[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1333274940' post='1599397'] The signature Fender bass he was talking about seems to have been ditched (see here [url="http://www.bobbabbitt.com/smf/index.php?topic=279.45"]http://www.bobbabbit...hp?topic=279.45[/url]). Whatever you think of signature basses, it seems a sign of the times that Biffy Clyro's bass player gets a signature bass (albeit a Squier) and Bob Babbitt doesn't! [/quote] You know Pete Wentz has one too don't you?

[quote name='Icarus_147' timestamp='1332897591' post='1594678'] Look, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm just here to try and get some information on a bass I'm interested in, not indulge in any sort of musical elitism. [/quote] That was a genuine question, I use a Squier P bass myself so there was no elitism intended. I've just never seen a bass with only one control knob on it so I was curious.

I wonder why it has no tone knob?

[quote name='Icarus_147' timestamp='1332813530' post='1593542'] I should be able to get one to try out at Sounds Live, so that's pretty cool. I always feel like I'm being judged for my crappy playing when I go in there though. I probably ought to start saving up at some point, either way. [/quote] Crappy playing would be quite fitting on a Pete Wentz bass.

A Benson P copy I bought off eBay with an amp the size of a child's shoe box. It was a Decent enough bass to start off on I suppose, but the tone knob didn't work and the tuning pegs were antisocial. I managed to break Ol' Sh***y's neck by putting a set of gigantic flatwounds on it without knowing any better and ended up with a four-stringed bow, so I took it apart to see how it worked, lost interest in putting it back together and banished it to the top of my wardrobe.

[quote name='SteveK' timestamp='1332804024' post='1593500'] [url="http://www.guitarbackingtrack.com/bts/Beatles,_The.htm"]These[/url] may be of interest. Some genuine tracks and some dodgy ones. Unfortunately, Rain and Taxman aren't the real deal. [/quote] Cheers, working my way through them now. Christ, Rain is way off on that one! Taxman isn't quite right either

I really want to hear Rain and Taxman isolated but I can't find them anywhere.

[quote name='Icarus_147' timestamp='1332800398' post='1593450'] Aww, you beat me to it. f*** it. I'm posting it anyway. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vziriyVgk24&feature=related [/quote] Who can blame you, that's one funky ball of tits.

Mighty Boosh link imminent!

He can barely play, why on earth has he got a signature bass?

Sounds like they're a bit hit and miss to me. My MB4210 and the MBC115 cabinet have been absolutely fine so far, although it has only been seven months.

[quote name='BRANCINI' timestamp='1332621547' post='1590912'] Not many people qualified to sing that, but if you are - who's to complain ?? [/quote] There's always someone ready to complain, it was banned off the radio wasn't it?

This thread inspired me to learn it, I thought I wasn't getting anywhere at first but I stuck at it and it comes out really easily now. Don't give up, I've been playing for the same amount of time as you so it's definitely not impossible!

[quote name='Oldman' timestamp='1332625884' post='1590992'] Deffo= yes [/quote] I know deffo means yes, but you put 'no' at the start, thought you meant definitely don't

[quote name='Oldman' timestamp='1332623537' post='1590949'] No Saw Her Standing There Deffo [/quote] Eh? I can't tell if you like it or not

I Saw Her Standing There or Day Tripper

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1332595795' post='1590438'] I would have thought the Gary Glitter back catalogue is a bit of a no-no these days. [/quote] Rock and Roll part 2 is a really good song too

Anything by Gary Glitter, and Spasticus Autisticus by Ian Dury and the Blockheads. I was listening to that one last night and wondering the same thing.

[quote name='Thor' timestamp='1332521790' post='1589607'] Holy Cow - that's seriously tricky! Mine was Ramble On by the mighty Led Zep [/quote] I know, I really underestimated that one!

Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick

[quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1332193115' post='1584734'] [/quote] I think I'll lock mine up tonight

[quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1332164233' post='1584073'] She'll always be the Woman in Black to me... [/quote] I was thinking the same thing. Imagine waking up and seeing her hovering above your bed playing your bass.

The 115 cab is good, I really noticed a big difference in clarity when I connected mine up. It's dead loud too.
