God knows. If I was to compare my basses to cars I've driven it would be Shuker - Audi RS6 Spectors - Audi RS4 avant Pedulla Pentabuzz - Ferrari 360 Celinder P and J update - Audi S3 Pre EB Musicman Stingray - Lancia Delta Integrale Alembic Series 1 - Aston Martin DB5

I have to agree with the majority of touch typists here. I can do it and it doesn't help my playing one bit.

I would love to play for the James Taylor Quartet, Prince, Louis Benedetti or the Sunburst Band but suspect I'd only disappoint them. Have to make do with Kylie I guess.

[quote name='AttitudeCastle' post='1237803' date='May 20 2011, 08:55 AM']I think a "great" bass, is one that you connect with. Which is something where i think the price tag doesn't really come into it, though if you find some £200 Made in Korea bass which your [i]really[/i] dig but say some build quality or finishing quality issues show, or its just old and battered and needs to be retired after years of service, a "high end" version with similat to identical specs makes sense, (If that post makes sense!) But in the end the "greatness" is in the feel, not in the price IMHO[/quote] +1 Still prefer my 650 quid used spector for sound and feel to all the other basses.

[quote name='SteveK' post='1233001' date='May 16 2011, 01:25 PM']I think the op was trying making a point - I don't know what point as I don't frequent TB - I would guess that there have been a few [i]really[/i] dumb questions/polls of late.[/quote] The point I perceive being made is 'look at me'.

I like SS Steve, it doesn't matter to me if he's percieved as putting it on. I've got his first CD and yes its a little lack lustre in places which is disappointing. However thats the style he plays and he doesn't seem to me to be anything other than he is... ...EVEN if that risks appearing lack lustre. Besides which you can't blame him for surfing the wave of popularity while it lasts any more than Lady Gaga.

All the benefits of older instruments but none of the disadvantages?

Bump. Noone visiting soon?

nah, thats a bargain. Someone pull the trigger.

He's always over stretched in my experience. He probably wouldn't have it any other way

LOL I just need a strat body rescuing. It's been 2 years and he doesn't appear to be returning my emails. I'm just hoping some kind person out there might be willing to collect and package it up for me...all costs paid for. I'll organise a courier if its collectable during the day.

[quote name='Johnston' post='1231406' date='May 14 2011, 08:22 PM']You should have gotten the one where he flashes his arse. That would have the rest running to save their eyes [/quote] I confess I haven't followed him THAT closely...

He's built like a wrestler!

This dude says [i]"come on tough guy...if u hard enough".[/i]

I've got Gilmour playing fretless on Big Bottom with Spinal Tap on DVD at the Secret Policemen's Ball

John said he'd agreed an endorsement so perhaps it was a done deal?

DUDE YOU HAVE ONE OF THE LEGENDARY JACO FRETLESSES!!!

If so, and you'd be willing to do me a favour, could you please drop me a PM?
