What do you class as a versatile bass ? Never mind - I just saw your Enfield thread. Looks brilliant.

Good luck man. That's some nasty sh*t.

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1455132701' post='2976330'] Pretty much what I was just about to post [/quote] This.

I call myself Steve. I play a bass guitar. Couldn't give a f*** what anybody else thinks.

For me, there's just nothing like the trouser flapping power you get from a fully cranked bass. It just feels - wonderful. I play guitar as well but bass just rocks. Plus all my schoolboy heroes played bass (Simonon, Burnell etc.)

So to sum up: last in, can't play, unpopular, sh*tty attitude. Sack him or the whole band will crash. Seriously.

That's sh*t man. Hope you get it back. Will keep an eye out.

A bass is not cool. The person playing it is or is not cool. Cool does not describe inanimate objects.

Personally I wouldn't sell unless I absolutely had to for financial reasons.

Ibanez. I love the look, feel and sound of them . Great value for money

Moonage Daydream or Sound and Vision. Or a whole bunch of others too numerous to mention. Always loved the Laughing Gnome as well.

Band went through a rough patch last summer then I had spinal surgery in September. Haven't played a note since and really struggling to find the will to pick it up again . Guess I just got lazy. Need a boot up the arse I think and it's coming in the form of my singer calling down next Sunday to discuss the future. It sucks because for so long it was my main focus and I seem to have lost it completely.

I'm afraid I am a fan of Jack White. If that makes me an asshole so be it. I presume the article was written with a fair amount of tongue in cheek, otherwise the writer is the greatest asshole of them all and a judgemental prick.

Lemmy lived the rock n roll lifestyle many would love to emulate. He made it to 70 still touring with his true love, Motorhead. He lived and died on his own terms and never apologised for it . f***in legend.

Don't rule out Ibanez. The GSR 200 is great for the money.

I like 'buckers for heavy grunt and singles for clarity. Depends on my mood. I have heard people say you can't play metal on a Tele : bullshit. It's all about eq and proper control of your rig. Just as it is with bass.

War Pigs by Sabbath?

I have listened to some of his stuff but it does nothing for me. Obviously a very gifted musician but it's just not for me. I will try again some time, maybe his less jazzy stuff will appeal more.

Played the Limelight in Belfast on Saturday evening. Only our third gig with our new drummer so I was well pleased with the review we got, which can be read here if you are interested. We are RedEye by the way. http://belfastmetalheadsreunited.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/live-review-storming-set-of-hard-rockin.html

The Pavilion in Belfast last night. Went really well. Debuted a new song and got nothing but compliments. Well pleased.

Does anyone have a tab for this Raconteurs song? Any help gratefully received.

Just seen what appears to be a good deal on a Ltd b 334. Looks like a lovely bass, could be tempted. Anyone got one or played one? £249 new but I can't try it out.

The UX1 can also use POD farm or other sims like Amplitube. Nice looking deal on the bundle btw.

Fantastic idea - I'm in. 4 strings all the way!

Hope it's OK man.
