  1. I much prefer the stuff from Saucer Full of Secrets to the Wall. Could never get into the Syd stuff. Roger always says that it was never his intention to take control of the band but he felt like they gave it to him. He did force Rick out using the threat of deleting The Wall as a means to get him out so by the time Roger left, they were effectively a 3 piece. The Final Cut is more or less all the crap that never made it onto the Wall. If you get the chance, find a copy of the DVD of the Wall Live at Earls Court in 1980. Its really cool cos they have Pink Floyd and the Surrogate band playing at the same time. But alas I also too listened to them during my Mushrooms and Acid days so have trouble listening to any of the tracks beyond Comfortably Numb, apart from Run Like Hell.
  2. Mike Reid is the reason that I play righty when I am left handed. being a young lad of about 10, playing air guitar with my brother's badminton racket I naturally 'played it' left handed. One Saturday morning when watching Saturday Superstore, Mike, who was a guitarist, had his guitar out and I noticed that he was playing it differently to how I was holding it so I immediately flipped it over. Roll on my 11th birthday when I was asked what i wanted. The choice was a small acoustic guitar - right handed. And like the guy with the stiff neck, I've never looked back since. I also believe Gary Moore was a lefty playing righty as well
  3. Not a biggy but I've found that some member's signatures are unreadable like [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/155774-gallien-kreuger-or-similar-lightweight-combo/"]this one[/url] Its nothing to do with the size of my screen cos I use my PC through HDMI to a 50" TV
  4. The bridge pickup generally doesn't pick up a lot of low end, that's generally why most basses have another pickup nearer the neck or an active EQ that you can use to boost the bass frequencies.
  5. surprised no one has commented on this yet. If you want to turn your amp into a smoke machine then by all means try it. It might be able to cope but most likely will not. I haven't heard anything about this but there are a couple of amps that say minimum 4ohms but can actually run at 2 but I wouldn't fancy trying it whith these.
  6. Weight was the reason I got rid of my Ashdown cabs. the 4x10" are brilliant but too heavy when stairs are involved. I bought my Laney cab cos it was relatively cheap, plywood constuction, Celestion cab and 20kg. I love it. I was going to add a second one for bigger gigs but 9 months on i haven't felt the need to. I am thinking about changing my GK 700RB II amp for one of the MB212 combos and have put a thread on to see if anyone is interested, purely cos I need something smaller to allow me to carry everything I need to in the car. I was going to keep my Laney cab for bigger gigs but might not need it so it would be for sale in that case.

  8. I take it that Lemmy only has the neck pickup for show? If you've ever heard them live, there's more bass comes out of Phil Campbell's guitar than Lemmy's bass But seriously though, he must really abuse them for them to be looking as bad as that. I know he gigs a hell of a lot but that's a serious amount of abuse.
  9. that last post took 44 seconds to load from hitting the post button to it actually appearing
  10. I've been on downforeveryoneorjustme.com this morning and he sites been showing as being down. Other times its been taking ages to change pages when I click on a link to go to a thread or subforum. I've had another tab open at the same time on another website and its been working quickly
  11. This Laney cab was bought as the culmination of a lot of research. Short story is that its a marine ply cab, built in the UK with an 8ohm Celestion neo driver and lovely big handles for carrying it and combi speakon/jack sockets on the back (input & link) Its so light that if I encounter a narrow gap, depending on what the obstacle is i can either carry it with one hand in front of me or lift it high enough with both to avoid the obstacle. So there you go, that's the sales spiel, now onto the deal: You can read my review of the Laney Nexus NX115 cab [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/116045-laney-nexus-nx115-1x15/"]here[/url] The amp is sold but the rack is still available
  12. Have a read at [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/660-what-strings-should-i-purchase/"]this[/url] its stickied at the top of the page
  13. They did make a 4 ohm 4x10". Its the 1044H as in 10" x 4 4ohms Horn. I think they were around about the time of the GP12s
  14. [quote name='JMT3781' post='1376160' date='Sep 17 2011, 08:22 AM']theres a chad smith drumming video where flea accompanies him throughout... on a stingray. That is all.[/quote] and vice versa - the one where River Pheonix interviews him
  15. I think he may have changed around cos I found this from 1985 [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JAM-UDQT5M"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JAM-UDQT5M[/url] It wasn't the one I was loking for. there's an even earlier live recording where Anthony climbs up the lighting gantry during a song
  16. Would you be able to modify a Jazz bass pickup cover?
  17. [quote]The amp has undergone somewhat of a make over, but this is purely [b]asphetics[/b][/quote] Eh ? Is that some kind of false limb?
  18. Another custom cover orderer here. Measured up and bought covers for my Trace 1548, V-type combo and Laney NX115. Absolutely impeccable. Never need to worry about getting my cab wet when loading into a gig plus it lood as good as new after 10 months of gigging
  19. I preferred that Marcus Muller bloke - you don't hear from him any more on here
  20. [quote name='spinynorman' post='1373457' date='Sep 14 2011, 05:44 PM']So is Cliff Burton related to Trevor Burton, who visits pubs round here and makes a lot of noise?[/quote] Nah it was him that makes Wagon Wheels. As a mark of respect after he died they made them 60% of the size that they used to be. At least that would've been more acceptable than lying and saying that they've always been the same size
  21. [quote name='bigjohn' post='1372214' date='Sep 13 2011, 06:00 PM']Meaty.[/quote] Where's that?
  22. I saw that over on Talkbs the other day. If he'd used it to record an album or even for an entire tour then yes but he only used it for one song. Why only one? Wasn't it good enough to do any more?
  23. Through Interparcel Fedex would do a parcel 15kg 125cm x 45cm x 20cm for £108
  24. You could probably get away with Iggy Pop - Lust for Life
  25. [quote name='markstuk' post='1370764' date='Sep 12 2011, 05:07 PM']Have you thought about using a lower/angled amp stand? But I suspect what Bill says is the core point - the quieter you are the less feedback you're going to get...[/quote] I've lost count the number of times I've posted this picture:
