Judo Chop

I remember the melody mostly, but I hear songs in my head as if I'm listening to them on the radio too. I don't like to pick a song apart and analyse it, it takes the fun out of the song for me then.

Audacity is free and stupidly simple to use, and you can convert your recordings into nearly any format you'd like. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/mac

Used to have one and an acoustic guitar in the back of the van

[quote name='amnesia' timestamp='1336292204' post='1643496'] Dunlop 1.6mm picks. Strings will stay on my basses for a couple of months in rehearsal, because I don't generally care too much about the tone. In the studio or live is different though, and 1.5 / 2 hours playing is enough to take the shne out of them. [/quote] Are they the purple ones?

[quote name='amnesia' timestamp='1336230426' post='1642870'] Looks like I'm on my own here... ...1.5 hours and I can kill a set of strings stone dead - but then I like a bright new-string sound and I don't tickle them. Boiling them does work to breathe almost-new short term life back into them, but I don't really trust them live at that point. [/quote] An hour and a half? Do you have files for fingers?

About six months for me, mine are GHS half rounds and they lose that zingy sound after a week or two, and then sound like flats until they just lose all definition and clarity over night when they die a few months later.

Is he sponsored by Squier?

GAS- Gear Acquisition Syndrome That confused me for so long

He just doesn't care does he?

[quote name='MrTaff' timestamp='1335908380' post='1638021'] I get it with all makes of strings, E always goes dead way before the rest. [/quote] So do I, my GHS pressure wounds' E string is like a rubber band

"F*** off I'm not f****** s***, you can both f*** off!" Our old drummer after we broke the news to him.

Dawsons have those Roland cubes for trying out basses on too, they're rubbish.

Follow it up with Relax and YMCA but all keep deadly serious straight faces throughout.

[quote name='Chris2112' timestamp='1335680244' post='1634450'] Nu Metal? Are they a serious band, or has the nostalgia scene for nu metal started already? [/quote] Time to get the baggy shorts, skateboards and red caps out again is it?

Slap overload!

I don't know how to tell you this...

[quote name='Norris' timestamp='1335527244' post='1632616'] She's not there, Santana version, the chromatic bass runs during (one of) the guitar solo(s)... G, Bb-B-C, F-F#-G, etc. [/quote] I love the Zombies' version, such a good bassline

[quote name='Norris' timestamp='1335440665' post='1631099'] Covers band rehearsal last night, guitarist says "Wow - what's that you're playing?" I replied "Urm ... the bass line ... as per the record". "Oh. I've never heard that bit". So now it's an added feature of the track, with him doubling up... [/quote] What song was it?

Radio 2 all the way

I love Chris Moyles, especially the way he talks over all of the songs and shouts his guests down if they have the cheek to talk for more than three seconds so he can tell another one of his brilliant jokes.

Christ on a bike, that thing could kill a small child.

Deadly Lethal Ninja Assasin and Blamethrower too, waynepunkdude. Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick? That sounds pretty good with just drum and bass

[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1334938003' post='1623809'] Personally I think the last/current 'angry young man' is Roughton Reynolds of Enter Shikari. Their previous album Common Dreads, drew from the invasion of Iraq and the subsequent political shenanigans. The current album rails against political corruption, the rich/poor divide, the oil trade and other issues facing normal people today. Well worth a listen. Seeing as the album got to no.4, a lot of people are hearing Shikari's message! Truckstop Edit: common dreads reached no.3 in the album charts and they are signed by Atlantic records. So maybe the problem is is that most protest music is rubbish! [/quote] I went to see them last month and I think their messages are falling on deaf ears, the room was full of sweaty, topless teenage boys who seemed more interested in grappling each other than listening to them play.

?

I'd buy a Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar and a proper Fender Precision, some leads and a hard case for them both.
