I think that proves you can play! :)

The only thing sexier than a bass… is a thunderbird bass!

Damn I love these http://www.gibson.com/products/gibson/bass/ThunderbirdIV.html

if its good enough for Nikki Sixx, its good enough for me!

I’m with these guys - I am a compitent bassist + guitarist but play from memory not ear - I cant listen to something and play it back but i can watch or read something and play it. So fucking what - still managed to play in bands for 3 years and gig on a regular basis.

Chill out - people have to start somewhere.

Clean on the amp

Distortion through effects pedal

Try open C for a laugh - Strapping Young Lad use it - really interesting to play

CGCGCE

This has nothing to do with any therapy? songs though

Ibanez are by far my favorite - I have an Iceman and a GRX 720 - 7 string… I also have a Jackson Concept which is fuckin ace to play.

Yeah - you might get the chance to host blankety blank or something!

Aww - thats bad!

I wonder what happens to stray plectrums… i mean - socks go missing in washing machines, but they aren’t lost - we all know they are stuck to the drum with static…

but plectrums… I must have bought hundreds and they just bloody vanish! strange?

its not one of those ‘sharkfin’ style ones is it? I saw that and thought Wow - got to have one - till i tried to use it and found that they were, infact, useless!

I dont know what the fuck that had to do with anything - but i thought i would mention it anyway :)

Its not the kind of things those guitar shop types sit round chatting about… but it is surprising how peoples tastes vary.

There is a guitar shop nearby that ‘invented’ the round plectrum - a plastic circle with a hole in that looks like a washer… it is supposed to improve your grip but cant ever remember this being an issue for myself.

used to use one of those for bass - but they do about as much good to the strings as Ron Atkinson does to race relations…

Use green Dunlop Tortex .88 for guitar and blue Dunlop Tortex 1.0 for bass (or fingers - depends what i’m playing and how lazy i feel)

My current favourets are my Ibanez Soundgear and my Epiphone Thunderbird… I wouldnt consider myself a good player though - used to hold my own in a band but i never pushed any boundaries or anything…

I’ve never really been able to get my head round slapping, when i try it - it just sounds shit…

Jazz Ad - I’m still in awe at your effects!

I tend to use a lot of effects, probably too many :rolleyes:.

Looks like the dashboard of some sort of plane!
