I'd quite like a reverse headstock so I could put a hipshot on it. I've heard the extra length of the E makes the downtuning to D better. Not sure if it's true though.

Luis Cardenas. Just because he had the biggest drum kit in the world And Tommy Lee when he had the kit that did the somersault. Both great drummers too BTW.

done!

I've had a P and a J, but I always wanted a P with a J neck.

Membership of the Musicians Union gives you up to £2,000.00 worth of free insurance. The rates for increasing the amount covered are quite reasonable too. For some the MU sub is worth it for the insurance alone, plus you get all the other benefits of MU membership. rates here, the student rate is really cheap too.

For the first time my current trio in the same place. I'm not saying gas is sated totally - can it ever be? - but I'm more than happy with what I have First up the custom Iceni [attachment=69117:P9140001.JPG] and here it is in action [attachment=69118:n5383362...887121.5.jpg] Next up the Hamer Blitz. [attachment=69119:hamer.jpg] [attachment=69120:6051_100...784160_n.jpg] And now the custom Shuker [attachment=69122:Shuker6.jpg]

started on 4's, went to a 6 and a 5, and am now happily back on 4's but with drop D's (2 extra frets on the E, or a hipshot).

Protools free version, probably a bit of learning required though. Audacity is quite simple to use - or as simple as these things get - and has some fans on here.

will probably bring a few mates to Walthamstow. But if you don't use one of the 'Axes' I'll be disappointed!

any chance of an update and pics?

i originally learned the modes the hard way on a jazz course (which was disguised as a popular music course) by learning the notes of the scales and remembering the box patterns. Years later after fogetting most of it all, I got Billy Sheehan's video, where he explained modes in terms of one pattern (major scale) all over the neck. Simply use different degrees on the pattern for the new roots of the modes. Opened up the bass for me. Respect to Bill

Don't forget to put pix in the Iceni thread!

I defy any bass player, to learn [i]Earthquake [/i]by Graham Central Station (Larry, need I say more?) and not love it, and not love playing it!

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='1066145' date='Dec 21 2010, 08:39 PM']Given that [i][b]High weight[/b][/i] does NOT equal [i][b]Great tone[/b][/i], I can't think of any reason to buy a heavy bass.[/quote] my custom Iceni was originally built with everything as heavy as possible because the guy ordering thought the heavier the bass the greater the tone. It had a new neck before it came to me, and I had a new body built (both still by Mike) so I can't really make any point about the weight issue now

cool thread. Your old band sound like someone Primus may have been influenced by.

[quote name='Bass_Guardian' post='1061113' date='Dec 16 2010, 10:56 PM']Today to my joy I have ordered my first real new bass. It's nothing special but I'm sure I'll love it to bits. I was wondering if anyone has ordered online from guitar guitar before? How was delivery and how well set up was the bass etc? Regards Alex[/quote] what bass is it?

[quote name='silddx' post='1059355' date='Dec 15 2010, 10:31 AM']Amazing isn't it![/quote] +1

How about a Basschat meet beforehand?

The first Yes I heard was Save the Whale. So it wasn't until Owner of a Lonely Heart that I listened to them again.

I've owned a few basses over the years, but the one that works for me is the custom one I had built didn't cost peanuts though
