I've seen Sound City several times now. Can't get enough of it.

Very nice!

Very inspiring.

Read excerpts but haven't heard it yet. Thanks for posting.

Not found out how loud it is but for a 400 watt valve amp made by Trace Elliot its lighter than expected. [/quote] That's crazy! I've never seen one of those before. Let us know how it sounds.

The new EHX Clone Theory's are really noisy compared to the old ones. I have the vintage one and there's virtually no noise at all.

Funny I was just telling someone about those yesterday. I don't have one but the amp modelling for specific sounds (i.e. "Leeds") always seemed cool to me.

Thanks, guys! Still loving it!

Look what arrived yesterday! My "new" 1982 Yamaha BB1200S. I have been pining for one for a while and I can't believe I finally have one let alone in the color I wanted too. It's battle worn with a few nicks and dings but that's all overshadowed by the sound it makes. I've never played a thru-neck bass before. THE TONE! I CAN'T BELIEVE THE TONE!!!

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1362916587' post='2006099'] But which ones the best for metal? [/quote] And is there a danger playing metal too close to the magnetic pole?

[quote name='Bassman Steve' timestamp='1362821129' post='2005132'] That's so true and all the more so when you're playing with the machine head of your D string perfectly in line with the South Pole. [/quote] South Pole in relation to magnetic north or the other one?

I don't think there's anything wrong with it. It's just an affordable alternative for someone who's a fan and couldn't afford a Geddy Lee Fender otherwise.

Go ahead, live a lie. Otherwise go the Neepheid route.

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1362515935' post='2000718'] I use a funny thing on the bass called a volume control. [/quote] Wait. What? Can you buy these online? Who am I kidding? You must have a custom bass.
