I know I've droned this out before but one of my ultimate pet peeves was when I did shows and people would go "play some seinfeld"

Hey now, this is a guitar thread, no talking about DX7's and cheezy 80's romplers here.

Again, in the "never ever ever going to happen" category

I hate my guitar porn when it plays too quick.

But...

In an unexpected development, I also came home with one of these (but not a lefty) - I freaking love it: This is my first ever bass.

(I can't get images to work so sorry it's a link)

There you go, I flipped it horizontal so it looks regular except the headstock logo which is backwards now (I use some free thing called 'Irfanview' as i am not a photoshop wiz/meddler by miles mate)

Very nice DF2R = Drum N Bass

Now this is what I was talking about by "guitar porn." Beautiful! I haven't even touched or heard that bass and I want it.

I have a few bass guitars but they don't give me much of a thrill as geetars do, Although any bass amp and bass pedals give me a boner if i like as they get used for both geetar and bass. The cheapest and dare i say best playing one i have at the moment is the black one of these yammy's:

Sorry it will disappoint on the pr0n front

and that was in matrix-style 'bullet time'. Imagine the visuals in real-time

MAB whilst yeah has a superb sweep leaves alot to be desired in many other areas. Like the sort of guy whom never gets the gig for not being able to just go with the groove *I bet*

*Don't know the guy, could be so very wrong but every video/audio clip/record i have heard is him either blazing away or playing OTT crap blues-style stuff which is even worse than the blazing, Complete with shit backing track of course

Here is a case in point:

Eric, If you do not mind me asking - Are you at NAMM or did you go this year man? If so mate, Anything catch them beady eyes of yours?

All the best to all as always

Summer NAMM is no fun. Glad I didn't have to be there this year (which means my boss is gonna be cranky that he had to be there by himself). From what I've gathered it's more about manufacturers, distributors, retailers networking and less about showing off new products.

Nothing from Premier Guitar's coverage seemed more interesting than the Kemper Profiling Amp, which is the thing I'm most excited about.

Cheers Justin and Eric for the information

Appreciate it and well yeah i have been looking out for Premier Guitars and SOS youtube videos but nothing has caught my attention really. That is good at the moment anyway

I was checking out these other basses that were a bit cheaper, and the guy asked, "do you like how this looks? Cos I have a lot of room to move with the price on this one." I was like, "sure, it's beautiful."

But it was when I played it I knew it was the one. It felt perfect, and I was running it through an Ampeg they had there, and I played some notes, and went, "so about that price?".

I have worn my fingers off playing this thing, they hurt like hell. But just can't stop!

I prefer flatwounds. Both my acoustic and electric are strung with flatwounds.

They have a different tone. It depends what you play I guess. They are more mellow than standard strings.

There is something about the sound of flatwound strings on bass, I just love that dark, mellow tone. Particularly on a fretless bass, but I can't play those too good.

Here is a track that I'm working on with Hink, that features my ibanez with flatwounds... just bass and drums to illustrate the sound.

I recorded the bass with a SansAmp Bass driver DI (old standard) into my Profire 2626. When the fuzz kicks in, I'm using Audio Damage's FuzzPlus2 in parallel with the clean signal.

Like it, Looking forward to hearing the results when finished, I have a few new tracks to post. They are pretty fast, no soloing, sound like i intended them to sound and won't be everyone's cup of tea. It is sort of a test of mic'd regular setup, regular setup but using IR instead of mic'd up cab(s), Solid-State high-gain path into IR and one setup where i used ITB only. Im nearly finished and will post them when they are done. Its not a strict test though as no way am i gonna do aload of re-amping with a few guitar tracks when i had other tracks to do at the same time so it won't be of 'what sounds better' but more of 'what did i prefer/do prefer' plus share with anyone who wants a listen

Steve Harris is one of my heroes and is a flatwound man on that P-Bass, Unmistakable sound everytime. A total bass monster/riffologist/song writer IMHHO

Your next guitar?
