So sorry, it must be Kevin fever.

Ding a dang my dang-along ding dong.

When you're lost, do not go to the Kevin in the woods!

I heard that when his time comes, he's opted for cremation. Kevin shall burn.

Having the gear to play bass, or being prepared are hardly bringing "extra". That's the basics!

Frontman, Singer, lyrics and songwriter. I can (and will) give you an honest opinion on anything and everything.

I think for today's standard a Hans Zimmer surpasses your McCartney's and other pop moguls. Still not sure if he's a Mozart though.

Wait, I think I know this one. It's me isn't it?

Not black Friday weekend but eBay had a 15% discount the week before. Used it to buy the family our first iPad and it's keyboard. Now to find uses for it to justify the spending ?

??? Signature models ARE marketing gimmickry. Edit: Hiram got here first.

Basic is a skill in its own right.

Seems many bass players are more obsessed with the size of the kit than most drummers are ?

Annoying your in-laws should be reason enough.

Maybe Ministry had a greater impact on me with the psalm 69 album. You can always wake me up for some Bolt Thrower though, the music just rings true. Also love their integrity and DIY attitude.

Bolt Thrower

Clover, lollipop, Y shape are the most common I think, Sperzel do some slightly different ones. Don't know why choice for bass tuners is so limited compared to guitars.

We'd send this guy home for the rest of his stuff. Can't turn up for a metal gig with just a pot and a wooden spoon!

The LS-2 is brilliant. Put bass A and it's effects chain (if any) in Return A, and bass B in to Return B. Set the dial to the top position for toggling A<>B. Adjust the level of each channel, loudest first to 12 o'clock which is unity gain, and lastly adjust the weakest signal to be as loud as the first. Problem solved!

With Dead Skin Mask and all other Great Intro's a distant second.

This saved it. A spare headstock? Good thinking!

But don't. Just in case.

I sing and bass in my originals band, you'd think I could remember the lyrics I write. Without the music I have near zero recollection of the words! It's become part of our writing process that we get the music right first, then I play and mimic sounds to get the melody and rhythm in place. Once I'm confident everything works I'll bring out the poetry and fit it in place. Without the music as my crutch I'd have great difficulty quoting even a single verse of my own material

Loxx. Do the trick for me. Nice and flat too.

Only some owners seem to experience this problem, usually after a home 'pro' restring and setup...
