Pop an Allen key or screwdriver into one of the facing holes and turn: right-tight (less relief), left-loose (more relief). Just like the rod systems featured on Musicman and a few other brands.
-
Me too. One of my least favourite basses ever. Immense preamp and pickups tho!
-
I'm genuinely surprised about this. Honestly, I've played gigs forever and nobody's ever cared a jot about my gear. Maybe it's because of my playing 😂

For me it's akin fixing stickers on your car ... Just no! Then again, horses for courses, live and let live and all that. I read once that Gail Ann Dorsey always secretes a picture of Marilyn Monroe underneath her scratchplates - now that does appeal to me.

I had a Wal and an Overwater at one point, both in the region of 11lbs. That was too much for me and they got flipped.
-
I love Karn and Pastorius and see no need to pitch one against the other. It's like arguing over What's the best curry down the local tandoori.

Thanks, I'll try them out 😃

How's the tension?

Which bass do you want, even though you shouldn't?
White Cloud replied to BassAgent's topic in Bass Guitars
Completely impractical for anything I've done, like, ever. Nonetheless, I recall starting out in the early days and hanging around the local library (I was wild back when): there was this picture in a book of some hippy playing one of these and, y'know ... Bass porn to an impressionable young lad -

The Continuing Story of Problem Bandmates.
White Cloud replied to Chienmortbb's topic in General Discussion
People = problems. Every band in the history of ever has featured underlying tensions. I'm a great believer in a bit of give and take, but it has to be both. -

You know, it always comes back to this: one way or another people are a problem. A real quandary, I'm generally hopeless with this stuff but 100% agree ... no matter what, kindness is paramount.
-
What can I say? I own a German built Will Lee Metroline and it's by far the best jazz bass I've ever owned (and I've owned many over 40+ years). Every aspect is ridiculously good.
-
I think a spare is good, professional practice to ensure 'the show must go on' and extenuate circumstances. If stinky poo can happen, then it probably will at some point. Oh, and in my experience literally nobody cares what bass you play.
-
That very bass was for sale at Bass Direct a year or two ago. Reasonable price too if I recall.
-
And the best bass sound I've ever had is..... (drum roll)
White Cloud replied to la bam's topic in General Discussion
I've been thinking about this lately. 1986 Musicman Stingray straight into the desk at CAVA studio, Glasgow. I haven't owned a Ray since and often wonder why. Nothing but great memories of that axe. Maybe it's time. -
