I didn't but BGM is always tucked away at the back! Looking at it now though, not sure what I'm looking for though...

[quote name='Dazed' timestamp='1467738010' post='3085792'] The Intel advert. [/quote] To this day I expect it to continue into Tubular Bells.

I wanted this, you beat me to it!

Wow.

But they do all have waffer-theen necks.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1466339843' post='3075038'] Good practice not to be a slave to playing open strings as that wont transpose very well. If you play fretted, key shifts are just another position on the neck around the same shape. For this song, most will play in the original key but if you cover a lot of music then other keys come into play. You've heard the one about how to shut up a gtr..?? give him a horn key... Same would apply to bass.. [/quote] Fair enough. I've never really thought about it like that. I've always played WGFA in the original key of A and as per the version above use lots of open strings - there are a few pull offs onto open strings which give the line a certain swagger. I imagine the line would stiffen up if played elsewhere on the neck.

Alice Cooper and The Darkness at the O2 tomorrow. Best bit - it was free!

And Ian Paice has just had a stroke! What's going on?!

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1465917462' post='3072081'] Just sounded like a P bass to me. [/quote] Exactly. Had he been playing with the tone up we would have a better idea.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1465846084' post='3071574'] Oh.. and as is good practice, IMO.. avoid open strings as much as poss [/quote] Why is this good practice? Serious question.

I am now the happy owner of fretmeister's EHX Micro Pog. To quote eBay: "A smooth transaction, great comms throughout. Top seller +++++". Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to pretend I'm playing an 8 string.

It's a bit old-hat - the first song in particular is very 2000 - but it's very slick and accomplished for ones so young. Fair play to 'em. Not sure if it's intentional or not but I'm sensing a strong Roadrunner Records/NYHC vibe as well.
