    Dead Goon by Mr Bungle. It took me 25 years to get the verse bassline sorted!

    Just bought a pedal from Jose. Top bloke! He gave me a few pointers on how great the pedal is and how it works best. Smooth and easy transaction. Cheers Jose!

    Things always come up at the wrong time don't they?!

    Hello! Unleash your inner Jaco with this excellent USA Fender Jazz bass neck. It's a 2012 one and in great condition. Minimal fretboard marks, the nut is nice and low for those open strings to mwah out! USA tuners included. I'm looking to sell to fund a new amp head. Might trade if the right offer is there, especially for an Ampeg PF500/800. I'm in Wakefield West Yorkshire near J40 of the M1. I could post if needed. Thanks for looking Julian

    Hi! According to the Fender website its 1.625" or 41.3mm. Not quite Jazz Bass width but definitely narrower than the American Standard Precision I used to have. It's a great neck.

    Hello! I'm going back to Jazz basses so would like to move this on for extra funds. It's a beauty, upgraded with a Seymour Duncan SPB1 and a KiOgon wiring kit. Excellent condition, sounds like a Precision bass should! I am in Ossett, Wakefield, West Yorkshire about 5 minutes from J40 of the M1. I would prefer cash on collection please. Thanks for looking Julian

    Hello everyone! Here is my Harley Benton Jazz Bass kit build from Thomann. I got it at Christmas and have never found the time to put it together until a couple of days ago. It took me about an hour and a half get it sorted, apart from some sheilding paint in the pickup/control cavity done earlier this week. It's light, a touch over 6lbs. Nice and easy on the back! The neck fits like a glove in the pocket and I really like the feel of the neck. It's held it's tune really well over the last few days. The pick guard holes are a bit off, this means I haven't been able to put all the screws in. The pickups sound nice, the circuit is solderless so was a piece of cake to assemble. I haven't tried it out at full volume yet in a band situation, but first impressions through my Hiwatt practice amp are that it is astonishly good value for money. The Thomann site today lists it at £76. The headstock needs shaping, I will probably put a KiOgon wiring kit in and some different pickups. Great fun so far! I'll try post some sound clips later.

    I'm on my way, train from Wakefield to Kings Cross is on time, I was a bit worried when I saw the fresh snow this morning. Looking forward to it!

    Soundgarden would have been a good gig. Would love to have played some of the Badmotorfinger songs live.

    Jaco had it all. He had so much grove and soul. The improvisational stuff sounds like a bassist playing trumpet bebop. Good, but not for everyone. Without Jaco....

    Not the band you are in now. What I mean is, the band that come to mind when when you think of who had the greatest impact on you. You feel like they are yours and untouchable, even though they may be flawed in their output or as human beings. For me it's Nirvana. Blue will understand what I mean when I say it's because I was there at the time it all happened. I've loved bands more since, but they will always be the ones that had the biggest impact. Yours?

    Agreed, from beginning to end.

    The room is a big variable in my experience. I always sound like me when I play, slight variations depending on the gear maybe. The best live sound I ever had was at The Duchess (RIP) in Leeds, 1996 supporting a band called Sensefield as in recall. I had a Fender Precision Lyte (everything on full) through a Trace Elliott 2x10 with a 1x15 cab. No effects. On stage I knew that the planets had aligned with the sound. Then even the sound engineer said the bass sound was immense, imagine that! That's the one and only time in my years of gigging that the bass sound has ever been mentioned. I've played tiny pubs to the Hammersmith Apollo since then with countless different set ups and never got close to that sound. The OP is spot on that the parameters are wide. It's been fun though trying to get near that sound again though.

    He was at the London Bass Guitar Show in 2016, quite tall as I remember. I use YouTube to find things I am interested in. The recommended videos are often really useful. I'm not forced to watch anything, I type in or click on what I want to watch.

    Pretty much every second of this album. This too

    More great feedback here! P bass kit from John this time, 100% top quality gear and service as always! Cheers John. I'm sure I'll be back again.

    I love this. This too.

    I don't mind his videos, he looks like he is enjoying himself. A lot of what he does isn't really my cup of tea. It's like John Virgo doing trick shots in the intervals at the snooker (yes I live in 1988) or footballers doing the crossbar challenge and keepyuppy tricks, fun and not to be taken too seriously. Just my take on it.
