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]

Thanks, clearly I've been a bit dim and tried to make it more complicated than it was

Sorry all, I'm sure this has been covered many times over, but I've searched a fair bit and can't find an answer that works - can anyone help me? The only thing I could find was to use [/media] tags which didn't work in the preview window. Cheers

I remember in my old metal band driving back from rehearsal once with Iron Maiden on the stereo and realising one of my fills could've been lifted from 2 Minutes To Midnight; I'very always enjoyed Maiden but never really considered 'Arry an influence.

There's a couple if Zeplin covers I really like: No Quarter by Crowbar Dazed And Confused by Cave In I'll try and get some links up later
