  1. Always take mine off unless I'm just noodling about at home because it clatters up the G-string. I'm not even going to apologise for saying that. It sits with my car keys at rehearsal, and either with my wife or in my ear plug case which lives in a gig bag pocket at shows.
  2. Indeed. Its a skill unto itself. Slight derail.... I only recently discovered that the electronic "beep beep boop beep" type click is trumped by a real marmite tone...cowbell! It works for me better than an electronic beep because its more percussive. Since to me it doesn't fit, it stands out more. I've also used a mix of click, drums and in one case I needed the vocal too for some odd reason...
  3. I probably know some of the bands you are talking about, but I wouldn't even try to guess from your posts...
  4. Do you have your ridiculously tall flag? If not...are you even doing it right?
  5. Found him! Derek Boyer from Suffocation. Bass is like a stretched Warlock body, five string headless multiscale...
  6. That's the guy! Just got to find his name now...
  7. Nope that's not the guy. The bloke I am looking for has long hair, and the band is heavier than overkill.
  8. Scrolling through the multitude of mind-numbingly pointless videos on Instrgram a while ago I saw a video of a bass player in a pretty heavy metal / thrash band playing something like a stretched Warlock shape bass, with one of the spikey-horn-bits resting on the floor. Can't remember the name of the band or the player. I have 'Decapitated' in my head (see what I did there?) but its not them...and the name 'Derek' for some reason. Anyone know who this is? Fairly sure I didn't dream it...
  9. How do, I am hoping that someone on here currently owns a Sandberg Cali VM5. I need a couple of measurements, if you would be so kind: Distance from 12th fret to centre line of P pickup Distance from 12th fret to centre line of MM pickup. The background - I am in the build queue for a custom-build (not Sandberg) using a 35" scale, with the MM / P pickup arrangement and need some dimensions for pickup placement. Ta kids!
  10. I've recently used these folk a couple of times too. No problems at all
  11. I'm lucky enough to own some really nice basses...so in April I joined the 15+ month long build queue of a one-man-luthier in Finland...because one more can't hurt. Right? RIGHT?!??
  12. Hideous design...but what would I know? Most of my basses don't even have parallel frets...
  13. [cough] Dingwall NG series [cough] All the drop-tune-cool-kids use 'em now
  14. You can argue whether this counts as 'singing' or not...but...Tom Araya from Slayer. Dug P from King's X perhaps?
  15. I deal with Prop 65 on a nearly daily basis. Its just Californians being a bit sensitive. Sure the 5 or so things on the Prop 65 list are nasty, but its no worse that chemicals on the REACh or TSCA lists of doom. I view it akin to the "May contain nuts" warning on a Hazelnut Whirl... Just don't eat it and you will be fine.
