RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

Fantastic for the price .people sell them on here quite frequently . £30 ish, bargain !

Talking heads 'psycho killer', is now banned from radio AirPlay as Simon cowell took out an injunction .

Blue oyster cults' biggest hit , was about recording music on your home computer and the frustration that goes with it . The somg 'don't fear the reaper ', suggests that they are not fans of GarageBand

I thought it was down to a wah, and fuzz. I stand to be corrected of course There weren't many bass effects back in the day , were there? Just realised , I was thinking of the n I b solo, instead of his usual stuff. Doh;)

Ch guitars ?

Was les Dawson a bass player also? Sometimes I think we must be related .

Toon! Sex on fire !

Nice touch by billy . Shame about Macalpine. Lucky to see him In the 90s. Tony was scheduled to play the underworld in Camden back in October ., Hope he gets better soon

I got my first album of 2015 on Tuesday ..Till Linderman 'skills and pills." . Not bass related in any way. It's pure filth, and each song is parental advisory etc. Very funny, and brilliant. Till linderman is the vocalist of rammstein, and the material would fit on any rammstein album despite it being sung in English and not German;)

Nice basses. Especially the status

He used fender basses exclusively ( in white)

Blame it on the coffee I've still got the telecaster ,and it looks like I'm keeping it

I was gonna say that you could turn it into one of them comic book basses. The basschattts who did them did a good job , for not much cash iirc;) Have a bump anyway

There's me thinking its a whiskey thread ...

I like the look of the bass cube myself . Some good you pube clips . Galleon Krueger make good portable combos. They were incredibly expensive in the '80s but are now more affordable .

Cop shoot cop

The mans a legend.( plus gecdy& alex of course ) It doesn't seem that long ago , that we thought we'd never see Rush ( after the roll the bones tour for example) . I don't think even rush realised , how missed they were over here. Saw them quite a few times now . Most of the bands I grew up with, are getting old vote are dying . I would think rush will still record, but obviously not as much .maybe a solo from Alex and geddy. Neil has a lot of things he wants to do , and thankfully he can pick and choose what he wants to do , whenever he wants . Must buy that r40!dvd. No doubt there will be loads of 'rare' stuff released. Over the coming years for us to buy .)...

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1449522150' post='2924375'] Maybe we should send Geddy & Alex a link to the recent "Do you REALLY need a drummer?" thread..... [/quote] ;)

My very first gig ,was without a drummer. It was my 30th birthday gig , we did rock covers and a few daft singles also. The line up was Vox, guitar , me and a chap who played samples and a drum machine. We 're all really good friends.We all worked in the same company at the time . The experienced people were the guitarist and vocalist . The drum machine packed up temporarily in the second set . Unexpectedly of course. I played a few comedy riffs ,which managed to get us out of trouble . So, yes I would play without a real drummer.

I had for some time , a poster which blackie lawless threw into the crowd at the Lyceum ( wasp were good then ) i forgot that half of it was torn by the other fans . Long since gone in the dustbin . Iron maiden somewhere n time watch ..sold on eBay . It was good tho'

There's me thinking you were getting a customised Tele or something ..

Mmm... Amp/ combo wise .. Even Stevens between Eden nemesis mc-250 combo & Aguilar ag500sc/ db112. Basses used ..Fender 1977 telecaster bass/ Washburn status ( passive ) Steinberger Xmas-3 and jack Daniels bass. Zoom b21u was used very sparingly for 2 songs. Fantastic . Playing rock covers and silly singles .
