A tiny desk in the corner of the bedroom However she keeps my basses on display in the livingroom That way she keeps track of any sneak purchase. :/ She makes up for it by being awesome though

[quote name='Stumper' timestamp='1381768840' post='2243431'] the next step is a matter of finding a guitar shop with a decent range on offer, then going along and plugging in to a few. [/quote] Spot on!

"Do it. I'm down to two usable basses and one in bits. There's only one that ever gets taken to gigs though and that's the [B]Stingray[/B]"

That got annoying when he stacked all that feedback. I have beaten guitards down for pulling that sh*t! Good craftsmanship controlling all what was going on though.

All I hear about 8inchers is people raving about the SWR henry. There is a henry jr. 4x8 aswell, that may be interesting to checj out for coupling with your current setup.

I have no problems, back or elsewhere. However private sessions going one-on-one with a pilates certified ostheopathic instructeuse sounds like I may have found a new hobby!

No fair! I apply to 3/5th of the settings

Most seem to sound great and are quality instruments. I will not buy a bass that has a penis for top horn.

A small mixer is best. Everything you need in the mixer, headphones or monitor (powered desktop speaker for instance) out.

A flying V should give ample airtime, although a curly cord would be ... amusing.

Elacin ER15 fitted ones for me. Why spend any money at all on gear and none to hear it for as long as you can? The toiletpaper idea has to be one of the worst I've heard, who are you kidding?

Indeed neither are blues or rock. Can't think of anything better than 'guitar-pop',or the almighty 'contemporary'.

My influences are good for metal! Really though: Frank Bello, Newsted, Burton, Les Claypool, Dan Lilker, Robert Trujillo...

My 3 basses are neatly displayed on the wall above the tele, using diagonal mounts. MTD 5 / EB SR5 / Dean cabbie (yellow hollowbody with checkered sides). My wife insisted! ... let me rummage about, see if I have a picture... [IMG]http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/254/20120308162144.jpg[/IMG] Yep! Bad picture using the panorama feature of my previous phone \○/

Thank you! After a day of GTA V this was truely refreshing.

I'm not very familiar with rackable preamps. Alembic has some popular ones I think, and line6 has a rack pod pro maybe? There must be plenty made for studio use etc. The Jules Monique gets rave reviews but is not a rack unit I think. There are also the thirty-odd pedal preamps that would do the trick, and probably cheaper so you could mix&match a couple. The sale/trade section on here are a great place to start looking. Can check evilbay, but I have found some good prices by typing the unit name of choice in to google and selecting 'shopping'. People who actually know about preamps should be along shortly

Running two classD power sections it will not be the lightest but also none too heavy I imagine.

I was pointed out this by Rythmguitar who plays Engl: http://www.englamps.de/index.php?id=38&tx_ddfproducts_pi1[uid]=123&iPhoneBypass=1 It looks like a very well featured amp with some unique options! -2 separate preamps AND 2 separate power amps for you to mix & match. Plug in 2 basses with each their own path. All the bells and whistles you could wish for in a gigging setup. However I have yet to find a video of it that doesn't sound rather underwhelming.... where is Friedland when you need him? edit: pitcher

SWR 750X through a modern 4x12. Any tone I want, delivered tight and fast.

Besides all excellent options mentioned, have a look at the Verellen meatsmoke. Ben Verellen is usually happy to customize as desired.

Smoke on the Water. Followed closely by Running with the Devil, hit the road jack and Obituary's Slowly We Rot.

Thurely!

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1377530405' post='2188514'] I'd probably define Metal in the general sense as any music in the vein of Hard Rock, Grunge, Glam, NuMetal, Metalcore etc. So bands from Nirvana & Pearl Jam through to Slipknot & Wolfmother. Anything that has 2 or more guitars with a decent amount of dirt on them all. [/quote] That's a sweeping generalisation, completely discarding rock as a genre. Replying to OP: by the description given on wikipedia: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop_music "generally short-to-medium length songs, written in a basic format (often the verse-chorus structure), as well as the common employment of repeated choruses, melodic tunes, and catchy hooks" Yes, most metal fits the Pop Music tag. What a shame so many people grab this opportunity to knock a genre that can be so challenging and diverse. I get the feeling many of the haters couln't play a convincing metal gig to save their life. Ah well, I'm probably too protective of my trade
