    That's a handsome looking thing well done... how much would something like that set me back ?

    thats weird i now seem to have two of me

    I use them on my fender jazz and they sound great..maybe a touch more gnarly than d'addario's which is good with me.. i recommend giving them a try

    Agreed with the above,and some of my other most hated have been had Livin on a prayer , Wonderwall but i dont think i've seen that utterly shite Micheal Jackson tune where he had the 'god complex'

    Well i guess if your looking at funk within a fairly narrow field of references but i have always thought of [Santana ,Billy Cobham ,Lenny White] all of which Doug played for, to be very funky and pioneering in the jazz funk/fusion field ...

    I always thought that Doug Rauch's superb playing with Santana must have had a big impact on the full on more rhythmically busy slap approach to playing ,and this is from 72

    I use an Eden EC180 15 for smaller gigs ,and it handles things well a lot more so than my old TC BG250 which use to struggle with an enthusiastic drummer.

    Just bought a Lovely Jazz bass from gyrus he was a pleasure to deal with and very accommodating have every confidence in dealing with him.

    I have had all the bass's mentioned so far and think all would work nicely i would also strongly recommend the Sire v7 which are the most versatile of all https://www.thomann.de/gb/marcus_miller_v7_alder_4_ts.htm?glp=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIkcLzu8Ts2QIVLrHtCh0ySwuVEAQYBSABEgIlAPD_BwE

    I think Bubinga has a valid point in as much as Mars's music is a pastiche of things that have been successful in the past and seems to lack any original creativity, granted he is hugely popular which i'm sure his record label love but he is never going to be the next Marvin ,Curtis ,Smokey ,James Brown or the hip hop artist's he's parodying of late... more Jimmy Osmond than James Brown i would say ,he even has the teeth

    Its nice to play and have played all sorts of bass's but when it comes down to it my most played and recorded bass is my fender jazz it's also been the most popular with other band members and producers.

    Great playing and proof to any gear snobs that the job can be done with a cheap bass ...nice one

    I've played a couple of Kestrals and they both played beautifully and sounded great ... I'm normally a fender jazz man and was initially uncertain about the through neck and body shape but after trying them i have no reservations now .. the necks were very easy and fast to pkay and access to the upper register eas better than a classic jazz type neck, i think they would make great fusion bass's.

    Clearly barking ...mind you it will get you noticed when taking the lead !

    'Over the top' .. certainly !

    Is the jj pickup the dual single coil/humbucker type ?
  22. timhiggins
    The pickgaurd looks like my old colombus one .. different knobs though
  23. timhiggins
    Yep i agree with Lozz before buying anything new stick some old rounds on and see what you sound like in the mix... i use fender's jazz and p/j for reggae and a little ska and to be honest the p/j is more versatile using the blend of both p.u.p's or the p alone i have used a bb in the past and it was fine ... my tone is usually about 15% up

    Are you sure its the Amp and not the pups in your bass ?
