[quote name='No lust in Jazz' timestamp='1454615540' post='2971419'] Ok When? - I ask, as over the years I've been a fan of JB's playing (well, before he found a chorus pedal) and I can't recall this - what I've read is that a five isn't his instrument and that he prefers passive pickups - but I'd like your source as its an interview that I'd be interested in reading or watching. [/quote] Bass guitar magazine, issue 38 - Sept/Oct 2008 (it's in my hand as I type this) Empirical evidence my'lord!

[quote name='No lust in Jazz' timestamp='1454610075' post='2971345'] When did he say this? [/quote] He has actually said it consistently in most of his interviews to anyone who would listen. He also has a severe downer on active basses. Superb player...outspoken though! ....oh, and that is a beautiful bass btw :-)

I love roundwounds, I love the feel, I love the look and I love the noise they make. Roundwounds are rightwounds. I love roundwounds.

Good stuff - but an awkward name in this climate...

Entwistle shades it for me because of THAT sound he generated from the Alembic destroyer and the physicality of his finger style. Despite strongly disliking pick playing on the bass Squire had an almost equally immense sound on the "Close to the edge" recording...phenomenal. He really was a monster. Both bands had a significant influence on my formative years - however I prefer Yes's music to the Who's.

Beautiful bass, I cant wait to see the results.

Not sure about the washers...but I love the beer. Delicious!

Totally agree, I think Jess's voice is superb. Fantastic vibrato and control.

Utterly and completely subjective topic....one mans meat is another mans poison

The Ibanez SR premium range are excellent, fully meet your criteria and are within your price range.

Very, very nice instruments. Impressive.

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1453552640' post='2960466'] Is that a convoluted way of saying you don't know...? :/ [/quote] No, it's a convoluted way of saying that I think I do not not know now, no?

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1453525782' post='2960309'] Don't understand the logic behind using the Cutlass name when it already has a legendary reputation. Part of me is wondering whether its a fairly cynical attempt to take advantage of existing search engine rankings. [/quote] Well, objectively, Musicman is after all a business venture which operates on the basis of selling large amounts of their product and generating as much profit as possible. Because we are all emotionally invested into our instruments and preferred brand it is easy to lose sight of this.

Amazing build!

I really like them.

This unfortunate indeed, but merely adds further proof (if needed) that drummers are completely crazy. Price a repair by a decent luthier and then inform said crazy drummer that you can indeed have it coloured in ...and hand him the bill. Simple. Any refusal should result in your foot mysteriously ending up through his bass drum skin.

Congratulations, a great achievement, but a word to the wise...do not expect much support or praise as this site is occupied by rampant GAS addicts!

A wonderful era for bass, Mick Karn however was really special

Geddy Lee must surely have been responsible for the sale of [b]very [/b]large quantities of his signature model world wide.

I absolutely adore recycling projects....these basses are going to be fantastic!
