  1. Both my bands have a couple of songs in drop D, one of the reasons I want a 5 string.
  2. [quote name='thepurpleblob' post='474642' date='Apr 28 2009, 10:25 PM']Mine's blue. I'm so ashamed.[/quote] Well at least you wont get classed as a School runner or a pimp (don't know if that's good or bad ).
  3. Never done any drifting for yonks. I miss those days, 3.6 rover SD1 powering around roundabouts is a joy in itself. Even the 730 BMW was a hoot. Always thought silver X5's was for mums doing the school runs & black ones are for drug dealers & pimps. Do they make any other colours?
  4. [quote name='john_the_bass' post='474134' date='Apr 28 2009, 12:31 PM']That 5 cyl 2.4 diesel is a brilliant engine, but the Scirocco is so much cooler IMO[/quote] I like them both as much looks wise, but I'm expecting that you'll see countless Sciroccos on the road fairly soon, hence putting a dampner on the coolness that it has just now. The C30 R design is a much rarer sight. Still don't know how I'll get my gear in tho!
  5. I used to put all my gear in a Honda DelSol! The bass & extras all fit in the boot & the combo went on the passenger seat. Now it's a '03 Corsa. Soon to be either a Volvo C30 D5 or T5 or a VW Scirocco (C30 is winning at present). Edit... Any long distance hauls & I use my slaves to carry gear on their heads!
  6. Outta Love Again - Van Halen Dead easy bassline that sounds brilliant. But you do need a decent guitarist to play with. Anything off of the Cult's Electric album (& even crappy gutters can play most of it).
  7. They used to have a Carlsberg Bassbomber in the rehearsal room where I practice & used it a few times till some lowlife broke it like they did with most of the equipment in the DC. I don't understand the mentality of the daft c*nts, now they have nothing to use. Was not a bad combo AFAIR but I only used it about 4 times in there & nowhere else.
  8. I had a few sets of the DR Strings in blue & after a few weeks the silver comes thru from wherever you play the most (even with fingers). If you slap at all I found the G string doesn't last very long at all. They do have a very bright sound tho.
  9. Oooh! So that's what happens if you get the A & the D strings mixed up when restringing & try tuning the A to D? Have another bump. I wanted one of these in the late 80's.
  10. [quote name='Jesso' post='464598' date='Apr 17 2009, 12:23 AM']How mucho? Approx? PICS????!!!??[/quote] 7 x £5 vouchers, @ €10. [attachment=23941:Vouchers.jpg] Can even be used in Woolies!
  11. [quote]Does the tuner out still work with the lead pulled out ?[/quote] Good point.
  12. I'd be prepared to offer £35 in high street shopping vouchers.
  13. [quote]OK you can pull the lead but that takes time.[/quote] Ahh, but does it take any longer than reaching for the mute switch?
  14. I had a Klotz cable with one of those red silent jacks, lasted about 2 months. Didn't take it back as the kittens had bitten the cable at the other end & I had chopped it & resoldered the black jack back on so thought it might be a bit cheeky to do so. I have another Klotz cable that the cat's haven't been near & it's not all that good. Picks up interference & like the other Klotz cable, always wants to roll itself back up (how annoying is that). Got myself a braided TGI Wired/ Barnes & Mullins cable & it's very good considering it was only a tenner! Maybe in a few years when they sort the problems out with the silent jacks I might try em again.
  15. TBH I think the £7300 Musician looks like they got a lot of nice individual parts & then just stuck them together without any thought going into it. I wouldn't buy it at £730 let alone that price. My SR1000 is one of the best sounding basses I've ever played (it's why I bought it, not for the looks as the one I tried in shop was pink & had to order the colour that I wanted) & I like the shape of the bass.
  16. I think most guitarists think the rest of the band is just there for a backing track for them to noodle all over (really f@c<ing annoying when the singer's trying to be heard over him). How about filling your space with a small catapult that's aimed at the guitter that fires marbles at him every time he goes too loud or starts noodling. My guitter would be constantly getting shot!
  17. +1 for the Producer Placebo Box. It reminds me of guitarist's amp controls. He turns them & it sounds no different. I did a little investigating & discovered a dial on the back of his amp that says wattage below it, set to max of course... I suspect this being the only thing on the amp that can adjust the noise he produces in rehearsals!
  18. I've just noticed on the Bass Centre's website they have em. [url="http://www.basscentre.com/bass-effects/order/2/"]http://www.basscentre.com/bass-effects/order/2/[/url] £258 is a slightly better price for the synth.
  19. Not sure about the Boomstick, but 98% of pedals have a - tip (Moog's are + tip). You might want to check this.
  20. Sorely tempted to get the Synth, but I'll wait until there's been a couple of reviews. Anyone able to go to the GAK shoppe & see if they has em?
  21. I think the Little Giants was advertised over a year in advance! That's being keen.
  22. [url="http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/mark_bass/~fx~pedals"]http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/mark_bass/~fx~pedals[/url] Very interested in the Super Synth!
  23. I might have a look at these. & here's me thinking they run out of T's & only had N's left.
  24. I don't have a 5 (yet), but if I was to play something in G (which quite a few of our songs are) I'd most likely be using the low B, C & D within what I'm playing (one of the reasons I want one). & Monz' reason for having one is pure class. I think the drummer would be the only person who likes it.
