blind pilot

fashion cafe in colchester saturday night. PS.LMFAO at "small Bass"

cheers y'all, some helpful hints there, our setlist will be: Alive Plush In Bloom Rooster Creep No One knows Toxicity Aerials Lithium Sober Killing In The Name Of Slither Aenima Heart Shaped Box. Can you guess what Genre of music we favour TBH the bits i am most worried about are the chorus in plush and the Small bass solo in No One Knows thats right up in the dusty end!

Heyfellow low enders, got our first gig this saturday, 14 song set list...............now the question is....any tips for beating the nerves on the night?

to big red and all the other posters - sound advice and thanks for your input. maybe i am just being seduced by the name and looks, and on reflection, i am pretty happy with my tone from my modest bass's. i think i need to start saving, then maybe try out some of the bass's as mentioned, and i would probably see more gains from spending more time behind the fretboard and improving my playing i guess! without wanting to sound like a sucker - what a great forum, i have spent years tuning cars and spent time on car forums and the difference in people,attitude and quality of posts is stark! thanks all!

colchester - Essex, although i would probably be far to embarresed to demonstrate my poor skills! for now i will just keep on chugging with the NEZ! and trying to save those pennies! there are a few on E-bay, but i dont want to look, temptation is an evil thing!

wow guys, really appreciate your comments. As i said i am noob, and maybe stupidly though by copying the gear i would get the sound. I do play with my own style, but you know when playing songs like Aenima, it to me, is important to get "that Sound", not only so the cover sounds good, but also i feel to do it justice, if that makes sense? plus as i said beofre, i REALLY dig the look of a WAL I suppose, i should try and get to play one, and more importantly start saving! PS any one want to buy my wife, one owner from new, low mileage, still goes well

i REALLY love the look of the Wal, and i get your point re playing styles, but i can t help thinking if i spent that amount of money on this or any 'boutique' would it really 'feel' worth the pennies? another thing that adds doubt, is our guitarist, uses an epiphone Les Paul, and a friend brought up £1600 worth of geniune Les Paul, and there was no difference apart from being £1000 lighter in the pocket

hey all, now let me start off by saying i am a complete noob, been playing for 8 months now after a 13 year break, back in band and will be gigging soon, where we cover some Tool songs. having done my research i see Justin Chancellor uses a Wal bass, and this helps to get his tone, i have got fairly close to this tone using my ibanez srx 300 and a tube emulator pedal, and although i love the look of the Wal, can it really justify the £3200+ price tag (used on the bay are way over £2000) ? discusss:-

hi chaps, there is the possibility of our first gig in a couple of weeks, will keep you posted!

i was in the same boat, needed a dirty sound, as we play some Tool stuff, tried this : - [url="http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/behringer-bdi-21/67205"]http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/behringer-bdi-21/67205[/url] , and with some R/S swing 66's on my Ibanez, i am getting a pretty cool tone, its so cheap it might be worth a shot?
