RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

Believe it or not, I still have albums on vinyl that have not been purchased on cd , or even mp3. Thing is, I'm getting a craving for some certain albums /tracks. For example ,Cause Of Death by Obituary is in my mind at the moment. Also , Cyclone by Tangerine Dream , and the first Roxx gang album. Bearing in mind, I listen to my sounds mainly commuting these days. My turntable is not linked up to anything at the moment. Come to think of it, I'm using my Mac mini or ipad through monitors , and am listening to Canadian radio at home quite a lot . I was just wondering if I really need to buy the downloads or just link up the hifi again. Does anybody else have this kind of dilemma?

Good thread this . Back in the late '80s/early nineties I used to get Guitar for The Practicing musician. It always had columns by Randy Coven, Stu Hamm, and others. I was just learning bass back then, and I used to get it for the tab. Had a load of kerrangs till the early'90s . It was a handy mag for gig info before the Internet . Sounds was okay for a couple of years nwobhm. Have all bassist mags(90s) in the loft. One issue rated the boss me8b quite highly , but the Bass whammy got a lukewarm review. Got quite a few of the old bass player magazines from the 90s . They used to make big feature issues from time to time.( effects,5 strings etc.) I thought tat they overdid it on the 5string thing tho'. They made it sound so daunting.

Grammar is a bit poor in the letter. Or is it just me?

Niiiiice bassssd;)

Has the op bought it ? nice bass

I too am in the minority. For years at work, going out everywhere I was wearing tour tshirts of most bands I've seen. I wore a couple acre years ago when I was still gigging. Too old now if eBay was around when I chucked out my old t shirts... Oh well. Back to the topic,)

Malmsteen gave Billy the idea apparently .

[quote name='Exe188' timestamp='1368558726' post='2078597'] Thanks for the quick reaction. The shop is asking 775 pounds for it. Its used though. [/quote] Good price.

Pretty cool

Looks like it . If the frets are scallopped and the hipshot tuner is on the e string, then it is. How much ?

I have in one way shape or form, have all their stuff from early till xenon codex. Stopped bothering about them then. Just lost interest . Saw them at almost every live gig in London from ''79-'87. The sonic attack tour is still one of the best gigs I have ever been to,)

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1368257686' post='2074919'] I'm the talented one in my family. I once assembled an Ikea wardrobe. [/quote] Undisputed

What was it that ate Rangoon ? !? Brilliant title;)

[quote name='sprocketflup' timestamp='1368185660' post='2074169'] At the end of the day, theres so much to choose from. Quite prolific little space trolls, werent/arent they? Tho ASAM not one of my faves, its still in my collection. "....fell onto the carpet, crawled across the floor, up on my shelf, inside my piggy bank, and............stole my stash." Brilliant;) "STOLE MY STASH!!!!" [/quote]

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1368184789' post='2074153'] It's always been one of my least favourite Hawkwind albums, though I know plenty of hardcore fans who love it. [/quote] That's the thing . I think it was the al um after warrior on the edge of time . Nothing can follow that IMHO . But it is brilliant in its own way and direction.

There is a band called amp fiddler already which sounds good Sorry cant make it, as i will be at the embankment with friends. (Thought it was nxt week) hope it goes well

Never thought so at the time. I did a hawkwind compilation for a friend ,and ended up putting on my iPhone last night. Very mellow and cool;).....

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1368175848' post='2074006'] Aren't you part of the band? Shouldn't you be asked? It does not sound like much of a band to me, what with the guitarist and 2 practices in 8 months... Grab the keyboard player and the drummer if is good and run for your lives into a new band! Yeah, time to move on [/quote]

Whoever buys those, won't be enjoying the crack

Googled it, and can't find any info on that model no. I"m tired it's late...anyhow, in a band situation you need about 250 watts. Imho. Over to other basschatters ...

Just left a comment . Pretty good, chorus a bit like sparks
