Yo. I have my bass base reasonably well covered but there’s so much more I’d like to do with it. Since wanting to play fretless bass since about 14 or so, I’ve still never got one. I’m still interested in getting a small and light 4 string fretless ukulele bass (check them out).

And my active 5-string has sounded shit for ages. I have to play and edit carefully to get anything good out of it.

I probably have the bass base better covered when it comes to synth bass. And guitbass.

“Never expected you to listen to my loops”

Why not? I wasn’t planning to download any, just having a listen. Doesn’t take long.

Dirt is awesome but sometimes I don’t really like listening to it as it can be very depressing. Some of it sounds like pure drug hell. Rain When I Die is probably my fave – very uplifting and the main guitar riff is spectacular. The first 3 tracks are genuinely amazing. Doesn’t come much more badass than Them Bones and Damn That River.

Don’t forget to check Youtube for some Lane Staley acapellas. I think Them Bones might be on there and it sounds amazing.

Hope Tool don’t pad another album out with a few odd and dud tracks. I told you that if 10,000 Days was about 6 tracks long, it would be one of the best albums/EPs ever made. That is a scientific fact.

Maybe another album in 5 years. Let’s hope they’ve worked out how to incorporate some dubstep and that their sequencer will allow them to get down to 2BPM. I wonder if they use Fruity Loops. Or maybe they have their own custom version – Tooly Loops.

I did actually listen to quite a few of them but they're not my sort of thing. And I hardly use loops anyway - just drum ones from time to time. Will need to get some good jungle/breakbeat ones at some point though as I have a funk bass/Hendrix rock turns into heavy breakbeat jungle track plan for when I can find the time.

Never heard anything like what I'm planning but don't have the breakbeat drums though guess I could download loads of them when necessary. I'd prefer to program them up myself using acoustic kits but not sure I can get the sound I want that way. We'll see.

Yeah - Spivkurl. You need to get your shit back from those 48 people (so far) with terrible taste who've downloaded your shit. Tell them someone's made you see the light and you now know your loops are shit so you're taking them back and are going to bury them in landfill so that no one can be offended by them.

Yo. Been listening to all your loops from the top of the list down. Lots of good stuff, as would be expected. Have to comment on this one as it really reminds me of Alice In Chains' kickass song Them Bones (main riff, I think). Track 1 from Dirt, undoubtedly one of the greatest grunge albums ever - almost the definition of grunge.
