    They’re like a poor relative of Wotsits. I reckon if you took a straw poll of the ‘great’ British public the majority would mention cheesy snack than a musical note. As an old man it’s another reason to shake my head.

    To redress the balance I ordered a set of strings on Amazon 10 days ago. After received my confirmation they’d been sent after about 10 minutes it turns out, 10 days later, that they hadn’t.

    I think you’ll find that quavers in the real world are a processed food snack flavoured with cheese.

    This is a fascinating insight into what makes a super-tight live band. I read somewhere that McCartney would rehearse for about a month, and he can (and does) choose some of the best musicians in the world. I'm sure you're sounding fantastic already ,when the adrenaline hits on the night it will be amazing.

    Bass heaven - a desert gold limited edition Stingray on the music stand Bass Hell - a 16 month old baby about to smack it with a TV remote control (I managed to stop her!)

    Any interest?
  7. Burns-bass
    Guess so.

    It's no a criminal matter, it would be a civil dispute (unless the shop reported the item as having been stolen). Bonkers, I know, but I've been in this situation myself.

    The Squier is a great instrument, but the Sire is a real step up and worth the extra. Only problems I've found so far are the tuners are bit weedy and the bridge lacks a bit of mass, but that can all be sorted out pretty quickly enough.

    They’re so expensive aren’t they? I remember buying a bass when I was at college for £15 (must have been 1997) and a Peavey TNT 130 for £85. That’s not a bad rig for that price. By 21 I was gigging an Atia Cat II The Pro Bass. Lovely! All paid for by a paper round or shelf stacking at Asda.

    Price drop to £140 including postage anywhere in the world
  12. Burns-bass
    Will accept offers (including trades - let me know what you have).

    Be aware of CITES too.

    Hi, no it doesn’t. I’ve addeed a picture above, apologies it’s taken so long.

    Bump again
  16. Burns-bass
    Bump still here

    I recently acquired an amazing Bravewood Jaco Replica bass which the previous owner had added a vintage style Spitfire scratchplate. These are handmade in the States and tastefully reliced. This one is designed for a pre-CBS bass but should fit any 60s Jazz bass I think. This has a buckle to it, to emulate the old guards which means you’ll need to stretch it on your bass. It’s that period accurate! These cost $200 new, and with shipping and import duties they’re nearer £300 when landed in the UK. Now reduced to £100!

    He did, but I think it was double tracked as a synth part too. I'm talking more about it live - I've seen some terrible versions that don't nail it unless it's double tracked.

    Let’s Dance by Bowie is an awesome synth bass line that really isn’t replicated as well by a bass player.

    Reading music is just a convenient and effective shorthand for conveying ideas. The belief that it inhibits creativity is just ignorant. Plus, it’s really quite simple to teach yourself.

    He’s an incredible player. Deep, rich and with a tone to die for. And an absolute monster when he needs to be too, but it’s all about the groove. Anyone who was booked by Steely Dan must have been a fantastic technician and a superlative sightreader. Oh, and he’s the author of one of the best instructional books for bass.

    I’ve had this discussion with someone at work and while I’ve been a huge lover of vintage basses (and the owner of some beauties) I’d get a bass hand made to my specs.
  23. Burns-bass
    Cheers, and excellent user name as well. I used to love The Shield.
  24. Burns-bass
    Absolutely. I’m a Ltd company so I can’t do it, but agreed it’s simple enough if you’re self employed to have a go.

    A good accountant is absolutely vital when running a business. Mine is always available, happy to sort out problems and we always meet to chat in the pub. Hes careful to always give advice and then we discuss options so I understand what’s happening. It helps that he was a friend before we worked together I guess.
