Difference between a jazz guitarist and a rock guitarist
SteveXFR replied to Leonard Smalls's topic in General Discussion
Mario does one of these solo composition videos each year as a way to push his creativity and playing and then uses bits of it for the bands new material. I think he's up there with Mike Portnoy, Neil Peart and Danny Carey for technique and skill. I'll check out Bill Brufford -
I forgot about Brainiac. Everything a gentleman of culture needs in a TV show. Science, explosions, destruction and nice ladies

I'm not sure this is quite the same question. You can play metal on anything. I use a P bass for metal at the moment and that's the most generic, non specific, do anything bass ever made. My question was do basses marketed as metal specific offer anything extra for the discerning metal head?

Moist - Janet Jackson I nearly went for the similarly titled Nirvana song but decided its too crude

Several of the top metal drummers have trained in jazz. They've realised that the technical skills from jazz help them create really interesting heavy drum parts such as what this genius does. -
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.

Too Fast- Skulls Awake I'm not afraid to horn in one of my own tunes

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
