DDTs are my favourite strings, but they are not low tension. They are made to retain tension when downtuning, so less floppy than others.

Using a good wet and dry signal mix, the wet chain using some overdrive and envelope effect. Made in a proper studio the original could have been anything at all realy, anybody know who played and who produced it?

[quote name='Rich' timestamp='1506229398' post='3377143'] The Clash were a great band. The Pistols were a marketing exercise. [/quote] Even so the pistols functioned as an icebreaker for other punk vessels.

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1506023935' post='3376012'] I was thinking about something like this with a hole in: Plectrum Medals Coins (1962 coin for a 1962 bass?) [/quote] That wouldn't be for me, but I'm sure some people will love it.

Loxx are good and have an increasing range of designs.

Mediocre middle-of-the-road rock wins over bass avant-garde. You guys are so OLD

+2 Dr's DDT I use a heavy set on my SR5, the B dropped to A.

[quote name='DJpullchord' timestamp='1505635854' post='3373219'] It's all subjective though innit. [/quote] It is. Primus is the first band in this list I'd disagree with. For their unique sound and approach to making music they never really hit the charts big time or filled stadiums. How are they overrated?

Looks like a UK exclusive, that's me out. Bloody Br***t!

That, or the Roland...

[quote name='RockfordStone' timestamp='1505378656' post='3371396'] this is such a hard one, because its so subjective. some people will say a band is overrated, but the size of its fan base shows otherwise. [/quote] Isn't that exactly what is meant by overrated?

Jamerson & Pino. Not bad, but heavily overrated around here.

How do your balls rest sideways?

d. All of the above

All very good reasons, thanks!

In what situation does a drummer need to hear vocals? Is he on backing vox duty?

[quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1488833868' post='3252263'] And the horror continues into the body. Also the G string hangs over the edge of the headstock. Very poor. [attachment=239889:Washburn bass.jpg] [/quote] The D and G are wound the wrong way round, easy mistake to make.

I'd have prefered a 3+2 layout.

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1504392050' post='3364633'] I'm afraid I'm filing this in the Yet Another Pointless List section. I think I'd be more interested if Scott came up with a list of 100 Songs To Play Before You Die. [/quote] Nah, 20 would be different versions of MustHangSally, 10 Moondance etc.

[quote name='Dan Dare' timestamp='1504300588' post='3364056'] Agree with Dood re DT770s. I'm a user/fan, too. A decent set of closed back cans is the only economical way to get accurate, extended bass reproduction from the average home hi-fi system. Not annoying the neighbours - low frequencies travel through building structures a treat - is an added bonus. [/quote] Compare them back to back with Sennheiser's HD25-1, I didn't get on with the DT770. Best thing you can do is visit several(!) audio shops, your macbook in hand for a listen. Check different types of configuration, active studio monitors (are for close range listening) vs bookshelf speakers (on good stands) vs pillar-like floorstanders. Keep a log of what's what and your likes and dislikes and evaluate after properly exploring your option. The quest is half the fun Subs are for feeling air move, not for hearing. Fun when watching action flicks but otherwise not much use for music. Good luck and have fun!

[quote name='ivansc' timestamp='1503566693' post='3359166'] Oops I should have said wrong way ROUND. Probably astill not obvious to spot any discrepancies I suppose. [/quote] Depends on the direction of the wind I would think. Or am I reading this wrong?

"North and South" featuring Patrick Swayze, "Roots", everyone in "Dukes of Hazard" is white, even Star Trek did episodes on it, Django by Tarantino. All examples where you might have picked up a certain negative vibe. The confederate battle flag is a symbol for 'rebels' to rally to like the swastika for nazis, the Daesh flags for Isis, etc.

Sacred Reich - War Pigs Only cover I know that beats the original.

MXR bass comp on always, set to little compression and medium limiting, miss it when it's off. Placed it after envelope filter and before preamp to catch spikes and broad sweeps.
