    The Beatles - Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, Paul Mc Cartneys bass work on 'A day in the life' is outstanding. The Jam - Sound Affects, Bruce Foxton really shines on this album, take a listen to 'But I,m different now, for bass class.

    This reminds me of the Glastonbury mud that was doing the rounds on ebay a few years back.

    Was it a good turnout? seeing that the tennis was on?

    I sing lead on half a dozen numbers and backing on the rest, so looking down at my fingers while singing into the mike is impossible. When I go to see a band live, I hate to see bassists staring at the fretboard. Its a pet hate of mine.

    I hit the strings hard, although I only use Ernie Ball Super Slinkies 45 65 80 100, I cant get any volume from low action. The higher action, higher output.

    I was in the fortunate position to be offered a set of 4 string coated strings for nowt. I know that Elixer coated strings are well respected on here, but anyone tried the Ernie Balls?

    Lord Macca of Scouse, plays some root octaves during the verses on this under rated Bee Attles song, its just a pity his bass is out of tune Great tune though! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTNbhoHaVvE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTNbhoHaVvE[/url]

    [quote name='gjones' timestamp='1341443100' post='1719325'] Boz Burrell never liked this bassline. He played it on his fretless and not very well. He said it was out of tune and it pi**ed him off every time he heard it. [/quote] Strange that! Wonder why he didnt re record it? I dont think its out of tune at all!!

    [quote name='debwilliams' timestamp='1341434552' post='1719112'] This is nothing but a myth, it is untrue ... Domesticity sucks [/quote] Is that the film where the dyson runs amok?

    It came up on my laptop as a PDF.

    Having a debate between some muso friends, about the pros and cons of upgrading the stock Pups on cheaper Squiers and MIM Fenders. Non bass players cant seem to hear the difference betweem my SPB1s, and the stock Mexicans on my P Bass. Im getting paranoid now that I wasted my money. But at least I can tell the difference!!
  13. Hobbayne
    Beatles - Daytripper Roy Orbison - Pretty Woman. Technically these are guitar and bass in unison but easily recognisable.

    I shall follow this thread with interest!!

    We are a 4 peice band and are doing it for £1000. Its not too far out and is an early finish (about 12.30) A lot of venues are struggling these days.

    [quote name='Spike Vincent' timestamp='1341168710' post='1714650'] Just a thought,are we measuring from the finger board or the frets? [/quote] Hmm! I measured from the finger board in my OP, maybe my action is not that high after all? Just goes to show what a wimp my mate is!

    [quote name='Evil Undead' timestamp='1341138424' post='1714117'] I saw that just after I posted, thanks Pete! Aye. When I got it the action was 2mm which isn't quite low enough for me and there was no room left in the saddle on the E. So I shimmed it. Sounds just as good now as it did before. [/quote] Blimey! There must be more rattles than a skeletons disco!
  19. Hobbayne
    Take a listen to over my head from the 1975 Fleetwood Mac album, I've always loved his little bass runs in that tune.
  20. Hobbayne
    Really? How much did they knock off the RRP?
  21. Hobbayne
    I do tend you play rather hard, but I cant get on with that rattley noise you get from low action and thin gauge strings.
  22. Hobbayne
    A bass playing mate of mine came round the other day while I was restringing and setting up the Mexican P I got from Lojo. He had a go on it and handed it back saying he couldnt play it as the action was too high. I though that was odd as I like it like that. Anyway we measured the E string height at the 12th fret as it was 5mm. Is this considered high?
  23. Hobbayne
    Bump

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1340839528' post='1710508'] Ah yes, the Fender VI. And the bassline on 'Helter Skelter' was played by John Lennon on the very same instrument. [/quote] Also Played by Lennon on Let It Be and the awful unlistenable cockups on The Long And Winding Road

    Black PVC covered wooden chipboard case with nice fluffy black interior to keep your bass nice and warm in winter. Made by spider. (Pic from interweb) £20 to the first person who turns up at my front door in Greenford, Middlesex, with a nice crisp £20 note. Sorry, im not posting as I havent got a box big enough. Reasonably good condition, however, it has a few scrapes from gigging, but all catches work.
