RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

[quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1377530296' post='2188513'] Here's where I think an alternative comes in: not using a looper connected to a bass, but building a loop without bass parts on a Kaossilator or similar, and then playing bass to it. It's like a band who never get tired of letting you practise and/or develop ideas. Me, I love it. I just make something impromptu on a Kaossilator, and then [b]must[/b] find something to do on the bass to go with it. I find that challenging and fun. This may not teach me to play bass, but at least I'm having fun whilst not learning to play the bass. [/quote] I do that also om my ikaossilator

Omg!

I heard a few people say, take it to guitar tech who will change nut and adjust truss rod.

I like that. Very Blackie Lawless

If you classify Jovi/Leppard as metal,(as MTV /tour promoters did in the 8os) then yes metal is pop. Metal has been more fashionable and diverse from the late'80s onwards.Back in the '70s Zep was (wrongly) classified as metal and never got any daytime radio .Same as Sabbath. More bands are rappynmetal,such as chillis/FNM and their influences were metal. I find that if you look for rock covers bands , it seems to be people who love Free/Jovi/Foo Fighters and slash.

I have a boss foot pedal type looper which I've hardly used. I am thinking of getting a rack version instead, as I am very lazy with effects. I have been recording bits on sound cloud over the last year or so. Tbh, since recording on GarageBand I have forgotten about it. Loopers are great for us bedroom players . I think they can prove your playing and timing .

Schecter

Saw it halfway brought on the ted button. Very tight . Have only got American idiot and one single. I thought they were a 3piece.

Bloody hell! I am now redder than a beet root bass;) Thanks for all the kind words,and of course you are all highly reccomended .

Top bloke .Very friendly , knows his stuff . My schecter has gone to a good home.Great. Basschatter;)

Thanks for that . I'm keeping my bass amp (g alien Krueger ). I think the sound of a proper bass amp can't really be beat. I get lazy when it comes to the multi fx , and find I don't use them much.

anybody done this, or similar ?

Decisions , decisions. Not gigging anymore,and I find the pod farm pretty good for effects(tho 'not many bass ones)....

[quote name='Salt on your Bass?' timestamp='1377192742' post='2184661'] Yup, as above. Not sure on your budget but for valve stuff, combo, I'd consider mesa walkabout, orange, ebs (not sure if there's a valve in there). Additionally, maybe consider separates such as genz Benz, gk and Tc electronics....... For starters! [/quote] Yeah, walkabout scout. Also aguilar. Was gonna say GK and markbass ,but you want a valvey sound.

Aargh ! Hideous

Cool!
