  1. Sounds like a confidence thing. Lead(!) guitarist in our old band had the same issue. Nothing he was playing was 'quite right' and I don't think he wanted to be heard at all. Not sure he was after lead, in the end...
  2. [quote name='mep' timestamp='1412715043' post='2571367'] Mr Pino Pallodino [url="http://open.spotify.com/user/owen_liam/playlist/4J0KMwu3HUz9u2joumbZ2Z"]http://open.spotify....3HUz9u2joumbZ2Z[/url] [/quote] Followed - thanks for sharing!
  3. Frustrated chasing leads, meeting a couple of times, almost getting a rehearsal sorted, only for someone to say they can't actually make it to the studio. Even more chasing up and it all goes quiet.
  4. Both the US jazz and precision came out on top, for me. Sounded much sharper than the mexican equivalents. Do want that '77.
  5. Riffy and proggy? How about some Propagandhi. [youtube]http://youtu.be/4HuWgP-hwCY[/youtube]
  6. Lovely bass. What does the Special refer to? Is it a jazz width neck? EDIT: I should read. Slimmer neck sounds good - similar to a jazz?

    To me, the tort pickguard looks amazing with the rosewood fingerboard, but not so much with the maple.
  8. I'm just down the road from South Park, so I'll be down!
  9. Sleigh Bells
  10. [quote name='Maude' timestamp='1402336126' post='2472381'] He's better than a lot of guitarists I've seen, I didn't hear a bum note from him and no extended solo [/quote]
  11. Looks lovely. Thinking about getting one of these.
  12. I like Rotosound Swing 66s, but I sometimes get a dud E string from the pack. I didn't this time around.
  13. Something a little different [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfrWuiQ4QNc[/media] Love the way that the minimal bassline and drums drive the song.
  14. Was 'Holy Bible' by Manics recorded with a P-bass or a Rick? Perhaps a Rick on a few tracks like Archives of Pain... EDIT: Someone beat me to it.
  15. I'd recommend the Gotoh too. Cheap-ish but quality.
  16. Yeasayer bass player, Ira Wolf Tuton (cool name too), seems to be a phenomenal player. Check out the pitch-shifted intro and the bass solo outro! And all on a freakin' fretless. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVLuOUeo1Ss[/media]
  17. Was my first LBGS and I've had a great day. Highlight was Frank Bello's masterclass - seems like a great guy and his enthusiasm and passion is just contagious! The constant slapping w***ery was a bit annoying though.
  18. ^ Sorry to hear. That's a bummer! Are you in a band based in Oxford then, and where was the gig? I go to a few around here.
  19. Nice work! May pop over and say hi
  20. Can vouch for these being great basses. Good luck with the sale
  21. Just got my ticket for Saturday!
  22. Pull Me Under, Constant Motion (not that it's easy).
  23. Listen to it again and again, play along with it, stop playing, listen a few more times. It's gotta be perfec' too.
  24. Cheers Reverb, he's quite the eclectic and talented chap!
