The Joshua tree stuff was inspired by US touring during war and unforgettable fire tours

Normal female hands. However I’ve seen truly petite women wrangle a p bass for a full show, see Enid from Girlschool as an example just get a shorter scale bass like 32” or a Hofner lady I know has very small hands but is buying a Harley Benton beatbass

Mine are 7.5” too and I wear large gloves other things slightly on large size so maybe you do have big hands ?

May I draw your attention to Spanish Eyes? B side of Streets, very much a kick ass baseline. @ConstantineIsslamow posts a great cover version of it

I agree in part, pickups and their construction and placement do make some difference- (a strat doesn’t sound like a telecaster and their size and materials are very similar. wood** less so as a factor … and I’m obviously right 🍿…. ** unless blesses by fairies back in 1961 of course … extra 🍿

Being slavishly adherent to the original would be my guess?

I bought a u2 play along book once and all the sound tracks were recorded in c#, e flat a#, very annoying

Yes I read that in “the unforgettable fire” a book from about 1990 where Steve iredale described having guitar after guitar thrust back at him as no one told him to tune down to e flat

Nice recovery…I have one bass

@Linus27 I’d appreciate a link to your youtube videos please

Backing ladies? I thought silver sharp-Logan always did an amazing job

I had to sell my relic sunburst P, but one day I’ll have another and it will have a jazz neck

Keep taking the tablets and the guitard-wannabe madness will pass. You’ll breathe out and say “wow that was a close one .. I almost ….

@MNY it’s a trope around here, a running joke that new members are often young metal fans and don’t know Much about equipment hence they ask the question “is it …” forgot to say it’s a handsome bass btw

I’m not sure they’re always that simple, have a listen to Love comes tumbling

It’s not that accurate … the real thing has a jazz bass neck with logo

It probably snapped

Teabags …

Is it, erm, just wondering … any good for metal? 🤔

Agree

Agree. I managed to get a p bass close to that look

Like him or loathe him, he’s the reason that I started playing bass. I admit he’s not Michael man ring but it is “in the pocket, in time” bass which is what most people expect to hear

That didn’t show @BassAgent i speak German, French and small bits of other languages such as Czech, Irish and italian It’s a brave thing to venture your language skills outside your comfort zone, I’ve had to do that myself and I know how it feels I worked with this German lady, married to an Englishman with English speaking kids, working as a translator and she regularly made major mistakes it really isn’t easy and as speakers of a weltsprach, we lose sight of it
