Thanks, if I've not had anything by lunchtime I'll give them a call

Slight thread derailment, but when ordering online do Bass Direct send you a confirmation email? I ordered a pickup from them outside of office hours last night and got a PayPal receipt, but haven't had anything from Bass Direct themselves yet. Hoping to see a shipment confirmation email or something later on today, but they've been open a couple of hours and haven't had anything yet.

A sub-genre of hardcore punk, with a focus on complex time signatures; for example Botch, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Coalesce, The Chariot 😀

92-02 Grunge, mathcore, post-hardcore, 90s Death metal, second wave black metal Also, I was born in 1985 so the 90s were very formative to my music tastes

Got a few lined up June - Suffocation August - Holy Fawn & The Callous Daoboys September - Mutoid Man October - Better Lovers October - Beyond The Redshift November - Damnation Festival There's more I'd like to book (Terror, Frozen Soul, Obituary) but to be honest I can only do so many

When I read the thread title, I immediately added "4:30" in my head 😁

This is what I listened to last week Napalm Death, Sepultura, Rolo Tomassi, Wormrot, The Offspring, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Cave In, Ingested, Origin, Blood Ceremony, Battle Of Mice, John Frum, Pig Destroyer, Nirvana, Fukpig, Made Out Of Babies Nightmarer, Hell Is For Heroes, Sól Án Varma, The Eating Cave, Alice In Chains, Nine Inch Nails, 200 Stab Wounds, Sepultura, Electric Wizard, Zozobra

I'd been thinking about this recently as it was doing the rounds on Twitter Flea (RHCP/Mars Volta) Bernie Edwards (Chic) Jeff Caxide (ISIS) Caleb Scofield (Cave In/Old Man Gloom) Shane Embury (Napalm Death) Alex Webster (Cannibal Corpse /Conquering Dystopia) Martin Mendez (Opeth/White Stones) James Leach (SikTh) Liam Wilson (The Dillinger Escape Plan/Azusa/John Frum) Sean Malone (Cynic)

Guitarist is on his way out, sounds like you are too At this point, just ask yourself if you want to one final gig with a band that's about to collapse

Great to see you last night, the sound was quite bottom heavy but sounded good out front; I particularly like the picked sound - was quite gutsy Quick video of your new bass in action

Always happy to hear more Julie Christmas

It's.....fine Like most of their output in the last 20 years it's an 80+ minute album that should have been a 25 minute EP There's some good riffs and ideas which get swallowed into the overly long song structures If it had been someone other than Metallica I'd have probably turned it off after the second song, doubt I'll listen to it again. Production's good though, at least you can hear the bass

Me too, not overly impressed so far.....which is at least what I was expecting

I'm not sure I'd celebrate anything with Burzum

Oh, that's really cool

Picked up my first Stingray yesterday, a Ray25CA in a lovely blue finish The previous owner, a nice chap also called Graham, had made a couple of mods - it has a Retrovibe Stinger pre-amp and a series/parallel switch. He'd also replaced the pick-guard with this black anodised one Overall, very happy with it, just a shame my next gig isn't until the end of May

In ours the singer takes a bigger cut, but he: Books every gig and liases with the client/venue Owns, sets up and runs the PA and lights Arrives earlier to set up the PA, while I normally stay to help break it down, I could in principal leave ten minutes after the last note is played Is the only member who plays every gig, so finds deps for the rest of us Writes and supplies the set list I'm more than happy for him to take a bigger cut, so I don't have to deal with any of the above

Shout out to @Merton for stepping into the breach for me last night, my mother died Friday night and I wasn't in a position to play a gig. The video I saw looked great, apart from Matt getting the lyrics wrong of course 😁

Good luck we got back from holiday yesterday, so thought the kids would probably benefit from me not being out tonight.

Watching a demo made me think the M900 v3 will essentially be this, with a power amp bolted on and a separate footswitch

I finally got round to listening to the full album, and it's fine. A couple of decent songs, a bit boring in the middle, could do without the military fetishism, but overall pretty inoffensive. I might listen to it again, but it's not particularly likely

I love that Lulu exists, because I swear Lou Reed trolled Metallica into making it, convincing them it was a work of profound art, laughing his derrière off the whole way. I will however, never subject myself to listening to it a second time.

The new Fallujah record that came out yesterday, some very tasty bass playing on this tech/death/prog album @odysseus you might like this, not sure how you feel about heavy vocals though? https://open.spotify.com/track/0W5LVt1fLq1SdCrmj9S7EU?si=Ft2QX1XORt2qJCkBw6uQ8w&utm_source=copy-link

It's been a while since I looked at a bass and immediately wanted it, that's stunning! And you say there's a blue one as well?
