[quote]it’s a Cliff bassline (from Justice…)[/quote]
Sorry to be all nit-picky and stuff, but Justice album is Newsted not Cliff (RIP, all hail the god of bass!). In fact, just rechecked on the CD inlay lyric sheety thing, and allegedly Blackened is the only song on the album that Newsted had any part in writing!
Trujillo is a demon bassist though, and I personally thought Newsted was really good, it’s just a shame he was treated like crap by Hetfield and Ulrich all those years.
Yeah, I use FreeWebs for my bands site, too.
It’s really easy to start up your own site with the built in design tools, it’s almost like using a word processor rather than a web page designer!
To buy your own domain name (so ya lose the clunky http://www.freewebs.com/…. from the start of your URL) is really cheap, too. We paid the equivalent of just less than £45 for 5 years (around $75…ish!) whereas a lot of hosting sites will charge you a monthly/annual fee of a small fortune!
Also, if ya do buy the domain name, you get much more web space. With the free account you may only have 7 pages, and 50 files, but with your domain name bought, you can have an almost limitless number of pages, and up to 50Mb (I think, I may be overestimating, but it’s quite a lot) of files!
Anyway, good luck with your sites whatever you end up using.

[quote=”Tim”]Duff is a bit of a hero (tho his sound sucks)[/quote]
Duff is a top player, one of my faves, too. But, I think his sound on ‘Appetite…’ is spot on! It’s the way I like my bass to sound, too. (If I can get it to do it! LOL) The definition from the top ‘click’ coupled with the rumbling bottom end is pure class. How Mike Clink hasn’t done more stuff (than I’m aware of. I know he did the duties on one of Megadeths’ LP’s, as well), is beyond me!
And if I can’t quite get that sound, I aim for something akin to Gene Simmons’ sound a la ‘Creatures of the Night’. (OK, now I deserve a telling off…lol) 😈 😆

Actually, still on the subject of Floyd, has anyone suggested the bass line to ‘Money’ as a great/favourite part?
Saw a programme about Pink Floyd on a satellite channel the other week about the history of PF from formation through to Live 8, and during it Roger Waters sat with an acoustic guitar and played the riff through and tried to explain about the bluesy feel in 5/8 timing (I think) he’d used, but how they changed the tempo to a straight 4/4 for Dave to play the solo over so he didn’t have to worry about the changes! LOL
I was thinking more ‘in-the-style-of’ rather than a direct actual Floyd track from The Wall, tbh! LOL
I may have been vaguely remembering the similar-ish bit in ‘In the Flesh’ at the start of the LP, just before the planes start coming over…
‘..so ya, thought ya, might like to, go to the show…’
*hums*
Must dig out my copy and listen to them back to back…
Ya got me with Boulevard, it is kinda root-note central! LOL
Although the progression at the end, albeit slightly Pink Floyd circa The Wall, is very sweet.Goddzi

I think you’ll agree this, among many other GD tracks, doesn’t go ‘EEEEE-DDD-AAA’ on the bass! 🙂
