dood... you know that there is an attached stigma in using signature basses, do you think john shuker would build a yamaha attitude type bass to my spec?

[quote name='Lfalex v1.1' post='56850' date='Sep 7 2007, 10:19 AM']I can vouch for the Attitudes. Don't so much sing and twang as roar and thump! Definitely different. Otherwise; OLP Tony Levin Fender Roscoe Beck (but the pick-up switch has to go in favour of a Volume / Volume or Volume / Pan arrangement) Quite like the new Statii - Pino Paladino or Guy Pratt designed models. Dunno if they're actually signatures [i]per se[/i], though.[/quote] o yes, oh yes - I have two attitudes and love them dearly!! worries the missus at times! they just kick ass and sound mighty - couldn't in a million years part with them....mind you when I kick the bucket, the kids will get them. they are like a fusion of a telebass and pbass, actually thats exactly what they are! trying to sell my pbass and squiers in order to fund an ampeg 810 and another yamaha attitude, a red or a black one or one of those anniversary series - they are just the dogs boll***s for mad rockers!!!!

Amazon Uk appear to be falling into line with Amazon.com! bang for your buck - apologies for the Americanism!!! Mrgig, you are correct, though some of the newer stuff is looking very sturdy indeed....I have the little brother of your V6 the V4 - these a particulalry bomb proof...however, early models/prototypes were very prown to failure do to over heating... btw, want your v6 swap my american pbass for it?? andy

that sound as though it could be real loud then??

any one got experience of these all valve 300 watt amps? seen them on amazon for £500...all valve? maybe entry level but thats a lot of bang for the proverbial buck!!

first itme I have seen him...fantastic!

as the title - humbling huh?? wish I could play a 1000th as well as that!! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lj6-gohzsaE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lj6-gohzsaE[/url]

was an extra in a video with fish and sam brown...friends and lovers i think the song is called! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2tKJ4zzNjw"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2tKJ4zzNjw[/url] my former bass tutor is the nephew of Jack Bruce... he also played bass with the proclaimer, danny wilson etc... also, used to be a cracking rock pub in Edinburgh called the Southern...Nirvana played an accoustic gig in there before an evening show late in 92', the place was quite literally full to overflowing, as you would expect, takings for that night was one the best the pub did ever!!! until...my rock covers band played in there...full, couldn't bloody well move nor get a drop to drink! record takings? beat it by a mile that night..as good as that may sound the advantage we had - was hogmany 92'! Edinburgh was bursting at the seems...................(|||)

must admit - I am staggered at the life this thread has had.....

it was ok...soon as you turned an amp up loud the alnico pups started squealing..... body and neck felt good - hardware is cheap and nasty!!!
