A pretty good conversion with 5-string p/u's and a 5-string bridge, though. No, it's ben made that way from the outset. It's not a Fender Custom Shop, but it's not a Fender Custom Shop price, either. My six-string fretless wasn't a big-name make, either, but we've been playing gigs with it for several years, now. The one above has no snob appeal, granted, but is, I reckon, OK for the asking price. Just my tuppence-worth.

Posted previously (2015...), but may well count still...

Trick o'the light, mate; trick o'the light. (... and for a fretless 'fiver' 'jazz' copy, I don't think £99 is too bad a price...)

This is a Bryce acoustic bass headstock, with its logo... Hope this helps.

As explained, the 'click' seems to be present for the whole band, and the track we see is what the room mic picked up on the 'One' beat. It's suspect, and very unusual for recording. That's why I asked if we could hear the issue, not just see the DAW screenshot. We're not seeing a typical DAW recording at all.

I'd agree, adding that it would appear that you're playing slightly faster than the tempo (each of those bass notes creeps forward a tiny bit more each time...). I wouldn't worry about the click, though, as it is, itself, behind the beat as shown by the bar lines (OK, it's not really a 'bar' as such, just the time divisions for the 4/4 beat but... Whatever...). You won't be able to match that up to the click, as your notes don't match up to the 120 bpm. Does it matter..? Over the length of a song, if this was continued, you'd be seriously 'out' after a short while. As that doesn't seem to be the case (or you'd have noticed, along with your bandmates..!), I'd say it's all fine, hunky-dory and just dandy. You could try, as an exercise, lining it all up, just to see (hear..?) if there's any difference; I suspect that, if there was, it'd sound worse. If it's 'rock' you're playing, just carry on; it's fine. Really. If that's your only issue, you're doing OK.

Two notes (I think it's Marty Balin on bass here, not Jack Casady...)....

Alas and alack; I rue the day (well, it was night, actually..) that this burden was laid upon me by The Seeker, cursed to roam the pages of forums (fora..?) to mete out retribution to those defaulting on the use of apostro... Ooo look..! A bee..!

Hmm. May I suggest re-reading posts before committing them..? Are they so urgent as to not be worth the time to be sure that they are correct in all respects..? Hmm...

Isn't that the way wireless IEM's work (and you mean 'battery-powered receiver, I think..?). There's a whole range of IEM's available, from many sources, and at all price points. Wold they do the job..? If you were to wear the Tascam at your belt, you could plug the bass in, directly, and use ordinary headphones. That would be the least expense, but would have cables to the Tascam and to the headphones, but nothing else; no need for wireless. No good..?

That's never stopped most of us; do as Lenny and I do, and just 'roll it in glitter'.

Have you heard Lenny recently..? ...

Could you 'screenshot' this, please..? It's possibly just a matter of degree; half a bar ahead is obviously a tad 'too much', but bass notes have a certain build-up to them, so it's not always the peak of the note that one hears first. If we could see how far away from the beat you are, we could maybe advise a bit better..? Another point is that it's Music, not Mathematics, and often enough, too 'mechanical' doesn't cut the mustard. Let's see, first, though (and maybe a quick sonic extract, so as to hear what's what..?). If you can. Douglas

It didn't do Segovia any harm. Many bands just seem to prance around, mostly in an affected 'Look, I'm up on stage' manner, with no rhyme nor reason. Once off-stage they go back to a normal semblance of Humanity; the 'stage' presence' being simply sham, going through the motions, artificial, shallow stuff. If it's to be a ballet, get it choreographed by someone competent. If it's a musical event, play the music. Quality is Quality, and pogoing is not much of a visual addition to the event. I'd rather see (and listen to...) good musicians playing good music than good musicians poncing about pretending to create 'ambience'. The 'Shadows' stage moves are cringeworthy, in my view, and they were amongst the Good'uns..!

I went to Nottingham to get my Verithin bass, and on another occasion to Kingston-on-Thames for my Hiwatt amp. I live in Lower Normandy. If it's worth wanting, it's worth fetching, I reckon.

It worked for Jaco ...

My 'bucket list' bass (I already have semi-acoustic basses; the JC won't trouble me at all by its size and shape...).

Any reason why this solution ... ...shouldn't fix any neck-dive issues..?

I'm not sure that everyone realises that this is a 'shreds' video..?

Hmm... Best steer clear of Daniel Defoe, then.

For some, maybe; not for me. Why Art, specifically, or only public figures..? Enid Blyton: still a Good Read for children, even if there are Golliwogs in the stories..? Salman Rushdie: do his views warrant a death sentence..? How much do we know of the manners of Chippendale..? What's so special about public figures at all..? Are anonymous folk except from this moral gaze..? Why..? It all seems very odd to me, with dotted lines drawn in thick fog surrounding a moral maze. I think that there are more important issues that are worthy of action, but... Who am I to sort out what is and what isn't..?

What is this 'playing the gig' of which you speak..? ...

Not a Facebook user, so can't see stuff posted this way. Never mind; thanks for trying. (If anyone has means of posting this in another format, I'd be interested ...)
