  1. Di Marzio P bass pickups? The Yamaha Billy Sheehan models growl like a rottweiler by all accounts.
  2. Because sound is so subjective its hard to comprehend what another person considers to be an "[i]angry[/i]" sounding instrument. My own assessment of "[i]angry[/i]" would necessitate the kind of "grit" that a Sansamp DI or similar type of pedal would add as opposed to the actual instrument...although I would think theat a P bass is a good starting point. I personally use the Hartke bass attack for this type of thing when required...it makes my basses angry anyway...
  3. A big fan here, have been since the early 80's when i stumbled across [i]Masques & Livestock. [/i]Percy is an Incredibly talented and innovative unique voice on the bass.
  4. [quote name='WAYNESWORLD' timestamp='1452085552' post='2946202'] Bass now on hold pending Cheers [/quote] Very sad, yet very relieved...was contemplating the financially illogical.
  5. At this price I don't expect it to last the evening. Great deal!
  6. I get on very nicely with Ibanez SR's and this looks fantastic. Well done Ibanez - I expect this to arrive at an extremely reasonable price tag
  7. You usually don't know what you have until you lose it.
  8. Great bass...and cool story. Sweet!
  9. There aren't many Fenders that cream my cockles - this is one of the few. Gorgeous.
  10. Ah, the humble Precision....arguably the Ford Mondeo of the bass world. Designed with simplicity, affordability and effectiveness in mind as opposed to any specific allusions to sonic or aesthetic properties...but in fairness Leo hit the mark. I play a Warwick Corvette & Ibanez SR 1205 - both of which, from my perspective being superbly well designed and lacking any annoying flaws.
  11. This bass is precisely what I am looking for....at precisely the wrong time. I just wish someone else would buy it and end my pain. BUMP
  12. Very sad news indeed....legend
  13. Warwick corvette standard should meet your criteria well!
  14. I hope he buys it because i don't need it, I cant afford it and I have no room for it....but....
  15. Words fail me. It literally is a piece of art. GLWTS
  16. [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1450343865' post='2931767'] It's not just Mark King fans or even just BCers, it's just people in general... The vast majority are way too sensitive about everyone agreeing with them... almost like they need others to confirm their views to verify them somehow. Listen to what you want, like whoever you like and play whatever gear you think sounds best... sod everyone else. [/quote] Word! This is wisdom.
  17. [quote name='neilp' timestamp='1449962688' post='2928479'] I acknowledge the technical skill needed to play this kind of thing, I just don't understand why, after putting all those years of work into your technique, you'd use it to play that? Technique is a means, not an end. [/quote] I love curries, my favourite food...you cannot beat a good curry is what I always say. My best friend on the other hand hates Indian food and prefers good old fish n chips. He cannot understand why Indian chef's waste their undoubted ability & craft to waste their time blending all of of those wonderful spices and ingredients into a food source as objectionable as curry. I also really enjoy Weather Report & Jaco (preferably as a collective) - my friend prefers AC/DC. I'm right, he's right....
  18. Thread back from the dead! Love the Ozrics....the riff that permeates from around 4:22 of "Epiphlioy" until the end is sublime. https://youtu.be/Jeuomc_rqu8
  19. Personally my opinion is that Jaco would have been delighted with the thought that people were still discussing him almost 30 years after his death. Love me....hate me....just [i]don't forget me.[/i]
  20. A German made Warwick for £200?? Bashes or not this has to be a bargain.
  21. As much as I love Rush I consider it a relief to be honest....their recent output turned me off. Knowing when its time to call it a day is all about timing - pardon the pun.
  22. [quote name='AinsleyWalker' timestamp='1449496563' post='2923995'] Of course all music is totally subjective but what I've heard of Jaco Pastorius has been a total let down [/quote] Dear oh deary me. That is all.
  23. Innovator!
  24. Breathtaking woodworking! Outstanding bass...congrats.
