  1. I use GRBass AT212 slim. Very detailed sound, works well with a five string. Very efficient so very loud, even with a modest amp. Insanely loud with a big amp.
  2. Went to a local gig last night, was expecting it to be very quiet. A friend's new venture Nearly Steely (nine piece + new guitarist, guess what they play), their fourth gig, and it was packed at half eight. Usually the club has only half a dozen or so before 9. By the end of the night it was totally rammed.
  3. Bit like depping... except with a dep they have to take what they get (especially if the first time is a gig...)
  4. Hah! Didn't notice your comment, just clicked John Martyn without thinking and thought 'Danny Thompson!" so distinctive. Can't believe I've never heard this album. CD ordered!
  5. Yep, any opportunity to play with someone new is an opportunity to stretch yourself a bit.
  6. Every bass with its strap, and to every strap, a bass.* Unless it's a guitar, uke, banjo or mandolin.
  7. Late to this, but electronic components are almost univerally waterproof if they are not powered up. Dry it out and it should recover.
  8. When they came out I very nearly bought one, found them nice to play and distinctive.
  9. I've got a rack case that's 1/3 full with a 1200W pa amp and an 8 channel mic mixer. I was going to put a graphic and a compressor/processor in it, but that would make it immovable 😞
  10. Dave Pegg's tone on Broadsword and the Beast.
  11. Their clip tuners (Fender colour and Daddario Eclipse) are identical aside from packaging. I have one of each. I believe they make Fender strings.
  12. Flea Jazz. Unlike most signature basses it offers an excellent value way to get a vintage style and sounding bass. Good enough that I won't be buying an AVII Jazz anytime soon, despite having an AVII Precision.
  13. They look like rather run-of the mill quality 3D prints to me. Easy to knock my own up with a couple of scavenged sucker cups if I wanted such a thing, but I am a tug-bar fan (decorative purposes only).
  14. Getting pretty deep into those jazz chords...
  15. Because all the guitar making loonies are casting bodies in concrete or embedding litter and lego in epoxy resin to make boat anchors.
  16. https://www.dailystar.co.uk/real-life/people-wear-same-pair-socks-32305152
  17. You haven't read the rest of the thread yet have you? 😁
  18. I hear distant overtones of Pink Floyd's Seamus.
  19. Sounds like a ship in fog...
  20. The problem is the technical ability required to play it is rather obscured by it sounding like a near-random sequence of notes to the uninitiated.
