[quote name='DavidMcKay' timestamp='1444818877' post='2886294'] How rude! Not just rude of you but your two sycophants. [/quote] Have you not stirred up enough trouble yet? Baiting the mods - you fed up of being a member on here or something?
-
[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1444766785' post='2885866'] That was somewhat inevitable from you [/quote] Ha!

[quote name='DavidMcKay' timestamp='1444758421' post='2885713'] Ah - I was wondering when someone would use the term Troll! Kind of word that seeks to nullify any critique via an ad hominem statement. Bit like calling someone a racist because the conversation makes you feel uncomfortable so you say what you can to nip it in the bud! Not that I am saying that is your intention. Simply an observation! Kind regards, Mac [/quote] Don't like troll? OK, you're a stirrer then. That any better?

Trolls gotta troll. Trollolololol.

I was in 2 bands at the same time for a couple of years, in the end I felt I had to slim it down because I wanted to focus on the band I was writing songs with. One less rehearsal a week, one less dose of money going to rehearsal rooms was a side consideration.
-
Also the strap button's been moved from the heel to the bottom edge of the top horn.
-
Somehow managed to get an R&B/blues/rock originals band going in punk/rock infested Aberdeen. The right people must be out there!

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1444578128' post='2884238'] Yes, I was meaning to support your point. [/quote] Ah, I see. Sorry I misread that.
-
[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1444573812' post='2884200'] Not even all Precisions sound the same. [/quote] That's why I said "will sound the same... except they won't..."
-
[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1444558482' post='2884002'] You know, that's kind of what I was thinking when I read through this thread, a bass is a bass with your eyes closed they all sound the same . [/quote] You'll get chased with pitchforks for saying stuff like that. Of course when the "P bass is the only bass you need" brigade have their way and eradicate all other basses from the world then all basses will sound the same Except they won't and we'll be subjected to endless maple vs. rosewood and alder vs. ash debates and how everything was better before 1965.

I'll jump in and say Gibson are a pale shadow of their former selves these days before anyone else does. -
Random but over time fair distribution. It's pretty much on a whim, but I try to take a different one every time. If I've decided which one to take to a gig then I'll do the rehearsal before with that bass. Think of it as an installation test
-
Look at it another way, I'm in a band where everyone's so modest about their talents, so nice to each other that no-one wants to be the boss. Nothing gets done, I'm the first to get annoyed about it so now I'm the "boss". Everyone looks to me and I'm bloody awful at it! We've all got our problems Also, our keyboard player is a charming gentleman, talented, modest, sings too!

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1444463609' post='2883378'] Do they know gigging is fun? Blue [/quote] FFS Blue, that's an opinion, not a fact.
-
Depends if the venue has backline or not. I'm going to go with does have, as that's the norm in my gigging world. £350? Bass would probably be a second hand Yamaha BB414/424. OBBM leads x2, tuner pedal of some sort (second hand Boss TU-2 would do), gig bag. Job done.

After missing out on a 1973-75 Gibson EB-3L to restore (guy sold it outside of eBay while auction was ongoing ) I'm really looking for an old ratty one and annoyed that I didn't use the Buy it Now but figured I could get it for less in an auction, oh well.

Looking good
-
As someone who participates in the creative process (be it writing from scratch or adding my tuppence worth to someone else's idea), I don't relish the prospect of creating in a vacuum - the songs need to be played to random people to see how they go down otherwise how will you know if you're any good at writing songs?
-
Don't get hung up about mistakes - they are fleeting moments in time - don't let them derail you. Be well rehearsed. Above all, enjoy yourself.
-
Poll, how many many basses have you got?
neepheid replied to PaulWarning's topic in General Discussion
I can afford it and it pleases me to have a small selection of basses to choose from. Justify it? No. -
The bass has been traded and is no longer for sale. -
I've tried to show (stupidly exaggerated actually so no-one feels like they're being misled) the chips around the bridge post. Cursory look: Angled to point the room lighting in: Stupidly exaggerated with flash: Make of it what you will. Honestly, you have to go looking for it, and I don't want anyone feeling like they were misled if I didn't try to show it and they found it days/weeks/months later.

Pretty sure I've no idea what you're talking about...

I'm selling my black Gibson Midtown Standard bass - it's a lovely bass but it isn't getting played enough to justify keeping it so by my own rules it has to go. You probably know the skinny on these, but just in case you don't - mahogany chambered body, maple top, mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, bound body and neck. What's different about this one is that the neck pickup has been replaced with a DiMarzio Model One and the volume is a [b]push/push[/b] pot (not push/pull - don't pull it!) to allow series/parallel selection (up for parallel) - quite a tonal difference between the two and a worthwhile mod in my opinion. Comes with original hard shell case in excellent condition. Full specs here (apart from the pickup change of course): [url="http://www.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Bass/Gibson-USA/Midtown-Standard-Bass/Specs.aspx"]http://www.gibson.co...Bass/Specs.aspx[/url] In good condition except for one little problem - one time when I was stretching strings, one of the bridge posts pulled up out of the body a little and chipped some of the finish around it. The bridge post has been reinserted (and hasn't moved since), the chipping has been disguised by colouring the chips with a black marker. Not an invisible fix, but as it's under the bridge you only see it if you're looking for it. Other than that, it's tip top. Will take some closeups of the area soon. With that in mind, I've reduced the price a little. Looking for £450 + postage.

[quote name='Bass_Guardian' timestamp='1444037039' post='2879562'] Oh man is it on a Sunday? [/quote] It is. Which is why some of us get there on the Saturday - make a weekend of it
