Quite a few things off the Californication album - Easily, Around The World and Emit Remmus. And from Mother's Milk - Good Time Boys, Nobody Weird Like Me, Stone Cold Bush and Johnny Kick A Hole In The Sky. Easily (groan) RHCP's 2 best album's - yes, both better than BSSM.

There is another one, which I own, the Behringer DC9: [url="http://www.absolutemusic.co.uk/shop/view_product.php?product=behdc9"]http://www.absolutemusic.co.uk/shop/view_p...?product=behdc9[/url] Best Behringer compressor of them all IMHO. The only one made out of metal too.

I don't feel sorry for the person who has to carry it!

I used to use Super Slinkys exclusively but have now started using D'Addario. I use D'Addario EXL170 nickel round wound's (45/65/80/100) - good price and sound great. They last quite a while too.

I own an Ibanez T-shirt which I wear with pride.

Do not buy Electroplankton - it is good for about 10 mins. then it gets very boring. I traded my copy in after 1 week.

I'd buy a Peavey Tour 450 or 700 for the head. For the cab I'd get a Hartke 410XL or Warwick WCA 410 Pro.

Don't know if that's worth £300 more.

Explain how the Mexican version is different from the American version then.

[quote name='BigBeefChief' post='241887' date='Jul 17 2008, 04:44 PM']Or maybe its because they're slightly different instruments?[/quote] They're not different though...they're exactly the same. Except one's made in America and the other Mexico. A given price point is not necessarily a guarantee of quality, y'know.

I used to own a Shne SB-56: Sold it as I could not get on with 6 strings - still a good bass though. I also used to have a Shine WSB704 before my sister bought it off me - better than OLP's IMO.

Another thing that gets my goat about Fender owners is that they always have to put MI"X" in their sigs has if others are just judging them on the type of Fender they own - MIA must mean it's better sounding than MIM; not necessarily. I have no intention of buyng or owning a Fender and never will.
