My stock answer for this: There's dogs and diamonds in every era. '74-'80 can be a bit 'challenging'.

They're really pretty light - IMO, this and the Walkabout are the perfect balance of weight and full-fat tone.

I used it last night at a rehearsal before our run of gigs over the next couple of weeks, and it sounded beautiful. It's definitely a bit more aggressive than my 3TSB, so I've got a nice contrast there. The narrow neck and maple board is something I wasn't really used to, but I don't really think about them now - it just feels great.

Maruszczyk will build one for you for a very reasonable price...

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1449560930' post='2924562'] Following on from the Jaco thread... Rush are another band I have never heard. Any suggestions? I could do with something to listen to on the way home tonight... [/quote] It kinda depends what you're into - there's lots of Rushes. Moving Pictures or Permanent Waves would be a good start. But... if you like stuff a bit poppier / glossier, maybe Power Windows. Or if you like it heavier, go back to 2112. Proggier? A Farewell to Kings or Hemispheres. 80s new-wave? Signals. I can't recommend anything post-Counterparts, 'cos I don't really rate it. Plenty of people do, though.

[quote name='White Cloud' timestamp='1449523655' post='2924403'] As much as I love Rush I consider it a relief to be honest....their recent output turned me off. Knowing when its time to call it a day is all about timing - pardon the pun. [/quote] Yup. R40 is the first Rush release I haven't bought since I started following them in the late 80s. It just seems phoned in.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1449497160' post='2924016'] I don't take a band that was finished 45 yrs plus as a reference, tbh... just like I wouldn't dream of playing 'Come together' the same way. So, yes, I got over them eons ago.. whether that is sacriledge to some,..?? oh well...!! [/quote] Not you - I mean the entertainment industry as a whole. They still cast a huge shadow over it.

A game-changer - a true genius. Even so, I can't bear to listen to most of his recorded material.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1449490144' post='2923911'] Looks great, ... I need to know where it stands against an AM Deluxe.. [/quote] Chalk and cheese... I bought an Am Deluxe and sent it back. It felt tin-pot compared to the Jake. Both my Jakes are proper luthier-built quality. I can't fault them, or the other Jake I've tried.

[quote name='ians' timestamp='1449488535' post='2923880'] couldn't agree more....the angriest three note intro ever written. [/quote] And ironically referenced with a wink in the opening of the Genesis song in the previous post...

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1449480327' post='2923762'] Nothing wrong with that and he has a body of work that will last for many many more years but things move on. [/quote] But never 'on' enough to quite get over The Beatles.. which IMO speaks volumes.

I know, I know.. I'm so predicable. [url="http://public-peace.de/index.php/bass-guitars/maruszczyk/elwood/5-string/432-elwood-5p-3-tone-sunburst-custom110300"]But something like this[/url]? All for less than 800 quid, or maybe a bit more if you want something exactly to your spec.

A couple of my bands gig more often than not without a drummer. Generally, the audience come to terms with the fact there's no drummer there pretty quickly. We just do lots with dynamics and make sure it still swings and rocks a bit without a kit behind it. That said, the music can handle it. it's not like we're metal or anything.

Bee-yoot! And a 3/4 view of the sofa, too... you must be special :-)

Not sure about radius - you probably can - but definitely the other two.

[quote name='Fisheth' timestamp='1449433242' post='2923512'] Or mine Four weeks in and I'm getting tense... Do you get pictures of the build in progress through like with other builders or not? [/quote] Nope - just the sofa shot :-)

Maruszczyk. Just ridiculous value for money. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/254344-the-official-maruszczyk-club/

Hey hey hey It's the kind of weather that makes you want to stay in the house and make a video Caveats: The strings are fresh-out-of-the-packet flats, so they're zingy as hell (yeuch!), the whole thing was done in a hurry, and I still don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to recording and mixing my own bass. Apart form that.. errr.. it's OK. I'll do a video with rounds when I get a chance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFM3h7JaPvk

[quote name='Wolverinebass' timestamp='1449317077' post='2922505'] With respect, that's absolute rubbish. Nobody does everything well. If that's what you're saying, I think the possibility of seeing him try to solo like Stu Hamm or play in a progressive band like Tool, or slap like Mark King would be enough to dispel the thought that he can do everything well as I'd imagine it'd be a bit car crash. He does several things in the terms of playing well like most of us. But nobody, does everything "well." Not McCartney, Pastorious, Clarke, Jamerson, Entwistle, King or any other iconic bass player you can name can do everything well. They have their niche areas in which they excel (or not dependent on whether you like their style or even their music), but nobody is all things. McCartney isn't any different in that respect. I happen to like his playing, before anyone asks. [/quote] Calm down - I think Blue is a fan, that's all.

He's creative and pioneering - not just on the bass. He always thinks of the song, not just the bass part. Because of that, I can even forgive him for the bass part on 'Something' and his recent vocal scatting.

If we're specifically talking chords, then Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Or Hemispheres.

[quote name='Bass Culture' timestamp='1448986297' post='2919829'] WoT - what's the radius of the fingerboard? I'm awaiting mine for delivery towards the end of January but I never thought to check the radius before I pulled the trigger. Unless it's silly tight it won't be a problem but I do prefer something over 12" usually. [/quote] Oof... I wouldn't like to guess. It feels fairly standard if that helps?

Yep, the last few posts echo my thoughts. The S112's 'speak' more than any other cab I've owned (as does the S212 I also own).
