  1. Lovely. I saw that on the BD site. Was quite tempted myself.
  2. Ambition is over-rated. Every frozen corpse on Everest was an extremely ambitious person.
  3. Try this approach http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0AWgq-PywY&feature=youtu.be
  4. This thread confirms I need several P basses.
  5. Right at the beginning it says they had the same strings. On his jazz comparison he also says the "same string set"
  6. [quote name='Lw.' timestamp='1490265553' post='3263701'] Well, they nearly all sound like precisions but the tones vary wildly. I tried loads in the last few months & the difference between all the basses I played was incredible considering they were all 4 string P's with the one split pickup! If it was a rock gig & they were all sharing a tubey stack that might have made them sound more similar especially as most rock bands try to find very similar bass tones as we all know what just works. Here's an example - you'll hear that the 70's one absolutely slays the others. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgzD3vcrExE[/media] [/quote] That's a great vid. So then - the extra bite from the Ash Body & Maple one. Is that from the Ash or the Maple or both? I really like the grind that one has.
  7. I'm going to bet that covers bands with Non-trite set lists get fewer booking that Ines with trite ones. Nature of the beast.
  8. [quote name='Painy' timestamp='1490201947' post='3263220'] There you go, just put a 5 string Stingray neck on it. There's a chap on eBay who specialises in modifications for people with big hands that could soon convert it to a 4 string for you. [/quote] That bloke's a nutter!
  9. Just strip the lacquer off the neck. It will be dark and filthy in no time then!
  10. The WD is a fantastic pedal. It is a bit big, but the controls allow it to be set up really well for bass use.
  11. The Harris model weighs as much as an anchor too. Harris was my first real bass hero when I started playing in the 1980s and I'd love his sig model - but with some of them hitting 12lb. No chance.
  12. I've still never played a wide neck one. I find the concept a bit weird - my 5 string stingray is the same width as a wide P! I'd be worried my fingers would fall through the gaps!! I do like the look of the 50s Roadworns though. My local shop never seem to have any in stock to try though.
  13. Get a used Pino signature model for a fraction of your proper old one!
  14. Lovely. I keep listening to the Mr Exane demo. Sounds great. But then again he makes everything sound good.
  15. I've got one. Bad things - the wah without the fuzz is sh*t on bass. Admittedly it was never designed as a bass pedal, but even so, it's pointless for just wah. Good things - with the fuzz on the wah is excellent. Real grindy abrasive wah, like the man himself. The fuzz on it's own falls into the "not bad at all" camp rather than the "brilliant" camp. I'm pleased I've got it, but there's no doubt you'd have more options with a Weeping Demon and a Duality Fuzz used together. Or separate.
  16. Protein shakes. Even the Slimfast cans have plenty of carbs and protein for an easy snack. Very useful for a pick me up.
  17. First I think. Always seems best to me there.
  18. BF retro One10s for me. Love it!
  19. BSW. Funky squelchy goodness
  20. Full review when you get it please! Looks like an interesting bit of kit.
