[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1321633054' post='1441486'] I was asked to play pick in a metal band after using fingers. He was right, it worked better, he preferred it, and I used pick from then on. It's about that, whether it sounds better or not. But unfortunately that can be subjective. Just try not to let ego get in the way. [/quote] Spot on. Why not give it a try and add another string to the bow? You're not sacrificing your finger technique to do this, of course, and can swap about as you wish. I change techniques in the middle of sets, it's all about what works... and not letting egos be a barrier to that.

We do a cover of the Black Spiders - Stay Down. Very straightforward, fast rock song. Totally self-indulgent!

Quick note. When attempting to send PMs on iPad the screen suffers a glitch - the PM box pops up at the top left and partially off the screen. You're not able then to send the message. This only applies when trying to send a PM from the button on the member profile. I'll try and post a shot tomorrow. It's very odd, as earlier versions of the site didn't have this issue. Am sure it's very recent.

This year has been crap. I can't believe how long - how hard! - it can be to find a decent singer. I think the patience will pay off. Saturday rewarded me with a good singer nailing the audition, and coming up with a few new ideas to boot - so, if 2011 was on the downside, we should see some upside in early 2012. And there's nothing like getting a good start to a year

Clean channel tc electronics blacksmith into 2 410's And his dirty channel, is either svt or a pro 4 into to mesa 810's And after listening to the blacksmith videos that is one hell of an amp! Andy [/quote] There's a Youtube video of his brother - also his bass tech! - talking people through his live gear. Some very impressive stuff, was a little envious!

[quote name='Stanpig' timestamp='1320353818' post='1425854'] Alright Pedants. I was only asking what would be a reasonable price to sell it at, which I intend to do![/quote] Welcome to Basschat

Clarky's black Alembic Spoiler - so I can pretend to be Jason Either of Lorne's 8-string Bichs.

Did this get resolved?

Take your shoes off, so they won't hear you walk out? ET and Moncky have it, methinks.

Mine is/was noisy.

Ouch. Always good to have constructive criticism; pity he didn't take it; pity it now looks like trolling. But hey, you make your bed.

Darren, really sorry to read this. All the best for the future, for you and Chris.

I think this is the Yorkshire side of my varied lineage, refusing to spend cash

Morning all, Am looking for a double gig bag, as I now find myself lugging two basses around. Looking for a good mix of protection and space for cables, etc. Price not a massive concern - but would prefer change out of £100, but could go higher for some genuine quality. Maybe £50 is a good starting place?

I love the Wizards

[quote name='Coilte' timestamp='1320074342' post='1421945'] Yes, but why should that make it the "best of all time?" No such thing anyway !! [/quote] Oh no, it doesn't to my mind It's just an example which is very topical and one the voters will have at the forefront of their minds.

Could we have a small Gibson owners bass bash, you reckon? Wouldn't mind a go on a few of these!

Well, it does what a bassline should, I suppose. Of course, this is a public vote. The correct question might have been: top 10 basslines that people actually noticed.

It really depends on the when the organisation processes their refunds, and then how long both their bank and the receiving bank take to process the actual payment. I would give it a little while longer, at least four working days, before picking up the phone.

You don't get more fashionable than the BC Rich Eagle... it's just that not everyone is in the know. Thankfully
