    My first bass in my latter period of playing was a Fender Modern Player Jazz, in fact I had a Mk1 and a Mk2. Once set up they were sublime. I got both for £375 each. They don’t come up second hand that much, I expect because it’s a shed load of bass for little coin. I swapped out the Mk2 neck for a fretless neck, it was lush. I think they were easily the best basses I’ve owned in a bang for buck sense, by miles.

    Couldn't agree more, they might cost a bit but they'll see you good for decades.

    Not satisfied with making the best live film ever (Stop Making Sense (1984) David Byrne is back with another brilliant live show David Byrne’s American Utopia. It’s on Sky Arts tonight (18th Dec) at 6pm, it’s technically astonishing and just brilliant.

    I'd read about @fleabag's experience of doing this before I sold a bass via BD.

    Isn't Al Trombone doing a five stretch for larceny in Wandsworth with the notorious French fence Stew D’Apples?

    Garth Brooks albums? Wasn’t his last album called Taco In A Tuba: Garth Brooks Live With The Tijuana Arrs.

    TBH we all usurp it every day, usurp being the operative here as that’s the sound of a pizza being rammed up a trombone. Just a shot across the bow there, if you want your brass instruments sullied by the forced application of sundry fast foods then don’t say you weren’t warned.

    I have had a few transactions with @Burns-bass and have failed to leave feedback on any of them! All these transactions have been absolutely smooth and easy. Lawrie is a complete gentleman and a great basschatter, deal with total confidence.

    I go through a Stomp into a QSC K12.2. It’s not the lightest but a K10.2 might be light enough.

    How important is gear to your sound? Well, the more you smoke the better you sound… Allegedly.
  12. Frank Blank
    Is it the gear or is it the room? A little out of column a), a little out of column b).

    For one night only, I’m an upstart again. RIP Mensi, great chorus son.
  14. Frank Blank
    Yeah, and you came in at the wrong place!

    Absolutely and completely this ^^^ His anger is the giveaway, it is an clear indicator that he is, in fact, very far from confident in his own abilities. As much as his behaviour angers me it’s over and you’ll be better off in the long run. Granted, I’d have taken a dump in his lead bag as I left… …but this is actually all positive because he’s clearly delusional and has a complex about his inabilities that manifests in anger rather than communication. Real musicianship is about working together and communicating, eventually he’ll be sitting in his room, playing what he wants, the way he wants, with no one, to no one, until he grows the f*** up.

    Very good point! La Bellas are my preference too, but, as you say, a little expensive.

    Newtone Strings, they will make up you up whatever you want and their prices are very reasonable.

    RIP Robbie Shakespeare.

    Yes, anyone can make a mistake, it's how businesses deal with customers when things go wrong that counts and the more I deal with businesses the more I think it is down which individual you happen to get to communicate with, hence the variations in responses from the same company.

    Received a reply to my email at midday. Profuse apologies, posting the correct mains lead out to me straight away.
  21. Frank Blank
    I am awaiting a reply to the email I sent as soon as I took delivery. Although I have purchased another I will be expecting the correct lead to be dispatched and will take it down the route you suggest if one is not forthcoming. You don’t happen to have a link to something that states correct mains should be supplied?
  22. Frank Blank
    No worries. It has an input on the back specifically for plugging in external devices for play along etc.
  23. Frank Blank
    I don’t have one. I ordered one straight away from Amazon obviously but I still think if it has a European mains it should say so on the ad, I would have got one prior. I know it’s unlike a musicians not to be knee deep in kettle leads but I just happen not to be right now.
