Now: and my favourite NoMeansNo song

[quote name='Jerry_B' post='1018247' date='Nov 9 2010, 11:11 PM'] [/quote] I LOVE NoMeansNo!! I have been listening to:

I really like those basses when they came out, especially the blue with maple!

Ok, here's a bit of audio, the playing is rubbish as I'd just got home from work and I'm shattered. [url="http://soundcloud.com/warm_leatherette/modded-cry-baby-test"]Audio link[/url] Let me know if the link doesn't work as I'm linking to soundcloud and I never used it before... 0:00 - 0:13 Uneffected bass 0:15 - 0:24 Cry-Baby set to normal 0:25 - 0:41 Cry-Baby set to "bass" 0:41 - 1:40 Cry-Baby set to "bass" & distortion on 1:41 - 2:11 Cry-Baby set to normal & distortion on 2:11 - End Cry-Baby set to "bass" & distortion on (ending with playing mainly with heel down) The mod is a little extreme set as it is, I could change the positioning of the main control pot to change the freq. centre (if you know what I mean)

I should have chance this evening to record and upload something...

A vampyre with the Corvette $$ pickups would be almost my perfect bass,[/quote] The Vampyre (specifically the Dark Lord) is the only one I'd buy if I had the money.* * I do have a Corvette Proline, but it was dirt cheap.

I'll upload some sound samples later, if I get chance.

That's why I have [url="http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/index.asp"]http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/index.asp[/url] bookmarked, rather than their homepage

The band I joined used to play a cover of Racey's Some Girls, When I say cover I mean they've taken the lyrics from that and mashed a few Ramones tracks together to form some kind of bastard child. I refuse to play it, mainly because I have some metal block and can never remember how it goes. On the subject of christmas tunes, we have a song called Christmas Sucks.

Boris: and one with a sequence from the film The Fountain

A little bit of Nick Harper: and the best one:

Some Tuvan Throat singing:

I've seen Melt Banana a couple of times. But only managed a brief glimpse of them at last month's Supersonic Festival...

Now some OM:

some Clutch

[quote name='phil.i.stein' post='1011330' date='Nov 3 2010, 08:49 PM']andy weiss is one awesome bassist, the solo starting around 3:20 always blows me away..[/quote] Shame Mr Rollins thought Weiss was an egomaniac!

Well, that's solved my GAS problems for a while. I was planning on getting that bass after Christmas... Fine choice though, well done!

[quote name='lojo' post='1011601' date='Nov 4 2010, 07:17 AM']For me, since a young age I was attracted to the electric bass sound on the radio and on records, by mid teens I knew I wanted to play bass[/quote] That and this: [quote name='johnny_frog' post='1011606' date='Nov 4 2010, 07:31 AM']2 words... steve harris iron maiden was about the first band I really took to when I was a kid[/quote] Plus my dad played bass in the 60s and always talked about it.

[quote name='bobbass4k' post='1011564' date='Nov 4 2010, 02:04 AM']Best use of Bass Chords i can think of ATM:[/quote] In a similarly simple but effective way:

In my old band I played chords all the time, in my new band I'll chuck the odd one or two in.

Here's video of my band practicing a couple of weeks back:

Or, if they're using a Mac: Select the "Auto flip new images" option...
