    Forthcoming visit to Jon Shuker's

    in Build Diaries

    Posted

    Isn't it worth just writing into the BassChat rules that:
    "If any member is to visit Jon Shuker's Workshop, he/she is obligated to take photo evidence of all builds currently undertaken by said Luthier"

    Cos lets face it, the only work Jon gets is from this board! :)

    Where the hell rock's gone?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I guess this is another good attempt at plugging my band!? :-D

    Agreed, Rock and for that case any genre means different things to different people. I think there was a thread a while ago that got people to list the Rock/Metal they were listening to at that time!
    So I might go again!

    A Perfect Circle
    Sikth
    Tool
    Coheed & Cambria
    Dillinger Escape Plan
    Exit Ten
    Meshuggah
    Slipknot

    Theres a lot more in my collection, but those seem to be whats on iPod rotation for me 'Rock/Metal' wise!
    (where the 'Folk' thread?)

    Si

    p.s.
    I agree that Nothing is Meshuggahs best work

    p.p.s.
    Have you ever read read an interview with Myung......he's sooooooooooo boring lol

    1976 Mustang Bass

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted

    My friend mentioned to me yesterday "oh I found an old bass in my dads cupboard"....."yeah? what is it"...."It says Fender Mustang on the headstock"

    So I immediately got him to bring it to me haha!
    The serial number dates it to early 1976, its in the 500,000's

    So yeah, what do we think?. The finish has been stripped, although a luthier friend of mine said that the lacquer coat over what is now the natural finish could still be original, as Fender tended to treat the natural bodies, then paint them!?
    There's one string ferrule missing from the through body stringing, and unless pearl white wasn't standard as a scratchplate style then, I'd say everything else looks original!!

    Akai Headrush E2

    in Effects

    Posted

    I've used an E2 a fair bit, never had any troubles with noise or anything.
    Its great as far as I'm concerned, you won't get super long loop times out of them, 21 seconds i think it is for one loop to play over the top, with 16 seconds if you want to loop & layer it indefinitely.

    You could spend more on other loopers like the Boss stuff or some rack stuff, but it all depends how serious you want the kit to be!

    The first track on my personal myspace (link in my sig) is the E2 at work!

    WANTED: VW Golf 1.9 Diesel TDi 5 Door

    Well its worth a go! :)

    Following on from my "Someone wrote my car off" thread........ I need a car lol

    Obviously trying all the other avenues, but thought I'd maximize my chances and prey on the board member's tendancies to move on pieces of equipment when something new and shiny appears! :-D

    Colour - Preferably Black, Dark Red, Dark Green.......something dark you know......not white

    Age unimportant but is pretty much restricted by my budget and the younger it is, the sillier my insurance gets, so looking around '98 (S reg) to '01....... ish

    Mileage should be as low as possible obviously, but not over 110,000 preferably

    My budget is around £3,500 give or take (i would prefer to save a little obviously, but whatever)

    Cheers all!

    New Jazz Bass build/parts Project

    in Build Diaries

    Posted · Edited by Sibob

    Ok so a few tiny little updates!!

    The body refinish is underway, we're going for black with a nitro finish.
    A black scratchplate will set this off nicely methinks! :)

    Badass II purchased
    Hipshot Clover Ultralights purchased
    (both courtesy of board members)

    Neck will be a flamed maple neck/fingerboard made by our very own ChopdaBass, but have to wait for the body to be finished first!

    Still waiting on finding the Pickups! And i still have to get my hands on some other misc hardware bits (see my wanted section listing). Thanks to Nico who tryed to send me some bitsa control plate gratis, typically the Royal Mail decided to lose the jiffy bag!!!! ;)

    More updates soon i hope :huh:

    First Signs Of Frost supporting NO USE FOR A NAME - Islington Academy

    in Gigs

    Posted · Edited by Sibob

    Hey guys!!

    My band First Signs Of Frost is supporting No Use For A Name, a Fat Wreck Chords signed punk band from the US. A slightly odd match up, but we're not complaining :)

    Its at Islington Academy on Sunday 6th of April.

    If anyone is attending or wants to attend, then get in contact. We have been provided with tickets to sell on at £10 as opposed to the £13/£14 through all the other usual sources. You need not admit any affiliation with us, even if you're going to see NUFAN, get your cheap tickets here :huh:

    I'll have a poster up soon!

    Lets try for an altogether better and definitly more musical application of the technique:

    I mean, I agree with the point that this technique is largely useless outside of solo playing (read: showing off :huh: )
