  1. Wasn't a fan of the 2 songs I'd heard but from that video she clearly has a great voice. It'll be interesting to see if she lasts or indeed writes any of her own stuff.

    I'm not qualified to comment on her looks.

  2. Warwicks business practice (if what people on here are saying is correct) is very odd. Thankfully, there seems to be a glut of cheap 2nd hand basses on here. I'm tempted to get a loan and stock up on a few for a few years time when you can't get hold of them and people remember what great basses they are!

    I currently play a Streamer Pro-M, paid £400 for it and couldn't be happier. Plays really nice and I've had nothing but complements from recording engineers on the sound.

    FWIW, i used to gig a alu cone behringer 4x10 with an old Crate head and had no troubles. Sound quality not great but it worked and was loud enough.

    You were lucky, mine and every other person I spoke to had the cones come away from the surrounds very quickly. Maybe you got a later model when they fixed the problem?

    Maybe chuck in [b]D'Arcy Wretzky [/b]and[b] Melissa Auf Der Maur[/b] from Smashing Pumpkins - don't often see them mentioned on here, and have laid down some solid rock basslines during their tenancy in arguably one of the biggest Alt/Rock outfits of the last twenty years - it's always the sodding guitards/frontmen/drummers who hog all the limelight :)

    I'm sure I read somewhere that Billy Corgan recorded the basslines on the albums as he's a massive control freak.

    I'm really surprised at that. Brad and Satchel were Shawn's springboard, so to speak, so I thought they'd still be readily available. Try Amazon, and look out for "Shame", "Interiors" and "Welcome to Discovery Park" (all Brad), and "The Family" by Satchel, which features Mike Berg on bass. I had a copy of EDC by Satchel, but struggled with it. I thought it was a bit too "trippy". You might be able to hear them on Spotify too. Conversely, I can't seem to get hold of Shawn Smith's solo stuff... :)
    Massive fan too, even the Pigeonhed album "The Full Sentence" is worth a look. "Battle Flag is fantastic. :)

    I got and fell in love with 'Interiors' for a while but never got any Brad stuff beyond that. Might be time to round out the collection.

  6. Awesome. I'll have a review of my rig soon and definately consider picking one up. Looks like I'm getting the VT1 for sale on here so it will be good to have an all DHA rig :)

  7. +1 for Mike Watt and Carol Kaye.

    My grunge background demands I mention Ben Shepherd (Soundgarden), Robert Deleo (Stone Temple Pilots) and John Curley (Afghan Whigs). None of them do anything particularly flashy but they're all amazing solid players who know when to go off on their own and when to rein it in.
