    I think its his signature bass

    The man was a genius. Actually the rhythm section were geniuses along with the baritone sax player. I came to ToP relatively late but was really happy to see them play live in 2017 in London (I think the last time Rocco would have played over here). How he didn't have arthritis in his fingers puzzles me, and I still can't master his muting technique!

    All the Fender stickers are the wrong way round in the background. It's mirrored

    This ad caused me to get my Leftie JO out and compare with my Fender CS Jazzes. I think the J/O is a real workhorse compared with the Fenders. It has what I think is a slab fret board, The neck is slimmer, but at the same time more stable. It sounds less vintage, but clear and full. Altogether these are brilliant basses and (if I were right handed) I would be all over this!

    truly scrumptious (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang)

    This is now really scary. I have a leftie one of these as well (albeit sunburst)! They are absolutely fantastic basses. To my ear the pick ups sound a bit more modern than CS basses. My one is really robust, doesn't ever really go out of tune. GLWTS

    I have a leftie version of this and it has an amazing neck. Very slightly flatter than older Jazzes and in my opinion, the very best to play. GLWTS

    How do you adjust the tempo with a mouse though
  21. Piers_Williamson
    That is (I think) exactly what I was after. Brilliant!

    And I did mean the drum machine:)

    Does Metro Timer include the option of delightful reinforcement of a bass drum?
  24. Piers_Williamson
    I won't embarrass myself by showing a picture of my metronome, but it's the sort individuals of a certain age might have seen on their grandparents' pianos! In lock-down, I've been trying to teach myself Deantown, which requires a certain mastery of consistent 1/16 notes. I find myself completely lost if I use said metronome, but there's a certain adrenaline rush when I play a long with the vid and/or a tutorial with the bass drum giving it some. Which is a convoluted way of asking basschatters whether they recommend an '808 esque' app (if such a thing exists on a phone) to emulate the poor person dribbling out of both sides of their mouth at once (at least if the phone is level)?
