Bloody useless then! "You listened to Slayer, perhaps you'd like Coldplay"

I played in a band with a guitarist who only had 4 strings on his 6 strat. His bridge rattled but I don't think the bridge was at fault

Kid Rock did put out a song (All summer long) with a solo in the wrong key though so that might make him worse. They're free to love Trump if they want. Let's just judge them on their music instead, there's enough there to dislike.

In to the fade - Queens Of The Stone Age

First thing I learnt when training to be an engineer is that good engineering design is about identifying and solving a problem at a reasonable cost. This product didn't appear to follow those principles.

Going blind - Melvins

Leave it alone - NOFX

I touch myself - Divynals

Is that a good tone aluminium? Needs a tort pickguard.

Snakes for the Divine - High On Fire

I was thinking more about the time he boasted about sex with underage girls.

This morning it's a bit of Savages. Excellent post punk fury. Such a shame they split.

Is the range of music as good as Spotify?

Dazed and confused - Led Zeppelin

What does the Russian bit add to the big muff? Is a more communist fuzz a good thing?

I have no idea why Nugent isn't in jail. He's openly boasted about some pretty terrible things.

More human than human - White Zombie

I've been enjoying some classic stoner metal this evening. Welcome To Sky Valley by Kyuss. Scott Reeder's bass with Brant Bjork's drums is one of the most perfect rhythm sections in metal.

Tim Commerford got some great dirty sounds with a Stingray, mostly an Ampeg with the gain cranked. Rex Brown used a Stingray with Kill Devil Hill and got great dirty sounds. Trent Reznor used Stingrays on the first couple NIN records with plenty of dirt and I've seen him use one live with fuzz.

Global Warming - Gojira

Because I prefer playing Stingray and when I turn off the dirt, the Stingray cuts through much better. Different sounds for different songs.

A wall of sound is exactly what we're going for. Where we do leave space, it's generally long, sustained notes with lots of distortion.

I know Stingrays can sound pretty good with lots of dirt so it will work when I pair it with the right pedal. The fuzz I've got at the moment is really disgusting and doesn't like any clank from the bass which is why it works with the Thunderbird.

Thanks. I'll take a look at them

I'm looking for more dirt because I've just joined a stoner/doom band. Only one guitarist so the bass is really filling out the sound, especially during guitar solos. I've got my valve preamp gain near max all the time and I've got an Orange fur coat fuzz which sounds filthy with my Thunderbird but weak with my Stingray so I need something to work with the Stingray. I searched ebay last night and bought a WayHuge Green Rhino which is a tube screamer type overdrive. I'll look for a Russian big muff later. At least with used pedals I'll only lose the postage cost if I don't like them. I'm tempted by the Justin Chancellor fuzz wah but there's no used ones yet and I'd probably lose £50 or more on a new one if I don't like it
