Truth II - Bossk A bit of post rock genius

I learnt that one last year. It really is good and more tricky than I expected, mostly because of the weird rhythms. All REM bass lines are great to play.

Three suns and one star - Down

Basschat is GB News for musicians.

I think I've played with this person. A lot of enthusiasm, no ability and a huge amount of weed. Actually, that describes three guitarists I've encountered.

¿Cuál es el mejor bajo para metal?

People in the audience might not hear what you're playing but people in the next town will hear if you hit the wrong note. Keep it simple, a complex bass part played badly makes your band sound terrible but a simple bass part played well makes your band sound great. Timing is everything.

There are no greatest basslines. Its too subjective to decide the absolute best.

I see what you're saying but after listening to both, Turnover just beats Waiting Room. The main riff is so catchy and then there's that fast killer riff halfway through when it goes double time. Waiting Room only really has the one riff although it is excellent and its illegal to pick up a Stingray and not play it.

I think bassists are the worst people to pick the three best bass lines as it'll most likely be some virtuoso nonsense like Joe Dart or Jaco Pistorious or some million note a second slapper. Here's my possibly terrible pics. Peaches - The Stranglers Rotten Apple - Alice In Chains Turnover - Fugazi

You could but Id recommend sticking in a Dingwall triple humbucker. You'll have to modify the body a touch obviously but I could lend you a hammer and chisel

Seems like the sort of thing a guitarist would do

Don't discount the fan frets, I find they feel really natural to play. It took about half on hour before I learned to just ignore the fact it was fan fret and just play it and it felt fine. I had the Ibanez SRMS805 which is less extreme than the Dingwall. My experience of fan frets was a much brighter and more defined B string. If you don't want that, then don't get fan frets

I have a question about BB1100S controls. Have I got this right? Three on the bottom are active eq control. On the top, starting from the bridge end its three way pickup selector, active/passive switch, passive tone, volume knob. There's no pickup blend. Is that correct?

Local band, Nuns Of The Tundra at Bristol Academy tonight. They booked the gig to play the second stage but determined to sell enough tickets to be upgraded to the main stage and they've done it. This will be by far their biggest show so hopefully, they'll be on top form.
