Hi,

I use the old Boss BF-2B
while it does not have a level control I find it is no +/- in volume between off and on
I do think it works 'better' on a 2 pick-up bass however

they are the 'old brown' ones.

Get a Grendel!
marvelous bass, amazing character, fascinating indeed

Equus - Pony Jones

put a flanger behind it, the BB becomes a comfy ride
IMO the distortion is not 'wide' enough...it's either full on or bugger all
it needs more variance or subtlety

Afghan Whigs
I've gone crazy, Magazine is all class

[quote name='maxrossell' post='976668' date='Oct 4 2010, 07:31 PM']Exactly. Hence the complete crock of sh*t that is signature models. You can count on one hand the musos who use their signature models on their own records, even if they're playing the tracks themselves.

It just makes me f*cking laugh every time I see someone walk out of a store with a signature model. Yeah, these guys are using studios where they can hire vintage Gibsons and Fenders, do you [i]really[/i] think they're going to cut the entire record on a $300 Washburn?[/quote]



hey if it's good enough for Kip Winger , it's good enough for me
hey, what thread is this.

I really like the obvious Carol Kaye influence.
mark my words, this guy will play on a hit record before the year is out.

shot mate.
we had wondered if it was a Pedulla
mystery solved and it's been a question since they toured here in 1990 I think
crikey.

not sure if they are easy to find but I managed to get a MTD Grendel
bang for buck ratio is very high

I don't have a octave pedal on my board but I have the wah first.
I seldom use wah with dirt but if I do I prefer it wah first
not entirely sure why this is so however.

The The were magic
Infected may be the best slice of Thatcher era commentary on England
an interesting cat was Mr Johnson

and for the second time on this site I ask;
do anyone know what sort of Bass James Eller played on the Mind Bomb tour?
that's the gigs with Johnny Marr
thanks

that Boss PQ-3B
they are all right
handy thing for gigs

foal endorses that DiBartolo book too
reading for days in there

also the Jazz Theory Book by Mark Levine
play some keys good for your ears

today's mob is

1. Paul Chambers he's sort of my favorite but I don't really know how to explain why. I especially like his blues playing , paradoxically it makes me happy to hear it.

2. Jerry Jemmott electric blues grooves with B.B.King remain a masterclass. the drummer on those records was a MF'er too which always helps.

3. James Jamerson there is always something each time you listen you know. he's like the library, a knowledge resource.

4. Charles Mingus I not know that much of his stuff but I get 'Roots and Blues' and I'm more flabbergasted than the jive ass slippers of that fishmongers mother in law

5. Prince he write some great songs that need great bass. so I give thanks.

yes it did get an all star review in US Bass Player Magazine
less so the promo campaign
bad old sexist tosh if ever I see it, terrible

I always wanted to A/B that 2-Tek
CK might have had one in his sonic hammer, I can't remember, Warwick Flashback might have had therm too
Chuck Rainey put one in his '57 Precision

crikey.

easily played 3-400 gigs on my '71 Jazz
it's a good gigging bass if the weather aint too hot.

just want to say Dunn is bluddy magic player
great guy to learn stuff of too, he's on some of the best records full stop
some genius from here linked to a site with heaps of transcriptions, it's awesome thanks.

always felt Dunn missed the first chorus
have a listen!

well if you see a Grendel over your way foal says HAVE A GO
bang for bucks this Bass wins.

I think Cambers contribution to the impact of Miles is greater but I'd put Marcus at 2nd. I really dig his contribution and would argue some of Miles most beautiful work is directly in response to how Miller constructed a 'platform' for him to work on.

parts of Amandla and Siesta rival other flagship albums of the various styles of Miles.

I also say unequivocally that Marcus can play a melody. This places him in a very select few of bass players.

yes a top record for sure
lots of good things for bass players too.

a Sadowsky outboard with a Fender Jazz is all good.
this pre-amp was probably designed for the Jazz Bass.

it's good my Chrome strung Fretless Jazz too.

Also and hopefully this makes sense, the Sadowsky don't do too much but what it does is high quality. it's warm and full never hi-fi and brittle. I've had on for 13 years now (recently got the pedal/DI version) essential kit for me.

Bartolini 9J apparently have a low output.
I quite like them and use in conjunct with a Sadowsky out-board preamp
quite versatile on gigging duties.

my MTD also has Barts but with a Bart pre-amp. this is very good but I do not know what type of pick ups they are.
