For me it would be John Paul Jones, Stu Zender, Steve 'Arris and John Giblin.

Audioslave. What's not to like? Chris Cornell and Timmy C in the same band! Awesomes.

Timmy C from Rage against the machine's got a whole box full of groove...

[quote name='ead' timestamp='1377687296' post='2190292'] Thanks for the heads up. Is that Ian Hunter as in Mott The Hoople? [/quote] Yup. Most of Queen are on the album too. The songwriting's really good and the performances are great. Highly recommended. http://www.amazon.co.uk/All-American-Alien-Boy/dp/B001GUGCL4/ref=sr_1_16?s=dmusic&ie=UTF8&qid=1377688245&sr=1-16&keywords=Ian+hunter

Thing is, exactly [i]which[/i] Rush would you like them to be? 80's synth rock? Excessive 70's Prog? They've changed so much over their career, and I think that's a good thing. How many people on here are writing the same style of stuff that they used to 30, 10 or even 2 years ago? People change, evolve and develop and their creative output reflects that.

[quote name='ead' timestamp='1377674342' post='2190064'] There's some nice fretless playing on Joni Mitchell's album Hejira. Jaco's work but very unlike his other stuff. [/quote] Try [i]All American Alien Boy[/i] by Ian Hunter, he does the same on there too.

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1377633798' post='2189770'] worth pointing out to folk who don't know but this is less relevant if playing an active bass... [/quote] True dat. I've also found that certain pedals and headphone amps work better with a buffer to [i]lower[/i] the impedance of my active bass; EHX headphone amp sounds clearer after the buffer (High input impedance, low output impedance) than going straight in. My bass fuzzes in particular sound better like this also.

AAAArrrggggghhhhhh!!!! My beautiful eyes!

[quote name='dincz' timestamp='1377622680' post='2189557'] If a buffer alters the tone, it's not a good buffer. [/quote] How 'bout this one... [url="http://s1221.photobucket.com/user/paul_510/media/cornish_buffer_zps9ba31ef1.png.html"][/url] You could get away with a 2N5088 if you haven't got a BC549, or probably a 2N3904 would do just as well.

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1377604435' post='2189238'] Of course, that's why if I'm getting an iPad, it will be the mini - Practically the same, except a lower res screen, and a bit smaller and lighter. It has a slower processor, but it also has less to process, on account of the lower res screen. EDIT - it's also [b]50%[/b] cheaper. [/quote]

It depends on the gig. I've always had my kit PAT tested as a matter of course (simply because my mate's a spark, and he'll do it or me), and most venues aren't that arsed. Larger halls and holiday camps tend to be a bit more interested in it, but I've never had to show any certification to anybody. If anybody's been round counting my stickers whilst it's not being used then they've not told me. If the worst should happen and someone gets injured because of my kit then the fact that it complies with current recommendations reduces the "contributory negligence" arguments, should it ever get to court.

It's a beauty!

Plus, you can combine your meatspace trash basket with your virtual one.

Jesus! What sort of gigs do these guys get? Orange marches? Basra? Syria? That's FUGLY.

Metal's not popular round here - the missus keeps turning it off.

I've never had a stock P or J bass, they've always had active tomfoolery or similar. I suppose it's just part of 'my sound'. They tend to be 'set and forget' though.

I've used Windows and Apple machines for music production for years. Imy experience. A Mac will do exactly the same as a Pc and vice versa. The Mac will do it in a fraction of the time though, as you don't need to allow for reinstalling drivers or removing and refitting and reconfiguring hardware etc... I seem to remember doing this A LOT on Windows machines.

Nah, [URL=http://s1221.photobucket.com/user/paul_510/media/wpa1b6dffc_0f_zpsdb8bd222.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd471/paul_510/wpa1b6dffc_0f_zpsdb8bd222.jpg[/IMG][/URL] http://www.davehallamps.co.uk/page37.html THAT'S a preamp pedal...

First thing that came to mind was one of these: http://www.sourceaudio.net/products/toolblox/programmable_eq.php it all depends on your budget though.

Yup. Toilet seat with strings... for "flossing", presumably.

Well, it beats dogging in ASDA car parks I suppose.

Baby steps Sam, baby steps...

I had this tendonitis in my left wrist a few years ago and still get it flaring up from time to time, so you have my deepest sympathies. Voltarol Emugel seems to help - don't know if you've tried that or not. Ultimately the best thing I found for it was acupuncture. I had to pay privately for the physio to stick needles in my arm but it seemed to sort me right out.
