[quote name='simondee' post='208636' date='May 29 2008, 09:41 AM']I just did a gig with a thrash band called the quarry to fill in for their bassist who's in the middle of leaving due to wifey commitments.

Tons of fun but everything was tuned down to drop C# and I *really* needed a five string for it.

We play mostly in drop B so my bass has a 135 on the top and standard gages on the way down, just makes things a bit tighter.

Tanks very much, although the stuff on our myspace have to be 2 years old....

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='208433' date='May 28 2008, 10:17 PM']Metal's about the only thing I would refuse to play.

Well, that and country. If I had a choice of playing metal, playing country, or shagging Beth Ditto I'd pick country.[/quote]

Why you in here then??? you shure you dont have a secret metal desire ?

[quote name='thewalruswaspaul' post='205954' date='May 25 2008, 01:28 PM']Never a wiser word spoken on this forum , once you start thinking about other basses you will find you're never content with what you have , plus you will find you spend more time on the forums than actually playing[/quote]

Uh, me plays some Mmmmmmetal too...
If you count Metallica and Dream Theater as metal..


And, btw, thinking of auditioning to some Modern Metal band.. I love Prog.[/quote]

Dream Theater! good on ya, i've herd thats quite hard stuff lol
p.s. prog all the way!

Maybe originally but JC's lines are allot more complex than they used to be (not a bad thing) not sure that Paul D'Amour could cope with the new stuff.

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='208391' date='May 28 2008, 09:18 PM']I play metal. The riff the guitarist plays inspire me to follow the root notes exactly, otherwise he threatens to punch me in the face and turn his octaver on.[/quote]

lmfao

sorry was that over the top haha check out my band in my sig[/quote]

Did you ever get those dc's in you 6er?

nice to see some faces in here lol

Well.. Do ya?

And what bass riffs inspire you?

Can i just tell everyone i dont hate Fender it was just a question...

And i said that crez because its pritty rare on here to find someone who doesnt love them.

[quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='208036' date='May 28 2008, 01:55 PM']To turn the question around why would someone get an ESP viper rather than a Gibson or Epiphone SG-shaped Bass?[/quote]

Ahhh i was wondering when someone you spot that...
Mainly Body profile,
stock with EMG's,
good weight distribution,
on-board eq,
nicer headstock,
Gotoh hardware.


But yea i get your point... and its a good one.

Gibson never came into the equation when i thought about a pro bass because i new the ESP was better.

Has no one voted for Justin Chancellor yet?

Wow your not sticking up for fender! hats off.

A thrash metal band called OZENA (nasal leprosy) our fist gigs where in a battle of the bands to decide who play at a biker festival which we won. (to our surprise) Then the guitarist f***ed it all up.

Can i just say that everyones makes really good points!

But don't you think its a bit cheeky that everyone else nicks the shape? im sure that Leo's humbled buy the amount of manufactures that produce a P or J.... but its a bit lazy.

Im not saying i don't like Fenders i fancy an aerodyne for myslef... and i have no doubt in my mind that GB make a better 'Fender' than Fender buy using far more expensive woods and better joining techniques but surely they could have changed the general shape... its just sometimes people get addicted to the shape and its on that promise that GB use the design.

and yet still choose a Fender shape??? (Different)

I have never understood why people buy copy fenders.... not that i am a huge fan but it seems to me (outsider) that Fender came up with their perfect bass and every other luthier copied the plan to get some sales.... and everyones buying into it... surely if you want a fender buy a fender?

If you want a different sound shove some better pups in...

And if its the expense, theres always the Squires... not that there anything special but surely its better to keep it in the family...

What you need are some black strings, cursed by the devil.

P.S. get an official statement form the person who cursed them as they might need topping up after a few gigs!

Meh

Bump... its an awsome combo, ideal as a powerful practice amp!

Very nice but....meh
