    Actually this is making me perhaps modify my thoughts, I am not a specialist in any field really but I am savvy enough sometimes to just know when something (perhaps something I am not knowledgeable enough to comprehend or single out) is wrong... ...audiences would perhaps experience greater positive emotion through listening to the music but not identify the tone per se? ...Hmmmmm, yes, thought provoking.
  2. Frank Blank
    We had quite a lengthy discussion about similar matters here...

    Something to make them groove. Speaking as a text book self-centred dullard I think the subtleties of tone are lost on the majority or punters.

    Theatrical As Apposed To Forsythe ...is going to be the title of my autobiography and the first line of my CV from now on.

    They don't interfere with the huge range of wigs I don during gigs either...
  6. Frank Blank
    Very. You can get all sorts of branded expensive versions but I'm good at losing these so at that price it's no biggie. Perfectly functional.

    I use this... https://www.amazon.co.uk/TRIXES-Sunglasses-Neoprene-Stretchy-Spectacle/dp/B009AS1H4G/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_200_bs_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=Q0ARP3WW98GW6QXWPKYK

    A good point and well made. Someone set fire to the pianist so I can put him out... with p***.
  9. Frank Blank
    There was a piano that needed p***ing in.

    What these people fail to understand is Bass is King. Guitarists have to do all sorts of flouncy virtuosic nonsense to get their sorry point across, there is nothing like standing at the back locked in with the drummer and fully realising that the reason that audience is dancing is nothing to do with the 6 string hair farmer but all to do with the deep, satisfying groove you are laying out there. Guitarists? I’ve s*** ‘em.

    I have not experienced this, but then I've never been in a band with tnucs.

    The luthier who sets up my guitars showed me this, the benefits of such a seemingly small action are immense.

    I’ve had a couple of electro acoustic Crafters, great guitars for the money GLWTS.

    Floyd Lawson and Vivian Weathers who share the bass playing on Linton Kwesi Johnson’s first three albums... Dread, Beat an’ Blood Forces of Victory Bass Culture ...especially the last two. Simple, austere, sparse playing but just perfect.

    Brave! But worthwhile, it looks cracking.

    Having worked in the music world for fifteen odd years (as a tech rather than a musician) I found that bands on their way up tended to be the ones full of themselves, the vast majority of the big names (in my limited experience) were cool. Behaviour like this is also facilitated by the obsequious sycophants that surround them. My career as a driver/tech/roadie was an interesting period, I have been thrown off tours (once in the middle of the US) for speaking my mind yet also my services were requested sometimes precisely because I was straight about things. Generally I suppose a-holes remain that way, cool folk remain that way regardless of the level of success or the business they are in.

    I have a Chowny Pro on order to satisfy my electric SS bass needs and my main bass is the Taylor GS Mini-e Bass, but I’m thinking about starting up a heavy dub band in the next few months and now I’m wondering if the Aerodyne might be the very bass for that project?
  20. Frank Blank
    I think you all have very valid points. I did buy it, initially, because I love the look of it and I love the weight too, and, thinking more about what @visog said I can be fickle sometimes and throw all my toys out the pram over very little. I think I need to apply a little adult reason and give it a proper chance.
  21. Frank Blank
    I don’t think that’s a fickle, nor arbitrary, decision. In fact it wasn’t a decision at all, it was a discovery on playing a short scale for the first time.
  22. Frank Blank
    I have it up for sale right now as a week after purchase I discovered I should be playing short scale. I haven't played a note on it. I think I'm just going to have to take a huge hit on this one and put it down to experience.
  23. Frank Blank
    I would have found the MF afterwards and spoilt his day royally in whatever manner came to mind.
  24. Frank Blank
    The do look great and are very light but also cost £1083 at most places... Damn.

    Someone just put me out of my misery, I've spent 1k+ on a spanking new Aerodyne and the only real comment I've seen on here compared it to a Mondeo. Shall I just take it down the end of the garden, Townsend it and make a fire?
