  1. If I could go back in time to the mid 80's and give myself some advice when I first started playing that would be invaluable as a bass player, it would include but not necessarily be limited to; Pick up a short scale and stick with it. You're a short arse and 34" scale basses are way to big and cumbersome so don't waste the next 25-30 years fannying about with them. A 30" P or PJ is all you'll ever need. Do not - under any circumstances - buy that Trace Elliot SMX rig in the early 90's. Just don't. It's a gutless, one trick pony that will do your head in for years to come. Stick with the Marshall Jubilee rig instead. Or a Peavey of some sort. Learn some theory sooner rather than later. A little goes a long way. Don't play with loads of crap drummers, your timing is bad enough without those idiots hindering you. Learn more covers even if you don't like them. It will push your playing more than doing your own thing ever will. Don't gig on opium. Ever. I repeat, DO NOT buy that f@cking Trace rig no matter how cool it looks.
  2. F@ck the police -NWA
  3. Going nowhere - Therapy
  4. Going underground - also by The Jam
  5. Anarchy in the UK - Sex Pistols
  6. Cannibal song - Ministry Which coincidentally I've just posted on the Post punk & Alt rock thread. Great tune!
  7. Just rediscovered this blast from the past. Sit back, pop your class A of choice and get lost in its hypnotic groove.
  8. Under pressure - Queen & Bowie
  9. Mothers eyes - Power of Dreams
  10. I think you're right in that it's not possible! The easiest way around it would be to use an external footswitch for the tuner. Even if you only need a total of 4 footswitches you could always use a single external switch with a standard mono cable, you'd just need to figure out if it would default to footswitch 4 or 5 in the global settings but that should only take a minute. It ought to work as in the past I've not pushed my TRS cable in fully and only had my twin footswitch working on one channel. Lots of swearing and reboots later I managed to figure it out
  11. Cross eyed Mary - Jethro Tull
  12. The unknown knows - Voivod
  13. Falling to pieces - Velvet Revolver
  14. Have you tried a hard reset? Line 6 recommend doing it after every firmware update as counterintuitive as it sounds! Don't quote me on this as it's been a while since I have done it but it's something simple like holding down foot switch 3 (possibly 2 and 3 similtaneously) while you boot up the Stomp. I had a behavioral issue with mine a while ago and this sorted it, it seems to clear out any clutter from the cache when updating the firmware.
  15. The other side - Red Sun Rising
  16. Achilles last stand - Led Zeppelin
  17. You shouldn't do that - Hawkwind
  18. You can upload sound files, other users have done it, but it's not something that I've done myself so although I'm not certain I'd guess you just upload it as you would a picture using the Choose files option. That's on the desktop version of the site, I'm not sure if it works the same on the mobile version.
  19. That doesn't sound quite right to me. Although I've not had one of these Ampeg units I have had a few different pre-amps over the years and none have been excessively noisy, IMO. Obviously if you start adding high gain drive and lots of high end then things get inherently noisier but at clean and low gain settings you shouldn't really be having the problems you describe. And all the pre's that I've used have had plenty of volume boost available too, even with clean sounds, so if you're having to crank it to reach unity then it sounds like something's not right. If you bought it new there should be at least a 12 month manufacturers warranty so drop the retailer a line about getting it replaced. If you bought used there's not a lot you can do about it, unfortunately.
  20. Too young to fall in love - Motley Crue
  21. Therapy? Now there's a band who have penned some catchy, cracking tunes over the last 30 odd years...
  22. Sweaty Betty - The Mac Lads
  23. No mention of New Model Army yet, some fantastic bass playing on the first 2 albums, Vengeance and No rest for the wicked. Check out the title track of the second album;
  24. Young, gifted and skint - New Model Army
