    @Sardonicus - so the music is unlikely to challenge you so focus on the positives - you are being trained to pick up songs quickly, improvise parts, change key on the fly… all that stuff without paying Scot’s bass lessons* for the “pick up songs quickly”, “improvise parts” of “change key on the fly” lessons * other online bass lessons exist but don’t show me adverts everyday on YouTube so might as well not

    I’ve built bitsas before (MM style) and swapped neck screws for inserts and machine bolts - that made a difference. Freedom custom guitar research make basses with a dovetail and one bolt that you can torque differently to get different tones, tight for a more modern tone and slightly looser for one more like a vintage fender. wal use machine bolts so far i think a stiff neck bolted onto a mahogany body with fairly high mass bridge would get you in the ballpark. To start messing with pickups and electronics.

    So in practice this sounded good, hx stomps recent synth stuff meant that I could do a load of the synthy trance stuff on the bass and theworldsworstelectrickeyboard could do piano chords I think… and then something change in my inears and I had to play the first two songs more or less deaf with the sound of cajon in my left ear and a massively loud keyboard peaking everything fuzz in my right … it could have been amazing sounding could have been a dogs dinner, kids jumped around and I didn’t do major damage to my hearing so chalk that down as a win. happy Easter everyone, he is risen!

    Did they shut it down? I think G&L are still building P bass shaped objects there…

    unless it becomes so ubiquitous it just gets used as a name for the style of item... like a Biro or Hoover. Body shape, split pickup in correct position or single coil in 50's position, stratchplate to match pickup, nut over 40mm, neck (ideally maple) with 4 a side tuners.

    I mean “tonewood” apart that’s not far from the inside of an ikea desk…

    @AndyTravis?!
  8. LukeFRC
    oh don't. Like this one is nice but the other one makes me wonder how much trouble I would get in for buying it...

    What people say about looking for the mids in the bass… but don’t make it a thing about gear and preamps …. also work with the keys player and look at their eq too.

    low tension Labella aren't that much different than normal round wounds, and they aren't as flexible as something like TI jazz flats. I imagine you would be fine?

    No I mean - someone floating eBay sales looking for a price, too private sale is ok… but high value items I like to know who the person is or have some kind of contact details or something … so if something goes wrong it’s Barry who lives x who you need to talk too…

    A more interesting question would be would he let you collect? Delivering and cash on delivery seems like a handy way of not having a paper trail at all....

    and gone!

    Avicii crossed with Coldplay goes back to my answer of “what does current Christian worship music sound like” “Coldplay with a 5 year delay”

    (and no practice)

    so Easter Sunday apparently the kids have been learning a dance to a song and are going to do it for everyone... kicker is that apparently we're playing it... with a small band and cajon ...

    Should have got a Bacchus

    It’s cos that’s a Squier affinity which has them further back cos increased tolerances is cheaper to make this would be a better comparison https://www.andybaxterbass.com/collections/fender-precision-bass/products/1957-fender-precision-bass-2-tone-sunburst-2

    what kinda sound you want and how many holes you have to use on the bass? John East stuff is very clean and clear sounding....an Aguilar for example will have way more colour to it.
  20. LukeFRC
    Any updates?
  21. LukeFRC
    Good news for you… Yamaha corp and Yamaha Motor Co Ltd are separate companies.

    You realise your advert has little info about your bass?!

    +1 also fancy wood basses where the use of fancy wood is for no other purpose than to show off the fact that you can use fancy wood. Fancy wood where it's being used as part of the construction, or as a "tone wood" sounds good. thick poly finishes. Anything with hardware that is like chocolate on a hot day when you get a screwdriver near it. bad font choices in logos. eg Valenti with his logo in Optima EMG pickups. I've tried, not my thing

    what he said!

    +1 It goes straight into marketing but I think the odd thing about this thread is how unexcited the tone is. chowny are making better instruments, in a better way and here in the U.K. to drive better quality. It’s something to be excited about and use as a basis to sell from.
