Just get strings that don't have a girly tension?

I thought the fee was introduced to stop people posting threads along the lines of "Best bass I've ever played but it's not for me". £20 will appear very quickly if you lay off the crack for a while.

[quote name='redstriper' timestamp='1370546775' post='2102584'] No. [/quote] Plus the one. Are these threads created to just start pointless arguments on the forum between members? Seems like it to me.

[quote name='kevin_lindsay' timestamp='1370105285' post='2096525'] I really liked Lou Reed and Metallica when they were on. I thought they were doing something totally unique. [/quote] Unique as in the sound of a suit of armour falling down 10 flights of stairs. Most bands can't replicate that but they succeeded.

Just bought a MXR M80 D.I. Sent quickly, in great condition and a pleasure to do business with.

The one and only time I lent my gear out (because I had to) and I didn't get a thank you for it. Probably because I told the bass player off for resting his bass on top of my Genz head! Tw*t!

Secondhand Sub Ray. /thread.

[quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1367947564' post='2071451'] He was always overshadowed by their fantastic guitarist but still the bass sounds pretty good on California Uber Alles. [/quote] ...which was re-recorded.

Makes me laugh this what gear did your idol use business. Most the time it's how the bass is played (and more importantly) what desk/DI box you went through when recording. Good examples are the Dead Kennedys albums - not the greatest tone in the world but the bass player was using a 63 (64?) Jazz!

[quote name='Damonjames' timestamp='1367274040' post='2063673'] Orange terror bass 500, would be a good bet. I have the 1000 watt version and love it. It's ultra light, but has a valve pre which can go from warm valve to full on growl. These units are LOUD for the size, but if you want ultra clean sound AND volume you might struggle, if you want it loud you have to use gain. You should be able to pick one up for about £350 which will leave you enough for you cab. [/quote] He said clean sound? GK, Mark Bass or Genz Benz would be your best bet.

Four bands? Divide that by two.

3 to 4 pints.

Great little pedal - worth the dough for sure.

[quote name='dlloyd' timestamp='1367159289' post='2061889'] I'm not an expert on Gibsons, but the logo looks fake. [/quote]

Can't think of one band where there was a couple and it ended up either themselves or the band breaking up.

Forgive me because I don't know the name (or artist) but The Apprentice intro music would be cool to walk onto. Like Jaws but not as... bitey.

IBTL.

No. Cause I don't need viagra.

Parkinson theme tune. Because most metal is comedy nowadays.

It's a band practice, not a gig - I'll use whatever POS they have in the room.

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1366386752' post='2051984'] Ok I'll be perfectly honest or it's not worth commenting. There are a lot of songs like this around. It doesn't really stand out among them as special or different. The mix isn't too bad but it needs some balance and more punch. The vocalist is good but I find the oversouling and vocal ticks annoying, simply because so many lady voices in this genre sound like that, and it's not the true voice of the singer, more like a pastiche. You should work on the lyrics, sorry to say this but some of the lines are a bit corny, and it's the same old story we've heard so many times, try to tell it in a more original way. The cadence and chords are too bland, too common, try to make them more interesting and emotional with some harmonic, rhythmic or melodic devices. It's a good effort, but it needs a lot of work to make it sparkle. We've all been here mate. Keep at it and you'll get there with hard work and cultivating your imagination. Read inspiring prose and poetry to develop your lyrical style. Take your lyrics writing as seriously as the music. Best of luck man, I hope reading this didn't hurt too much. [/quote] I wish you much success.

*Cough* Opposites.

Soul Funk or Funk Soul

I care more about the playing than the badge.
