RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

Haven't read all the thread yet. I like the idea, but think the bass itself is ugly . Maybe a wine colour would be better? A different shape also. Then again, i think if status made this instead ( headless)'they would've nailed it .oh, and those pickups .. Ugh Only IMHO

If I still had hair, and played in a metal band , this bass would be it . Yes! Definitely good for metal.

[quote name='althebassman' timestamp='1440257157' post='2849414'] I was wondering if anyone could possibly help me identify the wood used in the top of the Smith that Hadrien is seen playing most? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yikXIDqPZb8 the wood can be seen really clearly a the 13:57-14:02 Thanks again in advance [/quote] Fantastic video . I think I may have to checkout his back catalogue . Awe some . I have no idea to the answer of your question (sorry);( What I would say tho' is that the nut should be brass. Not sure if that's better quality m but the white nut doesn't do it for me . Have a bump , till dpsomeone comes up with the answer Btw ; is it tuned b-e-a-d? Love the sounds he is getting . He's not using effects either,mjudging by the sound of my iPad .

Cool!

Cool!

Are you ready ?

[quote name='mep' timestamp='1439841726' post='2846210'] Quite amusing. Check out his other videos too. [/quote] Yeah, I like the drummer one

I know where you're coming from. When I chat to people, some think I know loads of jokes because of my dry sense of humour.( and slapstick). I do know a few , but I forget when put on the spot . My humour seems to win most people over . I'm sure you'll be fine .

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1440009549' post='2847577'] Hee, hee. I didn't mean to come over quite so crazy. It's because I've been in one or two situations recently where people have behaved like stupid spoilt kids instead of logical adults. I should be used to it really, the music business seems to attract 'em. [/quote] I hear ya;) probably why I quit gigging 4+ years ago

[quote name='vmaxblues' timestamp='1439991145' post='2847313'] The band I am in is going reasonably well but an issue has arisen and I really don't understand the logic. The guitarist, drummer and myself have bought the PA between us, the guitarist for some reason didn't want to trouble the singer (his best mate) with shelling out for the PA, hey ho, not overly worried about this. But now, the guitarist wants me to have two of the bass bins to store and carry around to rehearsals and gigs, problems are: 1) I have a car full with all my gear already (including lights)and I most definitely don't have storage room for two bass bins, and certainly won't be able to cram them in my car without doing damage. 2) The singer comes to rehearsals and gigs with just an acoustic in his hatchback. I have refused to store and be responsible for carting around half a PA especially when the singer has an empty car! The guitarist has entered the realms of sulksville, and at the last practise was very petulant and sulky, an attitude I so won't tolerate for long. I am also in another band without this particular hassle and will walk from this one if the atmosphere continues. What are your thoughts on this? PS I have had many years of 'volunteering' under my belt as a lot of us have, and have had my fair share of being taken advantage of, I consider that having top quality kit, commitment to learning the setlist, having my own transport to and from gigs and rehearsals, and actually paying more than my fair share for the PA enough. To me, this is a bridge too far... [/quote] Yeah, gotta agree .. Time to walk

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1439994167' post='2847364'] How old is your guitarist, twelve? Sulking because you can't get your way is pathetic. As is the singer, who is apparently so good that not only do they not have to share in paying for or transporting the equipment that is specifically for vocals, but don't even need to be burdened with the tedious details in the first place! Are they not even [i]slightly [/i]curious as to how this gear magically appears for gigs and rehearsals? I'm absolutely and totally sick of this kind of selfish behaviour. I'd have walked away from this lot some time ago. I did an audition the other day at which a singer/guitarist turned up who actually couldn't sing or play the guitar. Not in the least. It was really embarrassing. But when the band leader quite rightly blew this guy off for being a chancer, he got the hump and refused to take 'no' for an answer. Then next day proceeded to subject the BL to a tirade of abuse by phone and Whatsapp (whatever that is). Deluded or what?? What's wrong with these people? I blame the parents, the grandparents, the nanny state, the education system, the something-for-nothing brigade and Hitler. But not necessarily in that order. [/quote] Gosh ! You seem very angry today . ) I I agree with you tho

Why do do you whisper green grass?

Whatsa matter you? It's a lovely place! Oh shuddupa your face !

Why must I be a teenager in love? Cavan you hear the drums Fernando? How long? What's new pussycat?

Oh fiddlesticks . Sorry to hear about it btw

Me too

Haven't looked at the guitar versions , but the Roland cube combos look great . Btw; I think somebody on Basschat is selling guitar version really cheap . Try looking it up . Another alternative , could be to play your guitar/bass through studio monitors and use an interface such as line 6 .

That's. Brilliant ! looks cool on the iPhone too

I wonder if a company like sims , could do a similar Job on your epiphone got a lot less ?? It's only a replica . Imagine how much the real thing would cost .

Me too . Too many add ins , and over complications these days . Even trying to record your bass or band, I still quite can't understand why peak meters ,,like on thee old tape decks are not used.,it's all graphs . ;(

Honestly Roger, it was a combination of an iTunes update on my Mac mini snow leopard , and the latest update on my iPhone 5 s . I ignored previous updates on my phone , due to space issues . I removed some apps to allow for it . That's all I know . Result! What I think that could have contributed to it , is the backlash that made Apple move their as@s and make it easier to remove .

C h guitars

Well , as luck would have it ; I don't drive , am single . 3 best basses Mmm send me your address and you have 3 yellow Harley be tons on their way Oh, and 1 empty wallet also

Very Ronnie James dio

I liked that . He rinds me of a young Charlie sheen . Ironically enough, there was an ad before it appeared, for a guitar player
