  1. When I was listening to clips of the VI (because of GAK's ad for one at £600) I was thinking that it didn't have any of the BB style upfront tone that usually catches my ear, but was more subtle, and very classy. How that would sound with a J pickup added and 4 inches lost.... 🤷‍♂️ This was the best demo of one I think on a image search there might be a catalogue page or two online of the VI and VIs and VII etc. But I think it was in Japanese.
  2. I think I recall when looking up the VI a couple of weeks ago seeing that there was a VIs as well, tho I cant remember if it was 32" or 30"
  3. If that's a VIIs, will it be a short scale?
  4. 🎶 ....I can take about an hour on the tower of power, so long as I gets.... 🎶 - wha- oh, that's not what you mean? Ah. Never mind, ignore me.
  5. Basso Profondo is the Italian term for a solo bass singer who has not only solid low notes, but also a heavy, dark tone throughout their range. Of my two Yamahas, I would only dare let one of them have that title. In Russian choral music, the basso profundos have extraordinarily deep voices, lower than a cello. I think I can hear 5 stringers clearing their throats at the thought of a 4 string with standard tuning being permitted that title
  6. The Bass Gallery would like £995 for this please. A lot less than what a mid 60s P would cost, I guess, but still an awful lot more than sod all 😊
  7. This made me wonder, has anyone attempted the Tornado of Souls solo on bass? Of course they have:
  8. That seems to have gone already
  9. The instruments you receive are as random as the cards you're dealt? 😕
  10. At my funeral, Commando by The Ramones is to be played just before the coffin is carried out, all 95 seconds of it. I wonder if the mourners will like it any better than ye goodly folk of this thredde?
  11. Another Brick In The Wall is quite catchy, but apart from that, I'm with Johnny Rotten
  12. When I was 15, playing with a band to an audience for the first time, just before I stepped on stage the bottom E string of my guitar literally unravelled. Since I was on the higher guitar parts, playing the set with only 5 strings wasn't the end of the world, but my half of memories of that performance are of jumping back and forth, playing whatever needed transposing up an octave. Yeugh.
  13. I was really confused when I realised what guitar was used in this performance
  14. Calling themselves Bonnie Prince Charlie would be an unfunny joke that no one would get, but it's the best I can do 😬
  15. If one bassist satiates, is a group of bassists a redundancy?
  16. My understanding of Grunge covers Superfuzz Bigmuff and not much else 😁 Musically, ramshackle but still compelling, it should sound like you're glad you can't smell it.
  17. Should anyone care, and I'm very dubious that anyone does, as far as I can tell from checking more photos, the pickups on the 434 are in the same spots as on the 424 / 2024, so the split is again slightly neckward compared with a P.
  18. I only knew to check that, because I once said exactly the same thing in a similar situation and had the same thing pointed out to me Just looking at that bass ^^^^ I didn't truly believe it was actually in the same spot until I saw the guide lines in place.
  19. Friend said, "it's like an album cover from a past-their-best rock musician who's made a soft blues album"
  20. I'm never going to come to terms with the fact that Yamaha dropped orange for the 424. The absence of a Precision-y noise from the neck pickup doesn't bother me, as I bought it for the sound of both pickups together. Perhaps that slight extra bassyness from placing the split a tiny bit closer to the neck was felt to give a better balance when the two are mixed together? At any rate, it does it for me.
  21. I was wondering why the split pickup on my 424 never makes a noise that reminds me of Precision, it seems more straightforwardly bassy. Turns out it's about a quarter of an inch near the neck. I'm going to take that as the explanation. 🤷‍♂️
  22. I think the fretboard going to 24 frets is giving the wrong impression as to where the neck pickup is
