Skybone

Likewise, just don't get Muse, so haven't listened to any of the bass lines.

Best amp for metal? Someone elses.

Whatever deals I can find for D'Addario Pro Steels, usually about £22, but they seem to have gone up quite a bit recently. Good job I have a few sets "in stock".

For me, it's Hooky. Never been a fan of either Joy Division or New Order.

Parasite Hilton and Other Flaws Inherent to Wealth - Abominable Iron Sloth

Remember being very tempted by one of those when they came out. Seeing those pics, I'm still sorely tempted! Enjoy!

Before buying my first 4003, I'd bought, played & sold any number of basses. Been after a Ric for many years, but never quite took the plunge. When I finally did get one, it was more than I expected, and became "The One". Cue one Economic Down-Turn, and a few other financial priorities, and "The One" had to become the one on sale. Thankfully, a few years ago, I lucked out in finding a relatively cheap "player grade" one, so bought it. Yup, that's now "The One".

Like Lozz said, probably the best place to start would be a Zoom multi, probably the B1 Four might be the best place to start. It is of course, a very slippery slope...

They tend to be very US oriented. Have you tried TalkBass? Again, US based, but a more "Global" user base.

Saw the posts on Facebook, obviously took an interest as it's a Ric, and the connection with Swervedriver. Good luck with the hunt for your old bass. Definitely not the one in my avatar though, that's a 4003.
