Count Bassy

I remember it well (Well, as well as I can I my age).

Come on, you don't expect me to read every post do you? 🙂 Must need the cash badly if he's happy to pay CC their cut.

Perhaps you'd prefer some cake?

I am amazed that anyone who legitimately owned any of those basses would consider selling to/through cash converters.

You might have warned us about the drum solo!!!!

Just that the stretches are much easier on the 32", especially if "Double stopping". Eg trying to play a classic twelve bar thing up at the 12th fret (ie playing the guitar part) - I can do it on a32", but really struggle on a 34 inch, but everything is jsut that bit easier wherever you are on the neck.

IMHO being old probably does make it vintage, but being vintage doesn't in itself make it good though.

Personally I find a very noticable difference between 32 & 34", much more that I expected. String wise D'addario, Warwick, Newtone, and I thing Rotosound make Medium scale strings, and I'm sure there are many others.

What floats my boat? - Beyoncé. No, hang on, .... I mean bouyancy.

IMHO His are the best & most useful reviews out there.

Brilliant bit of kit. Shame it doesn't have a compressor as one of the standard effects though.

Pardon?

If you haven't got one than a good wireless system. My wife got me the sony one a few years ago. Brilliant.

I thought it looked better before she painted it pink.

My shoes. Before you ask , I did have another pair with me, I didn't go home barefooted without noticing.

To be fair - that includes delivery.

Rather an old band, but was introduced to 'Little Feat', about a year ago and love their stuff. I'm of an age where I should have known them from my youth, but they somehow passed me by.

On the catalogue pricing being out of date thing, I've never seen that before with CPC so I guess they are covering themselves in these turbulent times (B word etc.)

I have a Yamaha THR10 which works very well (depending on the volume required). I've never used it on batteries, but I lent it someone for an outside/remote acoustic thing where they used the batteries and they said it was fine. It's not going to compete with a full drum kit, but was fine with a Cajon.

This.

I am trying to follow the philosophy of worry about things you can influence, e.g. your own band and your own playing, and not the things you can't i.e other peole bands and other peoples playing (and, yes Brexit).

Plus one on this. If you want to play things note perfect to the original (presuming there is only one version of the original), that's fine, join a band that wasnt the same thing. If someone else want's to play something slightly different than that's also fine. Most audiences would notice or care. I'm not actively playing at the moment but when I have done "All Right Now" I've not played bass in the verse for the first two, but sometimes put something in the verse after the solo, as a way to build it up a bit. Re the solo in this song, does the gutarist include the guitar bit before the bass joins in or not? - Free recorded it did it both ways, so which is correct?

When you say quiet, do you mean completely silent?, and does it come back in with a big Crack/thump, i.e. not just the bass coming back. If so I have exactly the same problem with my DBS7400. On mine I suspect a dry joint or loose connection somewhere, but I've not looked at it yet.

Just got to say that(IMHO) Ed Freidland does the best bass & Gear demos/reviews out there.
