[quote name='Tait' post='550770' date='Jul 25 2009, 01:08 AM']me and my guitarist were saying we should do a RATM cover in our band, then a guitar teacher we know told us the same thing. i'm thinking take the power back, problem is, then we've gotta tune to drop D. and other suggestions? gotta be lively and fun, but not too much swearing, so thats killing in the name of out. and preferably from the RATM album, because they're the ones everyone knows. bombtrack maybe, but its a bit boring. know your enemy? does anyone play any of these? what goes down well? btw, i'm a massive fan of RATM, or their self titled album at least. i've got evil empire, RATM, renegades, battle of LA and live at the grand olympic on my PC (is that all of their albums? i dunno, their the only ones i could find to download), but tbh, although i've listened to the others, their self titled album is the one i keep going back to. there are some brilliant songs on the other albums, sleep now in the fire, kick out the jams, how could i just kill a man, guerilla radio, people of the sun to name a few off the top of my head, but RATM is the only album i could listen to all the way through and not get bored.[/quote] Know your enemy? great bassline.

Anybody know the name of the Ampeg bloke near Cambridge?

I'm tempted by the Batman game

[quote name='Clarky' post='548416' date='Jul 22 2009, 11:26 PM']Extremely pleasant Mr Punkdude - 3 days in Rome, then 4 days on the Neapolitan coast (Sorrento to be precise). Pasta, ice cream and sun. Can't beat it[/quote] Sounds awesome Sold that VMJ yet?

Why hello Clarky, how was the holiday?

[quote name='budget bassist' post='548394' date='Jul 22 2009, 11:09 PM']Chequered?[/quote] You just needed one

I'm also wondering why my bass room has grown an angle :S

[quote name='budget bassist' post='548332' date='Jul 22 2009, 10:21 PM']nice one you enjoying her? what colour pickguard you geting? also when did you get that sx? looks pretty[/quote] It is an AWESOME bass, seriously got it home and played through the whole RATM self titled album. I got the SX in November from Si (Old Git) great bass seriously modded, I'd go A/B vs a US Fender. I'll give you 3 guesses on the scratch plate

My new SUB is home.

[quote name='BIG.J' post='548238' date='Jul 22 2009, 09:18 PM']No Probs mate, Having a big clear out! Way too much gear. ATB Justin.[/quote] Just seen, good luck with that buddy. What would you call the thingy's that the rack ears screw into?

[quote name='BIG.J' post='548223' date='Jul 22 2009, 09:11 PM']Maplin will have most bits! Glad it arrived ok, Justin.[/quote] Did I not PM you? what a c*** I am. It turned up yesterday but I wasn't at work, just got it this morning with my shiney 'Ray. Really appreciated buddy, if I can make it look how I want it to it's gonna be amazing. You're a legend mate.

I have been given a rack case very kindly, it's pretty sound and I have a nice paint job planned for it but I fear the hardware may be past it. I'm going to need handles, catches and the thingys the rack ears screw into. Where can I get those things from? It's this one.

BURN THEM ALL!!!!!!

Pageing captain Japcrap.

Get a trolley or something, you won't get a full valve sound from a lightweight amp. IMO lightweight amps are a compromise.

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='548085' date='Jul 22 2009, 08:05 PM']This has been a tough year because of the economic climate. We've advertised in the national press at a high cost, but getting bums on seats has been a nightmare. Anyone else suffered from this?[/quote] Yes but at a much smaller scale, you feel a little embarrased when no-one turns up. If you sell half the tickets take half the fee then you will cover cost and look like a really respectable band.

If only had a really big bottle to open.
