  1. Ironically, Rush live shows last longer than anyone else's.
  2. [quote name='UglyDog' timestamp='1415725555' post='2603096'] What's a licky button? [/quote] DOWN BOY!
  3. This thread needs a 'LKE' button so badly!
  4. 'Enya' was booked to appear on Radio 4's 'Gardeners' Question Time' but was dropped when the producers realised she wanted to overdub herself 16 times.
  5. Brian Ferry isn't actually licensed to carry passengers.
  6. Carol Kaye books gone, just the Sher and Pastorius left.
  7. A band. That's where the fun is. Unless they're rubbish, and then it's like pulling teeth. Seriously though, those Peavey amps are bomb-proof. Keep ticking along with the metronome, it'll pay dividends in the long run...
  8. Billy Gibbons has never worked at our local library, despite having read over 3 books. Neither has Dusty Gibbons.
  9. David Bowie did all of the 'Minion' voices in Despicable Me. He wanted too much money to reprise the role(s) for the sequel, so they were done by Rachel Weiss instead. True fact.
  10. [s]Carol Kaye Complete Electric Bass Volumes 1&2 - £25 the pair [/s] Jaco Pastorius Essential bass recorded versions - £8 Chuck Sher Improvisor's Bass Method £8 Rick Laird - Improvising Jazz Bass - £7 Or all 3 for £20 All prices include p&p to mainland UK.
  11. Over 22" hair? That's nearly 2 feet!
  12. Sounds good, especially with the blend!
  13. Brody Dalle will kill it too - great voice!
  14. Every day's a school day. Take regular breaks and spend some time away from the bass. Sometimes it's helpful to read through a piece without playing it. I find it can help me to get a different angle on problematic sections. Regular physical exercise too - don't forget that the rest of your faculties need a workout as well as keeping those piggies wriggling...

    DIY Effects

    All Hail Timmy! Been playing about with my Timmy clone recently and it's still my favourite grit box. Superb on guitar and bass with no loss of low end on either. Fricking awesome!
  16. Got some Harley Benton 45-105 arriving this weekend. We'll let you know.
  17. [quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1415109500' post='2596745'] Edit: Anything By Jamiroquai with Stuart Zender at the helm had groove IMO [/quote] This. My nomination would be "Chameleon" on Herbie [i]Hancock's Headhunters[/i].
  18. That's the album that got me into bass playing! I've never had a mullet (or a Wal) though.
  19. If you don't mind having a look at the guts yourself then an audio probe is dead easy to make, and should help to identify the problem area on the board. Even if it's something you can't fix yourself, then you could at least tell the technician where the fault is and save them a few hours' work (and yourself a few quid).
  20. Withdrawn
  21. Les Claypool's sound on the [i]Tales from the punchbowl[/i] album is a (to me) a superb sound. Also the usual suspects regarding gnarly, gritty low end: Bruce Foxton, Geddy Lee, Justin Chancellor Spent quite a while finding a sound that emulates these chaps, but also works with my playing style (really aggressive right hand with floating thumb). Turns out it's a Jazz bass.
  22. Waves RBass and IR Convolution reverb. Oh, and EZDrummer.
  23. either way, it's always nice to have a slab of metal proclaiming you to be a 'BADASS' at gigs!
