I have a Vintage 5 string,it's good quality,the sound is ok,though not outstanding,stays in tune,and it plays great.

What's the problem with taking the neck off ? It's only 4 screws.If you want it done properly,the bass needs to be stripped of all components.

You take that,and i'll take the Warwick,NOBBY MEIDEL SIG,

I still have a Hohner L59 les paul,equally as good as any Gibson Les Paul i've ever had,and a better sound than most of them.

Try, The Music Centre 8 Wellmeadow Street Paisley, PA1 2EF Phone: 0141 848 1033 The tech there seems like he knows his stuff.

Im not sure.I have thought about this a lot.I do'nt think that i have an "influence" or otherwise,that i am aware of,that i aspire to sound like,i just "know" what i want my sound to be like,and have been able to create "it" with almost any combination of the tons of amps and basses that i have owned or tried,Hartke,Behringer amps being the exception. While i have good gear (good meaning that i have no desire or need to replace),i often wonder if people are trying to re-create their heroes sound,or re-create the first good sound that they had. On reflection my first good sound was with my first basses as a bass player,previously i was a guitarist that owned a bass,and that was with a 68/9 Precision -60's EB3 - Selmer T&B 100w amp - 4x12 cab loaded with McKenzie 75w ? speakers. My first real influences were Andy Frasier,Jack Bruce,and i can still get that sound easily with my Jazz and Marshall DBS,even though that is not what my "sound" is.If anything i would say it is comparable to Phil Lynott,of the top of my head.clean and punchy. I have never felt the need to spend thousands of pounds on basses or amplification,while i have tried some very expensive basses,Alembic's etc,and would own one in a hartbeat,i have never really GASsed for one,and i have not yet got on with a high end amp.

"I'm totally GAS-free. And I'm not sure I like it. Anyone selling a rosewood 3TSB Roscoe Beck?"

That's why i said switch cleaner first WD40 will give a quick fix,and possibly save a Tech's fee.

Have you sprayed the pots with switch cleaner or WD40 ? that is a good and cheap way to get rid of crackles. It's active ? have you changed the battery ?

Bargain.

What are the body woods on the basses ? are they the same ? The Chinese bass will likely have a slightly inferior pickup. The finish of the bass will also have an affect on the tone,being that the HWY1 has a thin nitro coating,and the Chinese one will be thicker poly coated.

In about 1978 i had a Hondo Rick copy,that was definately not ply and a Hondo Les Paul that was,both sounded great.

The "strips of metal" on the neck are to remind you that you are not a poncy jazz playing twat.

No,but my car could be replaced,and i do'nt think that my bass could.

I thought Len White was still the no.1 choice.[/quote] Just a bit before my time "The other Dave from McKay's was the spit of (inspiration for) Neil from the Young Ones." but not quite as cheerfull spit was a dog.

I doubt it,as far as im aware the McKays Dave the hippy was a keyboard player in some 60's - 70's prog rock band.

6 or 7 years.So is the shop full of Encores now ? Tell me that Wynn Davies is still playing for the toon,it ca'nt have changed that much.

Doug ? what happened to Dave the hippy ?

[quote name='The Bass Doc' post='687221' date='Dec 17 2009, 12:23 PM']I think he means precisely where do you keep them, and when will you be out?[/quote] Hey,i got to pay for that new build somehow.

Where on earth would you keep all that gear ? It's amazing.

An old one "THE" And a new one.

Go into ANY working men's clubs,look at the posters,and DO'NT do anything like that.
