the interview with twatface oilver just confirmed everything I've ever thought about him

was great to see Hammond looking so well...even getting a hug from Clarkson...the roadworks challenge was genius as well

new series should be good

why not try scalloping it yourself..whats the worst that could happen?

those "steel ridges" are fret markers...as in a fretless bass with a lined fretboard...

not an unheard of concept I can assure you

Yamaha RBX270F fretless electric bass....

Had it for about 1 year/18 months

fairly good condition - some minor scratches/marks

selling due to lack of use..

75-85??

thats a real loss...stuff he did with steve gadd and chick corea in the 70s was bloomin ace..

RIP

recently read Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess....after liking the film for so long..thought I should give it a try..I can't reccommend it enough..

now re-reading Hunter S Thompson's autobiography "Kingdom of Fear"...which is also brilliant...

Ruin/11th Hour/Omerta by Lamb of God

The Unforgiven by Metallica

Vivaldi's Four Seasons by Paul Gilbert

i'll keep it short and sweet...

amazing guitar there...can't deny I'm jealous...

looks absolutely shit hot...

nice to know an aberdonian has one of 6 in the UK...

well done 8-)

calling on huey all night

broke down the brown door and painted it white on the way out....

1 - Jimi Hendrix (ranks above anyone in my mind)

2 - Frank Zappa

3 - Dave Gilmour

4 - Peter Green

5 - Joe Satriani

my only response to the whole pick vs. fingers argument...

if the ox used both..then surely they're both valid??

my current top 3 that have influenced me the most overall.....

Les Claypool

Jaco

John Entwistle

looks like I'm jumping on the ashdown bandwagon as well...I've had my combo for a year or so...comparitively cheap and amazing tone.....and yes..the built in octaver is a piece of shit..but just ignore it...

No but im 90% sure i could if need be.

Cryptopsy - thats some hard bass lines.

Victor Wooten - Show of hands, Insanely hard to play.

Jean Beudan(sp?) - Some hard stuff.

p.s Any bass player who plays with a pick relegates themselfs from 'top 3 bass players'

the guys an absolute monster...tapping on a fanned fret 10 string...shame his music is pish tho....

Personally, I've always found YYZ much more do-able than Donna Lee....maybe thats just me..

For anyone who hasn't heard it, check out YYZ by Rush for a bass - tastic experience!

every now and then I'll try and perfect that song's bass part...but it generally ends up in me screaming in rage...Geddy Lee is an absolute god...shame about his voice though...

I challenge any bassist here to try Donna Lee by Jaco Pastrious...

or if jazz-funk makes you queasy....

both albums are staples of my life either way 8)

I've got one of the Project Debuts (in boring black I'm afraid), and they're ace...provided you don't mind a bit of setting up once it arrives...

I find that vinyl has a strange crackle about it' date=' inhibiting my enjoyment of the recording. Also when youre trying just to listen to your favourite song and sometimes you dont get the needle bang on the right spot that can be annoying too. Theyre also fairly cumbersome to transport. As far as albums go, who buys and listens to a whole album these days?! When its so easy to just buy the best tracks (most albums you hear have got some dodgy ones) Id rather do that and create playlists in my iPod so you can have like: The Monster Song (the automatic), I Predict a Riot (Kaisers), She moves in her own way (Kooks) etc without all the boring album fillers.[/quote']

..............oh...dear......

surely I'm not the only one who actually listens to a whole album when they first get it home?..

good stuff.....

Soon to be moving away to uni, and doubting my current amp would fit in a poky halls bedroom..

looking for something a bit smaller, a sort of practise/medium sized combo amp, it doesn't have to be gig worthy, as long as it has decent(ish) sound quality and it's in semi-decent condition...

I'd be wiling to spend about 150max I think...but I am up for haggling..

cheers..

Andrew

I'm very very up for that!!! I play bass and drums...18 years old

I'm leaving aberdeen in early september..but still would be up for a jam before then..

Lou?!?! in a massive Catholic orgy...with his back?!?! are you insane?!?!

I think Karl would be much more suitable..he is getting all the groupies after all...

plus his woman is a nude-swimming-swinger so she'd be up for it as well

win win win

has he always had those gorgeous sideburns? 8)

ohhh yes! 'mon stingray!!!

boyd is even more of a moron for marrying that trailer trash idiot...Max is right..

I mean its been clear the neighbours writers have been struggling a bit lately..but come on...Carmela as a nun?!??!

I'd pay some serious money for the return of the beer swilling-woman perving evil harold..
