  1. OR you could ignore everything that's been posted so far and just buy a Gibson EB-0 with the infamous 'mud-bucker' pickup set up against the neck.
  2. You can't feel anything through the pads on your fingertips.
  3. Freeze gone to a good home.
  4. Thanks for that sliddx, I love reading Neil's (rare) interviews; he's a lovely little thinker and really humble too.
  5. [quote name='Mr Fretbuzz' timestamp='1339530065' post='1690088'] An hour ago with my new P Bass [/quote] Oooh, I've got some socks like that! (nice "P" by the way)
  6. [quote name='Romberg Bevel' timestamp='1339518381' post='1689781'] Hmm. What key is 'So What' in? [/quote] Keys? Where we're going we don't need keys!
  7. [quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1339411750' post='1687962'] You need Davis Baker's three books on Bebop (How To Play Bebop 1, 2 & 3). That'll do it (they aren't expensive). All the pther books are narrative and not likely to give you what you want. The Baker books are great (you can also get them on Kindle if you want but the musical examples are not good/too small on the Kindle and should only be used if you are reading them on a PC). [/quote] Thanks for the tip Bilbo, Amazon have books 2 and 3 as kindle downloads, but not the first. Do you have any links to where to buy the first one?
  8. You know, you can make a bass sound REALLY fat by playing just a little bit softer with your plucking hand - that's traditional.
  9. Clockwork Angels - latest release from Rush.
  10. You need 3 sheds full of nazi memorabilia, facial hair and a huge wart. I reckon that'll do it.
  11. Never played any high end basses apart from an Alembic once, wasn't for me. I ain't played a Wal or a Stingray but to be honest, I'm in love with Jazzes and am quite happy to stay there.
  12. [quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1339534286' post='1690233'] Ice cream changes? [/quote] I, VI, II, V - typical 'doo-wop' stuff.
  13. um, Dexter Morgan Dr Crippen Elizabeth Bathory Poppa Smurf Mr Kipling The Hamburgler Lassie Tom Robinson Boo Radley Snarf.
  14. I'm a man. But back when I was a girl I wouldn't have touched that with a 6' bargepole. Awful! Kill it with fire!
  15. [quote name='Oopsdabassist' timestamp='1339526676' post='1689989'] One Little Victory maybe?? [/quote] Nice.
  16. meh, I'd add Adam Clayton to this list but I can't be arsed.
  17. BIIIGGGG thanks to Scott for giving us access to these things for free - great stuff.
  18. [quote name='silddx' timestamp='1339452487' post='1688847'] Quintessential Alex for me, I adore it when he plays like that, sublime Like the solos on Available Light and Ghost of a Chance, although they are a little more restrained and sticking to a more melodic theme. [/quote] True dat; Ghost of a Chance is Alex's finest hour - it's a superb solo. I'm off to bed now to listen to 'Clockwork Angels' for the first time since I bought it this morning... ...I love that 'new album' feeling in the evening - feels like victory.
  19. Last weekend I went out to buy some lemonade and came back drenched - it was raining, you see.
  20. [quote name='peteb' timestamp='1339441813' post='1688597'] Some of these suggestions are a bit random considering the songs that the OP said that he was thinking of doing in his initial post...! [/quote] Depends on your interpretation of 'Funky'.
  21. Due to a bit of a clearout I'm offering up some pedals to satiate your GAS cramps: Just this left now: Bright Onions Looper - £45 posted, A/B switch, C loop and master bypass switch. Thanks for looking.

    Feedback for teamcoy

    Just received a Soundblox BEF from Matt, well packaged and in really good nick, really good communication from beginning to end. Cheers, Paul
  23. Yup, I use a compressor in my FX loop, and most of the time it does nothing. It's only when I start 'bouncing 'em off the board' that it comes into play - it's a bit over specced for what I use it for, but when it's needed it's [i]really[/i] needed.
  24. Anything from the first 'Rage Against The Machine' album?

    DIY Effects

    [quote name='Al Heeley' timestamp='1338140333' post='1670043'] not finished yet, waiting on TL071 chip to replace the LM741, then will shove in the dc socket and trim all to fit [/quote] Good choice of opamp - I'm still using an ancient mixer that is literally falling apart. Sounds incredible though - over the last week I took a peek inside to see if I could resurrect parts of it, and guess which opamps I found? Exclusively TL072s - lovely, lovely sound.
