Absolutely agree. One of the great things of being a bassist is discovering great bass in all types of music. I use it as good practice for grooving. As much of this music is 'atonal' you can basically play any notes and concentrate on locking into the rythmn and grooving. I'd love a few more links guys to other stuff I've probably not stumbled across yet.

Last night - Blackpool Empress Ballroom. Brand New Heavies, Andrew Levy absolutely amazing. Effortless, funky, busy but in the pocket. The whole band were great actually - crystal clear sound. Super tight. Great bass sound, played a Fender Jazz for most of the night, couple of songs on a 4 string thumb and a couple on a sparkly 5 string Warwick SS1. The Warwicks were brilliant - without a doubt the best tone I've ever heard - Not a P bass in sight! Andrew was playing through a TC Electronics rig. We were right at the front, high fived most of the band and got a full on handshake with Andrew Levy! Couple of pics:

[quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1386884961' post='2306110'] I played the one in BassGear last week. These are [i]awesome[/i] basses. The tone is just....wow, and the finish is great as it looks like you can touch the grain, but the bass is actually smooth to the touch. [/quote]Crikey - £1295 at Bass Gear ("unused / mint but preowned ") - convincing myself to keep it now. Mrs Bagsieblue is pushing me to sell a bass but may need a hey ho from me as well??

Slightly surprised at some of the "hard rock" suggestions. Are we thinking hard rock = soft metal??

Winterfire's 1st gig Fri 13th Dec, Bury, Melodic Metal.

Good luck mate - had I not been on my Christmas do you could have coloured me interested. -
I've had one and played a few others. Generally, the are OK, nothing more nothing less. For the money there are better, undervalued basses that do not sport the premium of the Fender / Squier name. I had a Westfield P that was much better, also the Vintage P Basses, especially the Tony Butler signature one.

[quote name='Rasta' timestamp='1386884203' post='2306085'] Serial is C-046359-98 ...could this mean its a 98 after all ? Stick yours up Bagsie, i'm in no rush to part with this [/quote] Yep C = March xxxxxxxx 98 = 1998. No point us competing against each other mate. I'm happy to let you have a run at it. I'm under pressure from my gaffer (Mrs Bagsieblue) to sell a bass.....so while [b][i]I'm[/i][/b] in no great rush, Mrs Bagsieblue is....

some years ago I gave one of my ..erm...erm 'disciples' some advice that they were too still and shoe gazing on stage. Lent him a wireless transmitter to help free him up a bit. Very next gig I was shocked, stunned and amazed to see him spinning like a b'std.....nearly screwed himself into the floor. Next advice was telling him he was moving around too much!!!

Never been sure where Rock / Heavy Rock / Metal......and onwards starts and ends. To me Heavy Rock is still 'danceable', metal becomes 'moshable' For me got to be Appetite For Destruction, Guns n Roses. Not a bad track on it.

[quote name='Nibody' timestamp='1386882721' post='2306043'] It is light, and we're not cash flow a little rickety it wouldn't be going anywhere. Did the FSR end up staying? [/quote] Funny you should ask - I've just had contact today with a guy from Liverpool from my Preloved ad from months ago........ Probably will be going at the weekend but I've put one last bump on it for the BC crowd, as I'd prefer it to stay in the BC party. Although got a nagging feeling I don't really want to sell it.........

OK - Looks like this is going to Liverpool via Preloved over the weekend. So......one last Basschat bump for a nice bass. I know it can take a nice bass to attract a nice bass so bumping for possibly a nice Warwick trade? - SS1 etc? Or.....should I call off the dogs and keep it??? Decisions, decisions.......

[quote name='gareth' timestamp='1386882038' post='2306022'] bargain [/quote] Yes it is. The trade value on this in our deal was much more than £300 - someone snap his hand off will you? I've tried to look at my old thread to see if I have any more pictures of the headstock but I don't. Rest assured this is a genuine Fender neck, I got this off an old fella in Burnley who was packing up playing due to arthritis. - I seem to remember Mr Nibody took the neck off and put some pics up but I can't seem to find the thread. Pics showed the pencil markings on the neck as I recall. Great bass, does the P bass sound with aplomb and very lightweight for a Japanese P as I remember. Surely this won't last the night.

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1386879749' post='2305965'] You're all wrong. It's six big muffs, half an apple and a funky stick, played through an old boot. [/quote] Then that night the Hungry Caterpillar had a stomach ache!
