I'll have some of that :-)

Good review very useful. Can you add to it when you gig it? [size=4] [/size]

[quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1451035307' post='2937914'] So does this mean we need to work out which bass is best for each particular sub-genre ?. [/quote] Funnily enough, the only difference between Glam metal (as it was at the time) and thrash metal basses, was just the colour. For example both genres used spikey BC Rich types, but whereas bright and day glo colours were part of Glam, black and dark colours tended to be thrashed. IIRC back in the day there was a BC Rich ad featuring Poison & Slayer.

If not for Vernon Reid messing him about, he would be bassist for the 'Stones.

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1450962586' post='2937405'] I like both. Maybe do a cross genre - Death Hair Metal. [/quote] Celtic Frost - Cold Lake

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1450133873' post='2929993'] Looking very good. I'd prefer a P neck, but hey. [/quote] Hey indeed. For me P body, but J neck, is the way to go :-)

Does 'medium' scale count as short scale My Shuker is 30" but it has an extra 2 frets Kubicki style. Being a short are it suits me perfectly.

Nice, always though these look good in white.

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1450526839' post='2933601'] I've never heard that and know people saw them and worked with them. Any evidence? [/quote] As Lydon charted the early part of his childhood, featured in his new book Anger is my Energy: My Life Uncensored,there was a surprising vulnerability about a man known more for puking on stage in the 70s punk era Read more: http://www.gloucestershireecho.co.uk/Cheltenham-Literature-Festival-punk-rocker-John/story-23110650-detail/story.html#ixzz3uoxSmN58

That thread where the OP was told he was wrong for liking what he liked, and was told what he should like

[quote name='MacDaddy' timestamp='1450523340' post='2933542'] I think it's forgotten now, that as part of his 'act', Rotten would actually throw up, on stage. [/quote] Who was the poor sod in each venue that had to clean it up?

[quote name='drTStingray' timestamp='1450519257' post='2933498'] Certainly kings of outrageous behaviour (very comical at times) - sad and pretty awful at times. [/quote] I think it's forgotten now, that as part of his 'act', Rotten would actually throw up, on stage.

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1450264506' post='2931075'] Heil PR40 is a good contender - but if possible take a DI also. [/quote] as I said, DI not possible. No DI out and if I put the bass through a DI box it will be dry through the PA, as the amp modeling and fx's are generated by the head. There is a digital out - for recording - but this cuts the sound to the speaker.

[quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1450264205' post='2931071'] So how do you then get "my sound" out front even if you Mic it up? Does the pa have ampeg cabs out front? [/quote] haven't gigged with this combo yet. which PA?

John Lydon specifically states in his autobiography that the Pistols did not get a soundtrack [size=4] [/size] [size=4]. [/size] [size=4]BTW my parents did know Peter Sutcliffe. [/size]

DI not possible with my amp/combo. No DI out, and as it's a modelling amp, a DI box would not be giving my sound. But the OP was about YOU and your Mic preferences!

[quote name='JamesBass' timestamp='1450127275' post='2929917'] What sound are you going for? [/quote] Different sounds at different times :-)

Does anyone have a preference?

Any thread that is best for metal.

Honourable mention for Captain Sensible on the first two Damned albums.

Tim!

[quote name='cetera' timestamp='1449955073' post='2928407'] Gotta have me one of these!!! [/quote] Me too, but not at nearly €400.

[quote name='Highfox' timestamp='1449945039' post='2928289'] There are a few.. Paul Simonon, as he hasn't been mentioned yet. [/quote] Except in the OP [size=4] [/size]

As Machine Gun Etiquette is still one of my fave albums, Algy Ward. Gaye Black Tony James Dave Tregunna
