  1. Get a Precision and play with your thumb anchored on the arse of the neck with some treble rolled off. Keep the EQ on the amp reasonably flat. Most of it will be in your right hand technique.
  2. I didn't find one and the kit got sold a couple of years ago... which did increase the potential bass storage capacity, or BASTCA, if you will.
  3. Good stuff. Just make sure Guitar 2 doesn't feel like he's being picked on. As above, positive reinforcement all the way.
  4. [quote name='silky13' timestamp='1450818582' post='2936219'] Awesome! Yeah they've all got max 10cm... You got any pictures? [/quote] I have better pics somewhere I cant find right now, but it's the same kind of idea
  5. Although I was born in the UK, I grew up elsewhere and this fascination with supposed "class" is equally fascinating and baffling. From the outside looking in it looks like a self-imposed categorisation which doesn't exist except in the minds of those who subscribe to the notion. I can't think of any other country where the social origin they were born into in would be factored into the potential or authenticity of a band. It's an amazing concept to think of yourself in that way.
  6. Nicely done. I did something similar actually [i]in[/i] the wardrobe. Give no more than 10cm to each guitar and fill it up.
  7. Whatever song titles you come up with, put each word into a thesaurus and pick whichever synonyms have the most letters.
  8. 1. When choosing ice cream, does your guitarist like it whipped or... [i]scooped[/i]? 2. On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being not at all, 10 being entirely, how much does your drummer think he is Neil Peart? 3. How much do I get paid? 4. How much do you get paid?
  9. [quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1450777892' post='2935678'] Boo, did some digging and the E-Tuner (actually a Shadow product) doesn't go low enough for bass - bottom frequency response is 66Hz according to docs. No built in cleverness for me then [/quote] Play the octave harmonic.
  10. 2 because it's better than 3. I wouldn't use one, it looks like there's too much wood missing where the controls will be and you need that area to be as solid as possible and, even though it'll be epoxied to bejaysus, it would still bother me.
  11. Another cracker is Mehliana - Brad Mehldau and Mark Giuliana - it's jazz but with a serious electronic influence. Brilliant, brilliant album. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnH27mxW0KM[/media]
  12. Esbjorn Svensson Trio are very listenable and a great way to dip your toe in. Dan Berglund played upright but he used effects, even distortion, from time to time. Svensson also ran his piano through a pod, they were really something special. Viaticum is a great place to start.

  13. In what context, who am I, venue owner, manager, musician, etc?
  14. I don't think it's as good as the first album but there's still a hell of a lot to like about them. Kotzen is a great singer. They're definitely one of the more interesting rock bands around at the moment.
  15. ...and a snapshot from today after finally getting the SR800LE last Friday after a 25 or so year search. I think it's time to stop for sure. That being said, I really would like to get a Wal MkII in the future
  16. [quote name='Nicko' timestamp='1450372774' post='2932180'] Although SV wasn't very good, a decent bass player would have ruined most of the Pistols sound. Can you imagine what Bootsy would have played under Anarchy? [/quote] I can't and I'd love to see the auditionees who were deemed so unsuitable as to make Bootsy seem like the man for the gig. The best bass player is the most appropriate bass player for the part. They may not be the [i]best[/i] bass player in any other circumstances, but what fits best is what's best and that's often not what's most technically or melodically accomplished.
  17. Warwick Streamer LX, maple body, ebony board, MEC pickups and 2 band EQ. Actually, the neck is originally from a Streamer Jazzman and It was initially unlined but the previous owner had fretlines put in. I swapped necks, making a fretted Jazzman and the fretless LX, much prefer the P & J combo for fretless tones.
  18. [quote name='Myke' timestamp='1450466163' post='2933183'] Are we going to be shortly reading a NBD thread? [/quote] Indeed. I'm quite smitten. It's rather lovely, quite different to modern SRs. I'll get better pics in daylight.
  19. Sadowsky and Bacchus make smaller J bodies, but they don't come cheap. The Bacchus 24 is smaller again, very light too.
