I had a mudbucker. Great bass, but an unusable pickup for my needs. Earthworms could hear it, but no-one else.

Seeing Rush for the first time since about 1980 proved too much for her Cheers Mark[/quote] What the heck's going on with Rush? They used to be MY band. Now they're even in the flippin' Sun.

There are loads of bands that were improved by the use of drugs - look at the sh*t the 'clean' Chili Peppers are putting out these days.[/quote] I think that says more about how the Chili Peppers can't create anything decent without a bit of help, rather than the benefits of drugs. Ask Frank Zappa.

Has anyone got any experience with Tea Bag-End cabs? I'm just wondering if the way the grille is perforated lets the tone flow out uninhibited...?

I's a bit of a Jarre freak, and I like loads of acoustic stuff. So... nah. There doesn't have to be bass. BUT... when it coms to The Black Keys, White Stripes, etc.. I'd rather hear them with a bass. Never liked the Doors.

I still don't get it. I guess it's just not fer me...

[quote name='silddx' post='1244200' date='May 25 2011, 01:18 PM']Err, it seems utterly pointless to me. Would someone kindly explain what I'm missing here please.[/quote] I'm struggling with it, too...

Wow.. this thread is heavy going. Anyone fancy a cuppa? I'll pop the IEC on.

[quote name='bubinga5' post='1243643' date='May 24 2011, 11:04 PM']i must be stuck in 2004 then..whats wrong with enjoying something thats now, regardless of how its made..? just because someone makes music in a certain way doesnt mean its not good.. just me maybe.. [/quote] That's fair enough. I'm just saying that, as a result of how it's made, I find it dull and linear. Always did. Each to their own, eh?

[quote name='bubinga5' post='1243630' date='May 24 2011, 10:56 PM']IMO, ok he is looping , but the guy is very good. and what a voice..[/quote] Oh, aye... I'd rather hear it with a band behind him. Once the novelty wears off (as it did in 2004 for me), I always find looped stuff to be dull and linear.

Every time I see someone building tracks with a looper, I want to shake them by the lapels and scream 'It's not 2004 any more!!' Yeah, it's clever... but a band would do it [i]better[/i]. IMO, of course.

[quote name='skidder652003' post='1243601' date='May 24 2011, 10:38 PM']Im sorry but was it me or as per usual, was every band bass player on the show tonight slinging a precision or a jazz WTF? Dont get me wrong, i love em but FFS whats that saying about every young bass player in a commercially successful band, sheep or what? Or does the "evil" empire of Leo have the industry's balls in a vice like grip of kudos and commercial nounce? - Discuss....[/quote] Maybe they just like them.

[quote name='Spoombung' post='1242655' date='May 24 2011, 09:49 AM']In fact he's the toast of the bass-playing world at the moment.[/quote] Is he?

Glad you like it! [quote name='Jesso' post='1242401' date='May 23 2011, 10:41 PM']The bag is great[/quote] I wouldn't give the bag a pat on the back yet. IME, it's a pain in the arse to lug about, and the steel loops will eventually bend and make it unsafe to use. ...unless they've since revised the design.
