Surely she prefers the cost savings of you marrying Yamaha compared to your previous ménage à trois with Yamaha and your pal Roger? (Sadowsky for those not on first name terms)

How do you think he keeps time?

Which really says something about Yamaha’s manufacturing.

Maybe ask the question a different way.... How is a HX stomp not the right answer?

@Sibob is a wood tart?

You posted this 22 hours ago. The question is has @owen had a response yet to his request for a 5 string version?

Talkbass ain’t got anything on our trav

Not a bass... but my first proper amp was a Hughes & Kettner QT600 - loved it. sold it and went through loads of amps ... before finding one and convincing the guy to sell it to me ten years later

On the flip side, I've been involved in a situation the other way around too, 3-4 different bands, all quite good and musically practiced.... wanted to double the amount of services... in hindsight the best way to do it would have been to explain that the quality would drop a wee bit musically. What ended up happening is that the musicicins spent all day on a Sunday playing both services and lots of people just dropped out the rota as it was too much. Sometimes you cut according to the cloth you have. Also what you're aiming for depends on where you are at as a church. In some cases a stripped back simple but honest approach of 2-3 musicians doing acoustic type set well would be better and more authentic than trying to recreate a hillsongs conference in the suburbs every Sunday.

You have dust at the dusty end of your bass?

I wonder - do photos of basses look nicer on a dark background?

Exciting It's kinda like a new pair of underwear. At first it's constrictive, but after a while it becomes a part of you.

Would you trade your Yamaha BBNE2 for ice cream? (asking for a friend)

So mods (green) and non supporting members (black) work - supporting members (gold) goes to sign up page

Only on mobile - clicking the profile pic goes to profile, but not the name.

actually - @Bassassinwould be the person if his knowledge of japanese luthiery extends to ESP 400 series was ESP's line of export guitars and basses made in the mid 80s, in the US they ended up with a different headstock, earlier ones or ones for outside the US like yours has a fender shape headstock.

Are you sure about that? Japanese Fender was/is Fujigen Gakki (with some made by Tokai) I think ESP had their own factories shared with PGM maybe? Not sure on that but I don't think Fujigen made ESP

You've got one... can you tell us about it? I'm guessing you've found the old ESP catalogues (search catalog) with the 400 series in?

Found a wee bug If I go into a thread, posters names are either gold or black. Black works as normal, gold goes through to the “buy subscription” page. Doesn’t do that on desktop so presume not deliberate I’m on iPhone safari

See I don’t mind simple song structures, as a lot of good pop music is often based on simple structures. The bland wall of worship sound on recorded stuff does my nut in. Not only as it’s dull and repetitive but then people who sometimes don’t listen to much music end up thinking that it’s particularly good or “how worship music should sound” ... which of course listening to almost anything else outside a very narrow genre shows you that that it need not sound that way...

Are you suggesting two handed tap solos and tapped harmonics should be part of every believer’s discipleship?

Is that @AndyTravis hiding in the trussing? If you look down and you find that spare bass has become a Yamaha BB424 you know it is!

maybe start with playing the root notes of chords and different rhythms!
