  1. [size=4]Checkout some function and cruise band videos on youtube as well, I've just been checking a few out and they really show what this video is lacking.[/size]

    Plus, as others have said, a good guitar player would compliment what you've already got and take the sound to another level.

    Liked the bass playing a lot by the way!

  2. I just like their music, their approach to making it is interesting but I don't get why so many almost write them off as novelty act (not so much on here but I've seen that mentioned a lot on other boards). What's novelty got to do with it? you either like it or you don't regardless of how it's played or by how many musicians.

  3. My biggest regret as a bass player (which lead to technical deficiencies) was being so blinkered as a beginner. Everything I learned was pretty much the day to day stuff I already liked listening to, just broadening my musical horizons and going wherever I could find great bass lines regardless of era or genre was something I didn't pickup on for so long :([size=4] [/size]

  4. I wonder how their direct to consumer retail move is working for them? I know more stores in the US are baulking at their unrealistic demands, I don't think
    cutting out the middle man would compensate enough for a decreasing presence in retail stores.

  5. Think Hurley was the only album where I couldn't find anything to like. I love a lot of their stuff but the percentage of filler per album has really been creeping up.

    Saw them live at Leeds a few years ago and they were so much fun, playing the hits and looking like they were genuinely having a great time doing it, some fun covers
    and Rivers legging it through the crowd and climbing over a fence, I've rarely seen a band enjoying themselves so much.

    Was a refreshing change from some bands [size=4]I've seen who almost seem to resent the songs that got the where they are. [/size]

  6. The issue seems to be that you are unable to distinguish between your opinion and actual facts, nothing to do with strong opinions.

    I wish Gibson would put out some lefty gear, would love a Grabber, Ripper , RD or Thunderbird, they make some great looking basses. That's just my opinion though :P

  7. Got my ebay BDI21 today, feels weightier and more substantial than I expected it to for the price.
    Haven't had that long to play with it but I like it a lot so far, really easy to dial a nice sound, I really
    didn't expect a pedal at this end of the market to be anywhere near as good as it is, it'd still seem
    like a solid piece of kit for several times the price!

  8. [quote name='The Admiral' timestamp='1411388494' post='2558957']Life's too short for dealing with this kind of sh*t[/quote]

    I think that's what it boils down to for me as well, you don't need three months of crap and I'd be surprised if you didn't already feel like you've had a weight lifted from your shoulders.

    Onwards and upwards! :)[size=4] [/size]

  9. I nearly bought one from Ishibashi's Ubox, theyve got a black lefty at the moment with chrome controls and a matching headstock for just over £300, not including import duty.

    Seems like a bargain and it looks so damn good!
