So the answer is both: maple and rosewood. So now you need four basses: a maple P, a maple J, a rosewood P and a rosewood J.

Give Mark a call and Im sure he'll be delighted to give you the address, a cup of tea will be on order, awesome stuff available!!! [/quote] Oh dear! Dangerously close to the route down to see my folks in Plymouth!

[quote name='dlloyd' timestamp='1466497200' post='3076201'] I've managed to narrow down my preference to the period between the mid 60s and early 90s... [/quote]

[quote name='Bobthedog' timestamp='1466444370' post='3075851'] It depends if your bladder is full. I usually have a p before playing jazz, or any genre to be fair. [/quote] Niiice!

Let's put it to a referendum...

I have a BB and an SR, and they're chalk and cheese! Traditional style passive v modern style active - I would expect your preference to be quite marked if you played both...

[quote name='luckydog' timestamp='1466189998' post='3074059'] . The last song, Watermelon in Easter Hay, is sublime Zappa guitar work, and is imagined by Joe as one last act before surrendering his musical soul. Profound. [/quote] You forgot what happens after he surrenders his musical soul... A Little Green Rosetta - dumb repetition of a jolly little phrase, which in context is a grim downbeat ending 😥 I don't quite remember where I started with Zappa. I love the band with George Duke and Tom Fowler - try the YCDTOSA volume subtitled The Helsinki Concert. The late 70s/80s stuff is great too - Sheik Yerbouti, You Are What You Is - and my favourite, "side two" of Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch. Dive in!

I'm not a GB expert, but pretty much every "proper audio interface" has a headphone out, so your little one can sleep soundly.

I have one (or it might be a '77... Fender dating is a bit vague). It's great but it is, like the one yorick played, heavy.

But you could always replace it (in a TOTALLY uncontroversial manner ) with a Fender decal...

Search for the isolated bass track on YouTube, that may help...

[quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1465805352' post='3071023'] The net effect of doing this is likely to be rolling off the lows below the center frequency of the bass control (since your likely to be boosting everything else) so you might get the same effect from using some sort of HPF like the thumpinator. [/quote] Aren't bass and treble typically shelf EQs rather than filters? Which case boosting the bass would boost the ultra-low frequencies that a HPF would suppress. In mixing there's a definite cut-rather-than-boost consensus, but - issues of headroom aside - this is because cutting is less likely to impose a "flavour" on the tone: but if you like the flavour that boosting gives, then boost away!

The bump from Zombie has reminded me to mention that the Nugen Audio AB Assist tool is now available in VST and AU formats (it was just AAX originally)... http://www.studio-one.expert/studio-one-blog//free-nugen-audio-ab-assist-plug-in-exclusively-from-the-production-expert-group To recap, as well as allow you to A/B-compare two sources, it also lets you X/Y-compare them - you can choose your preference without knowing which source is which.

As in " Look at that vocalist, He is exuding hubris?" [/quote] That's right, it's more of a vocalist/guitarist thing than a bass thing!

I'm actually surprised that they found two hit songs that weren't written by the same team of 15 writers and producers... #oldcynic
