If we've learnt anything at the numerous tests at Bass bashes is that even bass players/owners struggle to tell the differences. I think the closest we've come to any agreement is that Rosewood fretboards tend to be "warmer" than Maple boards. Personally, I agree with @Doctor J, that looks make a difference. If I like the looks of a bass then this will influence whether I fall in love with the tones. If all of this is only a placebo effect then great...if others don't agree, so what...

Going Underground (inevitably) - The Jam

Can't find it but I did find this.

I have the schematics to build one of these kits somewhere...

Working on a chain gang - Sam Cooke

February Stars - Foo Fighters

Wait in vain - Bob Marley

For those looking for a good Reggae album live can I suggest Steel Pulse - "Rastafari Centennial" live in France.... David Hinds, one of Reggae's best voices.

Put your money where your mouth is - Rose Royce

Do you think they'll recognise me??

I haven't had to change the battery on mine (but TBH it doesn't get anywhere near enough use) - as a thought, will one 9v battery be enough to power all three pick ups over time?

No limit - 2 Unlimited

To dampen the sound travelling through the party wall you could think about some heavy drapes about12" off the wall. This will muffle any noise transfer. You can find heavy drapes cheap at local charity shops - nobody wants then as most people see these as "old fashioned" but they can be a feature.

I refuse - Hue & Cry

Diana - Paul Anka (again)

Can you be more specific about the time and place for the handover - I need to arrange an ambush... So, so jealous...

Not necessarily the loudest but when I saw UB40 at Uni of Herts the bass was turned up so loud the only instruments you could hear was the drums and bass. Couldn't hear the keys except on intros, horns hardly audible, guitars (thankfully) barely registering... Basically "CRAP!!" and it was their own sound crew.

Heavy??? I tried one at Brandoni's and it felt heavier than the Warwick 5er I took with me...

Found this:

JOOI this is the 5050 rather than the 4040...5 string? Do you think there's any truth in this? "Only made about 40-50 of these between 1974-75."

That's got a few of you confused I bet... Got my old Bass Collection Nanyo SB310 back (Got It Back) - anybody who's ever owned one will know what great VFM they are - sell for around £200, play like a £1,000 bass. Would you believe it, I deleted the photos I had of it!!! New ones to follow.

Stop Making Sense by Talking Heads - still one of my favourite albums of all time. or....Live & Direct by Aswad...my favourite band at one stage.
