Bass Reviews by Thor Iversen

1. Yamaha RBX270 ·
   I bought this bass because I was at a tight budget at the time. If it got lost or stolen tomorrow, I would probably buy it again. Considering it`s low price, you get alot of bass for your money. Excellent for beginners, or for intermediate playe...(more)

2. D-lusion Drum Station Dt-010 ·
   I use this software whenever I practice my bass at home. I set it up on my laptop, so I can move around the room and still be in range of the drummachine. Works great! I find it alot easier to use this program instead of a metronom. Although a l...(more)

3. Yamaha BB604 ·
   I tried some cheap Fenders and Ibanez' before I settled on this one. I never looked back. If you're looking for a bass in this price range, I suggest you go for a BB604. It also comes in a 5-string version called BB605.

4. Korg Toneworks Pandora PX3B ·
   It does everything I want it to do, and then some. Only thing I miss is a pedal function for the bypass.

6. Lateralus by Tool ·
   Probably the best metal album to come out since the days of Sabbath and Zeppelin. It's spectacular!!

8. Off The Map by Red Hot Chili Peppers ·
   A really good dvd with the Chili Peppers in good form. Some really cool improvs from Flea and John Frusciante. Truly excellent stuff.

9. Images And Words by Dream Theater ·
   This is the breakthrough album from Dream Theater. Is's also the one that in the best way defines the band and their musical qualitys. Don't pass this one in the shelf of your record store!

10. Metropolis PT. 2: Scenes From A Memory by Dream Theater ·
    This one of my all-time favorite albums. Great flowing storyline, along with superb music makes this THE concept album to own. How are they ever going to top this one?

11. When Dream And Day Unite by Dream Theater ·
    Their debut album as Dream Theater is plagued by a poor performance from vocalist Charlie Dominick. The instumental Ytse Jam is the highlight of the album.

12. SIX DEGREES OF INNER TUBULENCE by Dream Theater ·
    This album is alot heavier then their earlier works with alot more riffing from John Petrucci. His new Earnie Ball signature guitars relly shine on this recording. I really like the heavier style.

13. Into Infinity by Dream Theater ·
    Not my favorite DT record. They were pushed by the new management at the record company to come up with something more commercial, and the results speak for themselves. You can't put restraints on a band like this, they thrive out in the open. (...(more)

14. ReLoad by Metallica ·
    Not Metallicas best work. The older stuff was much heavier, and better.

15. Master Of Reality by Black Sabbath ·
    This is a great album. Ozzy is in great form here, and Iommi cranks out the coolest riffs.

17. Tech21 Landmark 60 ·
    I've look at the SWR Workingmans 12, Behringer BX1200, Hartke Kickback 10/12 and GK Backline before I chose this one. This one came out on top because of its small size, big sound and rugged looks. Also it's 100% made in the USA, so quality of c...(more)

18. Boss TU-2 Chromatic Tuner ·
    If it got stolen or lost, I'd buy a new one the same day if I could. It's really one of the best tuners out there. A cool aspect about this tuner, is the choice of outputs. You can either let the signal pass through as you tune, ot you can kill ...(more)

20. Behringer Eurorack UB502 ·
    I used to have a Korg Pandora PX3B for headphone practice, but I never really got to grips with all the effects. I couldn't get a decent clean sound from it. The UB502 blows away the Korg when it comes to headphone practice! It just sounds so mu...(more)
