Bob Dylan wrote brilliant songs for better musicians to cover. Having said that, here's the Ministry cover of Lay Lady Lay. I don't know what I like about it but I do so here it is.

Well I've picked up a bargain Ibanez SRMS805 on ebay Thanks for all the replies.

Are you sure it's not a baritone guitar? That's what they look like and I know they make a range of baritone guitars.

I'll check out that Solar. I could live without the G string. I'm playing stoner metal so don't get up that high. Probably 60% of what I play is on the low A# string

If there's a genre of art which uses only circles and straight lines and 3rd angle projection then that's the job for me

I'd love a Dingwall but my £1000 budget says no.

Good points. My degree is in engineering and that's the only career I've ever had so I'd never thought about the transferable skills. If only I could transfered my knowledge of metallurgy and swearing to another profession.

She's mainly in to rock and metal but is more than happy to play anything, she gets roped in to theatre activities and playing for bands missing a bassist or guitarist. I think she'd be quite happy playing pop or musicals as a day job as long as she could find time for a metal band for fun.

I'm looking for a 5 string to use with my band. I play in drop A# (A# F A# D#) and currently using a P bass tuned down with some suitably heavy (.14 lowest) strings and it's all a bit mushy on the low A# string. The lack of string tension doesn't help with fast picking. I'm wondering whether the extra scale length of an MS instrument might give better note definition. They seem to be popular with metal bands who tune super low and I'm guessing there must be a reason.

Creature of the wheel - White Zombie

I recently had a conversation with my daughters A level music teacher, he strongly believes she has the talent and attitude for a career in music. We had discussed this in the past and come to the conclusion that it would be a rewarding career but pretty low paid so maybe not worth investing in university. Had we got it wrong? Are there careers in music which can pay a wage for a comfortable living? We're going for a meeting with the music teacher but it would be nice to get some info from those in the music industry as well. Apparently she has quite a talent for production as well as playing.

Moist lady part - Nirvana

Eton Trifles - The Jam

Blood diamonds - Simple Minds

It is certainly one of my favourites and it introduced my to Julie Christmas and her excellent band Made Out Of Babies. I particularly enjoy this live version of Mariner

The bass is low in the mix on both but it's not the full Lars Ulrich mix. NOLA is a really brilliant record, an all time metal great but I can't have Phil Anselmo at my funeral

Starting with a song that just blows my mind, and incredible vocal performance and a brilliant piece of heavy music Reflection to the soundtrack of a song which I just love. Beautifully dark. Departure to something much more upbeat. My favourite punk record of all time with a bass line I could never play. Arrival Reflection Departure

Thunder - Prodigy

Our local pub landlord keeps moaning that no one wants to play his pub for free. Maybe he should try this set up.
