I couldn't swear to it but I have a thought that JJB originally played through a Marshall guitar head. Vague memory, mind.

Pino Palladino recorded the bass tracks on the latest Who recording through an old Fender Deluxe.

Maybe this is the means to finally be rid of them!!

AJ The Housefly by the Barkays.

Definitely not!! I killed a man playing that.

I remember my first ever such moment. Recording a demo with a rock band and we decided to change to a reggae feel for the outro, As we went into the change, the drummer and I played a fill exactly in sync. We almost stopped playing.

I posted this a while ago. All your puny efforts are amateur hour - this is expensive!! https://www.guitarbroker.com/product/1979-musicman-stingray-fretless-bass/

The refinished white bass was refinished in black. This is me (and it) in Amsterdam with the Pretty Things.

This looks interesting. Wouldn't mind one myself. https://www.mesaboogie.com/amplifiers/bass/subway-series/subway-tt-800/index.html?utm_source=Mesa%2FBoogie+Amplitudes+Newsletter+List&utm_campaign=ff789e1e8d-subway-tt-800&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_bf726eb5e2-ff789e1e8d-2022481&mc_cid=ff789e1e8d&mc_eid=7a0620dcf2

Oh, come now.

I want two of my old basses back and one new one. 1. My 1953 Precision. Uncomfortable to play but what a huge sound it had. 2. My 1966 slab. Ok, I could buy it from Andy Baxter but not a penny over the £475 I paid for it. Again, uncomfortable to play but simply an awesome bass for recording. 3. An old 2 eq Stingray Fretless - sunburst and rosewood.

Mr Big (the UK band).

A mate of mine had a 2 x 12 one of these. Just a volume and a tone control. Coupled with his Grimshaw Les Paul, without doubt the best guitar sound I have ever heard.

Funnily enough it had a British Airways sticker on it (it was apparently built for Cass Lewis) that stated that it weighed 107 kilos.

The cab on the left is a Mesa Boogie 2x18 Road Ready cab. Got it on eBay for £62.

I would go with this. https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/SKB-ATA-Roto-Electric-Bass-Case-w-TSA-lock/4VC?origin=product-ads&gclid=CjwKCAjwk6P2BRAIEiwAfVJ0rBAVYgu0RijkOnUlaR9bbWVKaA6J0m2_EqNJU2i1CoDl67uuiQEb_BoCKpUQAvD_BwE

You can do as you wish. It's yours. Can I make a suggestion though? IMHO the Tony Franklin idea , of a switch, means you miss out on some nice 'in between' tones. Have a think about using the jack socket hole to go VVT (a la Jazz) and putting the socket on the bottom (a la original P/Tele). There are some great tones to be had by blending the pickups rather than just having them on or off.

Yeah, let's see the little pipsqueak do it without lines. 🙂

Didn't DG say that Live8 was akin to sleeping with your ex wife?

Always take one. Tuning backstage once when a machine head broke, the spare was used. Could have tuned using a pair of pliers but not so easy if you need to do it on-stage. My spare has always had the exact same set up so there's no difference in sound etc.

Loving that old P-bass though.

That one's especially for John Hall!!!

Now we know we're cool
