  1. 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.

  2. it sounds great, definitely prefer it over the others. Cai
  3. [quote name='blablas' timestamp='1358877367' post='1946449'] Headless? I've build two myself. de afwerking mk1-4 [/quote] Perfection. If that were a right hand 5 string...
  4. An extremely good price!, you'd be hard pressed to get a better bass for the money IMO Cai
  5. If I were ever going to get a precision this would be it. Stunning. Cai
  6. sounds like this'll go quickly for the price! Looking forward to pictures! Cai
  7. that is VERY nice, unusual in a good way! Cai
  8. this'll get snapped up quickly at this price! Cai
  9. 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!
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. go for it, if your happy with that bass and you can't find anything else to beat it then stick with it and make it even more suitable for yourself!
  13. Bump, I've been offered on of my top three basses for a reasonable price and I could do with a cash sale on this so if anyone is considering it let me know
  14. I'd not heard of these guys before, just looked on their website... bad idea. I keep telling myself I do not need the ridiculously well priced six string sunburst Jazz [size=4] [/size]
  15. Bump for edit. Certain trades required!
  16. ohhh I was after speaking to Alan at ACG about one of these a couple of weeks ago, very nice bass! Good luck with the sale!
  17. I would give anything for this. My favourite basses of all time It saddens me to see this when I cannot afford it! But as ever, Good luck with the sale! Cai
  18. [quote name='rumour6' timestamp='1376944581' post='2181419'] To take things in a completely different direction... if you fancy a recently re-tubed US made SVT Classic... [/quote] I'd love one but I've just sold my vertical stacked 2x12 because I didn't have the room in my new flat, and that was small! my entire rig is my B3 Multi-effects unit now Sorry pal! Thanks for the offer though Cai p.s. I should add that I'd have nothing to play through it as well :')
