  1. MJJS started following If you’re building a walalike and are mad enough , Who knows their modes. , Now £500 - Ibanez SRF700 Fretless and 7 others

    I think a lot of this type of discussion depends on what type of learner you are. I’m a visual learner, so for me the shape of the mode or scale on the fretboard ‘locks in’ more easily. It also means that you can overlay any other mode onto the one you’re looking to visualise how you would move from one to another. A useful exercise is to know which mode comes out of the 5th of the one you’re currently on. As a starter, if you just manage to pin down Ionian - Mixolydian - Ionian you’ll pin down a good useful range. I’ve also taken up keys in the last few years as well. I cannot emphasise how much you will improve as a bassist if you start learning keys. It’s transformative. Also, the piano shows modes (in C major) so simply. It also shows you in C maj why a key has the diatonic order of maj, min, min, maj, maj(dom7), min, min(dim)(half dim7) I’ve provided this link elsewhere, it also comes as an app. Well worth working through. Not bass specific. https://www.musictheory.net/lessons Hope that helps.

    I’ve had the 4 and 5 of these. Marvellous basses.

    Can we go back to the first statement in the thread. Please justify four basses to yourself otherwise many of us are in deep trouble…..

    Looks great. How many hours did that take?

    Just in case you’ve never been shown: when you fit a bass buggy, lie the bass (in its case) on its side and attach the buggy to the side in the air. Then just roll up and over onto the wheels.

    Thanks, but alas 6 is my max.

    This was very tempting, but I’m really awaiting a Noguera YC semi fretless to appear ….

    Given the size of the Short Scale Appreciation thread, I’m surprised this is still here.

    If you can use a 34” and would consider a semi, the Sire GB5 might be worth a look and they’re currently on sale under £400. Bridge is set well back on them.

    This time a personal attachment, I now own this beauty. https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/jaydee-supernatural-mark-king-series-ii-cherry-red-1985-pre-owned/ I’ll do a NBD in due course…..

    No personal attachment or interest, but if I were looking for a passive shortie …. https://bassbros.co.uk/product/atelier-z-baby-z-4j-vintage/

    Very nice.

    I saw this today, no personal association. https://reverb.com/uk/item/87791567-baldly-demolished-wal-bass-mk1-body

    Alem.ACG352.mp3 Wal.ACG552.mp3 Two sound samples, an Alembic SC Sig bass playing a start of a track, then the Salace in the same position and then the Salace in the correct position that shows more of the Salace range. The Wal one has a noodle on a Wal Mk2 5 and an ACG Salace 6 in Bm. Both have flats on. Hope that helps.

    A pair of 30.5” Salace basses, B - C with no problems. Both have DFMs, but not the MCs. The fretted one (352 on the ACG site) can produce a very convincing Alembic style sound when “popped” on the treble side. The Wal sound is also closely produced by the fretless (552). I am lucky enough to own a Wal mk2 5 so have compared of course. The trick here I find is to tune your filter to a frequency of interest within your rif to feature it. Good luck!
