  1. I wouldn't - there is no coil tap I know for sure Would a cavity photo give you the answer?
  2. [quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1454933177' post='2974252'] Saw them at Bristol Colston Hall in 1836. Great band (it wasn't Pino on bass but I cannot remember who it was) [/quote] Was he playing acoustic double bass ? I'm sure Leo hadn't invented electric bass at that point
  3. [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1454931896' post='2974230'] Might not be the most difficult bassline in the world, but New Years Day is a great one nonetheless. I think AC has the common sense to realise just how good both his [/quote] It's what made me pick up a bass, along with jamerson
  4. I've got one It's very good indeed - the preamp has a wide range and fretting is good
  5. True, and I do agree although I was only considering music and taste here
  6. an unimaginative or 'bad' bass player until he releases a solo album that showcases the full range of his skills. [quote] He hasn't always helped himself mind, I remember an interview in Guitarist ( or possibly Bassist) in the 90s where he spoke about using sequencers and loopers on U2's most recent tours and essentially miming for large parts of the show. I have wondered if those comments are the fountainhead of a lot of the derision aimed in his direction. [/quote] I didn't know that part - you may be right
  7. Good bass lines - I always had a thing about their female backing singer Edit: Katie humble https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_West_(Go_West_album)
  8. I've been listening I've been listening to "bad" off a u2 live album today in my ongoing efforts to avoid idiots at work, he gets slagged a lot but he is good at mixing simple root notes with lyrical passages as it fits the need
  9. On Mario super kart ? Pretty impressive paw work there
  10. [quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1454838648' post='2973316'] Me too. Of course my Dad refuses to believe me as they are supposedly beyond human hearing! I can also comfortably hear the doggie tone at the end of Sgt Pepper. I just took the test - 17,181. I'm 34. [/quote] They are often variable / inaccurate and the lower end does seem to work better on cats - I hear them too
  11. 13197 so not too bad I'm 46 and listen to a lot of headphone music at work due to idiot abundance levels
  12. I only take two basses and a zoom pedal plus two leads so all in gig bag
  13. I had one - 62 ri from 83 No router points, very tidy
  14. If you can afford it why not keep it and pass to a family member to learn on?
  15. Condolences as well, would say for someone in a difficult place and not being in the bass world you're doing better at listing for sale and answering questions well than many posters here
  16. Always the precision, OM night audience love the battered look and the tone. Might give the Hohner a B2 a go next time just to shake it up.
  17. [quote name='mrtcat' timestamp='1454519051' post='2970457'] Was lucky enough to see them last February at a private 70th birthday party as a surprise for a friend of my Dad's. Apparently the birthday boy's wife paid just short of £300k for 45 mins. Worth every penny though. Bloody brilliant [/quote] Astonished - how much ?
  18. Will you please stop tormenting me like this? Now I will have to sell some children to get one like that for myself
  19. Yes You are right, the books I checked do specially prohibit lending. I can't see how it could be enforced but why not describe it as a gift ? Recipient then gifts it back
  20. [quote name='Wonky2' timestamp='1454271605' post='2968154'] Yeah, im not sure of its legallity either but no ones copying anything, all books are paid for so im not sure if copyright law prohibits the lending of original paid for property ? Not that i care much [/quote] You're not profiting - I don't see the issue If you were photo copying it or reading it aloud ..
  21. Red, always red I have some for sale as it happens
