  1. When I finally discovered The Beautiful South was a great day...
  2. OMG!!! Rarely see these for sale and now there are two on this thread....sheet!!! I don't even have the money for one! We all know this is a monster bass - GLWTS.
  3. Reputations precedes this bass...we know it's going to be amazing. Trade for somebody else's kidney?
  4. I like the murals of a fella with a smart phone camera taking photos.
  5. A quote from "The Bass Lesson" by Victor Wooten when "Michael" suggests that Music is made of 10 equal parts. "Now we have ten different but equal parts of Music: notes, articulation, technique, feel, dynamics, rhythm, tone, phrasing, space and listening." He goes on to describe how he "played space". A great read (or listen, if you have the audio book).
  6. Not familiar with the actual Yamaha model you're interested in but having owned basses by both marques I can reassure you that you're on the right path. I would be happy with either bass, both punch well above their price point and are very user friendly.
  7. Been driving me mad when I look at this... reccomended Single "c", double "m" Recommended
  8. I defy anybody to write a better bassline to "I want you back" (Jackson 5) or "Forget me nots" (Patrice Rushen). Both basslines are masterpieces and completely left field from what the majority of bass players would have played. Working with original songs, there are so many permutations that what is "better" becomes a matter of style and personal taste.
  9. I'm connected to Yolanda Charles on Indeed:

      Hey Yolanda, hope that you are well. Thanks for accepting me as a friend on here. Wondering why we don't hear more from you on the basschat.co.uk forum.. Mick (TheGreek)

      Ha! I don't know - perhaps it's time I joined in the chat...  I'll have a think on it :)

    1. Bass Culture

      I never realised she was a member.  I feel the fairer sex are under represented generally on BC, especially considering how many great female players there are out there.  It would great if she contributed more.

  10. Somebody will inevitable ask if it's good for metal...
  11. Add this to your list of fantastic basses... Forwarded to the NoTreble Bass of the Month?
  12. More more more (how do you like your love) - Andrea True Connection
  13. Thank you!! I was convinced that the placement would affect tuning/ intonation.
  14. Great basses - and not just for the money!!! A certain Mr Fender was very pleased with them.
