It is. I guess I should just play it with one of the guitar straps I have and see if it is ok like that. It is actually lighter than a few guitars I have.
-
Yeh, been trying to get a strap for it that sort of goes. Couch have failed me, there is a nice (expensive) vegan one on etsy, but it is only 2" wide which seems a bit narrow for a bass.
-
Its hard to work out the uncoolest thing in that video though isn't it? The acoustic guitarist needed a bit more practice with that dance. I presume that the thunderbird was made for country music? Same as the flying V and explorer (and moderne)
-
Yes, they are far different than I was expecting, they are obviously not P2 sizes but they are a lot more agressive than i was expecting, and apart from volume differences, quite close to the US barts
-
It really does. If I put it next the the 2605 I probably have a lot of the oceans covered!

Yeh, you pay the extra for the caligraphy -
Yep, thing of beauty - a little out of my range though And finally not!

It is so nice I can even bear the sunburst! -

I liked teh Roger Waters P for a P bass, on the basis it was a nice colour scheme, couldn't care if it was a roger waters one, I mean he wasn't exactly a bass genius was he! -
History. I have this relationship with books. I buy them, I put them down, they gather dust. I love the idea of books, just the practicalities of actually reading them.

The lull is good, the jackson not so much. Trouble is the headstock on the thunderbird is always going to be bad. I think lull got it right there, although high fret access and lack of the 5th string are always going to be an issue for me. -

I certainly wouldn't notice if someone had a sting signature bass, so not sure why anyone else would unless they were a real sting fanboi. Isn't that pretty similar to many other black SR basses without the scribble? Didn't they do a white one once with a white fretboard? I would have got that due to the aforementioned white fretboard -
I ordered one, and the guy pratt book while I was there. Then I saw the Ariane Cap book and thought I would get that too, then I thought, no, I will see if i read the others first!

I had a geddy lee signature jazz, because it was a jazz with a thin neck and it played well. A signature version doesn't really affect me as long as it doesn't make it uglier. His has a signature on the back of the headstock, I have no issue with that. -
Actually may be better. Scotts course immediately launched into stuff that I had no idea about, so I was lost from the start.

Well, I now have a shuker uberhorn, so I am going to be playing everything with it. Mustang sally? Check. All right now? Check!
-
Sounds like a win as far as I can see. Now you have to make some music with it

Would love a bass with a white fretboard. Its a shame that fretboards are so rarely coloured. Still kick myself for not getting a fender flip-flop strat. -
I couldn't get on with the gary willis fingerboard thing, so I got my money back on that. But the 26 week accelerator course was great, happy I did that one.

You can put it into single note mode, then it never does that.
-
Mine is pretty good, hadn't had any trouble with recognising certain notes, except doing intonation on the B string at the 19th fret, then it starts getting a bit weird, but for normal tuning no issue.
-
Yeh, I did that once. The bass amp was on mute
-
Yeh, the other shuker will go just as soon as I fix the preamp, then I will be back to level!
-
And that is fine too! We have that almost every gig with the guitarist. As he is using a les paul and a valve amp, it is not a preamp issue! Normally a rubbishy fender lead. He was once annoyed that he cut out at the beginning of dani california and we carried on the song without him, and after the gig someone that has seen us a lot came up and asked what was different as it sounded really good. Very very amused!
