Maybe its pricey because the guy who did the refin also did Wilkos famous black tele and Normans Jazz bass!

Just goes to show how less is more. The first one is really all that tune need IMO. The 3rd one would probably get my vote too if it didnt remind me of Its My Life.

If your father was alive today, he would turn over in his grave!!

If you play hard with a pick they do wear out quicker (In my case anyway)

[quote name='BeardyBob' timestamp='1418304359' post='2628960'] wow. and again, wow. insecure, much? "WE, THE GREATER, HAVE COMPLETED A FINE RENDITION OF OUR MUSICAL ABILITY UNTO YOU, THE LESSER. LAVISH US WITH YOUR LOVE AND MONIES." [/quote] Oh! I see the windup merchants back!!

[quote name='chaypup' timestamp='1418295996' post='2628852'] I think 'someone' has been playing a great big joke, that most here have missed. [/quote] I thought in the back of my mind that the OP was a windup!

[quote name='BeardyBob' timestamp='1418249000' post='2628538'] jeez... talk about thread hijacking. if you were my apprentices you'd all be fired. enjoy your muffled bass tones, folks! [/quote] I had a Whirlwind cable many years back. I remember it was orange. It was very muffled.

[quote name='BeardyBob' timestamp='1418223662' post='2628113'] if there wasn't a floor it would've been much more difficult! mmm, sparkling highs. I've bypassed the horn on my cab now, sounds 'warm' and 'airy' with the Magenta cable! [/quote] I think Pete meant 'Flaw' Although I agree with you that without a floor it would go through the roof!!

Agreed. If I were you I would look at one of these. You can connect it up and jam along to music.

The little solo bass bit sounds out of time. But I like it, sounds very early REM to me. Agree about the snare and kick sound and more bottom on the bass (What was it a P bass?) Also maybe too much compression on the guitar

Yes, it is a bit overpriced. I would try and find an unmolested one for less than that.

You need a bottle of elbow grease, that'll sort it out!

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1418134956' post='2627175'] ah yes thats it... my mistake... I do enjoy a bit of Bananaman. [/quote] I like a bit of Bananarama!

I Always have a spare tuned up ready in case. Its not only strings that go, there are a multitude of other gremlins lurking in the nether regions of the bassworld! Oh, and a Sansamp in case the amplifier packs up as well!

Our singer uses some lyrics which are discreetly placed in front of the monitor which he sometimes peeps at.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1417946446' post='2625250'] I usually do what Gary Mac does first, then once I`m happy with it, from there it`s mostly a medley of Jam songs, Down In The Tube Station, It`s Too Bad, Funeral Pyre. Probably add in Pump It Up by Elvis Costello as well, and more than likely Nice & Sleazy by The Stranglers. If my ears then like how the bass is sounding on my fave lines, as well as my hands finding it easy to play them, well then I`m sorted. [/quote] Pretty much similar here. For pick stuff probably Down in the sewer or Peaches by The Stranglers. Fingerstyle I like to play Come Together or Daytripper. Also a walking line such as The Shadows Nivram or Fly me to the moon etc.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1417771944' post='2623817'] What a great song. Still stands up. And an important environmental message for the kids, too. [/quote] Yes, we do it, It goes down well.

Ths'll be an interesting one to prove.

Come and have a listen as the Grapes (Complete with new drummer) Play the Wheatsheaf & Pigeon in Staines, Churn out their usual drudgery of dad rock classics!

What a vain git! Posting a pic of him playing it. How about a decent pic of the bass in detail? I dont know why he dont post his Lemonrock profile and upcoming gigs!

[quote name='thebassist' timestamp='1417649831' post='2622791'] How come the bass doc is out? [/quote] I dont think he's very well.

Oh dear, those backing vocals are way off!!

OBBM?

I recently played with a sh*te drummer in a functions band. He was so bad that he was still banging away even after the song had ended! The band leader agreed he was bad, but kept him on because he got all the gigs! Needless to say I bailed.
