I love Mick Harvey's covers of Gainsbourg songs:

Got the iPod on shuffle, so far I've had: Tom Waits - The Last Rose Of Summer Stranglers - Goodbye Toulouse Fugazi - Two Beats Off NIN - Burn Fugazi - And The Same Motorhead - The Train Kept A-Rollin' Nick Cave & TBS - Foi Na Cruz Clutch - Oregon Tom Waits - Chocolate Jesus Einsturzende Neubauten - Die Explosion Im Festspielhaus

It would appear it's all good for me now. Cheers [b]Hamster[/b]!

I use both. Flats on my P and fretless basses and rounds on the actives

Yesterday I couldn't log in at all on my iphone. Still have to log in each time with Safari (I can't even remember why I'm not using Firefox on my iMac). EDIT: Even had to re-log in to post this...

The Peavey Sarzo looks a tad sun bleached!

[quote name='lettsguitars' post='1138692' date='Feb 23 2011, 03:24 PM'] slayer for harmonium anyone?[/quote] I had a dream the other day that I'd formed a Steam-Punk band. The band were dressed in the peak of Victorian fashion and played punk and metal covers on old instruments, including a Harmonium. The next day one of my mates, who was in the band in the dream, said he was thinking of buying a harmonium! I had an awseome looking bass though, Carl Thompson-ish style with all darks woods and brass.

[quote name='Dubs' post='1137254' date='Feb 22 2011, 04:09 PM']That is essentially it - just a custom gauge combination.[/quote] or not, in the case of Steve Harris Rotos. To be fair they did last a lot longer than the standard Roto flats of the same gauge...

Does it work? I've not heard any examples of soloed components of music that are longer than 0.25 seconds...

I've done gigs where we've been paid and I've done gigs where we haven't. Either way I had just as much fun...

The J-retro sounds really nice. I wonder if someone with a P-Retro could do the same sort of thing. I'm interested in getting one, but would like to hear the difference...

As the others have said, not just Windows based stuff I can leave Basschat open in Safari, make a cup of tea and when I come back I have to log in again...

Considering the unit was off to one side of the room, closest to the guitar amp the sound was pretty balanced. Next time I think we'll just use that but set it up in the middle of the room.

Back up, perhaps?

Is anyone else having trouble with having to log in all the time? Even though I have "remember me" ticked I have to log in each time I visit the site. Even if I'm only out of the site for a couple of minutes... EDIT: I've just seen this thread: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=124045&view=getnewpost"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...view=getnewpost[/url]

[quote name='Jam' post='1133002' date='Feb 19 2011, 01:35 AM']Agreed! [/quote] Holy crap, Mike Bordin looks old!!

[quote name='Jerry_B' post='1132852' date='Feb 18 2011, 10:07 PM']Klaus Flouride has always used a Jazz (and a quite nice blue metallic one at that)...[/quote]

Mike has to be one of the greatest vocalists ever!

Even without instruments they're brilliant!! carrying on the theme:

Oh man, I'd forgotten how much Guy can't dance! NOMEANSNO!!

Reading through this thread I was thinking JJ, bloody JJ all the sodding time (don't get me wrong I like The Stranglers) Then POW! NoMeansNo!!! I LOVE NoMeansNo I'm pretty sure Rob plays through Marshall guitar amps, or at least the early stuff is.
