckaggen-always loved that chorus ladden tone and back when i was 12 looked cool as hell 3.cliff burton-dude was mesmerising how he could shred on a bass 4.geddy lee-could never play his bass lines let alone sing as well 5.john myung-guy plays with such a finesse very underated

just like to say after years of haveing cheaper basses ie ibanez gsr ect i today bought my first fender precision olympic white body rosewood neck im as excited as oliver reed getting locked in a boozer just thought i would share my child like glee

even though i got jm as my avatar im not im not jealous at all got my tickets for wembley saw them in wolvehampton they was epic hope the meet and greet is as awesome as it sounds jamie

32 yr old bassist looking for metal bands tons of influences have contacts at metal hammer and terrorizer so some decent supporting slots await cheers jamie

yeah it came with some batt i have never heard of so was changing it toa new duracell one when i tried it without

cheers thought there was something wrong with it but alas no its just me being a complete dick

i know this is gonna sound stupid as hell i have just bought an ibanez sr300 my first bass with active electronics obviously it have the battery in the back which i took out to change earlier but i didnt get no sound from my bass my ? is do i need the battery in to achieve sound i thought i would still be able to get sound without the battery in even of a weaker signal thanks jamie

hands healed ages ago thought could have give it a shot
