That is true. I have seen this happen. It got ugly surprisingly fast

It comes with a euro plug and adapter to suit her majesty's British standard 3 pin plug sockets.

Because the Supremes song I've had to learn sounds like donkey with a pick on my Stingray with nickel rounds, unless I crank the gain and speed it up as a punk song, then it works. For what I'm playing though, I can only make it sound right with fingers.

Top tip. We used to do that for rock climbing, I forgot all about super glue. My climbing first aid kit contained super glue and duct tape.

I do like a bit of Conan. Good band. Nasty bass riffs.

That looks like it got pretty gnarly. I normally play metal but this week it'll be some old motown classics, not really the right music for getting bloody and nasty!

Thanks. I think I've got some surgical spirit, I'll give it a bash

Methylated spirit? Or the breaking bad sort?

I've been playing a lot more using fingers this week instead of a pick and my index finger tip is really sore now. I would just rest it or use a pick but I've got a jam session Friday where I'll need to play without a pick for probably a good couple hours (I was the only bassist last time). Is there anything I can do for a quick fix?

I used to use daisy chains but got noise issues. I now use a Harley Benton Powerplant ISO 2 Pro. No more noise issues plus I can now run my compressor at 12v instead of 9v which is sounding much fatter. It's also easier to neatly wire on the board and easier to trace and fix faults. I wouldn't go back to a daisy chain.

I've seen him sing and drum live. Best for him to stick to just one or the other. It wouldn't be Foo Fighters without Dave up front on guitar and vocals.

There's not many drummers who could do the job. Matt Cameron Maybe, possibly Danny Carey if he can remember how to play in 4:4

Wait and bleed - Slipknot

John the fisherman - Primus

Morning has broken - Jesus and God

Be quiet and drive - Deftones

BBC Radio 6music repeated a show with Steve Lamacq and Taylor Hawkins yesterday evening. They talked about his career and influences and played some of his favourite music. It should be available on iplayer, well worth a listen.

Where dragons dwell - Gojira

Those are some EXCELLENT tunes.

I felt moved when Page stroked my dog.

I wonder whether Foo Fighters will one day be thought of as one of the all time greats with Zeppelin, Sabbath, Queen etc. Foo Fighters have a lot of filler material but then so did all the other greats. They're certainly the biggest rock band of their generation. I think they might have lasted longer than some of them, certainly longer than Zeppelin or Queen (with Freddie)

I mostly play with a pick so it's not a problem to play the chords. I found using a thinner pick is helping. I've got surprisingly close to Lemmys tone considering I play a Stingray. Two Notes le bass on the dirty channel plus Darkglass vintage microtubes plus loads of gain on the amp and eq with lots of treble and mids and no bass. All that to get close to what Lemmy gets with just a bass and amp

I'm learning Ace Of Spades. It should be easier than it is. Need to loosen up the right wrist.

That's some nasty sounding bass. I approve.
