RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

Are you doing drop d for Mr. Vocal? If so, van halen, pant era etc. may be the way to go,or even thin lizzy. Normal tuning ; ufo , scorpions . Rivers of Babylon ,is a song I've always wanted to cover

A few months ago, I thought about getting a cheap guitar . Only because , I wanted to record something else instead of bass and apps. Then , I realised what a waste of time it would be . A guitar feels like a Chad valley kids toy in my hands . No feeling .

When I bought an amp off eBay a few years back, the ad said ' not using amp anymore going computer instead.' I was gigging at the time and thought no more about it. A few years( and a couple of amps later), I bought a gk combo incase I join another band. Almost 5 years later, and I havent . I'm wondering whether to offload it, as I have line 6 podfarm and studio monitors . Then again recently , I've been looking at the Roland cube/ micro cubes with built in drum machines / effects etc. I notice that guitarists always have an amp at home to match their axe . Maybe you should get one

Did you manage to chat to them ,and give them some input ?

;)

I had a bass amp cutting out intermittently ,and the guitarist had to get a replacement before we started. Touch and go, as to,whether the replacement would reach us in Time . Okay, that was hired equipment . As we were quite angry, we managed to do a great version of pretty vacant ,complete with amp,kicking syndrome .

What if you're told there's something there , and there isn't ? What if it packs up/ makes dangerous noises when your banging away?

After searching for a Swedish drama to watch tonight ,I had to cave in and listen to something instead . Saw 1864 on bbciplayer - superb!! Looked for another one which is shown on a crappy itv station ( which is only available on sky) . As I have not got sky , I cannot watch it . It's about time Murdoch had a serious heart attack ..a @@ hole! Anyway, now listening to Timewind by Klaus schulze Not headphones , but Cambridge audio soundstage .

Love it ............me Thank you colonel .gave that video about 5 seconds. Not metal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIJDD1Cldgc [/quote]

That"ll look good on my Washburn status . That guitarist isnt enjoying himself is he ?

Great stuff. The problem I had when I had a spare string lying around, was when my cat was alive she loved playing with them .

I've got the toneport ux1 . It has podfarm as mentioned. It is very easy to join it with GarageBand , logic etc. the problems I find is that , it's too focused on guitars,and not enough bass models . The bass expansion pack is way too expensive IMHO. Also , not many people on basschat mention podfarm at all. Even line 6 don't seem to mention podfarm much these days .

Crikey ! Quite a few replies already. It dawned on me on Tuesday , on way back to hospital . On fast train, no bawling brats . Don't bother with headphones. In hospital, I never bothered . On the way home, semi fast train no baling brats . Today at home , I can't be bothered. I was thinking that , it must be a good thing to switch off for awhile and live headphone free for a few days . Surely there are some benefits ,

..listening to music. I'm seeing how long I can do this for. Normally, I listen while commuting, and on a radio show some evenings. How about yourselves ?

Can't make it . Great band name . Great set by the look of it . Have a mental bump

Put a nice sticker on there instead ?

You are right. I did try that at first, but poxy spellchecker stopped me

Wow ! A lot of info here alteady;) I was thinking back, when I got both of my headless basses setup, they never had any light gage strings. I used to always go for the heaviest gage for years . Then , when I got my vester fretless ( which is not headless), I want everything as light as possible . I have no idea, what gage they are.

Looks like an unfinished aria pro. He must be struggling with demand at the moment . Needs to tidy up the repair shop

Just curious

Don't start slapping everything you play ( unless it's already incorporated in your repertoire )

No one wants to admit it, but if people are having to shout in each other's ears to place an order at the bar or decide to go for a fag then you've become too loud. [/quote] Yes!
