RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

I'd be amazed if it wasn't satch tbh. Maybe something off of the time machine album ?

Strange the way the world has changed so much in a relatively short time growing up I used to love football and heavy metal . Metal was always seen as the underdog of music and often ridiculed . I remember reading shoot magazine , and the subject of shirt sponsorship before it got to where it is now . Now you have Metallica ( metallicorp ) , and maiden who are absolutely massive . Great bands no complaints . I always knew maiden would be massive since seeing them at the marquee , music machine etc sane with Metallica . But tbh , never knew these bands would be this big , and metal in general . Having said all that , I'm bored of football now and refuse to pay to watch it ,especially with the likes of saddo berhanino/ sanchez and a lot more mercenaries who get paid way too much and decide if they can be bothered to play or not . Plus you have the managers who lose the dressing room..you get the picture .. Fair play to stevie tho who is living the dream , and doing his bit for the club ..

Being a semi novice recording wise, I'm curious of the novation launchpad mini, which can be used on iPad and Mac . Not wanting to shell out full price, I just purchased the mark 2 version for £38.09 instead of £68. One of the reasons for this is because the mk 3 version has just been released .my thinking is that if I get on with the mk 2, I'll try and get a similar deal this time next year ...

Yeah, I can't remember the song titles , but love the first track The rest is not my bag , but he is an awesome player

I bought the album years ago. it's roscoe beck . He has his own range of signature fenders iirc.Haven't played it for years . if you don't get anymore replies I could check the cd cover over the weekend

Thanks bass assassin . If there was a way of swapping that unit with a steinberger one I would . The steinberger ones come up on ebay a lot of the time ,but I have a feeling that if I got one it wouldn't fit . I'm wondering if I took it to a tech, whether it would be expensive to repair and would it be a permanent fix in a good way, or whether they may dissemble it and spray lubricant and I'd have same problem further down the line.Its not my main bass , but it is the lightest .

Keep a lookout for apps next week . Thanksgiving and Black Friday .. in the meantime I'm after a 3 seater leather sofa.

👍 I notice you have good speaker wire there also . Looks like qed. 79 strand ( apologies for wearing the anorak 😼)

Nice bass😼 I don't think yours has the Kubicki style wheels tho? It may be relevant , or may not . glad I've given you ideas 😹

Thanks for that Bassbod. I'll look into it when I'm feeling brave😼

There's nothing to say really , as the posts above and below sum everything up you have managed to stand back and assess what's right for you . Enjoy the time off Lozz and at least you know now that you will feel better doing things on your terns , whatever you decide what to to and how you're doing it . all the best 😼

Howdy! I have a nice custom made fretless purchased from a basschatter and all was good until the tuners couldn't turn anymore and I could not get the bass back to standard tuning . I sprayed some dw40 to no avail the a string snapped . I'm wondering if it's best to give it in to a repairers or is it something like a washer could be needed? The tuning system is more like a kubicki with the ' wheels' by the bridge but steinberger type tuners also,. please advise if you can Thanks

FWIW , I thought at the time that the bass of dd verni ( overkill ) had the best cutting twangy sound from the '80's thrash era. You could actually hear it cutting through . Could be wrong , but I would think active bass makes a difference . You wouldn't get that sound on a telecaster bass for example . I have the demanufacture cd from fear factory which also may appeal . On a slight tangent , I managed to find the drivers to my line 6 toneport ux1 which features pod farm line 6 . There are loads of presets for guitar more than bass, but the sound you want is on that . great for home noodling on your computer . Maybe the sounds would be available on the bass pod ? Not too expensive .

Love chicken foot , so beg to differ here . Great live also audioslave ? I bought the first album , but only played it twice . mind funk . Had the album , but sold it . One good cheesy track..They supported someone at hammy o and were ok . They could have been much better . winery dogs ? Played the first album a lot . Saw them twice . excellent gig at Camden underworld . The gig at the forum was beginning to bore me. Asia ? Bored me silly when I used to hear them on the radio sabbath with dio . I saw them on the heaven and hell tour . Truly awful I can't stand that album either except neon nights . The live evil album is truly dreadful imho . They had vinnie appice on drums at the time .
