[quote name='visog' timestamp='1486063957' post='3229006'] We've had a thread on this: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/258272-semi-acoustic-sixes/page__p__2752507__hl__thundercat__fromsearch__1#entry2752507 And moreover it was located properly under Bass Guitars. No worse a crime than failing to post in the relevant category. [/quote]I like to think of it as a crossover post.

[quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1486054131' post='3228882'] Reminds me of Patituci's Yamaha acoustic 6. [/quote]I love that. Im not sure my ribs and arm would say the same.

Apart from the guys amazing talent on the bass and his music. I really dig this six string. At first i thought it was an Ibanez, but I'm not sure. Maybe a custom Ibanez semi acoustic.?. Is it an Artcore.? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVqETCMg3SA[/media]

Am I missing something.? It just looks like a black P bass with some red on it and a black headstock. Whilst saving money and not glossing the bass. One of the more pointless exercises from Fender,s marketing team.

Imagine if they had a MOWO.[quote name='PaulGibsonBass' timestamp='1485873618' post='3227388'] The whole Brit / Grammy award thing is all about making money on the pretext of honouring artists. Personally I hate the idea of music awards. Best band, best album, says who? Music's not a competition. [/quote] No its not. But its just a vote, and doesn't mean its the best. Its just TV, everyone will watch it , go home and not be influenced by whats best on a TV award ceremony. You like what you like. You don't need an award show to tell you that. Like you said its all about money. Just like the charts. Do i think that a lot of artists are worthy of recognition.? Yes i do.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1485862447' post='3227223'] I wonder how many Maruszczyk owners didn't need a new bass until they saw other people's sofa shots of something colourful and pretty, and thought... That's what marketing is all about, and Fender just seem to be rubbish at it. [/quote] I agree. But like someone else has said it comes down to cost at mass production. People will still buy them though. I think that's the difference. I'm not sure they really care about the customer as much as Adrian Maruszczyk does. I do wonder if he could mantain his quality and options if he were as big as Fender.?

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1485600277' post='3225169'] How many people are running a passive only EQ on their amps with these passive basses? [/quote]Arent we talking passive basses.Not passive amps.It's a given that the amp has an EQ and an active circuit. But the bass itself is still passive. Good point though.

I'm more baffled by there website. Very confusing. Missing colours,missing basses.

Mike Post I believe. Love the song. Work it out by ear.

I don't think a flatter radius makes any difference to how low you can get the action.

[quote name='Mcgiver69' timestamp='1485632848' post='3225511'] From that episode I think this is my favourite tune [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Igkyajvrm-8[/media] [/quote]Boz Scaggs is a huge favourite of mine. He sung backing vocals with Micheal Mcdonald on a lot of Steely Dan records. His guitar playing with Steve is great.

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1485630809' post='3225496'] Brilliant, isn't it. THere's a few good versions from Daryl's House. This one's awesome too... [media]http://youtu.be/GoXxdObGKuI[/media] [/quote] Yep. fantastic!! I think that is possibly the best one with Cee Lo.. Thankyou buddy.

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1485613226' post='3225317'] Slap doesn't tell you anything about the sound of the bass, other than how it sounds when it's slapped. When was the last time you heard slap bass on a contemporary recording on the radio ? In all my years of gigging I've only ever had to play it on one song, that was car wash. I hate slap bass. We had to do various slap things at uni as exam things, Frankenstein being one. I absolutely hated them. [/quote]Oh that word Hate is harsh, but I'm sure I've used it before so i get how you might feel.. Its just another technique. Yes it can be annoying, but there are great examples depending on the player. There are a few pop records that the bass player slaps on. I will agree that Dan Veal's playing is great and i love his level headed reviews. i don't think its good to dismiss a technique. Not all bass players use there ego when there playing slap. "Slap doesn't tell you anything about the sound of the bass, other than how it sounds when it's slapped" isn't that the point.?
