hmmm I really rate Ian Astbury as a singer so that could be interesting. I've always been a little 50/50 with Boris, Seen em live twice, once out-standing and once not so much. There recorded output i could take or leave. As for Shrinebuilder I guess it could never live up to the billing of its members full time bands but still a stonking slice of stoner rock/metal. Lovely with a cup of tea and a bun.

As my addiction to effects pedals grows my attention turns to a wah. I like the look of the Jim Dunlop Bass model (its white and shiny) but does the fact its made for bass make that much differnce or would a starndard old guitar one work just as well?
Thanks -
Yeah with the 8-string and the second guitarist both being new additions (only 1 song written on the 8 and none with 2nd guitar) I think with the band as a whole tone sculpting is next on the agenda, although with both the seven and the eight we are making a concious effot to not sound "djent" especially as our label is very involved with that. To be honest it wasn't really a rant or anything coz i love the band and won't be leaving soon, but i guess there probably is an element of "the current pencil-dicked metal trend of trying to play a bassier sounding guitar than everybody else" i'll pass that to our guitarist lol.
I may well have a look at a tube screamesque pedal after i relax my creditcard company after the last 4 pedals i bought, it's becoming a real addiction at the moment
On a lighter note this is the first muso forum i've been on with some refreshing appreciation of metal, the normal response i expected to a thread like this is "don't play f***ing metal then" or something similar. nice

This site makes chrome crash, constantly. I now use IE for this site only and chrome for everything else. Anything I can do to get this working on chrome?

So i've just joined here, looking some threads and so forth and I would like to see what you lot make of this.
My band has made a conscious effort to become a much deeper/heavier entity, we currently have 2 guitarists 1 who plays a 7-string and 1 who plays an 8-string. Both enjoy playing very low. We also have a keys/synth/noise chap who has a hard-on for bass and sub-bass freq's (not an issue in itself )
Which has kinda, without me thinking about it much, moved me higher up the register and I find myself playing alot more melody or "lead" style lines. I've always been a low-down in the pocket style of player so it's a fun challenge and something different but I wonder if anyone else has experience of playing in a band where everyone seems to want a piece of the low end?`

Greetings Earth Creatures, I have been playing bass on and off for about 10 years, seriously playing for about 4 years.
I currently have:
MusicMan Stingray 4 string
Ampeg B2-RE
SVT 2x10
SVT 1x15
As I become more intertwined into the world of prog (I am a metal bassist at heart) I've started increasing my use of effects which is becoming a problem. It is a very esoteric world one that I still understand little off. But i'm getting there, My current board is as follows:
input -> boss bass synth (soon to be updated - possibley a deep impact, but they are very expensive now) -> Big Muff Russian green (got this last week, so sexy) -> boss dd-7 delay - -> boss OD3
as I've started to understand more about what I want and like the boss pedals are slowly being upgraded. I think I want a chorus and limiter/enhancer next (to make up for my sometimes slack dynamics )
also over the last 2 years I've started to become a little more professional ( I am self taught - no lessons ever) and i've come across this forum afew times and thought it high times I involve myself in a community geared to towards the thing I spend 90% of my free time doing. BASS
oh and a link to my band -> www.myspace.com/betweenthescreams
Thanks

Also my introduction to doom was:
Big Black - Orange Goblin (okay a little more "stoner" that doom)
Electric Wizard - Dopethrone
Cathedral - Endtyme
A friend of mine had a well deserved hard-on for Rise Above - Blew my tiny little mind
