The SRs are often used by metal-ish players but they aren't aimed directly at them it is also a very smooth bass too used by loads of funk and jazz players!

[quote name='Truckstop' post='1314024' date='Jul 23 2011, 06:07 PM']I would like to see real DB tone from an electric bass. In my brain, I'm imaging a DB neck attached to a P bass sort of thing, with a DB bridge and tailpiece. So really, a DB that can be worn over your shoulder, but is essentially the same size as an electric. Also, double neck basses, but instead of the traditional parallel necks model, I'm thinking one neck underneath the other. So, from the front it looks like a standard bass, but it's got one neck mounted behind the other. This way, you can have a double necked guitar without needing giant cases and without looking like a tool! (copyrighted) Truckstop[/quote] Kind of like [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnIVkouFYhM&feature=channel_video_title"]this?[/url] I think ERBs being more common with new designs (not just a normal bass with 10 strings!) like i have a few ideas though i'm keeping them to myself Maybe new neck shapes, bass seem to get C and D and it ends there! I'd like a Boat/V shaped neck on bass, Though i think things are alright as they are, plus people who have these bright ideas go start companies and we buy there stuff so no stopping people making their fortune Fully adjustable nuts and bridges etc i think would like to be standard in 10 years though i don't really see it happening as it's not really neccesary and i guess falls in the nice gadget to have column Edit: A new system for necks allowing necks to be changed easily or pickups to be just screwed down (ie no wiring and stuff) though thats all be looked at just never perfected

[quote name='neilb' post='1313767' date='Jul 23 2011, 01:12 PM']They are great friendly chaps too. Me with Bruce and Nicko few years ago. [/quote] Rather jealous!

Yep i do! And Billy Sheehan dn Steve Harris both do too!

Sorry to drag this up or anything but 1) Just re-listened to all of Sailing The Seas Of Cheese xD And found out that Chris Wohlstenholm (The bass player from Muse) was there and is a big primus fan, anyone see him? haha

I love my mother :') She organised the Iron Maiden tickets as she knew i was devestated (as i found out i'd be away, but then plans changed so i was here!) AND for my Birthday (well 2 days after) I'm Seeing Mr.Big on the 15th of September! If i'd made it to Dream Theater in Wolverhampton tonight/tomorrow That would make my 3 favourite bands in one year!

Going for a minor snoop soon as i suspect they are still in Aberdeen, and i know they are golf fans, and this place is known for it's courses!

[quote name='woodyratm' post='1312468' date='Jul 22 2011, 10:41 AM']I was slightly further back for them - sound was decent there. Just thought they were a naff band. Bit too much like ACDC for my liking (whom I'm also not a fan of) Maiden were pretty awesome, the older stuff was much better than the newer stuff i thought. Was in stitches at Bruce getting distacted mid song by the girl flashing ("Did you just flash your T!ts? You did didnt you? They were very nice") The amount of faded band tshirts and denim was shocking! Oh and white dunlop trainers..[/quote] Yeah i moved back to get a better sound, I know xD What song was that in? It was a bit of a blur songs ending as it was all so awesome! Haha there was some shirt snobbery, "My shirt is from 78 yours is only from 85" haha

[quote name='Evil Undead' post='1312255' date='Jul 22 2011, 12:54 AM']Glad you enjoyed it I'm still jealous![/quote] Hopefully you will be able to get a cheap ticket nearer the show [quote name='bobbytodd' post='1312290' date='Jul 22 2011, 06:26 AM']one more sleep till we go to see them really looking forward to it.what were airbourn like live?[/quote] VERY VERY LOUD. It was just mush, but that may have been the venue as it's like that alot (Maiden were fine though!) Decent hard rocking Aussie style rock! All the songs sounded the same minus one which i really liked actually! [quote name='bartelby' post='1312291' date='Jul 22 2011, 06:30 AM']Is he still using a white one then? Maybe next year's Steve Harris sig will be white, with no crappy football graphics...[/quote] Yep! Used it the whole set, only member of the band not to change guitar/mic haha!

[quote name='MarkNS4' post='1312093' date='Jul 21 2011, 09:48 PM']im actually doing the opposite in my bass, im conveting it from active to passive as i plugged a jazz bass into my bass rig and it was the best sound ive heard in my life[/quote] If the pickups are passive but it still has an Active pre-amp it will over all sound pretty "active" anyway, [quote name='Ou7shined' post='1312111' date='Jul 21 2011, 10:09 PM']Dude stop mucking about with that Shuker. (unless you check with Jon first)[/quote] I was thinking the same

It was everything i'd dreamed of and more SO HAPPY! I was going to make my old white squire P bass into a rockin' bass but now it's defo being an Iron Maiden tribute bass!!

[quote name='farmer61' post='1311156' date='Jul 21 2011, 09:04 AM']I really hope they live up to your expectations [/quote] They could get on stage and tell us all to faaaaaaaaaaaack off and i think i'd be pleased enough with that And only heard great things about the Glasgow show!

[quote name='woodyratm' post='1311138' date='Jul 21 2011, 08:39 AM']I'll probs get excited for the gig just before it. Got to work (with concussion too >.<) before hand! Incidently if you see someone with Purple-ish hair and a white rage tshirt come say hi [/quote] Haha will do Dave! Where do you work? (just out of interest! haha) I'm going Maiden spotting today in like an hour as i've dreamt of even just getting a photo of them for like 4/5 years and i don't think i'll take a camera tonight so i can get up to the front! (Need to see Steve Harris up on the moniter!)

[quote name='dc2009' post='1311031' date='Jul 21 2011, 12:12 AM']Ditto, and I have to wait until 6th august[/quote] Only 11 hours now! So excited i barely slept so planning a nap before the show!

Stupidly excited now

[quote name='dc2009' post='1310696' date='Jul 20 2011, 07:10 PM']I hope you get to see them too. I genuinely wonder if they soundcheck their own instruments nowadays![/quote] Well on the Flight 666 dvd they do so i'm hoping for the best, I wish i knew someone who worked at the venue then i could get an idea if they would be there and if so when... I know i sound worryingly obssessed but i haven't been this excited since seeing Mr Big! (My 3rd Favourite band just behind Iron Maiden)

[quote name='thumbo' post='1308909' date='Jul 19 2011, 10:57 AM']Exactly! Deep Impacts have a unique sound, but the hype has just got ridiculous now. The reason I've been watching them is because I've been thinking of selling mine. The convenience of having a synth pedal on the floor has become far outweighed by how much better my Micro Korg sounds.[/quote] I'll give you a tenner for it

[quote name='dc2009' post='1310211' date='Jul 20 2011, 12:28 PM']If I had to guess, they'll stay in London (or at their respective homes) and be flown/heli'd in.[/quote] I hope they stay in Aberdeen! They are playing glasgow tonight, will finish late, and i'm guessing they'd sound check in aberdeen a good few hours before the show, Going to hang about a while before the show to see if i at least get a glimps!

[quote name='malcolm.mcintyre' post='1310216' date='Jul 20 2011, 12:36 PM']Can't resist the name drop. I've met them all quite a few times over the years, stayed in the same hotels and have even stood side of stage at Hammersmith during a gig. Nice guys.[/quote] [quote name='farmer61' post='1310221' date='Jul 20 2011, 12:39 PM']Ahem claim to fame alert.......... I gave Steve Harris a lift from Aston Villa's training ground to the NEC in 2000 ish! I even referred the Maiden XI v Aston Villa Stewards match earlier in the afternoon......! Got back stage and met Bruce & Nico......! Sorry every chance I have I have to tell my one and only claim to fame(ish)[/quote] Hopefully after tomorrow i will be able to say i've met them too! I stayed in the same hotel as Anathema after their verona gig with Dream Theater (which i sadly missed!) and hung out for a bit and had breakfast with them and they kept asking me about my orchestra stuff i was quite chuffed, but their no Maiden!

If anyone catched word of where they are staying give us a shout! (I know, i know! I sound mad, but it will be a dream to meet them IN ABERDEEN!) Anyone know if they'll be around by know? (I'm like a kid on christmas )

I'm on (yes this will sound sad!) FULL MAIDEN ALERT! As i neeed to meet them, i met Anathema in a hotel in Italy a few weeks ago and meeting Maiden would fufill a fantasy! And thats 2 of my biggest inspirations in one summer! If you guys see anything (you aberdeen folks!) Contact me asap!
