Totally Original and not a Chinese Knock Off at all
Doctor J replied to lonestar's topic in Bass Guitars
I like how it's strung up, just to make sure your senses are violated no matter where you look. It's the attention to detail, you see... -

Who/What started you on your journey and why?
Doctor J replied to snorkie635's topic in General Discussion
10th of May, 1988. I was getting into Heavy Metal and went, with my friends, to see Megadeth, supported by Sanctuary. Back then, they used to do a cover of These Boots Were Made for Walking at gigs and, during the extended bass intro, I realised I was going to be a bassist, having never considered playing an instrument prior to that. -
Got it for €43, thank you very much!

Not related to the bass, but good to hear him talk about some mighty albums

Nope, I wouldn't say so, not in the digital age where reputations can be made or destroyed quite easily and quickly, i.e. a single social media post about his band playing to no-one, unable to draw an audience, seen by other landlords or promoters, does their reputation no favours at all. Everything you listed as something which could do them good can (and should) be practiced and worked on in a rehearsal room, not figured out on stage and in public.

The Logic Max Combi2 C35 was made back when they were good, before QC went down the tubes.

The basses that I find most interesting these days were made over 10 years after I was born. There's no way I would pay the current asking prices for basses as old as me.

He has wired one arseways and now they're out of phase with each other, i.e. ground to the live lug, hot to ground.

Dirt is one of my favourite albums of all time. Love that song, too. It's all groove, but in 6, and the impact is brought about by varying the intensity of different sections instead of a collection of riffs. The power of that song is all in how it's played. Chic operate in the same way for much of their stuff, same riff for 10 minutes but you bring it up, you bring it down and that's how it effects people. Amazing how differently we hear things.

Are you getting paid? If so, consider that playing the song is a much better way to get money than digging coal out of a mine or working in a call centre, no? Take the money, do your easy work and, next time you play the song, think how great it is to get money for playing music.
