Bl***y hell - Precisions aren't as awful as I thought. [/quote] Macnach yesterday [quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1431772150' post='2774777'] Gig on Friday.

Macnach back in the day... [quote name='mcnach'] Gig on Friday. As usual, one of the OLPs comes out. [/quote] Macnach a year or so later [quote name='mcnach'] Gig on Friday. As usual, the Stingray comes out. [/quote] Macnach a bit later [quote name='mcnach'] Gig on Friday. As usual, I couldn't decide between my Stingray and my Jazz with a MM pickup.

Look up prices secondhand on ebay - they dont go for much. I used to have the q600 head and it was pretty good. Imagine combo goes for 2-300?

happens to me all the time

[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1431539756' post='2772421'] I have the Maruszczyk that WoT tried and it isn't that far off a Pino clone (colour, woods etc) but it has a cream DiMarzio installed with a series/parallel switch! [/quote] thats what that DiMarzio pup you were looking for is for! I did wonder

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1431104564' post='2767884'] We can't, the voicecoil won't do what we want as a 4 ohm version. More headroom though? Bigger amp! Or an FR800 because that's already got 800W of real power built-in. [/quote] stop tempting me!

I've a 1977 BB1200 thats pretty lightweight and sounds great!

try the tone hammer thingy?

[quote name='scalpy' timestamp='1430593098' post='2762994'] I'd rather listen to a pro describing how their music works than a weekend warrior saying they need this bass or that bass for their sound! It seems crazy that most people will read for hours on what gear to use but then just go, oh the music bit, when I'm playing, that's just me. Nuts. I was watching a questlove video the other day and he explains how he has had to learn how to play behind himself to do the d'angelo records. Software companies have spent a fortune developing quantising grids, or top producers spend ages shuffling waveforms around to get the music happening- quantifying rhythm is what we should be talking about on musician forums, not so much 'I use these strings to play the dog and duck!' Sorry, ranting..... [/quote] agreed! I kinda just presumed we would all know this sorta stuff - obviously not so a good thread to have! [quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1430652477' post='2763362'] Surely, as a bassist, you should be listening to the drummer?! Si [/quote] post number 46 before someone points that out! The bass can sit behind or in front of the beat, whatever - but it's pointless to talk about unless you also know what the drums are doing. You've to play as a unit - and the bass placement relative to the drums makes the feel of the song. I played in a band for years with a drum machine and how I chose to place the beat relative to the drum beat would make the song. (right hand technique and the attack of the note is also important) - the whole "ahead is aggressive and fast sounding" and behind is "laid back" etc is meaningless without knowing what the drums are doing. Often with new drummers I've not played with I'll play a game to see how much I can pull them out of time by my note placement- play dead in time but push and pull around the beat and see how good their timing is.... *evil face*

I had a japanese BB300 at one point. Nice bass but picked it up in a trade deal and sold it on. The fella who bought it intended to strip the body down and refinish it, and when he did found some kinda butchers block type wood. Not a bad bass at all but not solid wood. (if that matters)

Or - barefaced - so good they actually make you pregnant.... either could work

[quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1430590660' post='2762963'] Interesting... [/quote] barefaced revelation amp - you heard it made up here first

what do we win if we guess what it is?

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1429997282' post='2757107'] I always think one of the nice things about the for sale section is that you can browse around and might come across something interesting you'd not normally spot. Subdividing would take this away and the section could get a bit boring. I think it would hurt sales numbers too. [/quote] this - you start looking for a fender jazz to replace your squier- and before you know it you've gone through sandberg, sadowsky,valenti and are just putting the deposit down on your sei custom jazz.

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1429984228' post='2756973'] You're not asking too much - a Super Midget will do that just fine! I don't know of any other cab as small or light with comparable output. [url="http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/Super-Midget.htm"]http://barefacedbass...uper-Midget.htm[/url] [/quote] business idea for you.... backpack harness for your super midget and/or retro210 - I imagine some kind of cover with handles and the 210 would be an easy lug
