My first band in school folded. And then started again in a month with a different name and a different bassist. Luckily I am so thick skinned that I was over it within a day. This songs is for all of us. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yr_s6-Q7f00 Well I thought about the army, Dad said, son you're f***in high. And I thought, yeah there's a first for everything, So I took my old man's advice. Three sad semesters, It was only fifteen grand. Spent in bed I thought about the army, I dropped out and joined a band instead. Grew a mustache and a mullet, Got a job at chic-fil-a. Citing artistic differences the band broke up in May, And in June reformed without me, and they got a different name. I nuked another grandma's apple pie And hung my head in shame.

Germany goes for 443 on the classical scene. I have a friend who spoke of a guy he knew who went over there to play with a quartet. He tuned to his tuner (440) but realised something was very wrong very soon into the 1st piece. How they must have laughed.

Happy Jack will probably know better than I, as he had some light Basses. [/quote] I would love a G&L Jazz 5 with an Empress body. In Sonic Blue with matching headstock if anyone cares. I have a Korean MTD 5 which I guess (and I will weigh it) is sub 8lbs.

You could midi sync up to a Boss SL 20 slicer which is lots of fun. I am selling one so I would say that! But if you are running MIDI clock somewhere you are always in time and that is lots and lots of fun

When I need cables I come to Dave. When I need tricky cables I come to Dave. I never have to think about my cables. As Ian Dury might have said "see my leads bloke, he's called Dave, I know they're going to work".

[quote name='therealting' timestamp='1493644599' post='3289628'] I think I enjoy the chase as much as anything. I almost always end up playing the same bass on actual gigs (my Dingwall Super P5). [/quote] There is no denying the thrill of the chase

Having said that, the day will come when picking up 86lbs of cab will not be fun anymore!

[quote name='markstuk' timestamp='1493627684' post='3289446'] Going to be expensive though.. about £800 a cab here [/quote] Everything is expensive The irony is that I do not even need anything!

[quote name='markstuk' timestamp='1493622946' post='3289407'] Do they make bass cabs ? [/quote] Yep. http://www.quilterlabs.com/index.php/productpage/bassliner-series I am so lazy that I find the thought of a combo peculiarly attractive

Any of the Quilter cabs in the wild yet?

Action looks a bit high, otherwise I would be all over it like a bad rash.

There is not much finer in the world than a CAR headstock on a Jazz.

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1493286137' post='3287112'] but in truth I never pick either up over my Wal. [/quote] That is the truth for me (apart from the Wal bit of it).

Smooth and simple.

Like Sunday morning, it was easy!

I would love to go to 1 bass. I have basses I have not played for years, but I am emotionally attached to to them. But I am not. I should just flog them. I am a lightweight.
