Les Pauls look tiny when the guitarist (Chris Flippin) from Lagwagon plays them.

Despite smoking heavily, he had a voice like a girl, and was an amzing shredder with a taste for indian music.

Shawn Lane is guitars greatest fattie.

Shame he's dead then, no more Lane+Hellborg records :angry:

Shawn Lane was amazing.

fatbandit 01-02-2006 06:17 PM

Jamie, how can you say a band with a number one album (and subsequently top 10 for an amazingly long time) on both sides of the Atlantic isn't appreciated enough? Haha. Look at the reaction they got at Live 8 when they only got one song :p

Best small bass player ever is the guy in King Prawn. Anyone find pictures (I'm too lazy, haha)? He's so cool :cool:

Mini Kiss can be found by searching for Mini Kiss on google images.

Rusty Cooley is far superior though, although lane had his merits At least we still have Rusty!

I'd say Rusty's faster than Lane, but Lane knows how to turn speed into music imo

No, they really are big, big as (or bigger then) some of my freinds who are around 5' 11", 6' 5".

fathergoat 01-02-2006 06:39 PM

Trujullo is pretty tall, right?

Oh, and after listening to Jenny Was a Friend of Mine I was very dissappointed. It didn't sound good even for mainstream.

fatbandit 01-02-2006 07:07 PM

Trujillo is 5'8" actually.

I look pretty small when playing bass. I'm the smallest one in my band and I play the instrument with the longest scale; go figure.

It seems as though your guitarist wears smaller shirts though.

That was at a battle of the bands wasn't it?

No, I actually wear tighter shirts than them for the most part. Sometimes it's almost a tie though.

And no, this was in the basement of a house in Rochester during a party. We're going to be playing at my college's battle of the bands during February. I can't wait; seeing the judges cry because our vocalist screams is going to be wonderful.

Shame it is, Personae is an amazing work of art:(

fatbandit 01-03-2006 05:48 AM

Jamie, can you find a picture where he's not using a small bass? That picture doesn't make him look like a dwarf. Which he is.

I think I'm large, but in proportion to my bass. I don't look too out of proportion with the 7 I don't think, which is pretty big.

I make a guitar look normal...

My fretless is pretty small on its own...

My six is pretty average (for some reason, I think that 6 strings are just cool looking...)...

[QUOTE=I0Play0Bass]^ Yeah I have. I hate that bassline. I referenced it in my post, saying it was "auditory rape." :lol:

I think he tries way too hard.

All I'm saying is that I wouldn't say he "pwns" at bass. Marcus Miller is someone who "pwns" at bass. I wouldn't say the guy from The Killers is an amazing bassist. I find him boring, but that's just me. I'm not really into The Killers anyway, but he's better than most mainstream bassists (not saying much).

To each their own...
