  1. Is white with a black plate particularly characteristic of the 60s ?
  2. [quote name='SpondonBassed' timestamp='1483131895' post='3205007'] Using these in combination can deepen your "palette" as it were. [/quote] True I tend to swap about depending what I have to play, I see this as preferable to rigid adherence to one mode
  3. [quote name='Bridgehouse' timestamp='1483008524' post='3204037'] You know, at first I wasn't sure - but I've seen the light and the tort is great. Much better than black with natural finish I think.. [/quote] I might buy some tort for my vintage brand mm copy, now I've seen that
  4. [quote name='Cato' timestamp='1482602788' post='3201823'] I've become slightly obsessed with the bass line on this over the past few days after hearing it played in a shop recently. I can't believe I never noticed how brilliant it is before. http://youtu.be/qR9x7_refwY [/quote] I like it too Nice looking lady there too
  5. [quote name='HowieBass' timestamp='1482529031' post='3201354'] Yeah, the Squier VM is a nice bass for the money - I like mine a lot. [/quote] I've had the white one but never the natural / def consider it though
  6. Westone (?) did this in the 90s, you got two necks and could swap them over
  7. [quote name='Fabrocker' timestamp='1482423966' post='3200486'] What bass? [/quote] Some wooden bass - sorry I don't know the brand Four and eight string necks Weight wasn't an issue - stretch was
  8. [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1482415099' post='3200343'] So how do you tell if a song is in C or A minor? And does it matter? [/quote] Does it sound happy or sad ?
  9. Flat Eric has one, I tried it
  10. [quote name='josie' timestamp='1482348039' post='3199831'] Bruce Springsteen's autobiography - half price at Waterstones - couldn't walk past it. To read during the holiday. ) [/quote] There's time to read during the holidays?

  12. [quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1482275169' post='3199237'] Thanks, man. You know, when writing, foreigners like me can use the sub-set of English that we feel just about comfortable enough with. When reading however, we're on our own. I personally look up some stuff, but sometimes just assume. Some BC members' posts are hard to understand most of the time, whilst other members' posts are normally well-understood. That's not to say I look down on those whose posts go over my head! [/quote] I know this feeling ; I worked in Austria and Germany a lot and my colleagues rather oblique literary references left me baffled as I didn't have the background to know them, and it's not something you pick up in school Humbug is said by mr Scrooge in Charles dickens' "a Christmas carol", expressing his dissatisfaction with jollity and Christmas generally
