[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1354885825' post='1891603'] DO NOT DEFRET THE JD!! Truckstop [/quote] Is that because it won't raawk? ,)

Okay , nobody has too many basses.( apologies for daft topic); The market is slow, so selling things is a pain .Also, I don't really want to do eBay ,as I find Basschat better(when bug is fixed) Anyhow, please have a look at my sig below. Washburn status is staying. I really don't wanna sell the Tele bass , as next to the Washburn is the best feel of my basses. What I was thinking of doing, was defretting the jd bass, and selling the vester . I love the vester , but there aren't many jd basses about and it makes a good ornament in the flat) ; 8string? Not for me really,as I got a fantastic boss unit that replicates it and more. 5 string? Love it , but was thinking of keeping one of the others and tuning bead permanently.also, maybe I'm better using a headless 5string . 6 string? Hardly used, but recently enjoy noodling in bedroom, Acoustic bass? Do I really need it?love the colour. Please feel free to give me advice/ criticism Cheers

I have a line 6 toneport gx(with podfarm). Plug the box into the USB socket of your pc/mac and off you go Someone here is selling one

[quote name='Pow_22' timestamp='1354810994' post='1890721'] Green Day?? Really? I think dirnt is the most over-rated player out there (but thats a whole new thread) [/quote] Are you digging up the dirnt? Sorry ,)

[quote name='geoham' timestamp='1354809275' post='1890683'] Have you seen Thin Lizzy's most recent line-up? I received two tickets to see them in Glasgow as a birthday gift last year, and wasn't convinced anyone could step in for Phil - but I need to say, Marco Mendoza does a great job. [/quote] He is a great bassist. Saw him with Ted Nugent a good few years ago. The reason I say L izzy initially, is that nobody could replace phil ,) IMHO Saw lizzy with sykesey a few years back . They wre good. But sorry Thin Lizzy are a tribute /covers band now IMHO .(another thread)?

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1354793736' post='1890388'] Both musically and - probably more so - on a personal level, things changed in Metallica when Cliff died. [/quote] They sure did,) still think they were assholes for the 'mastering ' of the justice album.

True about the pub side of things & death metal. You need to find more specialised venues. Dirty south , Barfly ? Most pubs prefer covers IMHO , as its easier to play for people who wanna hear choons. (Sorry)

Motley crew

Got the first 4 albums , and a compilation. Friend gave me mp3,which I still haven't bothered with. I think rage for order and mindcrime are the best 2.cant choose really . Saw them on the mindcrime tour at hammy o..talk about boring. The girl dancing in the white dress,what was that about?? Saw them 2years ago with priest at Bournemouth . They were brilliant.dont know who was the more camp that night ,) I hate spitting!! Unhygienic cu nxt Tuesdays that do that!

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1354654375' post='1888860'] No. It's a you need to use Photobucket instead thing right now. [/quote] Thank you, but I can't be arsed ,)

Still wont work for me,( must be a mac thing

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1354568074' post='1887579'] I'm the person who likes Tai Shan... Half the World, on the other hand - tripe. [/quote] Yes, that is tripe ,)

That's a relief ,)

Well, as far as the 'Rush bass sound' goes, it's too hard(almost impossible) to decide which is best. Trying to break it down into the decades; 70's - Farewell to kings, 80's- permanent waves/moving pics,-90s counterparts. The bass on Clockwork angels is fantastic. Then you have individual tracks from none of the above. Then you have the producer/studio/amps etc. I will,stop after one more opinion.. Dog years is a terrible song- but is it as bad as Tai Chen (hold your fire)? Must go now ,)
