RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

Hope it all works out for ya. The price of lamb and wool will bne better than here anyway

I use a stool. It's got wooden legs. Unfortunately the cushion bit is flowery. It was my brothers I'm after some fake leather and a staple gun .

[quote name='thepurpleblob' post='476276' date='Apr 30 2009, 06:38 PM']My objection is pure prejudice... we cover Basket Case and American Idiot. I hate those songs... I know absolutely nothing about them except everything I've heard sounds dreadful. I seem to remember they covered "The Saints are Coming" which was just rude!! I think this is my repost to the current thread about songs that are easy and you like to play - this is about songs that are easy that I hate to play You can add "I Fought the Law" to that list and, before you say anything, I'm a big Clash fan. Nasty bass line on that though.[/quote] The Clash? Now that's a band I can't get on with

Nice collection

Cool bass. I agree with you Still thinking about the Dean Taxi bass in yellow tho'

Saw 'em a few years ago when I 1st got cable. MTV used to keep showing this outdoor gig . I found that slightly amateurish. I then saw them on TV at the Woodstock festival and thought they were rubbish. I bought single ''When I Come around'' and think that's really good. When I did a birthday gig a few years back ,we did'' basket case''. Great song that most cover bands do now as standard. About 3 years ago while playing my cds at work, colleague put American idiot on . I now have it,and think it's really good. I think that they are all very talented ,and also like the look of MD'S bass. Talking about bands that could be hated:NINE INCH NAILS !! More meat on an oxo cube, they sound more like Human League when they should be more like Ministry!

Have you tried Billy Sheehan?

[quote name='john_the_bass' post='474508' date='Apr 28 2009, 07:23 PM']Does he keep speeding up and slowing down as well and forget where the [gear] changes are?! [/quote] Yeah,pretty much.....

I get driven by mr.Drums. No sense of direction,jolty at times but I'm not complaining.

What about a teacher? Or a DVD of a Bass player you like ?

I've noticed that not much bass stuff is advertised on flea bay these days. Go back to over a year,there was so much to drool over..

I was thinking the same question. Green is the colour ,surely

You have a good budget there. You seem to have a fairly good idea already. Things to think about: Scale length...shorter scale may be better if you play guitar already. 4or 5 string.....you did play guitar so you may miss a string or two. You'll get lots of advice here,and you may even purchase a good'un from someone on this forum.

Awesome bass! I detest garlic tho'. I think cats piss smells better! (Yes really) If it came with a case,get rid of the case. I could imagine you'll have to get high quality cleaner for the bass tho'. Let me know what polish(not poleish ) you go for if you do

Went to a Malmsteen gig a few years ago(Schenker had a strop and didn't turn up!) Anyway Yngwie threw the body of one of his cheapy strats into the crowd. It just missed my head but me &my friend got it. My friend got a lot of criticism when he tried to sell it to Malmsteen fans. I think he still has it...

I bought a hohner professional off a good friend of mine back around '89-90. Anyway that was passive,felt great. The only problem I had was that altho' the pickups were EMG SELECT they sounded a bit wooly and not as bright as I'd like. I've seen someone use the one with the active/passive switch and that sounds better. With the active setting,its LOUD!! I sold mine about 3 years ago as I got a full body Steiney which is the real mccoy. One other thing to mention...when I was going to band rehesrsal in some house in Fulham I was told tobe careful as the area 's a bit rough and that could easily be mistaken for a gun.

Don't really think it would work in certain pubs. I would like to do it in the right surroundings tho'. If I could retrieve my 1st bass (Hondo11 -precision copy) that would be ideal. Having said that, by the time I'm finished it would be about 3 in the afternoon and I'd get a bill for damaging he pub

[quote name='MB1' post='465060' date='Apr 17 2009, 02:35 PM']MB1. British and Earlier the better!.... Pre Gibson!....and Yes they are all quite heavy!...built to last! [/quote] +1 I had a GP 350 WATT COMBO. Unfortunately for me ,it was too awkward for my flat. It didn't seem to like my Telecaster much either.And it was heavier than my sister in law. I love the look tho' especially with LEDS . Horses for courses ,I suppose. I thought that my Eden Nemesis,and Aguilar sounded much more clear and defined.

Maybe the Zoom b2 1.u,Behringer Bass v-Amp , Line 6 ?

Welcome 12 string. Must mess around with my 8 string now after seeing you. It sounds a cross between Greek wedding music and Lemmy. Will look at your website later. Do you play whole gig with the 12?

I suppose from my angle,I'd put it down to the female voice I listen to the most. For me that would be Doro Pesch :wub: Bass player to go with that? Billy Sheehan

[quote name='marley' post='466257' date='Apr 18 2009, 05:23 PM']Well this is going to be the bass that im going to use forever(I hope!) so £2500, maybe a wee bit more if my parents love me enough! lol[/quote] If that's the case and you're never gonna sell it, get one custom made
