    Why is there such a huge miss to hit rate with heavier music?

    To be honest I think this statement is true whatever type of music you're talking about. Vast deserts of mediocrity with just the occasional oasis of brilliance at which to slake your thirst.

    A second text from the drummer merely said "Shambolic"[/quote]
    This would be the point where I'd tell them to stick the band up their arses & let them come begging..... :)

    It's got more to do with the exchange rates than anything else, though they are great instruments.

But a boutique bass I see as being more like a high end car. You get one because it does what it does, not so you can change it to do something you think it ought to be able to do.[/quote]
    Absolutely.

    It's one of my favourite Yes albums. Absolutely brilliant & contains some of Squires best bass work ever.

    That's the one, thanks guys. :)
    (I was listening to "Far beyond driven" earlier today too - my brain is rubbish).

    Straplocks!

    in General Discussion

    I've used straplocks ever since my brand new custom built Jaydee came off the strap and smashed headstock first into the floor - I'd just picked it up from the shop & had been playing it for about 20 minutes when it happened. :)
    Luckily the bass was undamaged, which was more than could be said for my underpants.....

    I use the Dunlop & the Schaller ones - I prefer the Schaller models as they're not as big & clunky as the Dunlop ones.
    Lots of guitars & basses come with the Dunlop compatible buttons as standard - Hamer & Musicman are the two that spring immediately to mind.

    For the small amount they cost using a straplock system of some type is a no brainer IMO.
