d-basser

and to think i was worried i hadnt used enough bubble wrap and padding around my bass that is in a hardcase (philster dont worry i did, I am just paranoid) I dont understand how anyone could just chuck a bass in a bag for postage, there sould be a restraining order slapped on them keeping them from harming any innocent instruments in future

my Dingwall was relatively cheap but I am a lucky b*gger, out of my limited experience Dingwalls are the best by far, the fanned frets/compound scale length works really well across the extended range giving a tight powerful B and a sweet high C

argh I have a ticket and forgot to go!!! finished work, made my dinner then suddenly remembered! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh stupid stupid stupid

first little bit of moonlight sonanta or a bit of country music is always good.

were do you get tickets? how much? were in Glasgow is it?

DR strings, bit of grunty overdrive, compression, dig in like f*ck. alot of it is just playing attitude

I used to wear pink ear muffs (because i told my girlfriend i needed ear protection onstage) a kilt and once played with a soft toy minkey strapped to my bass we also once played supported by a proggy band and their guitarist got carried away and started sliding his guitar neck off the edge of the stage and acting like a tool so i finished one of our songs by picking up a cymbal stand and using it as a slide

I have been trying to learn Unleash by Soulfly by ear, think it was probably a drop D 4 string originally but works well on a 5 and has a great wee bass bit about 2.30min into the song.
