Given your recent history of hand injury, I thought it best to leave it, there is some tricky stuff in some of the tracks...

Tom Araya from Slayer used a white Jazz bass on the first 2 albums, and the bloke from the Varukers still does, and gets a completely obscene sound from it... P-basses are equally GREAT for metal. Any band worth their salt will NOT be looking at your gear, and will be listening to what you can offer them...

Still looking...

Nice one, thanks for those leads.

Nobody?

I had some handwound Kents in a couple of basses I built in the early 90s, and they were absolutely bloody STUNNING. I had mixed results with the cheaper "Sky" branded KAs from the far east, but you get what you pay for, if you can find 80s KAs, they are worth their weight in gold.

Oh you utter utter bastard! . . . . . waaanntttttttt!!!!!!

If I had the money and an option to put a slightly more sensible headstock on it, I'd love one, the body shape appeals to me greatly, as well as being a Status, which are just pure sex in graphite form.

I have just snapped one of those bloody string retainer claws on my XM2 bridge. I know there were steel repros being made recently, but they seem to have dropped off the map, maybe Gibson being a*seholes about their copyright? Does anyone have a claw they could let me have, or a trashed 80's Steinberger bridge to cannibalise?

I'm not a pick player, but I really can play extremely precisely and powerfully with my fingers. Having said that though, I [b]can[/b] play with a pick, I just prefer not to. My gear's in my signature. If I audition and you decide you might like me to join, I'll look at upgrading so I can keep up with the guitars! At the moment, my rig might be a little quiet! Cheers Alex[/quote] Its all in the hands, no gear snobbery here mate, as long as it sounds the nuts and doesnt look like it came from Argos, or a shiny endorsement deal Pure Neg sound familiar, I'm sure I've seen you at some point maybe in Harrow? I could get away with a finger player, but a lot of the stuff NEEDS pick to work with the song, so if you were happy swapping finger/pick on odd songs then yes, that could work. Rehearsal venue undecided yet, we're scattered all over London at the moment so Central seemed like a good idea, although I do use Panic quite often, nice place!

Still looking... Someone here must have a yearning for underpinning a bit of in-your-face THRASH!

New project with experienced members from other bands require aggressive plectrum-style bassist aged 25-40 ish. Male or Female, no sexism here, I have seen a couple of OUTSTANDING girl bassists recently who knocked me sideways. Influences: Sodom, Kreator, early Metallica, Discharge, Terror, Pantera, Voivod, Celtic Frost, Exodus, Motorhead, Overkill. Rehearse in Central or South London. Looking to get this running mid-August, and be gigging by October. Own gear essential, own transport preferred, but driving licence a must. Please don't apply if you just want to be in a band and can "turn your hand to anything", as that would be a waste of both our time, we require someone with a good solid understanding of the genre and who listens to the bands listed above. Any takers?

[quote name='KK Jale' post='1246786' date='May 27 2011, 10:41 AM']Been racking my brains on this one. Logo rings a bell... but stumped.[/quote] Well, at first I thought it was a Stentor, but the logo is not quite similar enough, despite being a centurions head looking left. Baffled...
