WOT? They can hear new music? ... In their head? 😱
Frank Blank replied to BassTractor's topic in General Discussion
Thoroughly enjoyed that film, particularly Mickey Mouse chopping up the broomsticks. -

Absolutely this, my JMJ had LaBella 760F-MUS stainless steel flats, perfect strings for this bass.

The short scale I felt comfortable with instantly was the Nordstrand Acinonyx. Out of all the basses of any scale I've ever played it was, by a country mile, the easiest to play and most comfortable bass I've ever owned. If you get the opportunity to try one then do, incredible instruments.

It depends on the bass and on you, you have to try a few out before you'll find one that kind of 'suits' you. Once I found my 'brand' so to speak I adjusted very quickly, well, instantly really. Neck dive isn't inevitable, only one of the eight or so short scales I've played had neck dive, mind you, they have all had lightweight tuners. If you are moving from a P bass then I completely agree with @Lozz196, Mustangs are the way to go. I also had a JMJ and it was glorious, I never noticed any neck dive but, again like Lozz, I have straps that provide good support.

Ages ago I downloaded a shedload of reggae and dub, as recommended by a motley selection of vagabonds and reprobates, I mean like half an iPod's worth. I had little knowledge of the wider world of this music other than the bands I listened to in my punk youth, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Dillinger, Steel Pulse, Bob Marley. So, gradually, as I have it on random most of the time, various tracks come on, some of which I like (which I post on here), some not (which I don't), I am running out of artists I like! Anyway, here we are on Pg. 149 of one of the best threads on BC (cheers @Reggaebass) and it really is time to use it as a resource to get more reggae and dub to fill up the other half of the iPod.

A similar rumour (If @Frank Blank did not attend last year's Bash, the 08:17 53 - Oxford Bus Station (Gloucester Road) to Bicester bus would be 5 minutes late) was doing the rounds last year. I didn't attend the Bash and yet the aforementioned bus was on time. I think the world is safe. Mind you, from Oct. 42nd onwards is anyone's guess. In summary, Nostradamocles, or whatever his name was, can do one.

I agree with @warwickhunt. The Fishman Platinum Pro is a lovely bit of kit. Obviously if you have a bigger budget I would suggest any of the Grace Designs options, well, the Alix or Felix. They will last you forever and there's nothing better imho.

He does give good hair.

Great band, great cover. Cake. Great... -
I could just drink some punch, pass out and leave a week later?
-
Right. I am definitely attending this one, hopefully, unlike 2 years ago, I won't have to leave after 30 minutes rather than punching someone!

Name a Genre an give me your top 3 tracks from it
Frank Blank replied to Mykesbass's topic in General Discussion
Drum & Bass ...although Red Snapper or more Acid Jazz really but who cares? -
What is “hi fi” sound and which amps tend to have it?
Frank Blank replied to Minininjarob's topic in Amps and Cabs
For me too. The only thing in forty years that got me that was an FRFR speaker, which is why I stopped using a trad amp/cab rig from that day onward. -
