[quote name='BassJase' post='22235' date='Jun 23 2007, 01:06 AM']I've been a big Primus fan since about '93, and i think they're bloody great. Recently in one or another american bass mag they listed big bad Les' discography. He's recorded something ridiculous like 22 albums in the last 15 years. How the hell do you remember all that? Oh yeah, and the video with the big rubber cowboy suits in is the best music video ever. period.[/quote] Wynonna's got herself a big brown beaver and she shows it off to all her friends

[quote name='Rich' post='21990' date='Jun 22 2007, 04:59 PM']I bought Sailing the Seas of Cheese out of curiosity, because I wanted to see what all the fuss was about with this Claypool fella I kept hearing about.[/quote] Me too!... I now have 106 Primus songs in my iTunes library

Has anyone got a plectrum that they like the sound of but find the grip of said pleck to be crap? I've found a cure! Hole-punch

Great idea! I'm well up for that!

Have you seen/got Blame It On The Fish MB1? If you like the Primus DVD's then I recommend this one too, it follows them on tour.

I play with plectrums a fair bit. I've just switched from using Dunlop Tortex .88's to Tortex .88 'The Wedge' because they're a bit more pointy. I also use Dunlop Ultex picks, the big tri-angle ones.

Are you sure? I've got a feeling that stuff might do something nasty to a bass. Fender make a 'swirl and haze' remover, that might be worth looking into but it depends on how deep the scratches are.

This thing is "brutal", apparently... [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Supro-High-Gain-Mini-bass-amp-See-Video_W0QQitemZ230120697135QQihZ013QQcategoryZ38079QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Supro-High-Gain-Mini...9QQcmdZViewItem[/url]

I use a comfort strapp, a couple of big wide leather levys straps, a padded leather fender strap and a wide planet waves strap. They're all good straps but some seem to feel much better with certain basses.

Nice basses I've got a Joodee acoustic guitar that's about 25+ years old, it sounds great but I've never found much info on it.

I like your family tree mike! That's quite a bass family you've had/got!

and don't they just play like nothing on earth too?! You must be proud one day I shall own a GB!

They're great basses for the money. I particularly like sound and feel of the Fortress 4 with the P + J pickups.

A NEW SHALLAC ALBUM! Must it buy now!!

I'd recommend D'addario 45-100 pro-steels. They have a enough snap and thud to them without being stiff to work around quickly on the fret board IMO.

I tends to say six-be-ten, bey! Propah job!

Warwick have just released the Adjust-a-nut 2. It's pretty much the same as the original one but without the flimsy side bits.

That's a tricky one. Is he inexperienced, lazy or sketchy? I can't decide. Maybe a bit of each?

Oh my! He's got more bass gear than the average bass shop.

I reckon you should do the job. It's only for the summer, you'll have a nice stack of cash to spend on bass things. I really don't think you'd regret doing it. What are you reeeally gonna miss out on anyway? Perhaps your mates are a bit jealous that you've got this opportunity?

Nice!! I particularly like the look of the Rogue, but they're all stunning!

Hi Hadrien, welcome to bass chat. Cool pic, what bass are you playing there?

I've been listening to Melt-Banana (who are currently supporting Tool on their US tour). The bassist is Rika mm. www.myspace.com/azap

I'd like to see this thread turn into a poll once there's enough replies. Is anyone brave enough to do it without the fear that you might get told off for missing certain people out?

1 Justin Chancellor - his use of higher notes on the neck and the way he uses effects. 2 Les Claypool - the grooves. 3 Jaco - the grooves, chops and harmonics. 4 Tom Jenkinson - a lot more than a bassist! 5 Rex Brown - fat sound, tight player, held down the low end perfectly in Pantera.
