oh, sorry, i meant the Ibanez SR1306 :p

[QUOTE=Eddie-the-Trooper]alright ill go for it then :p btw, its the same as the stratovarius bassist jari kainulainen uses :p an Ibanez Sr-3006E :D i need somthing i can play fast on, so the fender p bass can wait...[/QUOTE]

hehe, as long as you enjoy it! i love Ibanez guitars but ive never been big on their basses, its all a matter of what feels best for you :thumb: im working on some songs on my 8-track recorder now, if i like any enough ill post them online! or just do a Maiden cover lol.

PS: HAPPY 2 YEAR MX-BDAY Frail :)

haha, congrats frail :p

well, im gonna play alot of stratovarius, so i need somthing with slim neck so i can play that fast :p and well, i think Kainulainen have an awsome tone, so it cant be that bad...

um hmm, i do with they would crank him in a bit on the albums though. Did you download Kotipelto singing "wasted years" with The Iron Maiden Tribute band The Clairvoyants? oh it was awsome!! he does a FANTASTIC JOB!!!!!!

ofcourse, he could be louder, but i hear him just fine..

Iron Maiden is awesome

Yep that be true....on a totally random note, I put all the Iron Maiden songs that I own into MP3 format on PC.....took 2 hours and 0.99GB. And I am currently trying to listen every Maiden song in one session (which is about 15-16hours)... so I'm gonna make some coffee

^ :lol:

Good Luck.

Do you have the greatest hits and live ones though?

Im not including best of the beast or edward the great or any of the live ones, except for beast over hammersmith and BBC archives. I am including Best of B-sides tho. I'm upto Rime of the ancient mariner (I'm going in order).

sweet

[QUOTE=Eddie-the-Trooper]ah, will you please stop it? :p

argh.. where have all the old wonderful persons in this thread gone? :upset:[/QUOTE]

come of it, i've been posting in this thread since page 40 :p

also, going back to basses, p-basses are nice but i prefer the jazz shape... one of those jazz deluxes with p-bass pick ups configuration at the neck and a jazz pickup at the bridge, that'd suite me...

*kicks westfield p-bass copy*

The only Maiden song I've heard all the way through is Caught Somewhere in Time. It's awesome, i love the keyboards. Reccomendations?

You'd probably like the whole album Somewhere in Time then, and Go for Seventh son of a Seventh Son to.

Cool, I'll check it out.

Hey whats everyone favorite Iron Maiden cover from other bands? I know alot of people might say the Iced Earth or Cradle of Filth cover of Hallowed Be Thy Name. Personally, I love Opeth's cover of Remember Tomorrow.

i own both a P and a Jazz bass (both fender) and i will stand by this...Jazz basses have a more rich tone and sound overall stronger, but P-basses play twice as easy and you can gain more speed on them.

thats my personal favoruite Maiden album, but my second place one is easily Brave New World.

how? that got to be straight forward playing.. cause they arent created to be technical on :p (the neck is to fat..)

if it ahs a fat nek you cnat play tecnicle. i cant do much on the higer frets because of mys mal fingers and the neck widening so if sumthign has a wide neck you cant be technicle on it because you need to get your fingers properly over it all so it myust be standard playong. but if somthign has a fat neck its hard to reach even for standard playign on the e string

Hallowed is my favourite song ever
but I like the cradle version too...
cradle of filth are brilliant I cant understand why alot of people on the forums dislike them

because cradle is crap.. :p

No-one can cover maiden it just wrong...

Cradle aren't that bad...but they shouldnt have covered hallowed by thy name its just not thir style

[QUOTE=Lateralias]Personally, I love Opeth's cover of Remember Tomorrow.[/QUOTE]

Hell yeh, that's a great cover. :thumb:

Nobody knows how to cover Iron Maiden correctly because they're not used to letting their bassist be so far up in the mix. Except that little Dream Theater cover; they've got a good enough bassist to actually pull off The Trooper, as well as pretty much every other Maiden song.

well, he aint to loud him either :p
