Yup, In Rock for me, but only because a lot of the early Led Zep was very blues infused.

I never quite got Rainbow. For me it would be Deep Purple In Rock, or possible the first Sabbath album.

[quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1386842536' post='2305144'] Personally I prefer having separate smartphone and mp3 player. My 30 GB mp3 is full now, so I have been looking at the ipod classics. They're really expensive when you compare them to just putting a huge memory card in a phone though :-( [/quote] I also have an iPod Nano mk3 for the gym.

As an antidote to iPods, last year I took a deep breath and dived into the smartphone world. I went for an HTC One+ or some such name. Anyway the upside is 64GB solid state memory most of which is free to use. Better than most of them at the time, but that was a whole year ago so I'm guessing things have moved on...

Perspective (to answer the OP's question)

I want magic hamsters

My 4-string ACG basses are all asymmetric and I'm a convert. Was a little unsure at first but now definitely in the fold. Don't find a problem swapping around, just feels slightly less comfortable on the C and D type profiles.

Nice Legs, Shame About The Face - The Monks (iirc)

Heads up for all prog and in particular Genesis fans on here. Our very own (I'll fill in his site name when I can remember it) plays bass for them and I had an absolutely splendid 3 hours of nostalgia last night at their gig in Bacup. Nursery Crime right through to nearly the end of their recording career (Genesis that is). If it's your kind of thing check them out, best Genesis tribute I've heard and I've been to a few.

Not on your list, but this will be a pretty special bass...just not sure what the price will be.

Pics maybe a help here? Possibly a Legend 4 Classic?

We started out around 50/50. Band policy is to play as much original material as we can, but bearing in mind our audience occasionally want to hear something they know. Our next gig will be pretty much all original material, maybe one cover.

Hi Ed I had a Kiogon made stack pot plate for an old Antoria J bass I refurbed. I didn't notice any interaction between the tone pots, but I couldn't say whether fully opened it sounded the same as a single tone pot as it was knackered on the original bass. Can't see why it would make a massive difference. For the record I had different cap values for the bridge and neck pickup circuits. Liked it a lot as a passive set up.

My fav Floyd bass line is definitely Time (as on DSOTM).

Did anybody get to any of the UK dates last month? I sadly couldn't make it to the local ones.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1385071594' post='2284257'] That's a great idea, actually. Stand by for about a thousand different opinions on what makes a good colour scheme! [/quote] 3TSB and white or is it 3TSB and black?

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1384952439' post='2282670'] You'll be asking for straw boaters next! [/quote] Good thinking (although they were called Barges where I was dragged up)

What about a stylish waistcoat for jazzers and folks with a slight higher BMI than strictly necessary (ahem)?

[quote name='leschirons' timestamp='1384902844' post='2282268'] Ah, if it had been a five string, I'd have had it. [/quote]

Hats good.

The ACG 4-string Graft basses have a 3 over 1 tuner configuration: [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/graft-series-2/finished-graft-basses/"]http://www.acguitars...d-graft-basses/[/url] just click on the images for more pics of each beastie. As to any advantages over 2+2 or 4 in-line I'm not so sure. The ACG headstock is nice and compact so helps with the balance - infact it's very similar in size to the ACG 2+2. It does look a bit different too so I guess that might be a good or bad thing depending on which band you are in / auditioning for
