[quote name='luckman67' post='1058696' date='Dec 14 2010, 04:26 PM']I would love to be happy with 1 bass,but 2 of my basses were bought by my girlfriend. The daft thing is that until I saw this forum & TB I only had 2 basses, in the last 2 years it went up to 7 basses now it's down to 5.[/quote]
Nice collection, add a Jazz and a Gibson EB3 or similar and you'll have aperfect set (an additional Alembic and Wal seems extravagant).

I could drop to just 1 but I'd definitely miss my fretless at the very least. I've got 5 at the moment which will should shortly drop to 4 (watch out in the for sale section when I finally build up my courage to downsize)

Sounding good so far, I certainly aim to be present.

Can't wait
I may phone in sick [/quote]

I did a dep for a function band a few months ago and they sent me a bunch of pdf charts, just had a look but they appear to have been deleted otherwise I would have sent them to you. Sorry Jake I know how dull these can be.

Lessons In Love always makes jaw drop when you think that MK is singing and playing at the same time. L42 are pretty much a Marmite band in my mind, fortunately I like Marmite.

I've been using one of these since they came out, barely any tonal difference between this and the George L's leads I use, certainly nothing you or anyone would notice live. Wireless = the only way you'll ever get to hear yourself FOH from loads of deifferent places, and also make sure you're not the victim to some cowboy sparky's wiring.

It isn't all about how light it is, although that is important, it's also how well the bass balances. Having a lightweight body with neck dive can be more uncomfortable than a heavy bass that is well balanced. A 2 over 2 headstock is something that helps in this area and, as been mentioned, headless.

I can't believe it took this long, BC is slipping!

[quote name='silddx' post='1051971' date='Dec 8 2010, 06:14 PM']You are British.[/quote]
You got me. I'm actually going to blame my mum for my modesty rather than my country of birth, although that certainly plays a part too. She was always telling anyone who would listen how wonderful I was (at most things), when I knew I wasn't quite that good, so I went the other way and down played my talents. If I'm honest I can hold my own and given a drummer who understands what a rhythm section is supposed to do, I reckon I can lay down a pretty good groove with the odd fill thrown in to make anyone who listens to the bass (normally other bass players) take note. What I think I'm really quite good at is achieving a good solid tone. I certainly got more compliments for my tone rather than my actual playing. Of course that could be along the lines of "meet my friend, he's got a great personality" which as we know is code for "fugly" ergo "you've great tone" = "man alive your playing sucks". There I've gone all British again! Is there no escape from this modesty?

Other people think I'm good, but when I play by myself at home I often think I suck really badly. All I know is that I like to play and others like playing with me, so I'm going to go with those thoughts.

You could always use the "you've seen this one before, I've had it for ages" ploy. A friend of mine who has something the region of 35 assorted basses and the odd guitar had some identical basses so this ploy worked well. What gave the game away eventually for him was when his kids tried to play hide and seek and couldn't get under any of the beds in the house for hidden instruments.

Having to hide it from the Mrs means no photos of course Get the camera when she goes out again! What other toys did you get then?

Given that Bass Guitar magazine have just reviewed one of these which is not nearly as pretty and list the price at a whopping £6.6k anyone in the market is going to make a huge saving. Not me sadly as it was hard enough for me to recently shell out £800 on a newbie. Good luck with the sale of this gorgeous bass, have a bump!

Always worth a quick look in FX for sale section, is this small enough [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=113834"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=113834[/url]

Oh yes it is!

Well someone had to

Either Pino, Will Lee or Tony Levin. It's certainly not me

That bass makes me go funny inside and makes Mrs Ezbass nervous. Want

I've been trying to get rid of this for ages, no way am I buying another.

I changed the drivers in my old 2x10 ABM cabs to lighten the load. I phoned Ashdown and bought the new neo versions that they fit in the Superfly cabs. Almost identical tone the orginal Blue Line jobbies.

This thread is unfair. I haven't seen a postie for a few days and I assume they've got my copy stashed away awaiting better delivery conditions/staffing levels.

Schoolboy error. Borrow isn't in a drummer's vocab. It's "me have, so it mine" obviously in said in a suitably neanderthal accent

[quote name='Lozz196' post='1044912' date='Dec 2 2010, 12:18 PM']That said, first thing I would check in your position is the out-front sound, not the sound on stage. What is out front can be really different to the on-stage sound.[/quote]
This x infinity.

My sound on stage always sounds good with plenty of low end, but if I go out FOH (on of the beauties of wireless) it is much more middy and I often have to add low end (my cabs are very low mid voiced). Even your band are not hearing what it sounds like FOH as your speakers (and theirs for that matter) break much further forward than where you are standing.

[quote name='Low End Bee' post='1044846' date='Dec 2 2010, 11:28 AM']Flame on!

Only bass players would really care.[/quote]
Yeah there's the truth right there. We all worry about our tone, technique, note choice and ability, but when playing live who really listens to it or cares other than us and other bassists? This isn't going to stop me worrying about it though because I care.

Whilst typing this Alright Now is playing on Planet Rock. I hate playing this song or hearing it by others, but hearing Andy Fraser do his thing is always a pleasure. However, other than us low enders does anyone else notice? I guess the answer is that they'd notice if we weren't there.

Great collection. I seem to have a one in, one out policy going on so I rarely get above 4
