Total Watts

  1. Shame he doesn't allow walk-ins to try stuff out first. I'm only up the road from him in north London as well.That's what he told me when I last contacted him.
  2. This is what's great about having such choices. I'm the COMPLETE reverse of this. Totally into Warwicks and have two.No Spector I've tried has made me want to reach for my wallet. Not that that helps you. Just rambling
  3. https://folkiesmusic.co.uk/collections/bass-guitars/products/ibanez-btb1835-ntl-premium-pre-owned Being London-based I tried this exact bass. Extremely comfortable to play with no sharp edges anywhere digging into the body.
  4. If you play the 1 6 2 5 and it sounds good then the answer is yes in my books regardless of whether the other musicians play it or not.
  5. Now I want to know if Sting ever gigged a Stingray
  6. Slower than Fender?
  7. Based on the role of bass and there's no denying Jaco's talent,I'm not sure his style of playing as impressive as it was was what bass needed. Looking at what came before during and after I dare to suggest that James Jamerson's style of playing was more "useful" to bass and popular music in general. As controversial as that may sound. Just to clarify that I'm not a Jaco hater. Jamerson was an influence for Jaco and I can see why.
  8. Erm...from a Jazz Bass?
  9. The emoji at the end of my sentence is a clue? Anyway it's funk all to you but to some individuals it will matter.
  10. Count yourself lucky if it's "only" 10lbs. The one I mentioned that I tried in Andertons felt like it was at least 11 🤞
  11. Very true about the ATK as I owned two in the past. Completely nailed the Stingray sound to my ears. It's not that Yamaha wouldn't shift any of these units if they were produced but the market isn't exactly short of Stingray-type clones. I guess they must have their reasons why they haven't.
  12. I THINK I can see why this didn't go into production based on the failure of the Fender Dimension to gain traction. Stingray fans will nearly always go for an actual Stingray. What we want our favourite brands to be can nearly always be found elsewhere in my experience 🙂
