Between us we have 30, if we extrapolate those figures that means there are more bass guitars than humans!

That's actually pretty good -
Health and safety, innit.

He's deluding himself, if it was valuable it would still have the serial number and where it was made marked on it. The only reason to remove those marks is to try and cover up it's humdrum origins - which given that the body dates from 2000 is almost certain.

I picked up a magnifier lamp from eBay for under £20, with my rapidly failing eyesight I'd be knackered without it! -
Which bass players play in the upper register like Peter Hook?

Clack attack? Wasn't that a disco group? -
The only way to play Ace of Spades convincingly is to play it like Lemmy did. Watch some YouTube videos - he wasn't shy about demonstrating the differences between him and pretty much every other bass player! In a nutshell - loosen your right wrist, hit it hard and use your left hand to mute unwanted strings, including the thumb over the top technique for muting the E-string which tutors will all tell you not to do.

Don't pay too much, they seem to be strangely overrated at the moment. When I was learning bass around 30 years ago they were cheap, but alright. Now there is a growing belief that they were extremely high quality instruments which I don't think they deserve.

This is possibly the most interesting thread on here right now, and not that it were needed, proves beyond a doubt that we are all different! -

I like Infected Mushroom, quite often their tunes sound like classical heavy metal played on synths instead of guitars. I dabble in a bit of dj mixing..

That's interesting, I have always failed at singing and playing but have never tried using a pick. I must try it out... -

Isn't that the correct way to use one? -
The £450 Peavey Milestone. Seen it all now...
BreadBin replied to Bassassin's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
If only Peavey Milestones were ridiculously heavy - we could nickname them Millstones. -

I have really tried to make 3 fingers work - I can't stop it sounding like triplets. I have wide hands so there is a significant difference in the tone across the 3 as well. -

It's much easier to play fast and consistently with a plectrum, for me anyway.
