    Paul Gray form Slipknot found dead

    I'm not a huge fan of Slipknot, but respect to the man anyway. It's a bad time for metal.

    Dora The Explorer?

    My eyebrows just shot through the roof.

    What are you looking forward to?

    I'm getting out of my sixth form and starting at music college in September along with a few like-minded friends :hyper:

    In the studio

    Audacity is a brilliant piece of software, you should try it. Free doesn't equal bad.

    "Oil can" basses??

    Well that's...interesting. I'll have to keep an eye on this :)

    How to land a teenage job?

    You probably haven't been around my neck of the woods :hiding: Have you done any volunteer work? If not, you should consider it. It's unpaid and can sometimes be boring depending on where you go, but if you get it under your belt and work hard at it, your job hunt will be a hell of a lot...

    Does anyone else find it difficult to play bass with a pick?

    I do. Ever since I first played a bass, I have always used my fingers. When I use a pick, I can only play at around half the speed that I can using only my fingers, and I always find myself fumbling and sometimes missing the string completely. Just wondering if anyone else is like me :bassist:

    Don't knock cheap basses until you try them.

    There are a lot of reasons, really. Lack of funds, enjoying the unique sound and "personality" of a cheaper bass, not having to wear kid gloves while handling the instrument, for example. For me, it's a combination of all three. I'm a poor student, an expensive bass is the last thing on my list...

    Dio

    A legend died today, and he will be loved and remembered for as long as rock and metal continues to exist, and beyond that.

    Don't knock cheap basses until you try them.

    They do, but some people seem to forget this fact when they get their hands on a Sadowsky or a Stingray. I know that my trusty old Ibby couldn't hold a candle to a Sadowsky in most areas, but I love it for what it is. (I'm starting to talk about it like it's my child :D)

    Don't knock cheap basses until you try them.

    That's perfectly fine, all I ask is that you judge with your ears before getting your wallet out :)

    Don't knock cheap basses until you try them.

    I really don't understand why people do this. I saw someone mention in another thread that people judge gear with their eyes and not their ears, and they are totally right. For example, SX. The price means that you can afford to swing them around and batter them a bit without worrying that you...

    what are you reading?

    Because of this book, I now have an arsenal of battle-ready weapons and several escape and contingency plans for when the zombies attack :hiding:

    A gift for your vicious & cheating ex, perhaps?

    Where's that debit card of mine?!? Seriously though, I wonder how hard it is to breed these things without infecting someone with them. They would make fairly unusual pets :)
