Back in 1982 when I was saving up for my first Fender bass I dismissed mustangs as 'not a proper fender' and was only interested in getting a precision. It wasn't until about 25 years later that I realised I much prefer mustangs.

I wasn't sure whether I preferred a white or sunburst vintage pro thunderbird, so I have both. If I don't look I have no way of knowing which one I'm playing as apart from the colour they are identical including the strings and setup. I also have a couple of mustangs, an off-white CIJ and a blue JMJ which sound fairly similar but each feels totally different to the other.

No, apart from the Fender mustangs, a couple of epiphone vintage pro thunderbirds, a Guild starfire, a hohner B2A, a danelectro longhorn, and a few others that I can't see from where I'm sitting.

Nice example of the 'plywood coverup' style of sunburst

I also owned a banjo, however it sold on Reverb over the weekend and was delivered to its new owner this morning. Blummin’ loud things banjos; they’re great for annoying the missus so much that she’s relieved when I put it down and play a bass instead.

I own not only guitars which I play, but also a few ukuleles.

St Winifred's school choir?

If she likes a classic fender shape, but scaled down, the squier mini precision bass looks pretty good for around £140 new, or the harley benton equivalent for quite a bit less.

That one's easy: when gay

With the greatest respect, I have to point out that you have really confessed to not knowing that practice and rehearsal are two different things. You are actually doing it right and those who use rehearsal as time to practice are doing it wrong.

I have no connection to this study. I received the link from someone and have just completed it. I thought that some people here on basschat might be interested in taking part - it takes around half an hour. You will need to use a computer rather than a phone or tablet, along with headphones. For payment you will need your account's IBAN number. https://musicandhearingaids.org/2022/02/24/musical-scene-analysis-study/ *** Participate in a new study on musical scene analysis *** The Hearing Aids for Music project highlighted that people with hearing loss often experience difficulties identifying instruments and hearing melodies when listening to music. Those with greater levels of hearing loss tend to experience greater difficulties. A new study led by the University of Oldenburg, in collaboration with the University of Leeds, is investigating the ability of people with hearing loss to hear out a melody or instrument from a musical mixture. Participants will engage in listening experiments which will help researchers to establish under what conditions they are more likely to be able to do this. Results will inform current understanding of the effects of hearing loss on music perception and enable further development of existing hearing aids for listening to music. What will be required of me if I take part? If you would like to take part, you will be asked to engage in a listening experiment which has three parts. First, in a pre-test, you will engage in short trials to test whether you can detect a tone in noise. Second, you will decide whether a single target instrument, which was played to you in advance, is part of a subsequently presented instrument mixture or not. The mixture is manipulated in various ways (for example, the number of instruments is varied, or the loudness of the target instrument compared with the other instruments is changed). Third, you will be asked to complete a survey on previous musical experience, level of hearing loss and demographic data (age, gender, education). The whole experimental session will last approx. 30 minutes and you will be paid for your time at a rate of 12 EUROS/£10 per hour. To take part, you need be in a quiet environment, ideally wearing headphones without your hearing aids, but if you need to use your hearing aids (e.g. direct streaming) we ask that you tell us at the end of the survey what set-up you were using. You can read information about the study and access the listening experiment here. You will be provided with further information about what the experiment will entail and what we will do with your data in the introductory pages, enabling you to give informed consent. If you have any questions about the study, please contact Robin Hake ([email protected]) or Alinka Greasley ([email protected]) The project has received ethical clearance from the University of Oldenburg and the University of Leeds (Ref No. FAHC 21-030)

Hot Pink is definitely the best colour for these, and thats reflected in it being double the price of a candy apple red one.

moog = mogue (rhymes with vogue) hotone = hot tone joyo = joe yo! suhr = sir mooer = moore (as in patrick moore) levys = lev ees takamine = takka meenay zemaitis = zem ai tis godin = go dane

I have the flamed maple one. I use status hotwire medium scale flats on it. I believe most have a rosewood fingerboard and bridge saddles, but some like mine have ebony which was a bonus.

Unburdon yourself here with your bass confessions I had owned my first Fender for about twenty years before I was brave enough to adjust the truss rod.

I have several Comfort strapps which are hands down the most comfy of all the straps I have owned or tried https://thebassgallery.com/collections/straps/products/comfort-strapp-pro-bass

It seems a lot of effort went into customising a bland sub-£100 bass to make it really dumb and ugly looking, and less convenient to use. Any length saved at the headstock end has more than been compensated for by the added bulk at the butt end. Might have nominal value as Firewood.

There is photographic evidence that the moon landings were faked:

My original 1996 Hohner B2A has a red Led which lights up when the active circuit is engaged. Yes it was cool in the 80s. Not so much in 2022

Don't kill anyone who doesn't deserve to be killed.
