RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

Don't get anything less than 200 watts ,if you're gonna be playing in a band situation. You've obviously done the right thing by posting here Have a look in the for sale section. Ashdown/peavey/hartke etc....

What can I say about Megadeth?? Quite alot actually... 1st saw them being completely blown off stage at the Hammy o by Flotsam&jetsam (1987?) Then had the misfortune of them being in the way at the Monsters of rock('87 ?) ' (The following week I saw a different M O R lineupi n Germany. Apparently, Mustaine nearly died at donington (literally ) Testament replaced them and were one of the best bands on the bill that day. Fast forward to the mid 2000's, and I saw Megadeth twice at the Asstoria.(correct spelling ) 1st timew ,they were great ,playing all of Peace sells,and more. The last time, they were hideously bad. It was Mustaine & hired band. More life in a crematorium. The behind the music programme on vh1 was good tho'. Slayer are a much better band tho', and are always consistent. When the big 4 do their stuff later this year, I think Megadeth will not be as good as even Anthrax. As for Mr. Lomenzo, did I see him at a White Lion gig at the Old Marquee back in the '80s?

Collection from Abbots Langley in Hertfordshire only though, which will probably put a lot of people off. I'm in no way affiliated with whoever's selling it. Although I do have a couple of Dean basses, and think that generally as a brand they're underrated. H&R[/quote] I've asked the seller a question ,and am awaiting reply .

What about a shortscale bass, like Mustang/musicmaster etc or a headless as already mentioned?

What about a bass pod,or similar to hook to the p a ?

He's probably depressed by all the bum notes he's been playing. I used to have a huge OHM amp/cab 120 watts or so. It was sooooooo loud. My cat used to sleep in the cab. Sounded great,but thank heavens for portability. Far too big to lug around the tube etc.

I have an aEden combo for sale, depends on where you're located

.....after seeing them again last night , that's all I can say really

I remember being a little naive , and hungry for an effects unit back in the mid 90s. (effects prior to then were more or less guitar only ) I used to be a regular reader of the 2 bass mags then. I ended up buying the Boss ME8-B, which got a better rating than the Digitech Bass Whammy. I found it fun in the bedroom ,but the instructions were a pain in the ass! I got the guitar version of the Whammy sent to me in error,so I sent it back,as I hadn't a clue how to use it. I still have the Boss unit,and may try using it with my band for a bit of fun. From what I see now, you get better /more features for less dosh(the Zoom B21.U for instance) Computers have made bass playing more fun (toneport gx etc) you get virtual pedalboards, and some interfaces let you record too! One thing I used to love about AKAI : Their cassette Decks!!

Playe my 1st gig in about 18 months,on friday.New line up etc. 2 bands Ripped Apart/Pier 54 . Not many people there (january/recession/no smoking?) We went down well . Seem to get on ok with the locals . We played 1st (R A ) Think they preferred us. Waiting to see if we can get in to the already full diary.

Sounds like you need to let rip, and rid yourself of pent up aggression. S.O.D./Slayer could help you

[quote name='E sharp' post='728125' date='Jan 28 2010, 09:28 PM']I'm with you all the way I'm in the process of saving and flogging off , to get a yellow Status. Headed 4 string Stealth - black hardware - and all yellow . I mean everything . One piece graphite bass - spray the lot - even pick ups . Will cost a bit more (so Rob informed me a few years ago , and I got the impression that he wasn't too keen) Just thought it'll be a bit different , though after watching an old Top Gear , where they had 3 supercars on a road trip (yellow , orange and green) , any of these colours may also be different . Any of these 3 colours would be great and they're the same as on my kid's duplo (lego) bricks . Yeah yellow - bring it on [/quote] wow!

He could patent an'' Eddie '' series of amps

1 day to go

[quote name='Lfalex v1.1' post='726994' date='Jan 27 2010, 10:27 PM']I want one. Eventually. Must have; Canary Yellow paintjob Black hardware. If it has a scratchplate, that'll be black. Matching (Yellow, then!) headstock. Ebony or (stained darker) Rosewood fretboard No exposed polepieces- or I'll coat them with black nail varnish! Natural coloured frets are a necessary evil. Do DR do coated Yellow strings or will I just have to use Warwick yellow labels!!![/quote] Now we're talkin'
