At the end of the day, their label is still making a huge profit, so nobody wins in the end. Added to that, that most of RATM's fans are either pseudo middle-class socialists from SUV-driving "soccer mom" families, I doubt a very relevant percentage of their fans ever truly convert so to speak. I'd really like to see what kind of houses these people live in, what cars they drive, if they live extravagantly off camera so to speak.[/quote] Drives a prius if the internet is to be beleived

I think I read an article about RATM and their major label which went somethinf along the lines of they got complete freedom to say and do what they want and had the opportunity to come across to many more people than going at it on their own. oh yeah, like wot toasted said Also, as much as I like RATM and co, If I want to learn something about politics I'll read an article by someone with a phd in the subject. Being good at rapping does not make someone my teacher.

Looking good

First time buying cables, made me up a special mini-jack to jack so I can plug the bass directly into my apple. and a standard cable. Incredibly nice and easy to deal with, cables arrived very very quickly, they're bloody good quality as well very solid neutrik jacks. very cheap for what they are. I will never buy cables anywhere else.

Zombie basses!

Blimey, I can't help with your problem, but that is a smokin' hot Rick

Italia straps - 4" on bass, 2.5" in guitar: [url="http://www.italiastraps.com/guitar-gifts.html"]http://www.italiastraps.com/guitar-gifts.html[/url] Pretty pricey but they do have a 2 for 1 offer quite often. I doubt you'd ever need to replace them, The straps are so thick you don't need strap locks, infact to get them on in the first place I had to uncrew the pins, thread through the strap and rescrew to the bass - they're not going anywhere. No need to take them off for transport because there are no metal buckles. Length is set by threading the thin end through slots, so can't move around.

Yeah I came to say the walkabout too,

Gah, if only I was 30 years older, I didn't have a job, I had some talent or experience, had a bigger amp and didn't have an uncomfortable feeling about strangers...I'd be perfect for this!

I think they slipped with the 9 key,

Is that a fact, interesting. This forum is ace for snippets like that

Italia 4" straps are the kind that need rethreading, those things arn't going anywhere

Pedal came very quickly, as described, excellent correspondence throughout
