Yeah, thats him ! They are really really good and yeah the singer does look like Daltrey If youre looking fora decent The Who tribute band then these are the guys you should see

I went to see these guys about a week ago, they cover The Who (if the name wasnt too obvious) The bassist was really tight and just generally impressive Didnt know what to make of his orange Bongo though Anyone else seen these guys before ?

[quote name='Buzz' post='187240' date='Apr 28 2008, 02:24 PM']Cat-face ?[/quote] LOL cheers for the input guys. keep em coming speding the best part of tonight trying to find something

Ive got a new band and were really stuck for a name. We want a one word creation and we need it pretty soon due to a massive level of interest we have gained since forming. We play a strange, unique mix of Progressive/Groove/Southern/Melodic metal. Mastodon as the closest thing we can compare it to sound-wise. I'd really appreciate some help here as we have been looking for a name for ages and its becoming a bit of a nightmare. It dosent have to be anything obviously metal ( we want to avoid any stereotypical "brutal" names e.g. decapitated). So yeah any suggestions would be a huge help ! Cheers!

Welcome Lex, your streamers are awesome.

[quote name='Mr Cougar' post='152662' date='Mar 6 2008, 08:24 PM']I have found is that many bass players assume they have to play with a heavy pick "cos they are for bass" but you should get a whole pile of them and try different types and thicknesses.[/quote] +1 I have only ever used picks but am starting to learn to use my fingers I find the best pick for me is a Dava control, but i also like using the stubby triangles from time to time

If I can get there ,which is pretty much 50/50 atm ill bring my ESP B-254 ( not too interesting i know, just felt like i needed to contribute somehow )

HAHA sorry, I totally missed that somehow Its a vintage Peavey rig that consists of: 1 x Peavey Mark v111 Bass head 2 x 2x10 vintage peavey cabs (cant remember the model number) cheers Dan

Im sat in college trying to avoid coursework so i thought id write a follow up to my recording tips thread and an explanation of the band's situation now Right so heres the score Just after we booked the dates for recording, we parted ways with our guitarist who was impossible to work with. Our reviews at the time were pretty much stating that we sounded like killswitch engage / machine head. Anywho .. the recording didnt happen as we broke up soon after this and went on a break and I felt pretty bummed about the whole situation. So, last Tuesday the drummer, one remaining guitarist and I went for a jam in a local studio and some kind of magic happened. We wrote a 4 minute song which completely pisses on everything we had done before and has the sound of old school Metallica but in straight D. After being completely blown away with this practice, we decided that waiting for the next tuesday wasnt an option so we went back to the practice studio on the friday. After 20 minutes of playing old stuff including the song from the tuesday before, we started jamming a riff that in an hours time would be another awesome song. I never thought it would be the case, but a break was the best thing to happen to us and are now forming a fresh band with a new lead guitarist and vocalist . Were now left looking for a vocalist (Swindon) who is influenced by old school thrash/metal/hardcore. And now, we are finally going into the studio during mid April ! Cheers to everyone who has given their advice, im looking forward to putting it into practice. Dan

A realllllllyy late reply, so much so that i have a new band ! The rig is awesome, sounded better than a 2 grand Trace Elliot rig And much MUCH louder The weight is fine , its perfect in every way, except from a knackered switch here n there Bargain for £300 ill do a review thing soon i guess

£140 :0 ouch ....

In the name of god - Dream theater

Any ideas on ones that are easier to play than the average 6er ? , I need a narrow, and slim neck too...and short scale if its possible (not a huge issue though) [i]I have a wanted post going too if anyone is selling one around £250-£300 (and abviously less ) that matches the description above[/i] What sorta stuff should I look for, I have been advised a Peavey Grind or Cirrus 6er so far ? I play mainly pick bass by the way if that counts out any strange bridge designs. I have been searching for a few weeks now, but once again I thought I would ask around here for some proper advice Cheers !

Okay so its the debut of my new rig bought from a friend of Bassdad ( who was brilliant by the way - thanks mate) I Just thought id get ready to give it a proper review tomorrow cheers
