Just wondering if anyone here other than MJK and me are deeply interested in Rock and Roll and/or plays guitar/bass/drums?

What kind of stuff do you guys listen to?

I listen to about every type of rock there is, from classic to heavy metal.

My favorite bands are Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Blue Oyster Cult, Tool, and AC/DC.

I play bass and guitar. I like almost everything but that new R&B sh*t, and country. So that leaves all types of rock, all types of metal,all types of punk (MISFITS!!!!!), all types of classical, etc. etc.

My favorite bassists are Cliff Burton (R.I.P.), flea, les claypool, geddy lee. What else?

[The Grunt]

Misfits rock. Flea is the best bassist ever IMO...

What bass/guitar(s) do you have? I own a crappy bass right now that I'm learning on and I'm buying the peavey exm guitar within the next week.

Yea I can't stand R&B type of stuff and country just rubs me the wrong way.

In a previous life, one marraige and divorce ago, I had a sweet Rickenbacker 4003, Trace Elliot head with a mesa boogie cabinet, really nice. The love of my life, unfortunately, i had to sell it to pay for the divorce and child custody crap. I have a little six string acoustic right now I screw around with.

If you like slap then it's Les first, then Flea, but the best ever IMO is Cliff. No one could rip like Cliff.

I own a fender Jag and several drum machines including four sweet tables.

Awesome. Korp, how much did you pay for your rickenbacker?

Have either of you ever played the Peavey BXP? It's like an entry level guitar, right around $200 and I'm wondering if it's worth the money... It's got humbuckers and 2 single pickups, so it is good in that dept...

I gots to disagree here
Ask Flea who the best bass-player in the world was, ask Burton who it was (don't ask him... he's dead), and they'll all say in unisono: Jaco Pastorius. He was faster than Flea/Burton will ever be, he was more inventive than Flea/Burton will ever be, he was more technical than Flea/Burton will ever be... ask them :/

Oh... little live demo... he must've been drunk... The Weather Report - Jaco Pastorius

But then again: Johnny Ramone is the best guitar player in the world. BIG TIME!

Well, I think I paid around $1000 for it. I had some customizations done to it, though. Because of dual truss rods that thing NEVER came out of tune. Even when I took it outside on cold nights to do some backyard gigs, I was the only one not retuning before the set. The best thing about that bass was you could beat the holy sh*t out of it and it always sounded great. Of course it weighed 35 lbs but who's counting? j/k but it was heavy.

Neg, no doubt, Jaco was great. More inventive than burton? I don't know about that. Two seriously different styles. Something about Jaco's style just never grabbed my attention.

Burton inspired me, Jaco didn't. Eh, to each his own.
