    In my experience it’s mostly down to how hard you’re plucking/picking. Playing softer helps me to eliminate some of the clank. Flats will help reduce fretting hand noise too.

    It's not the worst shape or finish I've ever seen. I reckon colour wise it's closer to bile than vomit.

    The more you ignore me - Morrissey

    Personally I lost interest after POP, but Aching Baby is one of my all time favourite albums; such a creative use of technology and some great songwriting.

    Maybe Clayton is a victim of association, it's not really his playing that some folks have a problem with, it's just that he's in a band with Bonob.

    And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why we love Tool.

    Do yourself a favour - buy/stream/download 'Lateralus' by his band Tool. Mmmmmmm. Tool.

    Yeah, I've poked fun at AC's abilities, but the fact remains that he's made more money playing fewer notes than any other bassist you'd care to mention. Working by the formula Cost per note = Massive wealth / note then he's probably the most expensive bassist on the planet per note.

    Alchemy by Dire Straits- the first live album I ever heard/had. Still magic.

    And Norman Reedus from the Walking Dead playing bass on stage with Anthrax… https://www.tmz.com/videos/0-4r2tuun4/

    …a change is probably a good idea.

    Bargain! Practically brand new and practically half price! I’vee got a set on my P bass bitsa and they sound great.
  13. paul_5
    They sound quite similar in my experience

    Shout back ‘interpretive dance!’ and wiggle about a bit. Works every time, well. that one time I tried it, but it’s still a 100% record!

    Yep, steaming turd to a shining diamond on the other side

    I’ve had this in the past, and a cheap Palmer power conditioner stopped it dead. https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Palmer-MI-PURIFIER-Power-Conditioner/1PT8?gclid=Cj0KCQiAys2MBhDOARIsAFf1D1fFq-93h5rrDJCrPrWXzZkR0m3EeKQVclzJPFPc7a2F7ydf2xK8eVMaAsgMEALw_wcB

    I have a Jazz with rounds for my work with an 80s/90s party band, a P with tapewounds for study (cheaper than playing rounds all the time, and less taxing on my wrists), a fretless Jazz with coated Roto Nexus) for ‘me’

    I might be able to carry off BA55 AR5E convincingly…

    Well, there’s about twice the amount of chrome on there that there should be.

    I thought hockey season started later?
  21. paul_5
    Broke 2 strings?!? that’s twice as many as I’ve broken in over 30 years of playing, I’m afraid it would have been a ‘no’ from me.
  22. paul_5
    Tape wounds are AMAZING for dub/reggae - I’ve just fitted a set of Rotosound Trubass to my P and the low end is immense!
  23. paul_5
    Microphone placement. Unless I’m mistaken that’s a double bass.
  24. paul_5
    No, but collectors of a certain age will buy one to hang on a wall.
  25. paul_5
    That’s tragic. I’m so sorry for your loss.
