Im not sure but it had a lot of miles on the clock and too many previous keepers

Mudhoney just went for it anyway and its a classic.

As a biker, the same goes for motorbikes. They are machines, they may have some character but they do not need a name. I used to be in a Jaguar car owners group. One lady referred to her Jag as her growler. I suggested she might want to look up what growler can also mean. She never called it that again.

Yeah that's a fair point

Nissan Juke drivers. What's wrong with them? Why are they all such terrible drivers with no awareness of what's going on around them? If Im on my motorbike, I will always be extremely cautious around them and expect the worst of them.

Electric mountain bikes are fine, as long as they're proper pedal assist ones. ive got one and you still put a lot of effort in but go further and faster. Unfortunately they also attract people to the sport who haven't bothered to learn any technical skills.

A very specific one. The electric mountain bike club who yesterday passed me twice while I was riding my non electric bike up hill and then hold me up at walking pace on a downhill trail where I should have been enjoying the reward of the uphill slog by enjoying the high speed jumps, drops, twisties and rocks.

Thanks for the replies. For £16 I may as well try the behrinnger. If there is a little noise, it'll be hidden when I add distortion and put it in a metal mix.

For a recording project, I want to split my signal so I can record the signal direct out of my bass and route it through an amp to take a dirty signal as well. It looks like a direct box should do the job but they range from £16 for a cheap Behringer to ten times that for a fancy one. Considering, I don't want it to process or alter the signal in anyway, is there any advantage to using an expensive one over a Behringer?

What a hero.

That reminds me, I need another 2x10

Why did you include a quote of my post? I don't see the connection.

Are you a fishmonger?

While were on it, anyone else's kids at school concerts. They're all rubbish and wasting everyone's time.

If he's 20 but with a face relic'd to look 70 with a file and screwdriver then I may accept that his guitar is acceptable.

If I see a relicd guitar or bass on stage, im not hanging around to hear the band. If I see a video thumbnail with thumb about to slap string, im not clicking on it. I don't like bass solos. If I see a fish sticker on the back of a car, I will expect the driver to be incompetent. If anyone calls their kids "dude" or "guys" then their children should be immediately taken in to care and the parent should be put in solitary confinement in Broadmoor.

Controversial but I thought Sergio was the better bassist

Apparently Stephen Carpenter won't leave the US because he's worried about mass shootings. Seriously. I saw them on the Around The Fur tour at Bristol Anson Room. Absolutely brilliant night. I think I spent half the night crowd surfing.

I finally got around to listening to the new Deftones record and what a let down. I think they must have got Lars Ulrich to do the mix. The bass is just buried and only really appears to be mirroring the guitar part. The best bit about Deftones for me was always Chi or Sergio's bass grooves so its a real let down.

Yesterday I tuned my Euro LX4 down to C with a set of .110 - .55 strings. Played in to Reaper through my Two Notes Revolt on the Marshall (dirt) channel its sounding really very close to Rex Brown's tone in the last two Pantera records. It sounds awesome. I was surprised by this considering Rex used Ampegs and Ive not got a Haz preamp yet

Don't they usually just put a room mic inside a rotting goat carcass?

Double tracking is pretty standard but I've never heard of double tracking using an acoustic behind a distorted electric bass.
