    Season’s greetings everyone.

    I’ve just had to learn that for a new band. Jacob’s Ladder - Rush

    And how piste off some folk were/are/will be*. *Covering all my bets there.

    That’s what I’d surmise. Link to the BD LaBella page https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/LaBella_Flatwound_strings.html

    Ooh, tough one. Of the 3 purchases I made this year, they’re all very different and all do what they were purchased for very well. Bass wise, I guess my shorty ‘Ray, as this has convinced me that short scale is the way forward for me (says the man who just acquired a 42” scale bass ).

    The 760FL LaBella’s are long scale. EDIT: Copied from the Bass Direct website: Short Scale - 32" Winding Medium Scale - 34" Winding Long Scale - 37" Winding Extra Long Scale - 38" Winding Hofner Beatle Bass Sets: 34" Winding 760F-MUS for Mustang Bass (through-body): 33.25" Winding Bass VI Sets: 35.5" Winding Jaguar VI Sets: 32" Winding Danelectro Sets: 32" Wound String Length

    Welcome to BC and back to the bass fold.

    The definition of insanity is expecting any thread on BC to stay on topic throughout.

    Plenty of mature (at least in years ) types here, you’re amongst friends.
  10. ezbass
    Yes, he has.

    I was wondering about this mod myself today. Yeah, that works, that really works. Now I want one!

    It’s growing on me, but I know exactly where you guys are coming from. The American Performer could benefit from a rounder bridge pickup, to make it easier on the eye too IMO, maybe a ‘51 P style one?

    Just had a meet up with the guitarist of a new band for me. He came to Ez Towers and he took one look at my Mustang and said, “Yes!” We’re going to get on fine. 😁

    Starting to gel with the beast at last. It would’ve happened sooner I think, but I’ve also just landed a position with a new band and have been woodshedding their set list.

    I shouldn’t be looking at the for sale section because Santa came early to chez Ez.

    Whenever I’ve had direct dealings with Hipshot, they’ve always been very helpful, so this comes as no surprise. I look forward to seeing the installation on the SG.

    I once tried out a Sadowsky Metro Express (pre Warwick) in GG, Camden. I was running through some Geddy lines, when I heard one of the staff accompanying me on guitar.

    Works for Pino too.

    Taking, or asking to use (not always allowed) a strap is something I learnt to do. Hopefully, there is also a selection of amps you can choose from in store and you’ll know which one is close to your own rig tonally, which you should know how it sounds like soloed.

    I’ve just realised that all of my current basses have been bought sight unseen and I’ve surprised myself at this realisation. Previous to these, I’m pretty sure all my basses were shop bought.
  22. ezbass
    Or a baboon in your bassoon.

    When I listen back to recordings of performances I made with one these, I have tinges of seller’s regret.
  24. ezbass
    This for sure. Some folk do things better/faster/whatever. We can't all be Bernard Edwards, Usain Bolt, Andres Segovia, Stephen Hawking, whoever, despite whatever nonsense is talked about 10,000 hours.

    Back to the OP, are you some sort of anarchist? 🤣 It's often very difficult to sing and play bass, because of the counter rhythms between the two (Mark King never fails to amaze me the way he can do it). I used to sing lead on Bowie's China Girl and it took lots and lots of playing and singing at home (and getting it woefully wrong) to finally get that independence between the two. Not sure I can still do it, as I've not needed to play and sing it for a few years.
