Super long straps are more of a punk thing (yes I know, Church of Misery). I did wonder whether they were just an aesthetic thing. An Ibanez SR 5 string would probably do the job quite nicely. A set of super bright strings and a bit of overdrive should get me to a disgraceful metal tone

Having never actually played a metal specific bass I'm curious about whether they're actually anything more than just a bit metal looking. Do they actually fo a better job of producing a good and clanky tone? I ask because I'm a bit curious about the Ibanez Iron label basses as a replacement for my P bass

It's more like the USSR than modern Russia. It has that distinctive bleak, austere landscape of 1970s communism. The sort of depression that leads to the creation of Black Sabbath

I went to Birmingham once. It was an aggregate processing and recycling expo. It wasn't great.

Whether they're using just the mic or the DI or both, it's still the amp that is shaping the sound. I don't see what's wrong with only having the mic on one driver, I've never seen more than two on a cab. The DI probably has a cab sim applied and probably the most common cab sim uses an Ampeg 8x10 IR.

That really does look just like it. I'm fairly sure anything can sound good through an Ampeg SVT Classic

I would never go and see any band with me in it -

Lemmy getting ditched by Hawkwind. If that hadn't happened, Motorhead wouldn't have formed and Lemmy wouldn't have achieved metal god status and Hawkwinds latest bassist wouldn't have bought my Thunderbird vintage pro which I wish I'd kept

I was owed a favour by a mate who makes banners for a living. I wasn't going to call in the favour but he insisted so now we have a 2m square, plastic coated canvas banner. It looks great but weighs a ton. I've no idea how I'll support the bugger

I used to be in a band with a guitarist who went on about the tonal effects of all sorts of stuff including paint. You can really hear minute tone the differences through his fuzz, reverb, wah and overdriven valve amp.
