$18,000 more than the starting bid and it's been less than a full day since the bidding started. Crazy! Beautiful looking and sounding bass, not to mention the fact that' it's Claypools!

I think most people really know the best studios in their general area. Well...best or cheapest. Except Count Bassy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edW-GXWGbzY There are a lot of Lamb of God drum and bass videos on youtube. I think there are a few Metallica and Megadeth ones too.

I agree it's fairly boring and tedious, but I do like what he's trying to say.

Skip to 40 second mark. Sounds pretty much the same as the Muse song except with a layer taken out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSeNSzJ2-Jw&feature=relmfu I'm still looking forward to the Muse album though.

Found this, thought I'd share. Apologies if someone else has already posted it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKAHDALZKhg&feature=g-vrec

3. Dammit!

People generally forget who I am and just refer to me by stating "he plays bass". I'm sure that doesn't count but I have been called a bassist by a few people, one of which was a bass tutor and the other being a drummer who jammed with Mark King at one point a few months ago.

I feel like I've missed something which would have actually been worth seeing at this time of [s]night[/s] morning

Bought a cd off sam, arrived well packaged and quick! Would recommend!

I agree. I love drop tunings but due to owning only one bass, changing tunings is really not a possibility (except drop D or D Standard, I can just get away with them). It's really annoying because a band that I'm wishing to play in (just need to all find time to get together) plays in Drop A

If anybody knows of a chippy that still sells a deep fried mars bar, I would like to know. Been looking for bloody years!

+1 for Ketchup! Great wee place!

I will say this, Glasgow city centre isn't as bad as people assume (infact, I fairly enjoy going there), but venture out into some of the other places like Maryhill and some stereotypes will come into effect.

Generally when I'm in Glasgow my main objective is to get out of Glasgow. Saying that, there are a few nice pubs, Maggie Mays being the main one that springs to mind. There is also places like TGI Fridays etc.

Breaking and slowing it down generally works for me. Although saying that, I've been trying to 'sweep pick' for about 7 months now and still can't do it. I'd never use it, I just like the idea of being able to do it and shut up any over-confident guitarists I may play with in the future.

Rotosound strings are the only ones I've tried that I actually really disliked. I love the sound of brand new, fresh and clanky strings. The rotosounds I bought (I think it was the swing strings? Orange box) lost the nice new sound within 10 hours of playing. Probably the only brand of strings I wouldn't buy.

I really don't care what a band wears when going on stage really. The only gig I've ever been to where I was there to see a show as well as listen to the music was Rammstein. I think too many bands go for image over music which is something I really really detest the idea of.

Just sold my 9V Power supply to Damon, no problems whatsoever, quick and easy payment!

Gone.

[quote name='TomWIC' timestamp='1343288962' post='1748232'] Paul Gray; when I was a kid I had no interest no music at all, let alone playing an instrument. It wasn't until a school mate lent me the self-titled Slipknot album that I fell in love with the low end. I credit me playing bass to Paul Gray entirely and was devastated when he died. Jeordie White/Twiggy; Around the same time as I heard Slipknot for the first time, I also heard Marilyn Manson. Still to this day, my style of playing and my early use of root/octave and sliding techniques are plucked from Twiggy, as well as my love for Thunderbirds. [/quote] There's something about Twiggy I've always loved as well. I feel like he knows exactly what to play and when, especially on Thirteenth Step by A Perfect Circle. Really under-rated musician in my opinion.

Basically exactly what Truckstop said. Martinie has been my main inspiration when it comes to playing ever since I started and after a few months of not listening to them, I went back and realized just how much of an inspiration he's been on me. Superb bassist.
