  1. Yeah I go and see that, even though I know none of the stuff. I must admit, I've seen Billy live a handful of times with Vai/Satch & Co, and was underwhelmed with his sound...........I guess the sound man is told to crank up the lead guitar and screw the rest, but even so. I prefered Stu Hamm's tone on those tours, and I [i]think[/i] it was [i]Matt[/i] Bissonette on one occasion, might have been his brother who's name escapes me.
  2. If you love the BB, why not get the 414 passive version, you'll have two great basses there. You'll get many different opinions to your question. Mine is, there's only one way to find a bass, and that's to play some. Find a precision you like the look, feel and sound of, that you can afford, and buy it, regardless of where it was made. There are some superb Squiers about, there are also some crap ones. There are some superb U.S. made Precisions around, there are also some crap ones. Forget where the bass is made, it really isn't important at all.

  4. You'll get a dozen different answers, but for me, if Rotosound offered me free strings I'd have 'em. Roto's in my opinion are decent strings. Bright out of the packet, nice and clean and punchy for a while, but they go off pretty quick, but then I sweat like a glass blowers arse live. If the Wawricks you've been using are Black Labels, to me Rotos aren't as good as them. The Black Labels are great strings.
  5. Smart little set up that, looks the biz.
  6. Everything is [i]your[/i] personal taste. You like it = it's great You hate it = it's sh*t Pretty straight forward to me. I love [i]some[/i] jazz, Metal, Dub, Country, Pop...etc....etc I also equally hate [i]some[/i] jazz. metal.....etc.....etc Music is great, embrace it [i]all[/i] my brothers (and sisters).
  7. That's just amazing, what a stunning looking bass, best of luck.
  8. Ha.......that's a stunning looking bass. You'd have to have some balls stepping out with it for a gig, but man, that's a looker.
  9. Wooaahh WAL alert...... Beautiful, [i]beautiful[/i], instruments............one day.
  10. Looking forward to getting my hands on it .
  11. Good choice Alan, I was close to snapping that up myself.
  12. I've gone from this: To this: and finally to this: 3 great amps. The Roland was superb in every respect, I just fancied some more power. The Trace sounded superb, I just fancied less weight, and the Fender is a happy medium between the two.

That'll be a class night out.

  20. Yeah I know Ray, it's really an outstanding bass, but it's wasted on me, I tend to pound seven shades of you know what out of basses. This one deserves [i]way[/i] more respect than that. Soundwise, big thumping bottom end, and a nice clear top from the bridge pup, the TV Jones's are brilliant. I just need some more mid attack. Dr Phibes, I'm in a covers band, RHCP, U2, Stereophonics, Muse etc. mrcrow, I'd have had your arm off at one point, but having just moved a Stingray on, I fancied something different. It looks very very nice though.
  21. Blimey O'Rielly Joe, that's a cracker.
  22. One word...............Villex.
