  1. One of my favourite basslines! I'd be surprised if it wasn't supposed to be played like that.
  2. Subterranean Homesick Alien - Radiohead
  3. Sleeping Man - Entwistle
  4. Run Of The Mill - Judas Priest
  5. Fit Boy + Faint Girl by 3 Colours Red - irritating buzzy fret during the bass solo at 1:37: Really pronounced buzz on the open A string in Starless - it's subtle at first but as the distortion increases it really jumps out at 6:10:
  6. Shake Your Blood - Probot
  7. Beware of Darkness - George Harrison
  8. Death on Mars - Jukebox Monkey
  9. The Invisible Man - Queen
  10. Theme From Something Really Important - Duane Eddy
  11. I'm not familiar with NOFX - post a song on here with the sound you like and I'm sure we'll be able to chip in with some ideas!
  12. Maybe Tomorrow - The Iveys
  13. Thank U Very Much - Scaffold
  14. Any NOFX songs in particular?
  15. I think the age limit for learning slap has recently been scrapped so you'll be fine! Seriously though, slap is just another technique like any other, and can be played as a basic root note or a complete technical show off routine. There's no reason slap has to be a display of fingerboard pyrotechnics. Give it a go!
  16. Dirty Women - Black Sabbath
  17. Pure Morning - Placebo
  18. I've owned several Ricks over the years. Each one has played and sounded very different to the last. RIC's quality control is disgraceful. I've owned my current 4003 for coming up to 2 years and it's the nicest one I've had - no dodgy QC issues, consistent tone, defined E string. Outside of a custom job, there is NOTHING that sounds like them. People will say a Fender Jazz or Peavey T40 do but they don't really. The thing with a Rick is they are very fussy with regard to what amp you use. I've seen people in guitar shops excitedly asking to try out a 4003, getting plugged into the nearest TC Electronic combo and scratching their heads at the tone. If you're expecting that Roger Glover sound, that won't happen without either a big old valve head or an effect of some sort. I use various Tech 21 preamps and it loves them all. I don't particulary like the ergonomics, and replaced the original bridge with a Hipshot so setups aren't a pain now. In spite of all that, I am thinking of selling it as the neck has a very 'unique' (odd) profile and is starting to feel like a bit of a lump to me now and it's always on my mind when I'm playing.
  19. Interesting!
  20. I Want It All - Queen
  21. Who Are You - Black Sabbath
  22. I Won't Forget You - Faith No More
  23. Same Old Song And Dance - Aerosmith
