Shogun is great, but not sure it's quite up there, I mean if you asked someone with a rudimentary grip of music to name a song by Iron Maiden.....Run to the Hills...or Metallica...Enter Sandman....these aren't ,in my opinion, these band s best songs by a looooong way, but they are bon fide classics that have allowed these bands to get to a level that is clearly way above any metal band since.
To counter my own argument, Slipknot have managed to achieve a massive following and rightfully headline festivals ( also Rammstein, so perhaps I am just an old fart talking crap!!)

Maybe Trivium are just popular with a younger crowd I know a few younger than me that got into guitar playing because of that one album! What do I know however? I'm just a twenty one year old that should have been around in the 80's!

OT: To the guy that mentioned Bloodshot Dawn. That first album is a cracking little album and it was a risky move giving it away for free with Terrorizer but it paid off bigtime. They were ace opening at Bloodstock last year.

Evil Scarecrow are worth a watch live also.

Here's a related question though, there are obviously still some very good metal bands around, from all sub genres of the all encompassing "Metal" tag, but who is going to be the next BIG metal band....I mean Maiden, Metallica, Pantera, Anthrax, Slipknot style big, or is that an outdated idea, will there never be another metal band who is an instant headline choice at festivals, and who can sell out a few dates at Wembley? It looked a while back that [b]Trivium were the heir apparents to Metallicas throne, but they never really had that seminal song/album that the old school metal bands did.[/b]
I must admit that as I've got older I've leaned back more to heavy rock rather than metal, so not as up on the scene as I used to be,but still love an occassional dabble in extreme noise, and would hate for the genre to slip quietly away......

Shogun?

Looks lovely, how does it compare to the Vintage Modified Squiers?

Cool, got it.

What would you do if there's an unmarked cab at a gig/rehersal? Set the ohmage switch to the lowest setting?

What I really really want is a great, original, powerful metal band....BUT with a singer who actually sings....not a grunt/screamer. Don't have to be all operatic, cos that gets on my nerves too, but Hetfield style, even some Anselmo stuff is great, but enough with the wierd noises!!!!

Neonfly if you like older styles of Metal.

Some great advice, just concerned because I saw an orange promotional video in which Doug Doppler claimed that it would do 500 Watts on either ohmage setting.

I'm assuming that's when the cabs at 500W plus or am I wrong?

Use anyone except Hermes and Yodel.

Also, I love stores using DPD but I think you need a business account to use them.

Fisheth.

Welcome!

Andertons have them at that price also!

Cool helpful as always!

I'll keep on hunting for cabs then!

Thanks guys,

I just thought the OBT did 500 watts no matter what ohmage you were plugged into, or has that been proven to be hogwosh?

Thanks for the advice!

400 watts, right gotcha. So it won't blow up in my face if I'm losing less than 500 but by 400?

Hey guys, so I just bought the Bass Terror and I'm now hunting for a cab, just for practices and stuff. Got a couple of things in mind, but that doesn't really matter.

Have had some conflicting answers on this, but my question is: As long as the ohmage matches I'm safe to use the OBT with any cab? As it comes in a cute little gig bag, I'm kinda wondering if I'm safe to get it to gigs, plug it into a house cab and then go.

Or is this not safe?

Cheers.

I personally don't care who's name is scrawled on stuff, just interested if it sounds any good. Cheap, bad products with a dead persons name on? Never stopped Fender .

Or Dean, but lets get back to bass stuff.

Interested in how this sounds!

This isn't helping the GAS I have for one of these...

Looks tasty. Thanks for all the info, really helps considering these are a lot and not all of us can try them in person.

I might just have more GAS.

Posts like this are unhelpful with GAS.

If I put lots of brackets on the wall it would look empty and you know what that means..

+1 Having a hard time saving for the Sandberg that I was wanting with all these lovely basses about.

I think he means the price, considering his avatar shows him holding a Squier he's probably not being snobbish
[/quote]

Anything but! I love these Squiers! I'd love a proper Fender though.

If reports for this bass are good I'll probably nab one by the end of the year!

They don't have block inlay's do they? The Geddy Lee's might, but I'm sure the Harris bass doesn't have those.

That's ok if you like Ibanez etc. I love Fender P basses. I have quite a collection already. USA, Japan.

If it's no good, I'll send it back
[/quote]

Yeah, customer support is solid.

Looking forward to hearing some reports on this bass before I purchase one!

That's a cracking tone, but It's not the sort of sound I go for.

To be honest, I think at the moment a lot of the starter kit has got so much better from when I started playing guitar.

I'd avoid Encore though.

I am tempted by one though...

Been an Arry fan ever since I was small!

Edit: Wasn't trying to troll or anything, I was just looking at what was available on the used market and there's stuff like Prestige Ibanez's at that pricepoint.
Also heard some pretty spotty things about some of Fender's quality control, but every company seems to have issues at somepoint.

Is it worth it, considering it's a MIM?

I need a room like that for my growing collection!
