We've tried it through my 500w Orange Terror and its a great clean sound but even with max gain and my preamp pedal at max gain it isn't particularly dirty. Probably for the best, I don't want my gear getting "borrowed"

Old Peavey stuff is bombproof. New stuff not so much.

Insane in the membrane - Cypress Hill

I have looked at them but couldn't find a good one within 100 miles. Same with Peavey

Hi everyone. I just gave my daughter a nice guitar for Christmas and she's only got a bass amp so really needs a guitar amp. Has anyone got suggestions for something with lots of gain and enough power for band practice but not much more than £100 used? She's playing metal so super creamy clean tones are not required.

Head like a hole - Nine Inch Nails

Straight outta Compton - NWA

I could just never get in to Megadeath. I think it's Dave Mustains vocals that ruin it for me. Jason Newstead definitely deserved better. It's a shame no one has remixed And Justice For All and a shame he didn't get picked up by another major band.

Angel Dust - Faith No More The first album where Billy Gould really showed the full range of his talent and versatility. The record blurs genres with bits of pop, heavy metal, lounge jazz and alternative rock mashed together in to something completely original. Paranoid - Black Sabbath Geezer Butler at his most creative and possibly the most influential metal album ever. And out come the wolves - Rancid Matt Freeman was absolutely on fire from the first note to the last on this album. About as far from typical punk bass as it gets. He combines elements of ska, rockabilly and punk in to something really special and in my opinion, the greatest punk album of all time.

Sanitarium - Metallica

Blue Monday - Orgy

Blue Monday - New Order That's put an end to the Christmas songs. Let's have no more

State of non return - Om

Area 51 - The Charletons

Hurt - Jonny Cash

Making good progress with White Zombies Thunderkiss 65 today. Really, really good bass line and really fu to play. I find it really helps my motivation when my bass sounds good so I spent some time tweaking my compressor and preamp and got it sounding really good which I'm sure helped my progress.

Don't worry, we don't let him buy more than one round at most and we let him know we appreciate it. We never let him drive because he's a bloody terrible driver!

We have a chap in our team who doesn't drink or eat meat for religious reasons. He comes with us to the pub, has non alcoholic drinks and buys rounds including our booze. We respected his culture and he respected our lack of culture. Top bloke.

I heard them recently just on an auto thing on Spotify. Really good, a lot of energy. Quite a lot of naughty words

Thanks. I'll check that out tomorrow

It's these bloody awful online training courses that we have to do. They are quite obviously just a box ticking exercise. Leave the video playing in the background while working then do the ridiculously easy test in about 2 minutes.

Sharp dressed man - ZZ Top

I've been listening to quite a lot of dub and reggae this week. Playing bits and pieces. I seem to keep going back to Black Uhuru. Something about it just really works for me.

I'm three quarters of the way there with Evidence by Faith No More. Absolutely loving playing this one. Also just playing around with bits of dub and reggae to try to understand it. Really enjoying it. Next up is Thunder Kiss 65 by White Zombie. Classic bit of 90's alt metal and a great bass line. https://youtu.be/yPNFVj-pISU

I think that's probably very similar to the training we get. It's utter crap. We got it after "discriminating" against a team member because we didn't invite him for a night out. None of us liked him because we spend so much time putting right his incompetence.
