What do you do if you think a J is too thin and a P is too thick. I got Bernie Goodfellow to make me an in-betweenie. I have played some nice fenders but none that really compare.

Cant think of much else that has not increased in price since 2001.

[quote name='clauster' post='108482' date='Dec 23 2007, 11:16 AM']a lot of people say they don't like country - I always ask which style(s) they don't like, it's a hell of a journey from bluegrass to neil young and round to gram persons).[/quote] Both kinds - country and western

After Dave for Jools the guy on TV the most lately has to be the bass player in Dave Arch Orchestra that plays the toons on Strictly Come Dancing. Caught the occasional glimpse of what looks like an NS EUB and apart from that he wears a hat.

I remember The Killers taped over their Hiwatt badges cos they cound not get a big enough discount.

Most players would probably argue "it depends". I use a pick a lot and when I use my fingers its usually over the p pup or neck pup, depending on which bass I am playing. I tend to use fingers more with the fretless.

Cure for GAS - you are going to need a fretless to go with it.

Well I saw the slabs of walnut when Bernie first got them and there was a bass finished with it in the workshop a couple of weeks ago so I am guessing it was this one. This looks like sex and the front face is thick enough to take the contouring. When I ordered my last one I said to Bernie "no fancy woods" but he could not resist using this for the neck.

[quote name='jammie17' post='107994' date='Dec 22 2007, 06:58 AM']I often wonder how past bassits recorded the countless wounderfull songs, and music, without the bass tweeter.... [/quote] Jamerson never used one. Most of his motown stuff was straight into the desk though.

I've seen it too - that slab of facing gives the game away.

So far so good....................

Yep. HD350.

Interesting points here and if all we cared about was whether the audience liked the sound there would be no excuse for GAS One of the things that made me change my rig was when some mates from an old band could not hear a difference in sound between an Ibanez Musician Fretless and a Bass Collection. I wanted to hear my fretless sing so I got an amp that would let it sing. f*** the audience.

I think you would hear loads of difference if you changed your amp - whether you like it is another matter. There are a lot of amps that claim to be transparent and allow the sound of your bass to be louder, so you can clearly hear the difference between basses. All my basses sound different through my HD350. There are other amps that have a signature sound so whatever bass you plug into the amp it still sound the same. My Peavey T-max, great amp that it was, did this. If you only use one bass though who gives a f***, so just go with your ears

Well Bob it looks like you want a Shuker so go get. Dont think that any of the others wont do a P/J bass for you cos they dont have any pictures like what you want on their websites. There is nothing like this on the GB site:

You could always phone Bernie and ask him.

Try to sell as a stack - be prepared to sell seperately as you can bet your bottom dollar that you wont find anyone wanting it all.

Very nice bit of quilt.

I have asked if its possible to know when the gear is hitting the shores over here. Hopefully he will get back to me with an answer.[/quote] Did you call his cell phone number thats in the adverts? Never took the old Hartke gear seriously. It was way too heavy and frankly lightweight in terms of power.

It comes out when I touch the strings
