My best to play bass doesn't sound the best My best sounding one doesn't play the best etc I've done gigs with Squier basses ,and with big money stuff When you get band compliments and you're using Gibson les pauls and Diezel and Soldano ,Sadowsky and Ampeg and a top end pa and cables ,its not a co incidence

i use a local football forum with a 14000 plus active members and its a big concern for the mods on there and all its users Hope a solution is found half the forum is any topic you wish from favourite sandwich to depression and suicide and its been a lifeline for a lot of local folk i get you need Policing of groups but this is far too clumsy

incredible bass line . Haven't a clue what he's doing . Saw them last night

Thundercat last night He's clearly a very talented bloke but its a mad old combo of out there jazz madness meets super smooth dreamy soul/rnb type thing What is for sure it you get world class playing from drums and keys and bass and it sounded superb Best live bass mix i've heard and i've seen Geddy,claypool,levin .karn etc

Cheap basses are way better than when I started in 1979 Pre Squier etc Only catalogue kay basses etc If you got the right bass in the 80s it's value has risen but it's not across the board . If I was skint I'd happily buy a £250 bass .

Sad news indeed He was a big part of Kates work once she started to find independence in her music making Some great work on The Dreaming onwards and as much as I loved the big name cameo bass guests he did what was left brilliantly

Agree , there's a point you make some effort for an interested buyer . I'd be reluctant to pull a vintage bass apart for a maybe buyer . They guy sounds like he knows enough to value the bass but not keen on taking it apart . Many aren't . He's encouraged a physical try out so sounds genuine.

Dirty sound Magnet Amazing rock,prog,improv,space, power trio from Switzerland £13 a ticket, took a chance, never heard of them Wow . S..T 🔥 HOT Check YouTube

Took to lenses straight away in the 80s I'm that age now where lenses are no good close up so gigs fine apart from setting up leads and pedals etc in the dark . I wear glasses 70% of the time now as they are varifocal

I bottled out when Derek Forbes ex Simple Minds was selling his Wal on ebay .It went for £4500,about 7-8 years ago i should have gambled

Do we think the Wal price explosion has settled now ? bassbros and andys have stuff around 8k You have to be buying at that price for investment i'd say ,but will it rise ?

manic but you have to take time to connect to people 😃

You get baseball caps with pics of fish on just thought i'd mention 😄

i think thats a great offer ,i sold a mid90s cij 62 P private for £495 about 4 years ago ,same as i bought if for . If they sell for £800 the vat is in there and its complicated on used items ,perhaps £100 of the sale is vat ?

I'd say the majority of private sales are overpriced with a story to match it gets a bit tiring "anyone looking will know how good these are " "rare" " sought after " . etc etc If someone really wants the bass you may get that high price but if i'm selling,i want it gone at a fair price

A name from the days of listening while reading sleeve notes i started playing in 79,with a pick ,strangling a little amp to punk songs i can remember hearing Breathing and not having a clue what i was actually listening to .A great steep learning curve followed Great great player

Sadowsky metro express jazz ? i know they had buzz issues early I have a Japanese metro ,its heavy and sounds incredible and silent but is more money

Thanks all 👍

If they are around the same position i'd rarely make contact with them unless i do my fancy Sting moves with my thumb

Hello all Sorry if this has been covered before I've got myself a lovely 60s hydrid p bass The fretboard is very dark rosewood and the fret markers are a very faded white,half over the rosewood half on the neck i'm more of a Jazz bass player and struggling a bit with seeing where i am .More so on dark stages Any ideas for markers that doesnt involve touching the woods etc ? dont mind stickers etc to a point
