    I dunno. Sounded like several people I know!!

    . . . . and don't forget World Wars 3 and 4. . . . A depressing thought, but you are probably right. Never underestimate the human race's ability to screw up and s**t in their own nest.

    AI is a logical extension of everything that's gone before. Doesn't make it right. We are storing up a lot of "Big Brother" type trouble for future generations.

    IMO unless you have a particularly wide span, you shouldn't be trying to use one finger per fret at the nut end of the bass. There are a few threads discussing this.

    Same here.

    5 string! She’s started off in the right direction.

    Yep. Par for the course. Same happened to me twice last year. Same band leader for both bands and same behaviour. Some guys are just A-holes!!

    Use a second amp for the second cab and daisy-chain the amps.

    I'd love someone to go back and remix all those 80's etc songs so the drum tracks actually sound like real drums again. I'm sure it would improve every track.

    I've been told by a bass playing friend that I make my PJ5 and Jazz basses sound very similar. Sorted!!

    I've played Knebworth. A few years ago, Knebworth House, one of the Barns, great gig.

    Playing bass is what I do. Playing in a good band to an enthusiastic audience is the biggest buzz I've discovered so far. That never gets old. Even playing in an average band to 3 men and a dog is pretty OK, as long as I'm with a good drummer. You don't retire, you stop when the phone stops ringing.

    Beautiful bass. How light?

    Utterly mad. . . . !!!

    This. Since Covid I've managed to reduce some of my back problems by regular daily workouts. I'm working on all muscle groups, rebuilding muscle mass and strength. Unfortunately, all my good work is being undone by an arthritic hip which doesn't respond to any treatment other than pain killers!

    They put pets in the holds of planes, and Alex exports his cabs around the world with no problems. But why are you asking us? Ask the airline, any airline.

    Probably this, but with Thomann's buying power, in the music industry, they should be able to require the weight of the bass be included on the final check list.

    I always used Fender hard cases until I switched to gig bags, so have never owned or used a Hiscox case, but it is always very sad news when companies supporting musicians stop trading.

    Me, I'm 48. . . . I wish I was!!!

    I use an Aguilar TH500 for my passive PJ5 with flats and an AG700 for my active Jazz with rounds. IMO they compliment the sound of those basses.

    Deep bass just gets in the way. Listen to any record and the bass guitar should be renamed low-mid guitar.

    I too was on Bassworld for awhile and signed up for Basschat on 17th May 2007. I remember thinking why would anyone sit in front of a terminal and post about playing bass! Ho hum!!!
  24. chris_b
    Buy a better Jazz bass. I've been a P bass guy since I first saw John McVie with John Mayall in the 60's. It's always been my preference, but I also love the sound of my Jazz bass. It is different, but my Sadowsky can take on any P bass for tone.

    Beautiful
