  1. Fretmeister coined the term... "Tonehenge"
  2. Saw the Rush footage from the LA Concert, and noticed the Ashdown cabs onstage. Assume that they're there because Nate Mendel endorses them. Also assume that they were CTM 300's. Didn't Mark King have a signature Ashdown head a while back?
  3. Brush Think Lizzy Bled Zeppelin Irony Maiden
  4. Never used a valve bass head, but I owned & used a number of guitar valve amps over the years. As BassmanPaul said, turn it off, move it off stage, load it into the car when you're ready to go. They really aren't as fragile as you might think.
  5. Got you, in that case, it's a stunning bit of kit. Congrats.
  6. The Cut The Teardrop Expodes Echo and the Bunnmen The Shame
  7. Apart from the tie-up with Tanglewood, AFAIK, all Overwater basses are made in the UK. You could always email them and ask for some details on your new bass.
  8. People = stinky poo: Slipknot Beaten to it. Strange Brew - Cream
  9. Howzat - Sherbet
  10. Bought an Alesis Nitro Mesh kit for my son a few years ago, he loves it, but like everyone's said, they're still not quiet, especially the kick/bass drum. There's a USB plug on the back, as well as a mini jack socket to plug in an audio source (like a phone) to play along with songs. There was a link to an online drum teaching website Melodics which looked quite good, and had a fair few resources. It was free to sign up, and I think that it had a free membership period for Alesis kit owners, then reverts to a subscription. You'd have to investigate that, as my son didn't show any interest in it, he just wanted to play along to songs on his phone. A good set of headphones is a good idea as well.
  11. Rock Lobster - The B52's
  12. Hush - Deep Purple / Kula Shaker
  13. Burial at Sea - Saint Vitus
  14. Perfect Strangers - Deep Purple
  15. Seen them a few times over the years, always thought the keyboards were more Motown/60's influenced (going along with @Barking Spiders Doors comparison).
  16. As much as I'd love to acquire one, but I think I'll stick with my Ric's for now. 👍
  17. I would have said it'd be easier to find rocking horse doings than an Artist Custom. I can dream.
  18. I'd always had a thing for Ric's, but never owned one until after about 25 years of playing, where I'd had P-copies, J-copies, numerous MIJ and MIK basses, even a couple of StingRay's. One of the best sounding basses was a Westone Thunder 1A, and an MIM Jazz. Had the cash and the chance of a 4003, and that was that. Had to sell it, but always hankered after another (though the Rickenfaker was a close second). Managed to pick one up for a good price a few years back, and that really was that. Still GAS-ing for other things, a Thunderbird, Ripper/Grabber, Victory Custom (passive Artist), Dingwall D-Roc, etc. There are/will be others, but the 4003 feels like "home".
  19. I Wanna Be Your Dog - The Stooges
  20. Just One Fix - Ministry
  21. Great to hear. A guitarist I used to know used to really rate Coda.
  22. Awesome looking amp, and sure it sounds as good as it looks, a beast. GLWTS.
