Kelly Jones has always been jealous of Matt Bellamy hence why he is a bumhole. Wouldn't have put Slash down has a t***. Maybe Axl?

Huh? What does that mean?

Ian Watkins you mean... (not H from Steps!)

I wouldn't have seen WASP has long as Chris Holmes was in the band.

I preferred SIT Silencers to be honest.

And what a great song it is too.

Again, nothing. I won't speak for all bass players but it's the way slapping is used to 'test' a bass in a shop or at a guitar show. The whole look at me, I can slap really fast. It's not an accurate demonstration of what the bass can really do.

Small bump. I have a chance to get a Cutlass at a great price and wanted to hear from owners their thoughts on the bass?

Fender Snot Special Precision.

I think it's best if you go back to Talkbass if that's going to be your attitude.

I could buy a Sandberg blind and be pretty confident that I would be getting an excellent instrument.

To be fair, Gibson haven't really been known for their QC the last few years.

I don't recall seeing a Music Man with a BFTS. The reason I asked was because I remember playing a mate's MTD KZ4 which had the BFTS and he tried to explain it to me. The bass was fantastic to play but this whole tuning system scared the crap out of me. He was talking about being tuned slightly sharp, setting witness points at the bridge, buying a specific tuner etc. etc.

No tort?! Disgraceful.

But price doesn't reflect quality... I could buy a Fodera but it wouldn't make me a better player. Any bass over £1k (roughly) can't really improve that much quality wise. The money goes into more exotic woods, high end preamps etc. Also, what if he decides that the bass isn't for him and guitar or drums or something else is more to his liking? That £1500 bass will probably return you £1k tops.

Any ideas on how this works? I've done a ton of research into it this morning but am still no closer in how to tune and intonate the bass using one of these systems.

Pretty outdated joke that shouldn't pass for humour now.

Thought that might be the case. Although, I don't like going on the scales in general...

These are pretty good: https://www.allegromusic.co.uk/shop/pickups/entwistle-pbx-p-bass-nickel-pole-piece-pickup/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-_T025Ci6QIVg4TICh30gQXEEAkYASABEgKWC_D_BwE Though the Neodymium version is even better... but now rare as hens teeth!

Is weighing yourself and then weighing yourself holding a bass not the best idea then?

Here's something to cure your GAS. Say you get furloughed or let go. The wages stop coming in. Can't eat a bass, can you?

Couldn't agree more!

Fricking hell, you might has well be in France!
