  1. To quote a previous Prime Minister, I agree with Nick! I have one of these and it's brilliant, this one is even in a more attractive finish. Pre-Covid, I visited Guitar Guitar and Wunjos in London and tried out Sadowsky, Musicman, Sandberg and Dingwall basses and preferred my DJ5 to all of them
  2. I'd describe my musical preferences as narrow, but deep - where I'm heavily focused around various sub-genres of metal. I like jazz, pop, hip-hop and folk as well and will go through periods of listening to them quite a bit, but those drop away in a week or so. I also have a tendency to get really into a specific metal sub-genres for a year or two at a time, it was doom, then I switched to black metal, these days it's post-hardcore/mathcore
  3. I watched Greg Puciato's live set - F*ck Content last night and it was brilliant, so I've bought the album version as well so now got that going
  4. Meshuggah - never got on with them in the past, find I quite enjoy them now
  5. No no, buy it - then you'll probably be ready to sell it around the time I'm in a position to buy
  6. Bass Centre basses lool like great value instruments, but I'd never buy one with that deeply unattractive and cheap looking Bass Centre logo on the heqdstock. At least they've sorted that out with this and the Guy Pratt model
  7. Metallica - Hardwired....To Self Destruct Not really listened to this since it was released, it's better than I remember, but I don't get why they made a double album. There was enough material for a really good 30-40 minute record, but for some bizzare reason decided to pad it out with another 50 minutes of bland filler.
  8. Flatwound strings
  9. I remember seeing a 55-01 in a cream/white finish
  10. Thanks for that, I'm a big fan of SikTh and James' playing
  11. On a tangent, I was looking into SikTh's tunings recently as I was learning a couple of their songs and was surprised to see that G#-G#-C#-G# tuning. I've not come across a tuning where the bottom strings are tuned to the same note before. Anyone used this or know of the benefits? My first assumption was the G#s were an octave apart, but then the gauge and/or tension difference between those strings would be huge
  12. Given the ages of the rest of the band, I wonder if there's some assumptions being made about disposable income and willingness to spend it on instruments
  13. That's not a big pool to pull from
  14. They do seem rare used, which speaks to the quality
  15. Dvne - Etemen Ænka A Scottish band with a big future before them, I believe the name is pronounced "Dune"
  16. I might be in a position to spend a bit of money on a bass later this year, what's the going rate for a used NS5-XL these days?
  17. I've only just discovered Ataxia, really like it - just the sort of thing I'm digging at the moment
  18. Today has been: Touché Amoré - Stage Four Ataxia - Automatic Writing The Mars Volta - Deloused In The Comatorium
  19. The new Cannibal Corpse, which is far better than I was expecting
  20. Tool - Fear Inoculum
  21. That Job For A Cowboy is stunning,.I wrote them off as a MySpace deathcore band before stumbling across this a couple of years ago, sadly I think it was their last record. Conquering Dystopia is another great instrumental metal band, with Alex Webster on bass
  22. So far today, the new efforts from Zao - The Crimson Corridor and The Armed - Ultrapop
