RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

[quote name='lemmywinks' post='527651' date='Jun 29 2009, 12:39 PM']Agreed! They all look good IMO. For me it would be Aqua, Yellow or Lime[/quote] +100 ..or even with a check style like the DEAN CABBY BASS

Met up with the band yersterday after a 2 month break. We all had a great time ,until I put my 5 String Schecter Diamond against the wall while we chilled out for a few mins. Then,for no apparent reason it fell to the floor...aaargh! There seemd to be a pretty big scratch around the jack socket-but nowhere else. Okay,if it's only there , then nobody can see it and at least it wasn't on the neck. I was thinking a few minutes ago that , I purchased one of the higher end Schecters and surely the expensive paint job couldn't be so pony . I have a similar Washburn status which I've bumped a bit but not to the stage where it's paint has been removed. Anyway, a few moments ago , I got a cloth, wiped the area to see if I could minimise the carnage and all of a sudden the mark is gone My Schecter rocks!! Next session 'll probably be the headless . I know certain basses are gonna be bumped and banged without any worries(Fender etc.) Just thought I'd share this with you,and was wondering if you've had similar experiences.....

[url="http://cdbaby.com/cd/stuarthamm"]http://cdbaby.com/cd/stuarthamm[/url] Big fan of Stu Hamm, but I haven't got GHS3. I'll have to try to get a copy because I loved the Light Beyond.[/quote] Yep that's the one! Thanks for that I'll have to get that now,and then hunt down the others

Happy Birthday!Hope you rock the place. Apart from the fact that it's too far from me,I'll be seeing Chickenfoot . It's gonna be scorchin' on that day so you may have to play in bermuda shorts

Stu is awesome! I can do the 1st bit. Trouble is Iwas leaving the basics behind while I was trying to do all the ''tricks''. Now I just play fingers/plectrum and avoid . However , you can find out how to do it on his 1st HOT LICKS DVD

Yeah,they're Loud, very clear sounding and seem much better than the Trace Elliot I had. If I get a moment tomorrow evening I'll send you a few pics if you want. It may be in the amp for sale section a few months back.

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='520761' date='Jun 22 2009, 02:17 PM']nice one. Sweet little setup there.[/quote] +1

Sounds like this place should be renamed ''Dirty Rats''

These were hard to come by when they were originally released. Still haven't got them .or heard anything from this collection. Love Stu, after getting 'the urge' he hasn't released much has he? Still trying to track down his double live cd without success.

I've got eden nemesis nc-250 combo ..awesome ! Only reason I'm selling mine is I decided to get lighter and slightly more portable head amp/cab . It's a shame you live so far away,as I would've invited you around to try it out.

Cool!

Nice...which one are you selling by the way?

I have a few effects , home use only at the moment. However, when this band I'm in settles down and we practice more regular I may sneak in a bit of distotion or something. Next practice next sunday,I'm just thinking do I bring the Steiney-or the Tele! (my aggie has no tweeter)

[quote name='chris_b' post='519897' date='Jun 21 2009, 12:42 PM']I have played "Wherever I Lay My Hat" on a fretted bass with no pedals and the audience was singing along quite happily. In my opinion, the effects pedals are for you not the song or the audience. When you go on stage, in your head are you trying to be Pino or just playing the song? I do the latter and I think I do it better because I'm being me.[/quote] +1

Lessons . However, if you like a certain player or style then buying a dvd isn't a bad thing. (unless you get one which is too advanced)

When gigging in the past,due to nerves I move around lots ,pulling off various rock poses and waving at people whilst playing. Something I've always done,and it looks like everyone appeciates it.

Saw a yellow Washburn Status ,which I believe was fretless in Denmark St. Dunno if it was the fact that I thought that someone defretted it ,but I walked past the window anyway.

Being in a band-any band..is like having a job. You have to deal with moods, songs, sickness ,holidays ,starters &leavers. The band I was in has been split to just me andMR.Drums. We get a really good singer who is now on honeymoon, get aguitarist who Mr.Drums knows who does a Tod Carty on the ice rink and fractures his arm for6+weeks Mr. Guitar gets guitar2 ..who quits! So, all in all no gigs since June last year, but a lot of hasssle! I gave bands a break for about 7 years and altho' I've not minded our little break, I'll probably advertise my services to another covers band to get the dice rolling again when I start getting too lazy. I say keep the gear and wait till you know what you're gonna do..whenever that is .

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='515731' date='Jun 16 2009, 08:44 PM']This one. [/quote] Nice...

When I used to work in the west end, you could always get it. I've noticed over the last few months wh smith( richmond,waterloo ,city thameslink station) have all failed to stock them. The last issue I got was from the Chancery lane branch. I'll try there this week Other than that, no idea

The line 6 monkey forum may help

Alot of us change gear from time to time...or expand the collection. Things I'd like: Stu Hamm's yellow fretless Kubicki...a yellow Washburn Status..a salmon pink Washburn Status.... a White Steinberger cricket bat from the '80s.....Randy Coven's bass with Tremolo (vigier?).. TM Stevens lairy coloured Warwick ...a trans trem Steiney ...Ithink that's enough

[quote name='Eight' post='515639' date='Jun 16 2009, 07:28 PM']How about not even remotely famous? I still lay awake at night in agony from not being able to buy the Schecter Damien IV I tried to get before the Curbow and Vampyre. If only I'd spent the money before currency fluctuations and stock problems had such an effect on their price. (They're not worth the price being charged here now). I'm sure what I've got is better... but can't help feeling the Damien should have been mine. Edit: I just did a quick check. The Damien was about £290 when I first saw it back in January. Went up to £360 just as I was going to buy it (which put me off). Then to £420. And now its £550!?!?![/quote] bad omen?

For a moment I thought that the bass had already been posted. Dunno why you never used this forum,tho' not my place to comment. Anyway ,it does sound a bit ropey and I wouldn't part with bass until payment was made. What part of Nigeria are you posting it to? Did you really win the lottery?
