  2. I must admit it does feel a bit agricultural 🤣
  3. Actually that’s another topic altogether - bass manufacturer logos...
  4. I’ve always liked the Lakland rosewood continuation bit - not sure what else to call it - it looks like the bass is wearing a polo neck. Not a fan of the body shapes but the H/S and logo are cool
  5. Thanks @horrorshowbass yeah the neck on the G&L feels great, I think the nut is 42mm so it feels like a P but the smaller body makes it feel a bit more modern I guess. The neck has gone a lovely caramel colour. Ibanez make some lovely basses.. not surprised you’ve looked to them for ‘the one’ aka ‘your sound’ - it’s great to find that first then start collecting other ‘famous’ sounds to have in the tool box! Cheers
  6. Pinning posts is the best way to make sure nobody sees the thread. I only like pinning things like rules so they can be referred to easily. I’d also rather not pin something about a scammer because at first glance it could look like he has something to do with the site and I don’t particularly want to see his name every time I open the forum. No, much better to just keep the thread normal 👍🏼
  7. I must confess I haven't started it yet, but it's in the queue!!
  8. Just hidden a bunch more posts. If we can’t keep the updates clean and above reproach then I’ll lock the thread. Thanks to the mods who have been helping too.
  9. The main difference is the pickup location. The 70s has a wider spacing, with the rear pickup closer to the bridge. That gives quite a different sound to the 60s spacing.
  10. Nothing to do with that at all - I just do not want to pin any advice which I do not fully understand or endorse, just like I don’t advise people on fees for importing items from non EU countries. It’s all up in the air, and will continue to be, for a while yet (Globally). Anyone looking to import at this time is responsible for checking or finding out for themselves.
  11. As mentioned elsewhere I am not going to publish any advice or guidelines that suggest I know the deal because I think private sales won’t be affected. Let’s wait and see.

    Totally agree - there’s a lot of scope with adjustment of the presence and contour controls. I like how the presence brings out the front of the note with a clear ‘clack’
  13. More legal threats at 8:30 this morning - Xmas day! He must be rattled. BC office is close until late Jan.
  14. Well they did seem very happy on the phone!
  15. Set your compressor to allow the initial attack before kicking in (attack time). Might help
  16. Digikey have a massive selection.
  17. If I was after a 60s spaced jazz this would be it. We both know how good Atelier Z basses are!! Every bit as good as the usual suspects. Better than most!
  18. I think it’s best to have your own sound, 100% - but it’s also great to own examples of the classic main types of bass so when inspiration hits you can plunk away on a P or slap a Jazz. It helps keep things fresh, they’re great to own from a collector/historical interest perspective and they help keep your signature sound grounded by way if easy comparison. That was my excuse anyway.
