They've been pretty crap since Mark 'sacked' (ie assaulted) the band in New York in 1998 and Steve and the other decided they'd had enough. I used to have a massive discrepancy between the music I enjoyed listening to (Wire, the Fall, Talking Heads, Gang of Four, etc) and the music I enjoyed playing on my bass (the usual Jaco/Stanley fusion/funk stuff). The people who put the two together - ie played lines that I really enjoyed covering - were Norman Watt-Roy, Colin Moulding, Foxton, Dave Allen and [i][b]Bruce[/b][/i] Adamson. It's hard to take Graham Lewis from Wire too seriously because he was so pompous. And I'm not convinced that Tina Weymouth actually wrote many of the Heads lines, but could be wrong. Oh and the bloke from the Bunnymen was pretty good. I used to love playing 'Rescue' which had some funky little moments in it.[/quote] Do you mean [i][b]Barry[/b][/i] Adamson?

Pretty sure that the recommended relief for Rics is almost flat.

[quote name='skankdelvar' post='375799' date='Jan 10 2009, 12:03 AM']There's a gorgeous story about Ted Nugent firing up his colossal touring rig in the studio, hitting [i]one[/i] apocalyptically loud chord, passing out and falling backwards to the ground. As he lay there unconscious, the feedback was bouncing his (semi-acoustic) guitar around on his chest. The engineers found this hugely amusing and left him in there for some time before grudgingly pulling the mains power.[/quote] Ted Nugent: friend of animals everywhere...suicidal animals that is.

[quote name='YouMa' post='372303' date='Jan 6 2009, 06:57 PM']Just because he collected this does not make him a nazi,its just an interesting period of history.[/quote] Never said it did....whatever floats yer boat etc. I have a large collection of literature on the Holocaust but have yet to carry out any pograms.

[quote]Yeah,of course collecting anything political or 'Dark' in its nature is BAD. .....Old Red stars,Old Iron Crosses,signed pics of African Dictators,Serial killer artwork,bust's of Lenin, Old SS Daggers....anything to be associated with Crowley....Ernie Ball Sabre's.....makes all collectors of anything c**ts dosent it..all property is theft...[/quote] [quote name='small_lump_of_green_putty' post='372323' date='Jan 6 2009, 07:18 PM']Oh for god sake shut up.[/quote] ....succinct and to the point

[quote name='bremen' post='372100' date='Jan 6 2009, 03:30 PM']He was the good guy.[/quote] Well if you can say that a guy who had a fetish for wearing Nazi uniforms and collecting Nazi memorabilia, was the 'good guy' doesn't say much for the rest of the band Don't stop me from loving the Stooges though.

[quote name='pete.young' post='364079' date='Dec 27 2008, 10:27 AM']Anyhoo, what about this - a 3m guitar cable for £120 ? I've bought quite reasonable guitars for less.

Double.

Jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz...this is based on nowt but my loving the noise my jazz makes...not heard a Sub so my opinion is worth sh*t.

Any bass that doesn't either have a J, P or archtop shape. Call me old fashioned but a bass should look like a bass.

I ordered this for my Jazz :[url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FENDER-JAZZ-BASS-VARITONE-CONTROL-PLATE-WITH-SIDE-JACK_W0QQitemZ170289385224QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item170289385224&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1301|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318"]Varitone Jazz Bass Control[/url], looks pretty good and has a side jack which i need for the AM Dlx body i've got.

It's cliquey, over the top and full of total geeks who piss their pants over, it would seem, almost anything ...but yes, i am a member...don't post very often though...mainly because i can't be arsed and the fact that the latest discovery of a Jaco bass doesn't really do it for me...prefer this site as you guys are more 'real' to me.
