Over the last couple of days I've been digitising old vinyl. Here's a sample of the sort of thing... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgsdquC8YUM[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8TKY7TI8AI[/media]

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1317324244' post='1389562'] My post-punk listening on the underground home tonight: The Pop Group and Cabaret Voltaire. Not one for Bilbo .... or probably anyone else on BC (maybe Steve Soar!) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-IixtxKETU[/media] [/quote] I haven't heard that in a while... nice choice!

The Tele bass looks nice... wonder if Dimazio Model Ones would drop in easily?

Another couple: Klaus Flouride. I love his DK stuff. Joe Lally - both is Fugazi and Solo work is fantastic.

That's a lovely looking bass! Looking forward to seeing the final product!

Andrew Weiss gets a mention now and again. Two that come to mind straight away that only get mentioned in passing: Rob Wight - NoMeansNo Mike Watt - Minutemen, fIREHOSE, The (new) Stooges

Looking good so far!

Can I nominate a bass my dad sold in 1971 for £60? His '62 Fender P in some kind of pink colouring (Fiesta Red is too dark, Shell pink is too light). If he still had it, it would be in mint condition, with it's original case and all the paper work.

This is one of my favourite bass tones ever: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1ejhxuZiC8[/media] and so is this: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMOAXm94VWo[/media] (shame it's horribly low bitrate versions of either)

[quote name='hairyhaw' timestamp='1316375858' post='1377226'] Should also add I also always associate StingRays with Ned's Atomic Dustbin - the low parts tackled by a Ray, the high parts by a Rick. The ultimate bass players band in a way. [/quote] Or a bit earlier and it's a Stingray (Matt) and a Gibson Grabber (Alex)

Always hated the term 'grunge'. I think the media and the fashion industry latching itself the music scene and, inapropriately, jamming that hideous lable on to everything in an attempt to reach a new market. The Pearl Jam film refreshed my memory to the $900 "grunge" designer outfits. That's the kind of thing that destroyed it.

If it had had a built in tuner I wouldn't have bought it.

Oh god. a reputation system? Never seen one be worthwhile before.

Here's one of the vocalist in my old band (he's the one that's dressed... for a change)

They've got quite a few Behringer pedals cheap: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=+behringer&_sacat=619&_ssn=studiosparesltd&_odkw=&_osacat=619&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=+beh...6.c0.m270.l1313[/url]

[quote name='phil.i.stein' post='1375619' date='Sep 16 2011, 03:16 PM'] Brew Dog are where it's at ! ok, soundclips will be as early as i can do, when i get around to my mate who has proper facilities for it. my zoom h2 is great for remembering stuff, but not good enough to post ! patience my friend.., ..buy one anyway. they're grrrreat (in the words of tony-the-tiger).[/quote] I'd need to sell, non musical, stuff first... Should pull my finger out and actually advertise it all really...

I'm seriously tempted to get one of these, not sure how much use it'd be in a punk band though. [quote name='phil.i.stein' post='1375553' date='Sep 16 2011, 02:08 PM']i've managed to synch it up with a drum machine via midi, to control the lfo speed and put a fuzz or two in front. soundclips in a coupla weeks, when i get a few more presets sorted.[/quote] Nah, post what you've got now. I can't wait a few weeks! Nice avatars you've had recently. I love a bottle of Brew Dog now and again...

Yes, it's safe (as long as you're safe wiring a plug) and yes it would work.

Find some OM. May not be quite what you're after but it's just bass, drums and vocals. I'm in work, so can't post youtube links...
