I've a lot of time for Free Peace Sweet, excellent album which still holds up well. The first two were patchy, it must be said.

I'm the only person I know who still buys CDs. If you like having loads of CDs in the boot of your car, go for it. If not, spend the time and money in online promotion of your gigs and streaming links.

I believe it was 1966 when Jaco first recoiled in horror, pointing at his bass -four stringed, naturally - and shouted "BAD VIBES, MAAAAAAAN!" as he struggled with the emotion of tone-sucking shonkiness of his original, rare and future vintage, but not yet, Jazz bass. He tried to kill the crappy bridge with a butter knife, as legend has it, but slipped on a stray banana skin, missed, and inadvertently invented the first electric fretless bass and Jazz Fusion, all on a rainy Wednesday.

Jaw droppingly good albums for bass players to hear

Randy R Nicklas II is poor shadow of the first and, many would say, greatest of the Randy R Nicklas' to grace the oul three stringer. David Pastorius, of course, only needed two strings.

You can see it's stamped Taiwan on the back of the headstock. I think 85 or 86 was the last year for Japanese ones.

AI Jaco only needed three strings, that's why.

Reverb has been fine for me. Have used it several times and never failed yet. Like ebay, amazon and others, it's just a means for you to engage with a mix of independent private and commercial sellers. I never had any trouble, studying feedback and past sales always pays off. To this day, the worst packed thing I ever bought was from here, the hardcase with a single strip of brown packing tape around it, bass inside, no other packaging material at all. I still love this place, though 🙂

Updates to the Reverb app will be exactly the same as the previous version, just with different colours.

J neck? Looks nice and narrow at the nut.

It's natural for the bridge J to have less output than a neck P. Set the pickup height by the sound rather than with your eyes. They are unlikely to sound good set to the same height. Don't be shy to have the J closer to the strings than the P.

The concept of putting up with an instrument you're not happy with, so as not to upset a future owner, is quite an odd one. If you don't like it, change it. If you can't or won't change it, sell it. Buy the instrument you actually want to make music on. In this day and age, there is no reason to compromise.

While a Fender design is a known quantity, it seems to be a lot of backwards looking music where they have become the uniform of choice. The onus seems to have gone from standing out to fitting in, in a lot of contemporary music. Schecter, ESP, Ibanez and co continually evolve, they refine their models and, generally, they don't make what they made 5 years ago and much of their artist roster consists of people still pushing the envelope a bit. The big US companies have chosen a path of endless regurgitation and lots of the music made on them follows the same concept.
