16Again

You've just gotta love 'hit me with your rhythm stick' by ian dury and the blockheads.

Anything by The Jam.

Holiday in cambodia by Dead Kennedys.

Neat neat neat by The Damned.

Some of the bass lines on the 12" singles by Duran Duran i thought were particularly good!

Hysteria by Muse.

It's such a good laugh, pretty easy to play (clash,pistols,etc), i get the chance to dress up like i'm 16Again! and i've had the chance to meet some really cool people!
But then the downside is we only get £50 a gig but then again we only play (at full tilt) for 45 mins Bloody tiring though

Thats alot of rubbing down, You should go for nitromorse, great stuff just watch yee dinna burn yer skin!

i've got a ricky style body you couldve bought for your project but i might do something with it myself, if i can be bothered. How much would your sister charge for a paint job? oo eer! Or is she just dong it cause it's you?

If certain bass players want noticed they have to come out of the shadows!
I was guitarist ( ) for a punk band a few years ago and the bass player we had then totally used to annoy me by practically hiding behind the drums!
if you want to be noticed it easy enough!

But i think most tv producers etc dont really care about any band member apart from the singer!

I hate bands with no bass player....white stripes, yuck, whats the point of them?

Dull bass lines (maybe not the worst but defo most boring) for me would be;

Anything by oasis.
Anything by snow patrol.
Waterfront by Simple Minds.
Pretty Green By The Jam (Bruce foxton is my fav bassist but that bass line is just soooo boring)

Just got it a month ago, i love it, wish i got one years ago!

[quote name='neepheid' post='29590' date='Jul 10 2007, 09:18 AM']16 Again, as in the band? If so, I saw you guys down at The Moorings a while back, it was a great gig.

The name "Badass" stamped on the bridge is worth the money alone

Seriously though, I would say that the sturdier the bridge, the happier I am. I used a Hipshot bridge for my last project, and I'm going to use a Badass for my next one for sure.

Besides, you can pick 'em up on evilBay for 50 quid, which isn't much in the grand scheme of things. If you don't like it, you can always re-sell it.[/quote]

Aye, as in the band! Glad you enjoyed the gig Neepheid!
My mind has been made up, defo going to get one.

cheers.

oops, never noticed that!
i've read it but it dont tell me one thing!
Is the difference a Badass bridge makes worth the extra money?

I just bought a beautiful arctic white standard fender precision (mexico) and i'm thinking about changing the standard bridge to a badass bridge!
is it really worth the money??
i've never modified any bass.
