no.... but every jazz player should take every opportunity they get to show off their beast (beast meaning bass, not something else...)

i shall call a spade a spade- that isnt laminate, that is playwood. plywood is made of veneers layered on top of each other at 90 degrees, for strength mostly. that will be a solid body, but is it not a little heavy? I was a joiner for a few years, when i hear things like this, i just feel the need to point out that it could easily be someone making a precision from plywood. mmmmmhhh, cost-effectiveness. although, it is something that has crossed my mind before. also making a bass out of cardboard.

im in the process of creating a nice fender jazz out of bits and bobs. i aqquired a fretless jazz bass through here last week. and it really is a lovely player, but i just dont think fretless is for me (but at least i tried it!). Anyway, the body is supposidly a fender body, although the seller admits not knowing for sure if its a fender body. its lake placid blue with a tort pickguard. a really lovely looking body. i am buying a squier maple neck+ maple fretboard with black block inlays to stick onto it, instead of the the fretless. after that, im thinking high mass bridge (babicz) and a pre-amp? although not set in stone about the preamp. It already has a set of (64?) RI fender jazz pickups installed in it. Just wondering if you guys have any interesting jazz basses about? or any plans for something interesting? i will post a pic of mine when it has the new neck on

i found this cider recently called kingstone press. it comes in 660ml bottles, and its 5.3% and you can get 4 bottles for £5.50! and it doesnt taste like crap, its actually nice! anyway, could we organise a meet somewhere, then we could head to the pub afterwards? i dont see many people on here from ireland.

yo lads, we should have a bass meet up. in a pub. a real CHEAP pub. (yeah.... im from ballymena )

been playing about 18 months, and in that time, i have gone through a few ol' things. stagg jazz bass copy (brother still has it, feck knows how i learned how to play on that neck!) OLP stingray HH 3 band eq. (sold this around march) 11 year old epiphone thunderbird, in bad nick! (didnt have this very long) OLP stingray standard passive 4 string, orange (recently traded) OLP stingray standard passive 4 string, tobacco burst (trying to sell) OLP stingray HH 3 band eq (re-aqquired this month, same one i sold in march) Hohner fretless jazz bass (only had it 2 days) so thats averaging about 1 bass every 4 months or something ridiculous! hopefully i can hang on to these couple for a while (apart from the tobacco burst OLP, i need recording equipment)

ok, yeah i thought i was kinda right in saying i needed both, i just needed it clarified why its right. maybe i can go now and make controller keyboard which has an inbuilt soundcard? make a mint at it too. i have been told i should use an exteranl soundcard for my laptop, which is a macbook pro (so new, it hasnt even arrived yet).

hi. im currently trying to learn the fine craft of recording. i have no equipment as of yet, but what i was thinking was using a shure sm57 and shoving it in front of my speaker cab, then running that to (and bare with me, im not sure i entirely understand this yet) a midi controller keyboard? then through an exteranl soundcard? all onto logic pro 9. ok, entirely unsure of that last line. i basically want to be able to record bass/guitar parts, and create melodies, ad synthy parts, and drums using software, and a keyboard, which i believe requires a midi controller keyboard. can i use the keyboard and plug it directly into the computer? also- could i record my bass/guitar using the controller keyboard? or should i run that through an exteranl soundcard? any help is appreciated. Thanks.

what? a flinder jizz boss? what a ridiculous thing. i give it a year maximum, and they will have gone under.
