I imagine Les Claypool's probably worth some hideous amount because he's touched it.

Hmph. Until it sounds exactly like tommy the cat in the studio version I won't be pleased.

Haha it's brutal to ask anything to sound like a final studio product :p. Especially from a youtube video.

Lol. JC might still be selling that Rainbow bass. If I remember, his customer flaked on him halfway into the build, but he decided to throw some of his own money into it to finish up the project.

Those pictures are legitimately taken over the waterfall (as you can see from the shadows). It's just his style. Doesn't boteher me - he puts down protective padding so that he doesn't scrape it and if anything ever happens, he'll just have to re-build everything for his customer for free.

No wei.

That guy who does Tool Bass covers actually does a damn good job on Youtube.

Then again, he uses the EXACT same sh*t that Justin Chancellor does...and that's annoying.

Hehe.

Does JC have a pricey set-up?

[quote=gaslight;17571903]Hehe.

He's got some decent equipment:

Not Alembic-status or anything, but decent.

Oh I meant Justin Chancellor's bass set-up.

[quote=gaslight;17571983]Oh I meant Justin Chancellor's bass set-up.[/quote]

Oh. Haha.

He uses a couple Wal basses (probably the most expensive single pieces of gear) (Mach Is & IIs, I believe)

Mesa Boogie 4x12
Mesa Boogie 8x10
Two GK 2001RB heads
Demeter Preamp

Guyatone Tremolo
Digitech Whammy
Tech 21 Distortion
Boss Chorus
Boss Flanger
Boss Delay
Guyatone Envelope Filter
Tone Bender Fuzz
Foxx Fuzz/Wah/Volume
Boss EQ
Pro Co RAT Turbo

When I said it was "annoying," I meant that copying somebody's setup is annoying. Also, it disgusts me how much time he's probably spent listening to Tool songs and dialing in the sound perfectly.

going to the matamp factory tomorrow - wooo!

and copying someone's setup is ultimately pointless unless you know their exact settings on EVERY pedal and preamp. and you play exactly like them. altogether highly unlikely. far more interesting to forge your own sound.

which is exactly why i have been trying to cop the glassjaw tone for the last 6 months :p

Listening to bong-ra at 1 30am... good times, fun stuff.

1:30am? It was 5:21pm. You UKers are so backwards...

I'm seeing Wilco tomorrow night. It should be awesome.

i was on a forklift all shift tonight

it isnt so bad

I can't imagine sitting on that thing for more than an hour at a time. I was so bored and tired of driving a forklift after the 3 hours I had to spend when I had to the back room and had to move everything.

What are you forklifting Raayl?

[QUOTE=gaslight;17573617]What are you forklifting Raayl?[/QUOTE]

i work at a freight dock

its a massive dock with hundreds of trailer doors

i just get a manifest and unload freight from trucks and load it into another truck

i move about 100,000 lbs of freight each shift give or take

Stuff.

That's pretty cool man.

eh it kind of sucks. its not a fun job. hard hard work. but the pay is good, and i get to drive indoors. so thats alright.

Good pay is the kind of pay to get.

My job is just **** at the moment but the pay gets me through. I really need a change though.

Your job does seem to fill you with rage.

I tell you what, today I was ready to go postal.

I even had a regular tell me that every time she sees me I look like I need to go and chill the **** out.

Failed to anticipate the nerdy fun I can have practising scales on this sixer.

Yikes. The nerdiest thing I do is read about sea creatures on wikipedia. The nerdiest thing the girl I'm interested in does is listen to the Gregorian Masters of Chant.

This is awesome having new territory to practise. As much as I love four strings you can't get five and six note chord voicings on them.

Wilco is going to be dope tonight.
