It just needs a little fairy sparkle to be photo-shopped on

I’d quite like that if someone took the flattened battleship off the front do two pickups so close together give a markedly different sound?

If you mean me, I just mean “paying for the name”, “it’s us-made”, “it’s vintage” etc kind of vanity where as @Lozz196 (I think) suggested in the past, the giveback for the premium price is tapered at best

Literally any bass that I buy is going to be more capable of sounding good than I am of making it sound so. I have a sire v7/5 and it is light years ahead of me, therefore c. £500 is where I draw the line between “good” and “vanity”

He’s the new @AndyTravis 👍

Not at all- you could learn from each other and keep the fires (made out of old Les Pauls obviously) burning brightly I’ll give you a pass on the drummer as they have uses but wouldn’t the guitarist look much better, and more distinctive fronting bands with a bass? theres still time to save him from mediocrity - move quickly ! If you’re in time no neighbours with pitchforks and buckets of tar and feathers will besmirch your front lawn

There you go @bassbiscuits - Ned Stark of Winterfell has spoken

Ah - hanging is too good for them … but … you could disown them immediately before they learn too much and so cannot be persuaded back to The Light

I think that’s a unique case. on the facts … they’re kids and cannot afford to tread the righteous path of bass on their own. @bassbiscuits isn’t playing the bass himself, I assume, other than to educate at least they won’t become guitards So…. I would say this is a situation to be merciful given the greater picture of “more people playing bass”

I only have two , a 4 and a 5. Both quite cheap / the four was cheap but a present from partner. the 5 is a sire so not super-expensive cheating isn’t really a thing for me

I’d suggest starting in London. Downing Street might be worth a look

I have a president I’d like to de… hang on. This belongs in Notable Deaths

Just anchor your hand near the E and move to B when you need. It’s about your mental approach not whether you use fingers or are pick-weird 😛

It depends how you do it. Just ignore the low B and thumb-root on E until you need to go lower, or if using the B would avoid open E. If someone asks you to change key down/up by 1 st you can then do it easily whereas if you’re playing with open strings you can’t. Just use it when it makes things easier

I’m not proud - I’d happily play a (standard) one if I thought 0.01% of his undeniable talent would rub off - much as I dislike much of his output.

Maybe he will recover if given enough antibiotics

He probably used to play bass but was led astray by the dark side

I’ve never tried one but maybe I should

Put some tort on it 👍 seriously … im Not aesthetically-minded generally but it would have to be a sonically-amazing example of that model for me to overlook it.

It can’t be that hard to gather a rolling total per user per annum of value of items sold where condition = new (ie x) and x > 1000£

I’d ask John east himself - he is a member here

I just use my zoom b2.1 (discontinued in Saxon times and made of linden wood) with a bit of compression and the ampeg patch with cab enabled then straight into the PA I was in the cobblers today and he shows up at my OM night to drink. He said my bass sounded really good. Those weren’t his exact words - there was an adjective starting with F

It can, if a part of the signal touches earthing you’ll get a buzz or hum

Like that shielding …
