Greetings!

Howdy! Nice P-bass!

Don't like them either. For rounds, I use Rotosound Rotobass, and they are unsilked. My split-coil P currently wears TI JF344s, so is lumbered with red silks. However, the TIs are so nice, I'll overlook the silks!

[quote name='TimR' post='1062730' date='Dec 18 2010, 06:24 PM']There are things we know about human biology and psyche. We know that people see colours differently, people appreciate different paintings and women can discriminate more colours than men, some people are colour blind. We know people like different foods and have different tastes, some can stand very hot chillies others only like beef and Yorkshire pudding. We also know that people hear differently, some people have different levels of deafness, we all like different tunes, some people have perfect pitch and others are tone deaf. Women listen to the words/singer, men listen to the music. Drummers listen to the drums, bassists listen to the bass, the best musicians can hear the whole band at once. So why the obsession with 'my tone'? You are the only one who hears it that way. You can't describe it in words to a sound-man. No measuring equipment in the world can measure it to reproduce it. The environment plays a huge part in its reproduction so it doesn't matter how much you spend on your gear when you walk into that dodgy pub with the low beams it just won't work. Buy something that sounds good and concentrate on the notes. Or am I alone here.[/quote] Nope. Bang on assessment. I play what sounds good to me, and what I'm comfortable with. Whether or not anyone else thinks it sounds OK. If there was a truly objective way to do this, taking all variables into account, we'd all be playing the same rig..

60 last year, 65-ish thi, so not bad. Very few charity gigs. Quite a lot of private work, and a good bit of that in the diary for 2011. Considering the guitarist became a dad and I've had two spinal ops (third one for Christmas...), we've done well.

No contest. Keep the P.

Although Joe Osborne does it all wrong for me, in terms of instrument/strings/technique (Jazz Bass/flats/pick), he's probably the guy I'd name as top personal influence.

Howdy!

Howdy, great intro!

Howdy!

Howdy!

Agreed. ^^^ And hello!

He plays Fodera basses, more or less exclusively, I think. And he plays banjo, too, apparently...

No, I'd still rather have a Hiscox Litflite...and I could have two for that price.

[quote name='Dr.Dave' post='939774' date='Aug 30 2010, 08:29 AM']A shame when someone accepts the challenge to act like a professional then behaves like an amateur. A feather in caps though to those who take a 'show must go on' attitude and do the job they were employed to do. Grace under pressure - good on you all.[/quote] I too have take some exception to this common misuse of the word 'amateur'. In a great many fields of life, they are the true masters of their art because, as the word says, they do it for the love of it. The truest amateurs are in fact, nearly always, the most professional of all. Would have been better to use something like, erm, I dunno..."d*ckhead", maybe?

Doesn't sound a pleasant place to be...hope something works out.

and if I'm not mistaken, it is pretty similar to a std Jazz...
