RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1335015118' post='1624741'] Is this Ex UFO & Lonestar guitarist Paul "Tonka" Chapman's band Ghost you're referring to or is there another band now going by that name? [/quote] M No ,this the Swedish band ,)

Howdy! Nice to see you're still doin' it,)

I like music that shocks, (death metal etc). Browsed through YouTube , and watched a few bits from the above . I must say , although' I'm at the age where I've 'seen it all' , the sound is very weak , and there is more meat on morrissey. A friend of mine, asked me about cradle of filth,. Saw one or 2 vids, but the. Bass is nonexistent or something. The local butcher has more meat on his apron. At least with some of the older bands, there was more power! What do you think?

From Bono to screwdriver, to Sepultura , there are so many. Personally , I think music and politics don't mix . I'm probably in the minority.

Thanks for that.) there are a couple of screws , but I was a bit wary about adjusting them. I'll give that a go.

I have a Dean Stylist cabbie Bass. The action is rather high.apart from the truss rod, can you adjust the action at the tail end of the bass?

Just when I get more confident recording etc, another problem arises. I'm trying to plug my ipad into my line 6 ux1 . I have purchased the high quality Y cable needed to do so. For some reason , the line inputs are not picking up a signal from my ipad. So I tried plan B ; What I have done , is use my irig , via the headphone socket on that. Then an adapter , which goes into the instrument input socket on the ux1. (this is where the Bass /guitar is supposed to go) This sort of works, but the sound should be louder. The cable is fine, as I tested it on something else. Please help me if you can

Welcome,) Not the king diamond trio is it?

Thanks for your output guys,) To be honest , it looks like putting it on a chair seems the way to go . If I was back in a band, and times weren't so hard , I'd get an extra cab . Headphones? I have some , but I can get by without them . I use studio monitors already. It's just that I wasn't sure whether to sell or not. I think that , if a guitarist can have an all singing pretty Marshall , then I can compliment my bass with nice amp also. Cheers

[quote name='peteb' timestamp='1334312068' post='1614189'] As much as I can appreciate his guitar playing, I don't think that his albums are any good and I certainly wouldn't want to go out for a beer with him..... [/quote] Malmsteen is arrogant .tick. King of arpeggios.tick. Albums poor.tick. However, have seen him at music fair at wembley a few years back.Arrogant etc.very comical without meaning to be. Saw him headline Hammy Apollo a few years ago, when schenker lost the plot and cancelled, leaving malmsteen to headline. Malmsteen rocked,) absolute ly brilliant. Saw himat Astoria 2(the small one) shortly after not long before it got demolished. What some people don't realise, malmsteen has as many imitators as Eddie van halen. By the way m Bonham is the nuts.)

[quote name='Rowley Birkin QC' timestamp='1334386861' post='1615418'] Pics to follow this evening (over a few beers). Got a rehearsal this morning with 3 other people who have not played together before, all been learning the songs at home and will be putting them together for the first time. Hope it works out as I'm missing playing live since leaving my previous ban in January. [/quote]I was in a band that started the same way a few years ago. Good luck

You need to use speakers/ speaker monitors IMO before you can make judgement. As with most presets, you have to mess around alot to get decent sounds. Give yourself more time and RTFM,)

Johnny winter excellent. Can't watch now,Cher ??

Charlie Saniels is a bit mean tho'.wouldnt upset him

Missed half of first programme. Will probably watch over weekend. However, I'm watching a compilation of various acts. Very hit and miss. More miss tbh. Is that Justin lee Collins in a white suit?? Jim Dandy ( Dave Lee Roth ripped him off somewhat) Rambling man??. Something your grandad would play when he comes home from the pub.awful country stuff. Where's the rock?

Okay, band broke up ages ago. Recently, I've been playing stuff through my studio monitors . However,I still have my Aguilar amp /cab sitting in corner of room. I have thought about selling , but would miss them if they went. I live in an upstairs maisonette , but am worried that placing cab on floor would be too noisy for people below.floor is concrete. One of the things I was thinking of, is placing cab on a large stand or something, fairly high off the floor. Or should I just sell it, and stick to studio monitors? What do you think?

There was slso one in salmon pink.) I normally hate pink, but this was nice.

That should've said tube strike.(poxy predictive text)!!

Nice job so far. I own a wine colour( same as the original olour here) Nearly got the green , but as there was a tune strike and many shops in soho were closed , i settled for the wime colour. Want a yellow one. Have only seen one.

John mayall Darkness frontman

Obviously , there are too many knob ends to choose from. Perry Farrell of Janes addiction hasn't been mentioned yet. Had the misfortune of seeing them at the Astoria. He gets carried onto the stage , eating grapes. I left 5 mins after. Frontman from Mordred. Meat oaf (saw him at knebworth). Paul Stanley of kiss. Lou reed.Bonio obviously.

Good idea?Has any Basschatter done it? Wish me luck,)

Mustang Sally , brown eyed girl

He's a very close friend of mine. And an awesome guitar player too.He sells loads of spares . He got me the bass in my avatar
