Bought Paddy's MXR Bass Synth pedal from him and the transaction couldn't have been easier. Superb communication throughout, super quick delivery and brilliantly packed. Paddy is great to deal with and an absolute pleasure. Many thanks.

I've have always had a really strong ear which I guess is why I gravitated to fretless but I will still work out charts with my bass as reference the same way that Mohini did. Sometimes I will work the chords out on the first listen but I will hear the chord or note and know what it is through pitch and then go back and write it out after. I was just amazed at the other girl gushing over that technique when I do that all the time and just assumed thats what everybody did. I thought she was just trying to be dramatic and play up to the camera 🤣

You sir, are amazing, thank you so much

I don't understand why the other girl was so impressed with Mohini writing charts when working out a song. This is literally exactly what I do first time listening to a song. I have books and books of charts from bands I've played for, mostly original music where I've charted out the chords. I then work out the bass line based on the groove or what I'm hearing melodically. I thought this was the norm and everyone does it this way but there was nothing impressive or amazing to me what Mohini did in this video.

Wow, thank you so much, this is amazing and plenty to go by. Super excited to start listening.

That's amazing thank you, I had no idea it existed.

For some unknown reason, I have an itch to listen to some reggae and widen my understanding and appreciation of this genre. Not from a playing perspective but more of a listening appreciation. However, I know absolutely nothing about the groups etc. I do know a handful of Bob Marley track, mostly the well known ones and I really like them. I have heard of Aswad but only because they were in the charts in the 80's or 90's and sadly, I have heard of UB40 who I detest. So I guess I'm after the good shit to listen to. If Bob Marley is what Miles Davis is to Jazz, then who is John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Art Blakey, Charlie Mingus of the reggae world. Any recommendations greatly appreciated.

I play fretless and my setup is Bass > Tuner > Octave > Distortion > Chorus > Reverb 1 > Reverb 2 > Compressor > EQ/DI > Amp

Oh, I like him even more now after that video. Go Danny.

If you can say what the code is or at least what the first letter is, its then possible to work out the year. Also, a photo of the back of the headstock showing the tuners would be helpful. -
The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
Linus27 replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
So I have gone ahead and ordered the HB for her along with the Fender short scale gig bag which had good reviews. Just looking at a small combo for her. I was going to get the 20w HB bass combo at £70 but the reviews didn't seem too good. So I'll keep my eye out for something second hand. After that, I'll probably change the strings to a lighter gauge as well once I've looked at what's available. -
Headless/ fretless bass for less than £1k

I've heard of a few others doing the same and changing out the stock pickups which I believe are Bartolini's. -
The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
Linus27 replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
We've already tried my 34" scale basses and some in shops and her arms are not long enough to reach the frets by the headstock. She has the nickname T-Rex because of her short arms. We've had the same problem for years in karting, if we get the pedals right, her arms can't reach the steering wheel but if we get the steering wheel right, her knees are too bent and she's too close to the pedals. We have to use a series of seat packs to get it right. It also doesn't help her elbows bend inwards where as most people's just stop when you straighten your arms. -
The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
Linus27 replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
Hey everyone, My 17 year old daughter has decided that she wants to learn to play bass. This obviously excites me as my son already plays Jazz piano and so I am very happy she has chosen bass. She does however have short arms as we've discovered from 5 years of karting and needing a variety of seat inserts. So a short scale is on the cards. Before justifying my man maths and going head first into either a Japanese Fender Mustang or a JMJ Mustang, I'm considering a starter bass for her. My choices are, Squier Bronco Harley Benton Mustang Copy MarkBass Little Yellow Squier Classic Vibe Mustang Each one has differing price ranges so just asking for thoughts and opinions and any clear winners. Thanks in advance. -
Headless/ fretless bass for less than £1k
Linus27 replied to RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE's topic in Bass Guitars
Ibanez is probably your easy off the shelf option and comes in under a £1000. Its fretless but does have lines on the top of the board so technically a lined fretless. It also only comes as a 5 string option. Very good basses and I'd love one if it wasn't lined.
