Back when my dad was around he brought me up on Motorhead, Ac/Dc, Black Sabbath all the golden oldies in my opinion, I love them and I was strongly influenced by them in my younger years. I don't listen to metal as much now, purely because I don't get the time but when I do I tend to listen to bands such as Sikth, Parkway Drive, TesseracT, Vildhjarta, Periphery and The Arusha Accord (favourite band back in the day) It's fair to say that a lot of these bands write the music they do knowing that it isn't going to be hugely popular, but it's the niche that they like to write in, and essentially that's enough to make it pop music. Take a look at when you're listening to the radio and all the typical stars like Rhianna, One Direction, Rita Ora, and all these other "artists" come on, and then pops up something like Newton Faulker playing percussive acoustic, now if like me you heard him way before he got on the radio you know his stuff was pretty "out-there" it was a niche, but it got popular and now you hear it on the radio (well used to anyway, and I can't think of any better examples) it's been classified as "pop music". I agree that all music is essentially pop music, just in it's own communities, I remember being back in school we had sections of school grounds for different groups of people, you had the popular kids, nerds, and an area I used to hang around in that we called "The Moshpit" and it was fair to say that Metal, Albeit more common styles of metal (Killswitch, Lamb of God - I used to be quite keen on both for the record), were very much the thing to listen to in that area.

This sounds perfect! I'd love a headless 5 singlecut! Always wanted to try and make one myself but it's best if I don't attempt that looking forward to this! -
Who gone through simple to complex then back to simple bass?
Ghosts Over Japan replied to badboy1984's topic in Bass Guitars
About as simple as I went was a Musicman Sub... I only got more complicated from there I need the variety for what I do though, used to play in a metal band, I practice improv jazz to get better at playing, I support an acoustic singer songwriter and I mess about recording hiphop stuff at home My Sandberg was plenty varied enough for this but I can definitely see the appeal for simple basses -

Bass Mods K7. 7 string jazz bass? Yes...
Ghosts Over Japan replied to binky_bass's topic in Bass Guitars
If you don't mind and if you get the chance could you write a quick review? I think a lot of people would be very interesting on reading a review on one of these, for this price point they certainly look like something we'll see a lot more of! Cai -

Thanks for the offer though Cai p.s. I should add that I'd have nothing to play through it as well :')
