Learning to Fly - Tom Petty & Co

Brilliant, a true Basschatter! 😆 It has been mentioned previously, but if you find a fiver isn’t for you, go with the drop D tuner, I’ve used them for years and have them fitted to the majority of my 4 stringers. You get used to compensating for the lower tuning really quickly. The only drawback is when you forget to reset it and launch into a tune only to find you’re a tone flat (tell folk it’s a jazz harmony 😉😆). An octave pedal probably won’t really do what you want, I’ll use it in that scenario for maybe a note or two at the end of a song, or a particular section, but not for the whole thing (unless I’m channeling Tony Levin, Pino or Guy Pratt of course).

I see Fender are celebrating 75 years by reissuing all the usual suspects, again.

Yep: Rock/Fender/ Hard Place. It’s difficult for them, but they need to stick with a new design, it’ll be slow to begin with, but they’ll get there. I wonder what we’d be playing now if Leo & Co hadn’t ground it out in the early days (it couldn’t have been easy)? They should’ve tried harder with the Dimension bass, with some high profile ‘name player’ endorsements. I can only think of Yolanda Charles playing one.

Indeed. Leo's impact to musical instrument design has always fascinated me - he wasn't a player himself, yet I don't think any other individual has contributed so much. Both with things he designed directly, and the influence on others' designs.
The situation today kind of reminds of of the Ford statement "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.”
We need a modern day Leo!

I really like this thread for the way it has highlighted the ‘different strokes for different folks’ adage and why there are so many different types of basses out there. The last 5 posts alone are cases in point.

Had them on my Ibanez GWB35 and they are standard on some makes.

I remember reading somewhere to avoid anything with silicone in it. I have a small bottle ‘guitar polish’ that came with some Fender case candy over 10 years ago. I still have it somewhere, lasts for ages.

Nice, understated configuration; good choices made there. 12 weeks would normally fly by, these days maybe not so much. It’ll be worth the patience in the end.

Loved that shop, really nice guys. I tried my first Wal there IIRC.

I can't understand why this thread hasn't been locked, doesn't it go against the site's ethos?
