Probably a good idea in this case - just a little late.

I want to hear Dylan cover a Scorpions tune.
Maybe (Rock You Like A) "Hurricane"

« on: March 25, 2009, 05:19:36 PM »No, it's just that a certainKrautperson around here is always looking for excuses to steer the conversation toward DP or Priest.Even in a Dylan remake thread.
I'm not naming any names.
I'd count my blessings, Dave. At least he doesn't go off on rants about Accept and Scorpions.

Dylan covers?
Everything else pales in comparison to this:

and the 1976 version (audio only):

« on: March 24, 2009, 12:28:28 PM »Do not misconstrue this posting as an invitation to discuss here whether Hurricane Carter was guilty or not. Nobody here knows. Dylan believed he was innocent and wrote a great anthemic song about it, that's the sole point me thinks.
A friend of mine went to see Dylan live back around '87 - there was a guy in the audience who kept yelling for him to play "Hurricane". After numerous "requests" from this guy, Mr Zimmerman said, (in true Dylan style):
"I ain't playin' no Hurricane - he was guil-tee!"

The Bass Zone / Re: Fav Riffs To Play
« on: March 21, 2009, 07:48:01 AM »
When it comes to the Peter Gunn theme I always liked the "Crime Medley" version by The Tubes on What Do You Want From Live".
My personal fave riffs (as opposed to complete songs or actual bass lines):
The Barney Miller theme
"Gutter Cat vs The Jets" - Alice Cooper
"Maybe I'm A Leo", "Into The Fire" & "Black Night"- Deep Purple
"The Man With The Golden Arm" - Sweet
"Superstition" - Stevie Wonder
"Wrathchild" - Iron Maiden
"Whipping Post" - Allmans
Although I haven't completely mastered it yet, I also love "Linus and Lucy" from the Peanuts cartoons.

Bass Amps & Effects / Re: How many 4x10's around here?
« on: March 20, 2009, 04:33:16 PM »I own an Ampeg B40. It's a 4 x 10 inch cab. It came with the V4B head.
The cab is not my favorite. It a bit large to haul around. It is not the most effective cab either. No tight lows.
I get better, deeper and tighter lows out of my Eden D210XLT, which is a 2 x 10 inch
But the V4B's dimensions call for an old Ampeg cab underneath!
The B40 is a sealed box, so you won't get lows like a ported cab, at least not with the stock speakers. The Eden has some generous porting, as I recall. Some of the newer design 10' speakers will get down into the 40-50hz range, but even with those the cabinet design won't do what a vented enclosure will (if that's your bag). That said, old Ampegs with 10s (mainly the SVT) weren't designed for deep lows - the concept was to ignore the fundamental frequencies (which were considered problematic in some respects) in order to produce a tone that sounded more focused and balanced in a group context. It's that warm growl that drew me to the old 'pegs in the first place. I always figure that if you're going through the PA, you should be getting the big lows from the system.

I prefer the sci-fi approach.

« on: March 18, 2009, 07:55:12 AM »When we buy meat or cheese for instance it is nice being able to say I would like 300grams of ham or 200g of ham because guess what I might not want just a half or quarter pound.
Take Freud's comments with a grain of salt - the toilets flush backwards there, y'know
I routinely see people order 1/8lb or even 1/3lb at the deli. Some even just say "give me 5 slices of ham, thin please". I, for one don't get all knotted up about precise measurements of luncheon meats.
Automotive powerplants sound so much cooler in CID - and cool is very important
