I've never seen him gig with anything else. Liam [/quote] But Beadie Eye, for instance, had 2 Marshall Plexis, 2 Marshall bass heads and 8x10s and 2 vox AC30s; Bellamy had his own amp and The Who had their own backline - seems odd that CW would be the only one to be handed something that wasn't his choice - so perhaps he's made the shift to Ampeg live?

[quote name='LiamPodmore' timestamp='1344875405' post='1770502'] Was one of his Statii, i think all of his Status basses have LED's don't they. On another CW related note, as i mentioned in another thread earlier, the fact that they dumped an SVT and 810 behind him made me laugh, especially as i don't think it was even plugged in. Liam [/quote] Wasn't there a picture of him in the studio recently playing a Status that also had an SVT next to him?

I rather like both of those

This sounds great, if I thought I could commit to the time requirements the band would need I'd be after an audition, good luck with the search

I love my Tribute L2000, it's the one bass I wouldn't part with

Also, a bit cheaper and more likely than my other list, I'd love a go on a Sandberg Basic

Wal MkII Fender '64 Precision Fender '57 Precision Gibson '74 Ripper Warwick Buzzard Would probably be my list, other stuff too but I think that's the Euromillions list

Anything that involves US export controls is a nightmare, as an aside, Gibson should be glad they don't have to deal with anything that's dual use or ITAR controlled

[quote name='sixdegrees' timestamp='1344254114' post='1761691'] I read about this bass quite a while ago (BGM?). Nate went back to Fender before they recorded the last album and has also been touring with Fenders. I hope that clears up the Lakland issue. Apparently, the neck will be the most 'signature' thing about the bass. Back when his bass was made ('73?) the necks were planed by hand and therefore varied a great deal. Nate's neck falls directly between a Jazz and a Precision in terms of nut width and profile. [/quote] That's cool, I really liked his tone on Wasting Light, though a lot of that will be the all tube Ashdown (I assume from the sleeve) he used

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1344192255' post='1761039'] Not so worried about leads but I've seen a few people think its ok to put a drink on my amp whilst they Pratt about with whatever there doing [/quote] That drives me mad, "you got 2 grand to replace my amp if your drink falls over? No? Then get it off my amp"

[quote name='Evil Undead' timestamp='1344151052' post='1760347'] I love System Of A Down, especially their older stuff, but I've never learned any because they use drop C [/quote] First SOAD album is a binder, but yup, never learned anything from it

He used an early 70s precision for years and I think he swapped over to Lakland for touring to look after the Fender. The whole AIDS denial thing really bothers me too, particularly as he seems to be the one in the band most involved in it. And especially as musically, he's one of my biggest influences these days.

I know exactly what you mean, there's plenty of bands I love but have never learned any of their tracks because of daft tunings and I have a bass in B. For example, Mastodon are one of my absolute favourite bands but I've never learned any of their material

Yup, other band members completely oblivious to anything that isn't a guitar or a microphone (drummers seem to be more considerate / aware) or worse, drunk punters wandering onto the stage and swaying remarkably close to your pedal board.

I guess this is the right place for this, found it on Facebook, no good for me, but I'm sure someone might be interested [url="http://www.facebook.com/LoungeBarAlton/posts/10151977062985611"]http://www.facebook....151977062985611[/url]
