  1. The amount of bands referred to as "Thrash" who don't, and never have, played thrash, would make even Jonathan Davis wallow in an unending realm of self-pity. For real.
  2. How is your amp EQ'd? Are you using both pickups together or just one? If one, which one? I've used various J basses for rock over the last 30+ years and never had an issue. If you've scooped the bejesus out of the mid frequencies, on what is already a design which naturally isn't mid-biased, then it's easy to be in the position you're in.
  3. Steve Jones playing on the Megadeth version won't have helped Lydon warm to it either.
  4. With a dice, it only goes up to 6.
  5. Everything is cyclical but, hopefully, not in this case.
  6. They're not supposed to lean either way.
  7. He put out an album called Gravelands about 20 years ago. It's actually very listenable.
  8. Filling and matching would be a pain. Perhaps transparency would work?
  9. I don't mind them but generally lean towards not having them. When they're used to facilitate cheap and crap manufacturing processes, often on quite expensive instruments though, that's unforgivable
  10. Top job, well deserved, that synth line is fantastic 🙂👍🏻
  11. You don't need to imagine, there are plenty of links in the thread.
  12. Focus is fretless Kubicki with some Chapman Stick. The Pestilence and initial Atheist sessions were a couple of years before Focus was recorded, around the same time Masvidal and Reinert were doing Human and Gobel was playing on Imperial Doom. Choy left to join Atheist full-time for Elements.
  13. You could replicate the effect by setting up an amp in the corner, at full volume, plug in a guitar and just leave it to feedback?
  14. To me, it sounds like you've got lots of really low lows (say anything below 90Hz) in there and not much in the way of low mids in that song. Phones (and a lot of contemporary domestic audio equipment) don't do low lows. you've got to have a decent representation of the frequencies above them to come across on all kinds of equipment.
  15. I'll bet he even laughs out of tune, too.
  16. The same or worse than you got for 20 quid in 1999? His live solo efforts have been all trough, zero peak.
  17. Lovely, reminds me of Doug Wimbish's 5 string Spector. It's genuine wear and tear, though, don't cheapen it by calling it a relic. It's the real deal.
  18. I've lived with the CD for a week and love it. It's not a night and day difference, just a little warmer and clearer, to my ears. Less reverb, more detail.
