I was listening to Angel Dust at work today. Good times.

Go for it then. If you like the instrument and it suites your needs and budget then get it and happy playing. If you do save money on it through your school then there isnt anything stopping you further down the line getting another bass is there? Also, if you do buy it and its obvious that it isnt right then im sure whichever shop you pick it up from would let you swap it. Good luck with it.

Yeah, picked up on rolling the high off, almost to nothing at times. I was just referring to because I know where it comes from now. It reminds me a lot of an old Ibanez thrash metal pedal I have. As dirty as a student at freshers week.

Great band in general really.Probably beats the U2 fiasco with Bono and the disabled person. I was gritting my teeth through that one.

I have an ESP guitar. Its well constructed and I have never had any issues aside from the jack input which craps out sometimes but that's nothing major really. Its pretty light, easy to play and does what I ask of it. Though the bass probably wont hold much value given ESPs niche with metal/hard rock bands.

I bought an ODB-3 off of here last week since ive never really played one and the opportunity was there. I have to admit it was better than I was expecting. Though the bees in a bottle remark is pretty fair.

Fantastic. It looks pretty clean and tidy given its age.

Boss ODB-3 received in less than two days. No hassles and exactly as described. Nice one.

I dont sorry, I dont use it all that often but its pretty full sounding and would recommend it. Probably a few on ebay.

[quote name='Faithless' post='165808' date='Mar 29 2008, 11:58 AM']Why do so many people dislike Mr. Labrie? For me, despite the fact it was a 'record', his voice in "Systematic Chaos" is outstanding. Well, his vocals isn't for everyone's taste, but it has sorta drive and expression that does the trick. And, regrettably, many people don't get that. What about DT's version of Pastor of Muppets... You know, maybe I'm too used to Hetfield's raging voice, so Labrie's vocals simply couldn't reach that level. He was lack of expression and that made whole thing sound boringly.. I couldn't say Labrie's voice just isn't for MoP, but, maybe, if they'd try again now, and with some A LOT more expression it could do the trick with MoP's interpretation...[/quote] I was referring to the whole band, though I don't rate the vocalist either.

I remember downloading a bootleg of dream theatre playing Master of Puppets in full. I might have well listened to the original really. It had no character and was perfect to the degree that it seemed like a pointless endeavour to me. Even the guitar tone was the same. I can see why they are admired and respected but not enough recklessness for me. Back to OutToPlayJazz's point about moving on from rock music. I think thats a fine view to hold but some folk just arent interested in the funk or jazz, despite their level of ability and talent. Progress isnt really an objective notion and works in different ways for everyone.

I think its called a VT-2 vibratrem. Picked mine up new for £40.

I use the Marshall copy of this. Its pretty good, one of the few cheaper guitar effects i have owned which warms up the bottom end.

This is why I went CIJ. Though I do see Mexican 57 reissues more frequently now.

Would have to be drums im afraid. The amp is mine!

Nasty.

Thanks for the replies. I guess I never really factored in how much of an influence cabs can have on sound. Its not that I mind the sounds, and its easily EQ'd out for something more agreeable (though the fender amp doesn't break up at all like you mention). But I was just curious all the same. Thanks again.

Im currently sporting an Ashdown MAG 4x10 cab alongside alongside an old Fender 135 and was hoping somebody could clear something up for me. I play guitar through this rig and noticed that my guitar sound is very thick and boomy (unless I really tweak the EQ). Like pushing air, as if I were playing bass. Is the cab the likely culprit for this? I should point out I'm not well travelled with cabs but I'm just curious really if it would be down to things like depth and speaker size. Ta

It got a bit embarrassed of the guitar solo and relabelled itself as post-rock/math-rock, but that'll pass...[/quote] Most of these sorts come from a hardcore punk background and grew up wit the Melvins/My Bloody Valentine/Earth

People will find ways around.

Sounds a treat. Congratulations in advance too. A friend recently visited NYC and went to a nicks game. He mentioned how much more civil it was compared to his native Swansea FC haha. Tipping is around 15% (though the service in most places warrants it - unlike the sullen afterbirths that work in most places here). The staff in shops will go out f their way to get a sale from you so enjoy it before you get back to blighty. Id probably be looking to play G&L's since I dont come across them here all that much.
