I’ve been using mine a lot and its never failed yet, I’ve been using my Hohner B2A for playing on the sofa because it’s a bit smaller than the fenders ,and I got a short extension lead which works great because the jack is on the bottom of the body and it doesn’t get squashed , this also sounds great in active mode

Really nice, congrats , I bought a hohner B2A to see if I like the body shape with the intention of buying one of those but I haven’t got around to getting one yet

it looks great, I think you got yourself a good one there Rob, congrats, I hovered over will’s number a few times but I’m holding out for something else at the moment , nice one

Yeah same for me, no problem really

Think mine had purple silk but maybe different gauges have different colours

They aren’t TI’s , the silks are the same colour but yours look very smooth whereas TI’s are not

I only use flats and I found the chromes quite high tension compared with the labella’s I normally play, also very bright sounding, good if your looking for that sound but they wasn’t for me

Welcome William

Welcome Martin

It would be a nice match, good luck rob

Will has got a nice 73 jazz in at the moment, I’m holding out for a maple and black block one but it’s quite tempting , few dings in the neck though https://bassbros.co.uk/product/1973-fender-jazz-bass-4/

He might subject you to lots of Jazz noodling videos if you did 😬😁

He does sometimes 🙂

I’d rather listen to Little Mix greatest hits than jazz noodling 😁

It definitely works in some situations, I’ve been a joiner for 35 years and it’s used regularly in the joinery shop Not something I would do it would probably tear the neck pocket wood

That’s a really good one to play , I used MarloweDK’s video when I was learning it , he breaks it down well

Not sure if you’ve had a look but there’s some serious funk in the ,Soul funk and groove thread, might take you a while there’s about 49 pages, but probably worth skimming it and save the ones you like

Good Bassline on this

Good thread rob, I enjoy playing a bit of funk, anything by Chic, kool and the gang, earth wind and fire, James Brown, I think people will know, there might be a few suggestions here from a few years back that are of some use to you

Yeah they really sound similar don’t they, more than the other brothers I think , stephen has got some great songs and watching many videos he performs great live, Chris Meredith was his bass player who unfortunately died last year , Chris played with all the top reggae artists and others over the years including Gregory isaacs and Dennis Brown etc

Having a Gregory isaacs day today revisiting lots of tracks I haven’t listened to in a while and saving the ones to play along to , my list is growing 😁

Yeah he does seem a nice guy although I don’t watch many of his videos and he’s also a member here, I’ve seen some of Ian’s videos and he’s a fantastic player

Nice, and the best colour scheme too imo
