Leona Lewis made a decent offering with One More Sleep in 2013
-
A mate of mines Xmas song was covered by Frank Turner a few years back. I still prefer the original though.
-
I saw them around 85, had never really been a fan but it was a great gig, really lively & energetic which wasn’t what I expected.
-
As above, tools for the job, songs in the set require the low B string so best it’s there & available. I rarely use the G, and in my last band I rarely used either the D or the G, doesn’t matter, play the instrument you like.
-
And wondering why after pedalling furiously for 4hrs he’s still no nearer to the pub……
-
They’re nice, more like a traditional flat but again take highs nicely and don’t sound “flubby” on a Precision like some can.
-
Oh they still sound like flats, but are easier to be pushed to a rock sound than others. My flats faves are Dunlops, find them to be really nice to play. 45-105 are less tension than Roto rounds tho.
-
Well at heart I’m really not a flats guy, but they’re a bit more scooped in the sound than most other flats, and can be pushed to sound quite “round” and aggressive as the top end is pretty decent. Apparently Phil Lynott used them so have a listen to some live Lizzy perhaps?
-
I found Roto 40-100 flats to be comparable to their 45-105 rounds tension wise.
-
Kinell, I find I rarely use them all on a 4 string!
-
Duh-duh-duh!

I`d reckon it`s possible that the owners/sellers are trying to offload whilst they think that people still have some money left. Either that or they happen to need the money themselves, or due to increase in interest rates think they may get a better return with the money invested in accounts etc.
-
I think that the second hand price, around £1100/£1200 is what they really should be when new.
-
I used those for a good few years. Ever mindful of my OCD they matched my Ashdown amps quite nicely. -
Great video: Bass Channel comparison of preamp pedals

Darkglass Microtubes B7K Orange Bass Butler GK Plex Tech21 Geddy All got my vote Which is rather annoying as I have the Sansamp and Ampeg SCRDI. I liked the Sansamp in that clip, wouldn’t rave about it, but not keen on the SCRDI at all (tho love it when I use it at home). -
I think it’s the reassuring presence. Tho strangely enough last week I used both my Jazz and my Precision at rehearsal, I preferred the Precision as there was that reassuring solidity to the sound whereas the band preferred the Jazz as it has more lows.

That is awesome

What use will they be, we won’t be able to see or keep warm…..

Nice of her, have you told her that’s what she’s getting you yet?

I wish I had an instrument (ideally a Precision) with that much history, must be great. I have my fave Precision which I’ve owned new since 2015 and have a lot of great memories/experiences with it but 40 years, I’ll bet there’s some stories there.

What are the "Jazz" basses with thicker neck?
Lozz196 replied to mario_buoninfante's topic in Bass Guitars
I`ve got a couple of the 2013-16 Fender US Standard Jazz basses, the necks are deeper on these than any other I`ve tried. Still nothing like a Precision of course as the nut width is regular Jazz, but still quite chunky. -
Dave, in your punk covers band do you do A Merry Jingle by The Greedies (Thin Lizzy & Sex Pistols)? If not would be a great one to put in.
-
Awesome
-
I’ve currently got the v2 Sansamp, which isn’t as scooped in the sound and has a mid control as well. I find to get a weightier sound on the higher notes/thinner strings that backing off of the blend, treble and presence, then increasing the gain gets this. The gain seems to add in high end as well as thickness so I end up with the same eq, just a thicker version.
-
I’m a Precision man through & through. I do really like Jazz basses though, have learned how to get what I need from them but when it comes down to a what’s my fave only Precisions enter my mind.
