[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1368603899' post='2078973'] i get the feeling that different people want different things from the bass. [/quote] can you please explain what you want to say with this, andrew?

as a non native speaker I understand personality in this context as "own voice" since I am a personality playing an instrument. for me finding the own voice on an instrument is the highest goal to reach, and the best compliment I'd like to receive is the one about the original unique voice about me playing on an instrument. I'm on the hunt for this since 30 years and finally start to get closer.

I'd be careful with a fender, there is something in the laquer that seems to change the dna..... but seriously I 'd also recommend a mustang or the bronco. as an alternative, how about a kala-u-bass?

Bruce bought a hipshot extender from me. smooth and fast transaction, great communication, fast payment. absolute gent to deal with. you next.

I don't have any heroes.

my gp lightstone twister (2-channel tube preamp - silver box at the bottom of the bass) it is essential in my setup and the 1st ever made.

[quote name='BigBeatNut' timestamp='1367767058' post='2069201'] Sounds really interesting ... Would like to hear the end result, or even rough mixes or rehearsal 'tapes'. [/quote] will do, but we are just starting. working on the 1st 2 originals each in their own studios right now sharing files. it will take at least 4 months until we will be stage ready I guess.

after my jazz trio has split up last week, I spent the whole day with finding/programming sounds on the different boards/pedals and figuring out how to use bass (and bass synth), guitar and vox to work with the looper for my next bandproject where we will be 2 guitarists/bassplayers sharing jobs and a drummer, playing some urban grooverock. man, still a long way to go!

hmm, dificult to answer, but I was told I have some. as Nigel I love to be on stage. there is almost no place I feel more home than a stage and the last time I had stagefright I can't even remember. but maybe judge yourself from the last available video of me playing bass in one of my ex-bands: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuOizlfxjyg[/media]

and another great one from shep again. thanks man!

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1367281443' post='2063753'] For me it's a compulsion, I don't have a choice. But there is also the vanity [/quote] I'm with Nigel. I don't know where it comes from, but if I don't play music -best in front of an audience- I get sick after a while... on the other hand I also get sick because of most musos, too... so it must be a disease then.

I like him and this seems to be one of his Carvin signature basses. edit: or his gibson bunny brunel signature.

great work guys! a lot of great entries!

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1340280685' post='1702165'] ... All cables will last if you look after them. Most people don't look after them which is why they have to be replaced so often. [/quote] this. I still have some Klotz cables from the mid 80's and a Horizon from the late 80's that are reserve now and work perfectly.

don't know if it is good, but this looks like what you want: [url="http://www.abelcine.com/store/AJA-Ki-Pro-Mini-Ultra-Portable-Digital-CF-Recorder/#tabs"]http://www.abelcine....-Recorder/#tabs[/url]

welcome yvette50! unfortunately there is nothing like "the best equipment to get". there is good or not so good gear, expensive or cheap gear, heavy and lightweight gear, but all depends on what your purpose is and what your ear tells you. enjoy the board.

[quote name='sblueplanet' timestamp='1366842290' post='2058099'] Ive never tried one. Wonder if they made[b] lefties[/b]. Found a photo of Jaco playing a Guild Pilot fretless but couldnt upload it. [/quote] they did but they are very rare.

it is always about the context....

congrats and good luck! I'm still working on something like this, but just now my jazz trio split up.

of the 5 basses I own only 1 is original: my eko fretless acoustic bass. 2 are custom made, one has new pickups and the starfire was modded loooooong before I got it.

always. I'm cool, so they do no harm.

these guys have written some of my all time favourites. all three are great gifted musicians. I love copeland, like a lot of stuff sting did on his own, but somehow summers style is not my cup of tea + I never heard him do a solo that I liked.

hallo avus!
