Justin also used Stingrays for some Aenima stuff. As thodrik mentions other bassists have a similar sound without the Wal. Jeff Caxide used a Stingray, check out any of the track's on Isis' Wavering Radiant.

A collection of British built basses?

Could it be that, non musician, collectors like instruments to display on walls. An amp wouldn't have the same 'wow' factor to them. e.g. A big black box with knobs on isn't as exciting to them as a Gilmour Strat. Years ago I picked up a Trace Elliot MP11 that had, apparently, been used by Entwistle in his tour rig. It cost £99. Don't have it any more though... :-(

Ah, like this? This looks much nicer: ATK800, not on the Ibanez website. (unless I'm looking at the wrong region)

This one? It's only the prestige model with the neck pickup I normally like Ibanez stuff, but this is just dull. For a Prestige model it looks really cheap.

Now playing: Earth - Sunn Amps and Smashed Guitars

Using samples creatively is just as hard as writing any other form of music.

Downloaded the Goat album (World Music) this morning, it's fantasic!!

The Zoom exp pedal uses a TRS cable.

Here's some details about the Moog: [url="http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/ep2/"]http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/ep2/[/url]

The bonus of the Zoom emulation is it has a mid control, so none of that nasty scooped sound of the real Sansamp.

Oh good, I'm glad it's getting some proper use.

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1345064559' post='1773194'] Personally I can't wait. Not sure I have money to buy anything but I'm fascinated by what you might have! [/quote] Definitely!

[quote name='wally8' timestamp='1345035531' post='1772653'] Noooooooooooo - the acoustic bit was cool - esp that tune "throat of winter" off the god of war soundtrack. The guitar work on that is ludecrous. If this acoustic set is similar to that double set they did for the lamentations gig which included almost if not all of damnation, it will be wet pants all round!! [/quote] Might not have been helped by the fact I saw them at the O2 Academy in Bristol, which usually has the worst sound of any venue ever.

The Zoom one is pretty good really, has about the same travel as my Dunlop Wah. The Moog had more travel but only about the first 5mm of toe down was useable, so it was pointless.

I have the Zoom exp pedal. Did have a Moog one, but it didn't work.

The Union Chapel is a fantastic venue! Saw Clint Mansell and the Sonus Quartet there a few years back. I'm a fan of Opeth too, but I didn't get into Heritage at all. And to be honest the acoustic portion of the show, on the last tour, bored the pants off me.

My band forced me into doing backing vocals a whiles back. Singing was bad and basslines suffered. But they kept on at me, in a positive way, and the basslines are as they should be and the vocals have improved a hell of a lot. I simplified the bass for when I was [s]singing [/s]shouting so I could concentrate in the vocals. Then when the vocals improved I worked on the basslines. Stick with it.

[quote name='Graham' timestamp='1344947912' post='1771468'] But Beadie Eye, for instance, had 2 Marshall Plexis, 2 Marshall bass heads and 8x10s and 2 vox AC30s; Bellamy had his own amp and The Who had their own backline - seems odd that CW would be the only one to be handed something that wasn't his choice - so perhaps he's made the shift to Ampeg live? [/quote] And Madness had Ashdown... I only know that because of their facebook post.

Not bad, I think I paid around £100 for mine back in the 80s as an end of line clearance. I've been thinking about how I used mine. With bass I used it for a chorus effect, fine detune and some feedback. Was really nice. On guitar up and octave, full feedback and you got a great Big Black sounding guitar. I'm getting tempted again...
