    Exactly this. They’ve made some great music and some not so great music collectively, separately, and in various other forms, and also been cool to each other and absolute jerks. That after all these years as they enter their twilight years they’re largely not even on speaking terms is very sad. Also (to the OP), it’s just the S from the group, but give the Manassas album a listen too while you’re on!

    Ugh, Durst et al. Anyway, the skinny is here it seems… https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/wes_borland_says_primus_inspired_4-string_guitar_he_uses_on_limp_bizkit_classic_isnt_sure_he_should_talk_about_how_courtney_love_behaved_in_studio.html

    Lars?

    Sad news and condolences to all who knew him. Really liked that he used to sign his posts of with “MB1”.

    Actually bought a very modded, very battered ‘76 Ripper off this guy some 15 years or so ago. It’s still with me and still modded and battered! Much of his stuff was overpriced back then. The Ripper wasn’t though! 😬😬😬

    On skimming this thread it seems the main question here is if a dead drummer can dep for an 80 year old drummer? I can confirm that is not possible.

    Essentially more affordable and (I believe) more readily available alternatives to Travis Bean or EGC.

    If you can’t bring yourself to, then you shouldn’t contemplate selling any of them. Simple as that. Nailed on you’ll regret it. Seems you’ve got all avenues and eventualities covered and love all 4 of them. Learn from the past. You’ve regretted what you’ve sold before so why put yourself back in that position again, especially when it’s clear you’re far from 100%. Four basses don’t take up much more room than 2 basses, it’s only 2 case widths…😀

    Not generally keen on headless basses, but that looks rather nice!

    Brilliant! Also saw them supporting SG. Tad was wearing a bright orange ten-gallon hat with GOD printed on the front. Not much else to say about that.

    Also, take the Jazzmaster off J Mascis and give him an acoustic. No Big Muff then, right? 0:35 for 10 seconds or so makes me laugh. Love it.

    At the heavier edge of what got lumped in with grunge, Tad were always great.

    I see Soame are knocking it out of the park again with the visuals...

    Bass iv

    mr4stringz replied to Storky's topic in Bass Guitars

    Can confirm the Rascals absolutely don’t come up very often. I’ve been scouting for one for 18 months or more and not a sniff. They were doing a CS version for a while also but that’s also gone now.

    Bass iv

    You might want to give Rebirth Custom Guitars a look. Sure I’ve seen some bass iv variants fairly recently on their IG or FB.

    Not read the whole thread so unsure if repeating anything said by anyone else but here’s my two penneth. Either/or... 1) Work with it and make it a feature of the band. In the heavyish realm at least Pantera stand out as a band that left the bass to do its thing under a solitary guitar, often even in the studio. 2) Add a second channel with a T-Rex Quint machine and some dirt, with the Quint set to 100% wet at an octave and also a fifth above. Both of the above have worked in bands I’ve been in, to my ears at least.

    I didn’t in the end, life got in the way! Also didn’t get as far as getting the price. It was (hopefully still is) at Cardigan Music Centre in lovely West Wales. Curious shop filled with wild and wonderful old instruments according to my daughter...

    Thanks so much all. And also, in terms of a support group I love that BC continues to be the opposite of the equivalent of the 12 step program. 🤣

    After posting I’m now fighting the urge to enquire further. This bloody site! 🤣🤣🤣

    Yup, looks about right. Nice one. It does actually look pretty damn cool in that pic!

    Any clue? Snapped by my daughter on holiday as she thought it may be of interest. It’s not really but unusual for me to have sight of something, even junk type stuff, I’ve not at least seen before.
  23. mr4stringz
    A root note.

    All excellent points made here. Here’s my experience - I’ve played with the same drummer (also my best mate) in bands on and off for 20 years. The two of us are always on the same page and live playing as a rhythm section together. When we decided to walk from our last band (the usual woolly no commitment or even minimum effort stuff from the other half of the band) we decided we could t keep putting up with the BS. We’re now a two piece, I’ve delved into pedals more to help make it work, stepped up to the mic for the first time ever and, despite not playing for 6 mths at all (and barely in over 12) I couldn’t be happier. Doubt I’ll ever play with other musicians now in a ‘proper’ band context now.

    Well, while we’re on...
