The tiny basses built by @Jabba_the_gut do put one into a terrible quandary, they are items of such beauty that once you are actually holding one you simply don’t want to give it back. This is a pic from the BFSW Bash and let me assure you I’m considering the distance to the exit, how many people I’ll have to knock out on the way and whether of not I can vault over two rows of collapsible tables after eating that many roast potatoes and falafel. I regret having seconds.9 points

Quick update from me - the case arrived at about 4pm today, approx 30 mins before the wife arrived home. Ample time to un-box, cut up said box and scatter around the town in various bins and tuck case inconspicuously in the office!5 points

Handy that you both take the same size and that she was prepared to part with them.... 😁5 points

Hi guys Today we started using a better and faster search engine for Basschat. Elasticsearch allows much faster searching, more accurate results and works for shorter search terms which it didn't before. It'll also make the site faster when browsing. We hope you find it more useful. Now go and use it to find your next bass, or to argue with someone about something Cheers ped4 points

Some new basses (very limited) on offer - the Stingray 5HH (with 9 volt electronics) looks particularly wonderful. https://www.music-man.com/bfr/april-2019?utm_source=email&utm_campaign=april_bfr4 points

Thanks for nice words all. It’s just been sold to a young punk lad.4 points -
Whilst it has been a slight inconvenience, it has given me a prompt to find a fresh moose for my own avatar. Let the blasting recommence!4 points

You can get away with a lot of simplification when playing live. Obviously there are occasionally iconic bass riffs that people would recognise if you played differently (like Another One Bites The Dust or The Chain) but generally if you simplify a bass line, the only people who will notice will be other bass players, and most of them will appreciate that you did it for a reason. On the off chance that someone comes up to you afterwards and says "I noticed that you played the bass line wrong..." then just smile and say "yeah, I know. Crowd still seemed to enjoy themselves though, didn't they." S.P.4 points

[Price reduced to £3500 and open to offers] Hi After some careful deliberation i have decided to sell my lovely Mk1 (lined fretless). I purchased this secondhand circa 1995 and it was my primary guitar for several years - gigging and in and out of the studio. But, as I've gotten older (and kids have come along) it is been used less and less and deserves to go to someone who will give it the love and attention it deserves. I am new to this forum so not sure of all the etiquette around selling, but I live in North London and would be happy to entertain visits if someone lived locally and wanted to try it out. (I have a SWR Redhead from back in the day) As expected, it has a mahogany core but with elm facings. There are a few scuffs on the body, although the lacquer along the neck is intact. Two screws are missing from the back plate. (It was last set up about 18 months ago, so the strings are equally as old, but i have hardly had it out the case in that time.) Hard case included in the sale, but it is not the original one. When sold i would prefer it collected rather than shipped, but can negotiate that as necessary.2 points -
Hope this is ok to post here as well. Awesome fretless 4 string bass. With fret markings. This is the model before the TB10 that retails on the net just over 2000. Fantastic bass in fantastic condition. Only selling to fund a custom build so I'm trying not be open to trades (you might change my mind with a top end 5 string but I'm trying to stay strong). (Or a Warwick Star Bass 2 ). This bass can be played as an upright with an included tail pin. Neck is arc shaped to allow for bowing. I also have a solid flight case and a soft case. Based in Macclesfield.2 points -
***SOLD*** For sale or trade + cash (effects, 5-string basses) is my beautiful and rare Music Man Stingray 5HH PDN Premier Dealer Network in neptune blue. Specs: - limited run - high grade birdseye maple neck, roasted - selected mahagony body with a nice grain - limited run see through neptune - black and new transparent pickguard EU shipping possible.2 points -
Hi. My names mark & I'm 46. Been playing since I was around 8ish. After a long few years away from playing out live, I've just joined a band of 40 something year young musos & am really looking forward to the first proper get together in a week or so. My long time bass is a fender jazz from 1997 in sunburst, maple neck which is my number1. Amp wise it's a new 800watt fender rumble D class amp & fender 4x10. I'm gonna be heard that's for sure! Pictures to follow. Anyway. Thanks for having me hear in your bass community, I've already had a good smile at some the witty comments that's been posted, ah bass players have such good humour. 😁 Markjazz2 points

I'd say wireless was a no-no. They're mostly only designed for music playback so low latency isn't a priority, opting to build in a buffer to help prevent any signal dropouts, which results in a delay between what you play and what you hear!2 points

oh, and if you can find a Fender PB70-US ASH R/W model you will be laughing!!!!!! Stunning Japanese made basses! I would grab one in a heartbeat , funds allowing. I'd say that that's a great place to start for your John Deacon bass.2 points

Its Burke's birthday today.. Happy birthday to a great bass player, whose bass lines with Budgie were a great inspiration to me when I was starting out. Any other fans here?2 points

It's just the one night we're doing with Sting and the rest are with Pink on her UK/EU tour, but yes it's a fantastic run. Going to be out for a full month but I think I'll just about cope.2 points

Just spotted this. New and old bass day. The Lakland neck just feels tiny. You may have noticed its missing some knobs. Bought it like that and in the post. And there is no way I'm paying £200 for a scratch plate. Think I have a black Jazz plate somewhere.2 points

It's you playing a cover. So you don't have to copy every note. How would you remember every note anyway! You only have to get the feel and essence of the song but, unless it's a riff, you don't have to play every note in the exact place. In this song the verse has an octave feel. Get that right and do what Flea does. . . put your own fills in between.2 points

Well my avatar was uploaded to BC from my hard disk, as it's the result of my mighty fine Photoshop skills in creating an image of a bluejay playing a lefty Warwick Corvette. I never saw the short period of down time, as I only logged on to BC hours later. So I don't think I was logged in when the great slaughter happened. 🤔2 points

One of my bands had Dani C on the set list. To be honest, I pretty much made it up as I went along and put my own fills in. It was in the set for about 5 years and not once did anyone ever accuse me of doing it wrong.2 points

My wife is a musician (got a degree and all that!) and was quite understanding when I bought my last bass. I only have two (basses that is, not wives!) and have no plans to expand the collection. Even if I did, I would need to obtain a lot of bass guitars to match the price of my wife's oboe and cor anglais!2 points

As promised - please find enclosed a little tune especially for you Cameron! Hah Should probably add that I was making this up as I went along and that it's got loads of mistakes etc but once I get going I keep adding layers, I just can't help myself Bass is full vol, tone at 75% Second track is bass with pick and auto wah Third is bass at full tone with Muff Fuzz and shitloads of bayzzz2 points
