Versatile is much preferable.

Very nice.

I'm happy with what I've got ... but I'll take the Funk Machine.

[quote name='bigjohn' post='886523' date='Jul 5 2010, 05:51 PM']I've never seen a band busking with electric bass. Have you?[/quote] Yes, quite a few, both in Brighton and London.

[quote name='Major-Minor' post='892303' date='Jul 11 2010, 09:38 PM']The stack is a Park. A UK company I believe.[/quote] I think Park were actually rebranded Marshalls, although I can't recall why that would have happened. Very nice Jazz bass.

[quote name='Tee' post='888603' date='Jul 7 2010, 04:04 PM']agreed and don't forget 'Stunning'[/quote] .. and plays like butter ...

Many basses are not at all aesthetically pleasing. Exactly the same is true of guitars.

[quote name='Mickeyboro' post='886529' date='Jul 5 2010, 05:56 PM']My point was - I wouldn't play a guitar they'd taken my name off! Would you? Edit: My pint was....[/quote] I always play basses they've taken my name off ... or was that a dream?

[quote name='Mickeyboro' post='886487' date='Jul 5 2010, 05:20 PM']I thought Lakland had stopped doing his anyway?[/quote] It's just a name change - now it's a Lakland 44-64.

[quote name='goblin' post='886467' date='Jul 5 2010, 05:10 PM']I've got a VW... does that count as it's still VAG? [/quote] No, a VW is only a copy of a Skoda, it's not the real thing.

[quote name='Conan' post='886264' date='Jul 5 2010, 01:30 PM']Wasn't there a similar thread to this a few weeks ago?[/quote] Probably, there usually is. [quote name='Conan' post='886264' date='Jul 5 2010, 01:30 PM']But then again, I drive a Skoda - so what do I know?! [/quote] Me too. Can't beat them.

[quote name='cytania' post='885502' date='Jul 4 2010, 03:05 PM']Any idea what gear Wood used?[/quote] With the Jeff Beck Group he'd been playing a Fender Telecaster bass with the single coil pickup. I'd guess it might be that on Maggie May.

[quote name='theosd' post='883111' date='Jul 1 2010, 03:58 PM']Only downside is we're on at the exact same time as one Bob Dylan.[/quote] Very good luck with that but I'm sorry to say I'll be checking out Bob.

[quote name='silentbob' post='883457' date='Jul 1 2010, 09:48 PM']Just had a look at the Pyramid range, are the Gold's not, er, gold?[/quote] No, that's just the name of the string.

[quote name='silentbob' post='882626' date='Jul 1 2010, 12:49 AM']Hi, does anybody know of a gold coloured flatwound string.[/quote] I've tried most flatwounds and I can't recall coming across any gold ones. Not what you're looking for I know but Pyramid Black Nylon Flats have gold coloured silk wraps.

Truly dreadful.

[quote name='doctorbass' post='875921' date='Jun 23 2010, 10:24 PM']Disco Inferno bassman is Ronnie Baker who was most definitely a flats user. He always went for the thickest, fattest bass sound he could get - flats, foam mutes, gaffer tape over the strings at the bridge, the works. A true BASS man! He was also a producer and apparently a real tough guy to work for.[/quote] I read somewhere that Ronnie Baker also put butter on the old flats on his Precision bass for yet more fatness. I haven't listened to it in a while but doesn't Disco Inferno have a clavinet or something doubling the bassline?

[quote name='redstriper' post='875952' date='Jun 23 2010, 10:43 PM']My favourites are TI jazz flats - easy to play with more mwaah than many other flats.[/quote] +1

Blimey, is this still on its travels?
