I was once told not to use my Orange amp again and to buy an Ampeg SVT classic because "that's the industry standard". As far as I know they're still looking for a replacement bassist.

I've been in the office today so it's been headphones on all day and exploring new (to me) music. Emma Ruth Rundle was the highlight. Beautiful yet bleak and dark.

Sabbra Cadabra - Black Sabbath

That looks so half arsed. I like it

This over complicated bridge was also not designed by an engineer, not a competent one anyway. What's the username of this bass butchering fool? I need to look up his creations

Number of the Beast - Maiden

Was he the dude with the incredibly complicated prototype bridge that claimed to solve all those problems no one ever has?

European super state - Killing Joke

I've just set up an old Squier P bass with the 4 heaviest from a 4 string set and tuned it to drop A#. I had to drill out the bridge for the heavier B string and file the nut. The truss rod needed a tweak as well. The other problem I had was the low string sounded muddier than a very muddy thing. I replaced the pickups with some cheap Tonerider pickups and now it sounds pretty decent.

Demon Cleaner - Kyuss

Black Mass - Electric Wizard

Bird is the word - The Trashmen

Flying Whales - Gojira

Turbot lover - Judas Priest

Wreck of the SS Needle - Cult Of Luna

Burn the witch - Queens Of The Stone Age

Generally a great tone in isolation won't work in a rock or metal mix. If it sounds like fried buttholes in isolation you're probably about right.

Just turning down the middle frequencies in the EQ. Some basses and amps have the mids low even with the EQ set flat.

50 million year trip - Kyuss

One - Metallica

2 become 1 - Spice Girls

46 and 2 - Tool

3's and 7's - Queens Of The Stone Age

Sadly Peter Steele won't put up much of a fight these days unless you believe in ghosts.

Kick out the jams - MC5
