Are you a mostly low fret player, if so it may well be that you’ve got a bit of fretwear on the lower frets, action set to suit those so when you venture further up the less worn frets are generating some buzz.

Metal-Cream!!

Yes I saw that one, I was quite surprised by it, they have all those roadies etc and he was using a tiny little amp, obviously a caring rocker!

My thoughts too Paul

That`s the way I worked in my old band and why I preferred Ampeg or Ashdown rigs on stage, made the sound nicer to my ears so I enjoyed the gig more.

The one problem in rock is that although many songs are recorded by male artists they were young when they did this so had the range, getting more mature people to hit those notes can be difficult - Axl/Elton/McCartney to name a few. Of course if Elton does audition you should take him, he might be worth the publicity…..

Now £850 This series don’t seem to come up for sale that often which probably tells us all we need to know about how good they are. In ok condition - described like this due to the holes drilled for bridge cover and 2 dents/nicks on the back of the neck at frets 6 & 8 as per photos - otherwise in decent condition, frets are all ok, if you’re looking for a pristine instrument this isn’t for you. Plays and sounds great. Comes in a Gator hard case. No trades, collection/meet up only.

Arriving, reflecting and departing - music for your funeral
Lozz196 replied to snorkie635's topic in General Discussion
In my younger years I had thoughts of Gotta Getaway by Stiff Little Fingers being played at my funeral to inject a bit of humour but now I think I’d like my favourite song, Seasons in The Sun by Terry Jacks played. -
Basses for sale on Basschat - post Brexit.

It’s probably the solution, irrespective of how many were sent I think it would be an Arsene Wenger case of “I didn’t see them”. -
Geddy Lee autobiography - available to preorder.

£26 a bit much but think I’ll still get a copy, maybe I’ll put it on my Xmas list. -

Pay-to-play? Play-for-exposure? How about BOTH?
Lozz196 replied to Rich's topic in General Discussion
I think it’s good to be aware of how our musical colleagues are being treated around the world. Whilst pay to play is nothing new this is the first time I’ve heard of pay to be put on a list to possibly play, the greater awareness we have of rubbish like this the better. -

“are finalising details regarding a paid membership option”, which they claimed “will come with loads of extra benefits both before, during and after performances on the Hochatown Saloon stage”. I think I`d only cough up if the extra benefits were the type that Motley Crue used to get. -
Simple repetition, both listening to and playing along to are the only things that work for me. I will also write notes on a spreadsheet about key and structure if there are a lot of different parts or am learning a whole batch of songs for an audition.

Thirded (if that’s a word). I had the Fender 74s in a Squier VM77 Jazz and they made it sound great.
-
If I recall correctly Mick Quinn, the bassist from Supergrass used to use an Ibanez bass - whatever their Precision copy was - as he said the output was stronger/hotter in comparison with the Fenders of the time.
-
Providing it fits size wise I’d look at their ABM PRO NEO 210, but it may well be worth giving them a call, I’m sure they’ll advise as to what works best as they’re always willing to help out.

As much as I love my Fenders I`m seriously considering a couple of the short-scale versions of these for gigging, save taking out more expensive instruments.
-
Nice work Ash, does make their initial response above look a bit daft - just looks very similar to it - may as well add "it`s a bass, they all look the same".
-
I think it`s great that Tony James is engaging on this, well done to him - and to you too Mike for this thread.
-
Tech21 Q-Strip, completely clean, sweepable low and high mids, very versatile piece of kit.
-
Definitely - or at least the two that I had did. Its def the wrong logo, wrong pickguard, wrong volume/tone knobs. I`d agree with it being photos of a Roger Waters Sig Precision.

Time To Lose Those Pre-Punk Rose-Tinted Specs, I Think ...
Lozz196 replied to Happy Jack's topic in General Discussion
I read in Glen Matlocks book that in 1976 The Sex Pistols were being paid £50 for their gigs, and he went on to say that some bands still go out for that now. Def true on the latter, no idea if the former is correct but the list above would say likely.
