Deranged for Rock & Roll - Chelsea Wolfe

The New Year - "Folios" :

Yes, and I am sure it did wonders for Syd's declining mental health. And not surprisingly as far as I gathered it was Roger Waters's brilliant idea. And then be sure if they are to record a solo album to get to produce it so you have the chance be sure to show them from their least flattering side, even if the songs actually have great potential, and do an effort to continue to further spread rumors about just how flaky they are. Then just to be sure no one suspect anything write a "tribute" song to them where you make sure painting a picture of them as a completely lost case fruitcake as well.

And folk singers do not need to be able to do this? Based on what? Bob Dylan?

So she became a 'HE'? And because of this single experience with one single female singer you can now conclude that this is how all of them will react, and that this is because they happen to be females? Just what the...

You got a good point there, time to start up the time machine and set things right! On a more serious and constructive note: This!

If you at some point bought any EMG pickups and still have the packaging they came with the foam inside, cut to size, works absolutely perfect as pickup foam.

Love this song, one of the best, out of many great ones, off what got to be Will Oldham's greatest album (yes, even greater than the later "I See A Darkness" album under the "Bonnie 'Prince' Billy" name), "Viva Last Blues", under the name "Palace Music", one of my all time favorite albums overall too by any artist :

Milkshake Girl - Giant Sand

Yes, I had a similar experience way back, when I was stupid enough to buy a used vintage 70's Rickenbacker, cause i happened to have that kind of money at that time, and I loved how it looked, turned out I absolutely hated how it felt in my hands, and wasn't too impressed with the tone either, so it quickly ended up in a corner unplayed, as I went back to my much cheaper trusty Aria Pro II Laser Electric Classic bass. Most expensive piece of absolute crap I ever bought!

Here is a guide I made a while back on how to get the most authentic fake guitar/8 string bass effect out of the 1 octave up of the TC Electronic Sub'N'Up pedal, making use of the Toneprint feature:

Also the foam that EMG pack their pickups with cut to appropriate size is absolutely perfect for use as pickup cavity foam.

Fingertips (Aren't You The Guy Who Hit Me In The Eye ) - They Might Be Giants

I just read the description, and for the audition you only have to chose 2 songs from the Grade 8 song book, one of which has to be specifically focused on technique (market with "TF"), but you are free to chose whichever 3rd song you wish, which can be a personal arranged cover or a piece you composed yourself.

I just did a Google search, and this are the first list that pops up: Weather Report - Palladium Paul Simon - You Can Call Me Al David Bowie - Ashes To Ashes Primus - Tommy The Cat Chaka Khan - Move Me No Mountain Stevie Wonder - Master Blaster (Jammin')

Uptown Girl - Billy Joel

Excuse me for my ignorance and not being of much help to OP, but what the hell does "Grade 7 Level Metal" mean, and how do you measure it? Also how many Grades are there? 360? With Grade 360 being the same as Grade 1, coming full circle? What is even a Grade 1 song, 2 chords only picking 1/4 root notes? Sounds silly to me.

Well that turned out a bit more negative than intended. Not out to ruin your fun, or to discredit OP, really. However I still don't think it makes sense, now please let me be of that opinion. Just as it is okay for you to have fun with this poll and for OP having had fun making this video and poll, even if it doesn't really make much sense to me, it is however also perfectly alright for me, even if you think it makes perfectly sense, to think it doesn't really make much sense, so please let me keep that opinion, you are not going to change it anyway. Thank you!

Then I chose Low or Coil, with the "music" represented in the OP being very long down on my list. Not something I plan including on my playlist. But even if it is completely pointless I can reveal that I marginally preferred how the P Bass sounded in this video, however I accidentally voted before reading OP properly and without watching the video linked to first, therefor choosing the Yamaha BB, which probably would actually had been my choice if I had played these basses my preferred way though my preferred gear. However as OP didn't allow people to change their vote on this poll my mistake is forever going to pull this already pointless poll in an even more pointless direction, making it even more inapplicable to actual reality.

No, but as I have pointed out several times, in this context, with the premise presented by OP, it doesn't really make sense at all. What is the point? Best compared to what exactly?

Yeah, well, I don't see the point. As said it makes as much sense to me as having posted a video of people respectively eating chocolate muffins and lamb chops and then asking me what I think tasted best based on that video.

Well, the comparison with the Ray4 is useless since he doesn't pluck it in the same spot as the others, so naturally it is going to sound completely different. All in all way too many variable for this comparison video being of any use whatsoever, not to speak of of the tons of compression by default being added to YouTube videos when uploaded. You might as well have compared chocolate muffins and lamb chops in a video and asked what tasted best.

How is the nut slots? Are they approximately as low as they ought to be, or are they cut too high? If the strings sit too high in the nut slots it will result in a higher overall action when strings are not fretted. Also a truss rod wrench essentially is the exact same as an appropriate sized allen key, just with a fancier shaft/handle. I know of no basses that actual comes with a truss rod wrench from factory, but usually does come with appropriate sized allen keys to adjust respectively the truss rod and the saddles.

True... That ancient digital Lexicon rack reverb is still praised and sought after to this day, and plenty of digital units with many times the original's processing power fails to do as good a job. A digital effect is only as good as the programmer, and even then it will still also depend on how well that programmer actually knows how to effectively make optimal use of whatever specific processor it got, that is how experienced the programmer is with the specific system used. And yes, plenty of genuinely amazing all free VST effect plugins for DAWs around too, my all time favorite delay and distortion for one are both all free VSTs.
