Probably not too good if you want a nice smooth jazz tone but if you want it bright and punchy then they're great. I'm getting some great punk tones

I got a set of DR Black Beauty strings from senior management. They sound awesome on my P bass. They look great on a white bass as well

I failed. I had perfectly decent gear at the start of the year. Everything I needed but I still bought two Fender P basses and a Darkglass vintage overdrive. I did sell a Sterling Ray34 and Epiphone Thunderbird vintage pro. I regret selling the Thunderbird, it sounded amazing. Its with the current Hawkwind bassist now so I'm sure I'll see it played properly at some point.

I did bring up muting later in the discussion. Both questions have been answered. I've got some good tips and have been trying some of the techniques suggested to see what works for me.

Global warming - Gojira

Sit on my face - Monty Python

The bit about dogs derrières was pretty much on topic. What is or isn't punk was very off topic.

This Trace Elliot AH1200 would do nicely. I loved the sound of my old GP12SMX head but it just wasn't powerful enough. 1200 Watts should get the job done

I didn't see this one coming. Faithless were huge during my clubbing years and his vocals were always so distinctive.

An old hippie who wrote songs for better musicians to cover.

They asked him not to sing "F**k you. I won't do what you tell me" What did they expect??? Politics in music goes at least back to the blues. Apparently Bob Dylans lyrics political but all I hear is vowels

Cain's wife Paula White is a crackpot of the highest order. Utterly insane. Claims to have walked around heaven with god and seen the spare parts department where you get replacements for limbs you lost in life when you get to heaven. Music and politics have been linked for a very long time. Some of the greatest artists have been very political.

It's not trying the same thing if it's a different dog

How many times have you tried? Just because it didn't work once doesn't mean it'll never work.

I'm not sure quite how to describe our style. I guess sludge but a bit faster. Most of our riffs are "inspired by" (ripped off from) Sabbath but with rearranged rhythm or kind of chopped up a bit. Most of the time the bass and guitar are playing something very similar.
