RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

I love flamenco on the acoustic guitars . It just looks so difficult , but the players do it with ease. Some of it can go on a bit on record , but some is great . Recommend me some good stuff to listen to.

Rich , I say spray it bottle green or yellow or seafoam. I'll stiop now.

Yes! As long as it looks ok . Can't see if hthe front has been modified ,as I m using iPhone

[quote name='Cameronj279' timestamp='1438778019' post='2837138'] I want to hear good music. If a bass solo sounds good then by all means! I don't care at all what instruments are used to make nice sounds. I care about the nice sounds. [/quote] +1 from me also

Speaking on a hard rock/ metal angle; When I started going to gigs back on the nwobhm guitar and drum solos were the norm. Especially big / outdoor gigs . I remember angelwich frontman doing a guitar solo at their gigs and he was dreadful ( probably the only person at ghe gigs who thought so). Ted nugent on the other hand, played entertaining guitar without excessive noodling . The power is in the song. Go forward to Metallica'live sh@t binge. & purge, all the band did a solo of some sort . Seek and destroy lasted ages so everyone gets a rest because of a 3 hour set. They could've done us all a favour and cut the set to 90 mins and saved us from the solos. With joe satrini , if stu Hamm is with him , then it's probably the best time to see a bass solo . Sheehan as mentioned also. When I saw scorpions on the crazy world tour, there was a solo there too. Unexpected and uninteresting . It reminded me of slap ( a trend that everyone is doing a bass solo for the sake of it). At dream theatre , it's expected but it's mainly inaudible and cr@p. Rammstein are my fave live band , probably ever and just put on a fantastic live show . Maiden don't bother either.. Kiss and Crüe do it , just for tackiness . I would expect to see bass solos at Jazz gigs , and would welcome it

Back in the early days of gigging ('80s) I had a peavey head amp. Got it for about £5o iirc. Great , big and heavy . A few years down the line , a friend of mine sold his peavy widow( or was it scorpion?) combo to me . All that had was an annoying hum as soon as I switched it on . Sounded good live when he used it . Just not good for home use I guess. So I sold it. No idea where it was made , but it was cr@p

An original steinberger , or status . You can play anywhere with eithrr of those .

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1438603215' post='2835678'] Our drummer is only in one band. But that's because he's such a cantankerous git that no-one else could possibly put up with him - the miserable, boorish, anti-social, pessimistic, churlish, misanthropic old codger! But he's a really good drummer. [/quote] You play with ginger baker?

Probably the hardest part of band life - getting and keeping Mr. Or Mrs . Drums . I could've suggested getting a keyboard player that can program drums . The problem there , is you have to find that person. Another mountain to climb. Hope it works out for ya anyway

Nice basses! You need to go to the flea market to get another. I bet jack was happy that, he's no itching so much now . ( sorry)

Man were/ are a strange band ,from what I remember. They were a bit before my time (I started going to gigs in'79). Wharton do I remember about them? Greasy truckers party album, be good to yourself art least once a day, Bananas , country girl. Is Deke supposed to be a bit of a fruitcake then ? Enlighten me

You'll do another one soon to make up for it . Have a rest . Sucking a fishermans friend may help

Saw them at wembley a few years back supporting dream theter. They were by far the better band.

I do love the look of a few boss pedals in their pedalboard. Years ago ,in a blues band Mr. Guitar had that setup and it looked and sounded great. I've gone for the rack versions of classic boss pedals ( boss micro br). I often wonder if I should swap for the pedal versions . I've got an overactive mind .

Woman - anti nowhere league Hi ho silver lining

The top 2 a re nice

Gotta think outside the box, when playing that

Wow! Things move fast . Seems like you were only talking about this the other dsy. I am unable to help, but will bump this for someone who can;) Hope you sort out out some sh@t kicking music soon .

I feel,your pain . At the end of the day, I wanna just do a simple recording and get put off by it all. Oh, and 'it's sooo easy to,use . Yeah , right . Hope you haven''t really done that , and that someone gives you the help you need .

I got my Telebass from beyers music. Nice guys . That looks like a bass that tm Stevens would use.very loud
