[/quote] Add me to that list..serious Rick gas for me atm! (help) but Is getting a cheaper immation really worth it? A mate of mine had a 4003 but that was a lefty version and he used very light guage strings, I never got a proper feel having to flip it with the strings upside down.

Awesome track and video. Lets hope you get the airtime you deserve.

Thanks Guys appreciate the feedback, I'll mention trying to find a few more bpm for it. I'd say it's one of our stranger sounding songs, hard to really know what type of music it is! (other than crap) lol.

I might regret posting this, as it shows I'm not the greatest bass player out there! but, I set up a static video camera during our rehearsals this week. Thought I might share just one song we did, warts/mistakes and all It's nothing special but our own composition and yes I should ask the drummer to move the cymbal next time. lol. I expect you all to be fluent in Finnish and understand the lyrics ps. please be kind. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UhBKGO9rf0

Nice one. Nothing wrong with the CIJ's, a pup swap and some decent pots on the cheaper models and your away.

I kind of like that.. Just the one knob! and I don't mean Chris. Seems like a nice guy, but his playing sounded awful on that clip lol.

My theory is live for now Lozz and enjoy as much as you can. You never really know what's round the corner. They say one good bass is all you need, so if you can't afford to keep both, maybe hang onto one especially if they really feel right for you. You can always buy and sell again, so it's not as final as it might seem, it's what makes you happy that counts in my book Too early for one of these kinds of posts lol.

Do those of you guys that rotate a few different types of basses, have the same problem as me in that each time I take a different bass to a gig/rehearsal I always think the one I use that week sounds best? Could be the P, J or Ray. spoilt for choice maybe Sad to say I think I'd be one of those knobs swapping basses every song if I had my way lol. Just wondered that's all...

When things seem too good to be true.. springs to mind. It's a nice looking bass, but he's made you overpay and misled you.. what a fooker!

Sly and the Family Stone, for old school funk, rock, groove.

Nice track, I like it. I'm no pro but sounds to me like your bass is getting a little lost with/in the kick-drum in parts. If it were me I'd be wanting to cut through a bit more and the growl to be heard a bit more. But nice sound overall. I'd be happy coming away with a tune like that Edit: Listening again, it was maybe only the chorus and maybe just the 5 stringer?

I enjoyed that, but not seeing him chuck that gorgeous Tele at the end. Could of done a few more numbers. was the fabulous pair right at the end?

Thanks. Nice set-up. Gives me gas for Aggies I copped your settings on the Octave and Envelope, I'll give them a try.

Nice one. Not many better with their chops on the bass

Recon your (SG?) would look nice with red or black I just put some Black beauties on my Stingray to try and tame it a bit, after one practice I'm not totally sold yet, even tho I do like the feel of them. I remember donkeys years ago trying some steel Roto's that had a black coating, but they went dead and lifeless very quickly, I never bothered again with them.

24 and 26 from me lol

It would have to be a 64 for me as well, I can't see me ever seriously gassing for one that much, if someone wanted to buy me one, or I suddenly had a load of cash I didn't know what to do with then it might be another story.. A sunburst would hit the spot, but then again I'd probably not like to gig it or want to take it out anywhere, so it would just be for the pleasure of looking at and picking up once in a while. But why not, we only live once. (That I know of)

Any one checked this DVD out yet? I just put in an order, I'm sure it will be worth it for the Q&A alone [url="http://www.30hertzrecords.com/stores/index.php?app=gbu0&ns=prodshow&ref=dvd_36&sid=54ns16bd7b4a0vzr50t5av933x1d3k7x"]http://www.30hertzre...0t5av933x1d3k7x[/url]

[quote name='rogerstodge' timestamp='1349198368' post='1823190'] You like having a FEW basses to swap around cos you've got gas like everybody else on here,(including me) [/quote] Think your right and it seems to be related to all types of bass gear.. and seems incurable! lol

I have been giving my 2008 Jazz a run out again of late and been liking it's honk. TI flats with the bridge on full, neck on half and tone half-way, not lacking in any lows through a 212. That's why I like to have a few bass's to swap and change.

[i]I tend to hang onto the Bass's I buy new for much longer periods;[/i] [i]The Warwick Streamer I had for over 20 years,[/i] [i]The Ibbby Blazer I bought in about 79 and still resides as being mine, even tho my old School mate and drummer has had it on loan for the past 20 year's.[/i] [i]The new Fender Jazz I bought back in 2008 is still with me and going no where.[/i] [i]The second hand ones have come and gone, but happy with my stock atm.[/i]

Day off for me today and been wanting for a long time to try and learn our Norms "Hit me" been at it about 4 hours now and just about got it up to speed! Seems to be more about getting the muscle memory working than remembering the notes. I'll be happy if I can crack it Good on you Norman.

Much more like rounds than Chromes. [/quote] Sounding nice, I think I might get on with that mix. I'll give them a go next time I'm buying strings. I just ordered a set of DR BB's to try on the Stingray as I'm finding the Cobalts a bit too zingy and theTI flats have gone back on the Jazz. I think I'm happy, then it all starts again.. bit like GAS!!
