RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

Stu , billy, les. All been mentioned . No need to say anything now .

I have schecter stiletto 5sring. Very metal.awesome bass

I have the akai mpk( the mini one ). I would say the next model up from that would be ideal. If you connect to iPad tho ' you have to get camera connection kit

[quote name='swanbrook' timestamp='1363259727' post='2010525'] Why did he leave maiden, never really knew that for sure [/quote] He was 'replaced ' . Story about this in classic rock about 6 months ago. Not very nice by all accounts .

Sorry to hear of your crappy circumstances. Keep on playing , &things will get better;)

Oh well, that's the end then.

Not easy to decide here;) I would say that if you really love one of your fretted basses you own, the logical thing to do would be to get the exact equivalent in a fretless.

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1363189608' post='2009464'] V Sad. Here he is at the Marquee in 1980, a gig I am pretty sure I attended http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CI-LoFQeSNc [/quote] I think this was the gig for the Danny baker documentary. They did 3 ( or was it 4 nights) . I went to first and last nights. People fainting etc. awesome.

Shame. Saw him lots in the early days.

Similar to Dave, O met imaiden years ago. It was my very 1st gig, at the music machine(now koko). My friends saw maiden , and we chatted to them. The guys have me some of their beer.(I was underage ) . Smashing fellas. Didn't see them that night I saw praying mantis , Girl ( their 1 st gig) and Quartz. Ozzy was spotted backstage. Saw maiden for the first time then. Only Dave Murray on guitar.

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1363126842' post='2009072'] Shepherds Bush Empire?! Surely it will be Wembley Stadium! [/quote] Nah, tbh they haven't been over here for so long. Maybe wembley arena? I think they would probably do shepherds bush just to test the water. Hope they don't do outdoors, as apart from Rammstein I've had enough of outdoor gigs.

[quote name='SteveO' timestamp='1363119842' post='2008926'] saw a bottle of mötorhead..........WINE! in the off licence last week. not the first alcoholic beverage thing I'd associate with the lemmeister, but there you go. [/quote] True. He used to love vodka &orange . Can't really be bothered with all this gimmickry now. Guess I'm too old for that .)

Probably end up going, if I can get tkt. hopefully at shepherds bush empire

I had the v amp pro. Instructions are terrible . Not all of the effects are bass . Couldn't get on with it , so it had to go,boss me50b much better. Do you really need virtual amps ?

Well, you're seeing a teacher- great start . He/she will over time show you how to hold the neck properly when playing .( not joking here ). You will probably be shown the 2 finger method of playing. This is before you slap;) Also scales , triads , cycle of 5ths etc. You could ask him / her to workout songs that you wanna learn. Other than that , tuition DVDs of your fave bass players. Oh. & don't forget posture . Have bass same height standing/ sitting

Sold some wall hangers to him a few years back. Top guy to do business with,) Sorry I took so long to leave feedback. I think I got the 7 confused with a T .

So many.) Struggling to think of less than 4 . So, Chris Franke , jean michel jarre , Neil peart Joe Satriani.

Did you find out who stole the fenders?

Brilliant post. Nice work

If it were female, you could have called it Sally . Get an endorsement with fender and you have...

Let's be honest.There are soooo many,) I haven't seen the posts above properly,as I am in pub. Most of us IMHO would say, sabbath / budgie / Metallica . Choosing single songs , is more difficult. I will name many throughout this good thread. At the moment it's ; prong' who's fist is this anyway' . Supernaut by sabbath/ & enter sandman

[quote name='ash' timestamp='1362508129' post='2000455'] Or if you have an iPad try this - http://www.arturia.com/evolution/en/products/iMini/intro.html A minimoog clone for under a tenner! Just got mine today and its very good. [/quote] Thanks for that,)

Remember him being on TV a lot when I was a kid. Shame, he seemed like a real character

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1362657351' post='2002798'] He's in Stockport though isn't he? Anyway, there are plenty on the list that I doubt many people haove heard .. [i][font=Calibri]After Midnight - JJ Cale[/font] [font=Calibri]Pumped up kicks - Foster the people[/font] [font=Calibri]Steam - Laura Vane and the Vipertones[/font] [font=Calibri]Enjoy the ride - Morcheeba[/font] [font=Calibri]Rome wasn’t built in a day - Morcheeba[/font] [font=Calibri]So much trouble - Sir Joe Quaterman[/font][/i] Is it my perception or are there a hell of a lot of cover bands around at the moment, breeding like flies over the last few years. [/quote] Haven't heard any of those. Must be getting old
