I play that track too, and I use a 5 string and I never feel the need to go onto the B string. Not sure where you would use the open strings?

As someone pointed out earlier, in Europe (i'm portuguese living in London) there's a massive control on drivers. Each summer around 200 people die of bus/truck related accidents. I used to work for a company back at home and we used to receive lots of trucks everyday. You won't believe how strict their rules are. Drive 4 hours rest 1 Drive 4 rest 8. And there's no way around this. Fines are HUGE both for the company and for the driver. More often than not the bus/truck gets stooped and only gets out if. They pay and sometimes if the truck is from the same country where the offence was comited they will order that a new driver steps in until charges are cleared. As for Marcus comment on the website the company will never admit they are wrong, oh and police in Spain is usually though, but they are not famous for being corrupts.

[/quote] I had a 2x10 ampeg and decided in one of my "bright ideas day" to order a flight case for the cab. Result it weighted a ton and was too cumbersome to carry around, and the wheels are usefull when you play in places with even floors and with no steps. I sold the cab and the case shortly after.

Our drummer was strugling also with Sex on Fire, but he finally nailed it and now gets a massive reaction every time

On the affiliate subject. If you type in Bass Chat on google the first thing that comes up is Alex's forum , how does he do that, I don't know. You need to ask him. And it's down to marketing, as some of you are aware Alex has published adds on Bass Player, Bass Guitar Magazine, and he's giving away a cab in a competition and sending one other for people to try out. It really depends on how you market it and how much you want to be heard. As for ACG I became aware shortly after I joined bass chat on the general section when someone mentioned their interest so I think the OP just overlooked them, easy to do when you have ten thousand brands coming out every month. As for they basses they are not my cup of tea

One word springs to mind. Idiot. Well done on packing and saying farewell

I'm an active guy, but I do have the choice of the passive one, but in order to use the switch one would need to be able to adjust the gain in order to make the most of it.

Bass players are so overrated

She is a monster. I really would like to have been there.

I have a soft spot for Elixir they last me over a year and I just like how smooth they are in my hands. I love 'em

I try not to be nervous but some idiots from the music shop just stay there staring at you, like you are going to decide on buying that Music Man in less a minute. I went to a shop once and asked to try the Music Man sub series, the basses where hanging high and the guy tells me "are you going to buy it or you just want to play" and I turned to him and said I don't know I haven't played it yet. I played the bass for about 5 minutes and the guy came over again asking if I was buying. Needless to say that I didn't and the shop closed shortly after. Wonder why What I find most annoying is people who think they can play in a shop at the same volume they play a gig. And if someone else in the shop is louder than them they will just crank up the volume

When you have someone coming from the crowd and compliments everyone in the band shaking their hands and just bypasses you. It happened last gig.
