No punch and difficult to amplify? , I've heard it all now! Lol

What about rap, skat, humming, that Peter Frampton voice box thing?

So every studio I've ever been to that asked is for vocals and BVs should have said "we are ready for singing and backing singing now"?

So is a rapper a rapist?

I think you've answered your own question, if you put a bass line down using a bass then your a bassist, if you do it using your voice, vocalising it, then you're a vocalist surely?

If you play bass your a bassist, guitar a guitarist, vocals - vocalist?

It always comes back to Adam Clayton doesn't it, lol

I know Flea uses a black Stingray 5 on some tracks, Zender had a pink Stingray five, and Artis has fancy custom basses in both four and five string versions.

Many pit band bassists are pro and most of those appear to be five string players ime, some mighty fine musicians out there from musical theatre groups right upto Broadway!

There are many pro players that use a five string in the studio but not live (or not often at least). Flea - Red hot chili peppers Stuart zener - Jamiroquai Jamareo Artis - Bruno Mars Off the top of my head.

Ignoring the obviously scam prices it still highlights what a mess Gibson are in, I wouldn't even buy any of those at that price!

Never heard of him, lol

I'm actually thinking it needs more relic work, like incineration.

I've tried to listen to Jaco Pastorius many times, awful.

Lump hammers and chisels?

That's not how it works, if you trademarked the HJ banana bass as an actual model then I could quite rightly sell bananas and promote them as that as the two items clearly have no impact on each other, however if I tried to also sell my basses as a banana bass you'd easily be able to get solicitors involved to either stop me or pay you an agreed sum to use your banana logo.

Same here along with many others

Just number one for me then, lol

9. Watching Cold Play.

I can't recall the last bass I had with a tone control.

Unless it meant not being able to pay my mortgage I wouldn't be "upgrading" my amp, "bringing my big rig" or getting "effective hearing protection", I'd be leaving the band.

Shouldn't this thread be called 'Bi Curious Note' then?

It's proper epic isn't it, it's worth another bass bash all of its own!
