RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

If he didn't throw in the towel,you could have done your next practice with a drum machine next to him .......

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='690835' date='Dec 21 2009, 05:36 PM']Reminds me of Michael Anthony's Jack Daniels bass...[/quote] yep, it's a blatant rip off of that

I'd paint the pickups . Sorry but ugh! (the pickups not the bass)

nearly as nice as my bass ,to your left.....

What about a padded gig bag?

I imagine that after a couple of minutes watching all the corporate BS ,people would be itching to get out. Do they sell fridges there?

You could always hire a few models from Dean and have them stand around you........

Aaaargh! I hate the look of that! It's horrible! There are many names that spring to mind ........

Maybe ,if you have pics before you sent them(ie the day you shipped) and the state of it now you could send a dispute against the other person. No expert on downtuning,but from what I've read on this site,it sounds like a truss rod job. Sounds to me like,the ''buyer'' messed around with the trussrod and buggered up your bass. If you don't win,then maybe you could name and shame the person on as many forums as possible. (providing you are totally honest

Got a lovely Aguilar Headcase (mm choccy!) I forgot about the rack ears, but Jas talked me through it, and I eventually fitted my Aguilar amp into it.

I have an eden nemesis nc-250 . £300.00

was gonna listen to it. Don't want to download it tho'. Is it windows only? I have mac

There are a couple of things that could be done to entice : 1.) Make it available in more shops. (not everyone wants a subscription) Going into central London ,for example and a 'now you see it, now you don't' stock in a WHSmith's store is just not good enough. If it's out there,then they should at least promote the fact. Even Bass Player magazine is more visible,despite being anorexic. 2.) It's about time that ,cds/Dvd's come with each issue. There are loads of effects for bassplayers these days. There are even acoustic basses.So many mags have cds/Dvd's . If it's good enough for guitarists....

I spent too much time doing other things with my right hand. That guy is amazing.

Used to love the small venues. When in the day ,'Hammy O' was the biggest metal bands played. Then,in the late '80s more artists started using arenas like Wembley Arena etc. (Sorry ,can only speak from the London area) What I've noticed about the bigger venues: Wembley arena has improved . The sound .The staff etc. It seems the more I go here ,the more enjoyment I get. (apart from the journey) I hate outdoor gigs. Tho' it's nice that Twickenham Rugby ground do a handful now and again. (and of course it's only up the road from me). Unless you are standing,or are seated very near the front,the sound is dreadful. Wembley stadium: Better setup, facilities etc. but abysmal sound and hassle of travel etc. The o2: Been twice . Both times this year for Metallica. Different places in venue. First night , Highest place in the arena. If I sneazed ,I'd have been dead after falling from a great height . Could almost touch the ceiling. Great Sound tho', and I could see them. 2nd night: Standing,great sound . Saw everything. Just don't bank on there being a jubilee line whenever a good band plays there. Looking forward to Rammstein at Wembley arena in Feb.......

[quote name='Musky' post='682027' date='Dec 12 2009, 10:59 AM']You can always trawl myspace/the web for other rock covers bands operating in the SW London area and see where they're playing. It doesn't actually mean that the venues are any good, but you can always solicit opinions on the venues once you have the names.[/quote] Thanks Musky ,think I'll do that

Gave up on Bass Player a good few years back, (once in a while I may purchase). The british equivalent,BGM is getting worse and , if I see it (not very often) I give it browse and decide whether to purchase there and then. The old Bassist magazine was good. I wouldn't be surprised if a Bass mag ceases to exist eventually.Or returns to a small column in a guitar mag like Guitar for the practcing musician.

I wouldn't touch it.

[quote name='Lorne' post='680635' date='Dec 10 2009, 08:27 PM']Mine? If so,no you wouldn't NOT for sale,very hard to find,especially in quilted maple [/quote] Even if you end up having no hair,NEVER sell that bass

[quote name='karlthebassist' post='680416' date='Dec 10 2009, 05:01 PM']That's exactly what I do. Works well.[/quote] Glad you know what I'm talking about
