One memory that sticks out is turning up to an audition for a rock band and I bought along my Spector Euro.
The lead guitarist asked me what bass I was using and I told him Spector.
The lead player turns to the rhythm guitarist and says "Are they any good?".
💀
Can anyone recommend some stoner/doom bands that are actively touring and relatively new?
Big fan of Sleep and saw them at the Manchester Ritz in 2019 but would like to see more of this regularly.
How common is snobbery in the bass world?
How many of you scoff at someone who plays a Squier instead of a Fender?
Coming from two of my other interests, watches and whisky, where snobs are left, right and centre, how does the bass world compare?
In my experience, lowest to highest tension:
TI Jazz Flats, La Bella Low Tension Flats, Dunlop Flats, GHS Precision Flats, La Bella Deep Talking Flats, D'Addario Chromes / Fender 9050s, DR Legends, Roto 77s.
The last ten years? Not much.
A Jazz bass, worn in rounds and Mark Bass amps are my sound.
I have tried a few light gain OD pedals but always think my tone is better without.
Deftones have lost a lot of respect from me.
Their last album was awful.
Sergio getting let go was a mistake.
And flat earther Steph isn't helping either!
