Happy Jack

I remain unconvinced about buying cables designed for the mid range. What if you prefer a scooped tone?

On my General Discussion screen, this shows up as "My P-bass has been sent off". Every time I see it, I wonder if it was two yellows or a straight red.

Interesting ... never even saw that thread.

Hmmmm ... £1600 at today's rate = $2340. These basses retail at $2400 new, so buying this one second-hand would save you shipping & tax. Yes, the saving's worth having, but this is no bargain.

[quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1465200252' post='3065949'] Only other bass players care whether you use a pick, fingers, or half a house brick to play, so long as they like what they hear. [/quote] Ain't dat de troof! Although IME even other bass players don't give a monkey's. I certainly don't.

Well? Do you? http://youtu.be/9IYZyxPsjgs We may need to think about this ...

Silver paint ...

I thought I did well to get an excellent Tokai for £185! Well done mate.

The BarFM website is deeply sh*t, Ralph! Not surprised you didn't bother to link to it. Can you confirm this gig isn't Members Only (or something equally daft)?

Blue, you might want to actually WATCH the video first ...

$7k's worth of fun? I don't think so ...

It's a Jazz. http://www.premierguitar.com/articles/Reverend_Justice_and_Thundergun_Bass_Reviews?page=2

The eye of the beholder and all that. If I owned that bass, I'd pay good money for a refin. Sorry.

Phwoar!!! That's a looker. What a great-looking bass - I wish everyone could see it.

In one band I'm in we have two guitarists, one of whom seems incapable of staying in tune for two consecutive songs (so that's a 60-second tuning break inserted into every gap between songs, making the gaps longer), and the other takes five minutes to tune his guitar before each set with the volume on his combo turned up so that the whole pub can wince in unison. I'm sure they know what they're doing, and we often get compliments on the way that we've built the tuning process into our performance. OK, I made that last bit up.
