RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

I was gonna start a similar thread, but beaten to it Lemmy is the man . But 3 gigs halted/ cancelled within a week must tell him and us something . Obviously , we want him to be here forever . On the practical side ;I think he should take a break for a year or so ( if possible ). Then do a few farewell shows in the UK Europe and the states . Not a tour as such , as tbh I don't think he could do it anymore . Wishing him well..

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1441191844' post='2856750'] It really does suit him, you know. [/quote] Very Dave mustaine

Jack going metal ? ? Thunderbird , greasy bitch ? Gotta go for a dean to complete the metal collection . I'm just trying to think of the bass John McCoy used back in the day

Maybe B-E-A-D ?

5 string ?

Brilliant job there Rich . Didn't take long either .

Flea was endorsing so many basses, plus he was probably stoned a lot and forgot about the Wal. Macca? No idea. Geddy , on the other hand changed them around . Steinberger, Ric etc.

Graham Noden in Denmark street . same building ??

1st live gig on my Cambridge audio soundbar. Very good sound

Obviously , j h is a lot tamer , since pre St anger.. I never really rate kirks solo stuff tbh. I thought it was a bit of a laugh when he was playing leppard and maiden riffs . I'm not a fan of whisky in the jar either . Unfortunately , that looks like it's there for the rest of their days . Sandman has been lame for years IMHO . Nothing else matters is horrible IMHO . They should've played last caress / green hell . At least they never played stone cold crazy again . Still , i expected it to be a lot worse

Tech hitch -BBC fault . I agree about them going through the motions. As soon as they started, they meant business this time .

Must say , they were on fire . Apart from the technical hitch, and lots of people sticking their tongues out , it was brilliant . Better than Glastonbury ( I know - different crowd). I recorded it on my bt box . Just as well, as I had the following programme recorded also, and due to the technical hitch I could've lost the last couple of songs .

Thanks for the imput so far guys . I've been trimming the Heard and am thinking about what bass to use for this . Looking at the steinberger, the neck would suggest it to be an obvious choice. Same with the Washburn status . I have narrowed the choice down to 2! Both of these basses are more ornamental , ( dean taxi /,jack Daniels ). I think what I will do , is take the jack Daniels bass to Denmark street for a setup and ask them to complete the job , complete with new strings . Feel free to tell me 'don't do it ' Times are hard right now , but I hopefully will get it done in a few weeks. Btw; I may have missed something above, but do you still get the same feel that you do on a five string ? I did love the feeling on my old schecter 5 string . Cheers

I'm intrigued Rich;) Tbh , the red dots on the neck seem pointless , unless they really do glow in the dark. A sims job is too expensive unfortunately . A bottle green colour wouldn't be bad for the overall finish .or maybe an amber Whats the sound like ?similar to a hohner cricket bat ? Can't wait to see the end result

Always a pleasure dealing with Tom . He purchased a six string bass from me,which now goes with the 8 string sold a while back;) Deal in confidence . Mean bass player too .

Well, it's great that you've been asked back . You're doing more songs . Also good. The only problem I see, is if you don't go back soon , someone else may nab it . Don't leave it too long .

I thought ideal made kids toys , in that era. Tesco was going through a torrid time then . Looks like a poor mans Kay

About your space 'thou shalt not steal' . He has sinned! He is the sinner! Tell him politely to go forth, multiply . Failing that, met God sort it out

Speed and jack Daniels mentioned in the comments section. Accept no responsibility

She is in a bad way , what with her peg legs . Hope she'll be ok

I should really know the answer. I used to have a five string , and loved the feel of the low b. Now , as I have many basses I was thinking about having 1 permanently tuned to the above setting. This would obviously involve nut adjustment / truss rod etc. and of course using a proper b string from a 5 string pack . Question is , would the feel be exactly the same as a proper 5,string . Or is it just best to buy a 5? If I did go ahead, the job would be done by a repair tech , probably graham in denmark street. Cheers

Cool!
