    I love my Newtone platinum strings, all round core nickel plated, on my 4 and 5 string basses. They sound and feel great. Jonny

    I like it, has some nice alterations too...I was expecting a PJ stock as is. Pleasantly surprised with the spec. Looks and sounds good. Keanu seemed really nice and un assuming. Jonny

    Lovely looking bass. I love the recurve shape, my favourite of the ACG shapes…

    Good luck with the audition. My thoughts are, if these things arent permanent (I dont know enough to know) then its down to how much you want to be in the band. If its not permanent then if you feel comfy go for it. Is it any different to changing your hair, clothes, gear for a gig? not really. If its permanent and thisis a dream gig, its your call. Its a entertainment industry after all. Enjoy. Jonny

    To be honest, its more my irrational fear of being interrupted and not getting back to finish the nails... Jonny
  14. jonnybass
    I clip my nails every 7 days. Both hands, right hand first, just in case I cant finish at least my picking hand is done Jonny

    Which is how I have heard of Charles, Davey504(not sure thats right) and Danny Sapko, watched half of a davy504 reel and it was really not my thing. I haven't watched any more, when they come up I don't watch them, as I know its not my thing. Watched a couple of Charles B ones, his, I don't mind. Jonny

    As the article Lowdown posted shows, Spotify pay less that the other platforms mentioned, in some cases 50% less, I'd say that backs up not my feeling that they aren't paying their fair share. $0.005 for 1,000,000's of streams would be plenty, and you have a bigger chance of that if you market yourself well. Jonny

    Cheers for this, good article, it does state that Spotify pays less than the other streaming platforms. Which i think backs up my not fair share, and I didnt even have to ask Karen and Dave on facebook

    Sorry I cant agree with "has done more for music than anyone else" more than the inventor of any recording media/equipment? Leo fender? Any artist who has innovated and created a style? nope, he's a distributor, thats it, very successful but just a distributor. In 100 years will remember spotify or him? I wouldnt think so, they might have an electric guitar, a john coltrane album on some format and maybe even an antique collection of CD's though. There is no doubt he's facilitated people hearing new bands but he's also IMO not paying a fair share, so these people may end up in an unsustainable business model. John

    Genuine question, If people dont like something, why watch it? There are things on youtube I know I wont like, there are short videos I know I wont like, so i don't watch them. I have watched a couple of videos by Charles and Danny, decided I don't mind Charles, not too into Danny (doesn't mean I think theres a problem with Dannys content btw) but I don't feel the need to watch things I know will annoy me then post about how annoyed I am on the internet. Anyone who is making a living from music is doing great and fair play to them, except the dude that owns spotify...cos that doesn't feel like a fair split of money Jonny

    Hiya!
  21. jonnybass
    At times when the forum debates guys like Charles or Davy504 or Danny Sapko i wonder if Im just from a different generation. The way i see these guys is they are related to music in the same way the football freestylers my son watches on youtube are related to pro footballers winning the euros/world cup. Its a related but slightly different thing, i wouldnt want these football keepy uppy guys playing upfront for my team, but i'd happily watch a 6 minute video where they use only their left ankle to knock the ball over the goalies head. Like wise i can watch these youtube videos, admire the technique and skill, but I'd rather stick on a nice jazz album I got from the record shop that listen to it with my morning coffee. As a day job for a bass player (i have no idea if these guys do much in the way of what we'd think of as traditional bass playing) it seems like a bloomin good one to me. Fair play and Im all for them. Jonny

    I had always just assumed he was inept when it came to running a business/building instruments. turns out there are more areas where he's lacking Jonny

    Done, hopefully this works better. Jonny

    Hi everyone, up for sale is my very rare Status Electro 3 bass. Graphite neck, rosewood fingerboard, mahogany body with rosewood top. Magnetic pickup and Piezo. Factory fitted D tuner on the e string as well. Thomastik flats on it at the moment. I have owned since new, built in 2004 I think but tbh i havent played it in a band setting for a long time, and there is a bass on here i really like the look of so its up for sale. Comes with the Status hiscox hard case. Sounds great just as a fretless should, with the addition of sounding quite uprighty should the need arise (i used to use it in a jazz piano trio and it sounded fab through my Phil Jones Briefcase. Theres a small scratch on the bottom horn (no idea how it happened) and when it was delivered there was a crack in the resin covering the graphite, this was repaired by Rob and he assured me ( and the alomst 20 years since) has shown its not structural. I may be open to trades, I'm a massive ACG fan, and I've always loved P basses but drop me a DM if you have an interesting bass I might be tempted. Price excludes delivery. Any questions just ask. Jonny

    oh wow, what a stunner. I had a TRB6p (Mk1) heavy bass but the neck was so great to play...keep thinking of getting another six and the TRB6 is always the one I think about. Jonny
