The best reviews should cover most styles/techniques.Like most I'm after how the bass performs. Not how there ego performs. But there needs to be a capable bass player playing. As usual with most things. Balance is everything. I've seen some amazing slap bass. But it's just slap, we don't all slap so it's not a bass review.

Pino Palladino easily imo. Could probably outplay most without breaking a sweat.

Ive seen Fender Classic 70's MIM's go for £400. New at £750 online. Ive been offered £800 for the Maruszczyk. The Maruszczyk is £1250 new now with this spec. There is imo a big difference in price I won't let my amp go for sentimental reasons. Plus its needs some electrical attention.

I can't hide from my financial situation, so i need to sell some gear. Ive sold my Cab, now it might be time to sell my bass. I'm looking for a great cheap Jazz Bass. I was looking for a TRB6 but I'm in the realm's of £400-500. Im thinking about the MIM 70s classic jazz. Does anyone own one.? It may be the case that i don't need to sell my Maruszczyk, but who knows. I am prepared for it as like someone said its only stuff. I have heard though that these Fender's are killer, and they have the 70's position pups. I don't mind going for a Squire but I'm not sure they do a 70's RI with that 70's pickup spacing.

No idea but that is very nice. Jabba,s are pretty amazing sounding. YouTube Marcus Miller playing one.

Out walking the dogs this morning with this cracking album on the i pod. The album is called Conspiracy. I went to see them in London supporting Jamiroquai. Fantastic band. Blew JK away imo. The bass player was incredibly funky [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iffj2J04C18[/media]

[quote name='GreeneKing' timestamp='1485333989' post='3223117'] I've owned many Yamaha TRB's. My 2nd bass was a Mk1 4 string and I've owned TRB4/5/6P's, Mk1's and Mk2's. I'd say that they rate well against the later models and I prefer the 34" scale of the Mk1 too. If you find a good one I'd say buy it. An itch left unscratched..... [/quote]I owned the 5 string version of the bass above but it had soap bars. I just wondered how the Jazz pickups faired.?

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1485304362' post='3223044'] I'm not sure I'd class Floyd as being classic, I put them under prog, which I do like a lot. [/quote]I know what you mean and i will let you off saying you wouldn't call Pink Floyd classic. They are a class act, its very special music but maybe not rock. Although there are some tracks that i might class as rock in the Pink Floyd catalogue.

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1485303838' post='3223040'] Bat out of hell is a particular one that gets me shouting at the radio if it comes on. Though I dislike pretty much anything that comes under the banner of 'classic rock'. [/quote]What like Led Zepplin and Pink Floyd.? Of course its not obligatory

Hey everyone.!!.. My name is Louis Walsh. Im a cock end.

Do i want to hear about the love these guys have for a girl, walking along a beach bare feet with a random couple of horses… No i really don't. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NrQei36fJk[/media]

Why.? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hy8kmNEo1i8

Does anyone own one of these.? Im after a bit of info on the first generation Yamaha TRB6 with the slap cut away. This is the instrument I'm talking about. What are they worth.? What are the Jazz pickups like.? and are they replaceable with the same pickups or with any other brand. What price might i pay for a very good example.. Im aware both the bridge and tuners might be tarnished being an older instrument, are they replaceable.? It would seem my musical circumstances have changed and the GAS is strong with this one. Thankyou for any info.

WOW.! Ive not seen these before. For me it looks very Sukop/MTD. What are the pickups/preamp etc Thomas.?

I don't think I would go for a custom build. It's not that I don't know what I want, but I know that builders like Sadowsky, Lakland etc know what there doing. And know alot more about bass the building guitars better than me. There are plenty of off the shelf amazing basses and options to keep me happy. You really have to know about what works for you with the different aspects of building a bass to get it perfect for yourself. Imo.

[quote name='timmo' timestamp='1485271793' post='3222659'] My wife wanted to go to a Westlife gig at the NEC. I bought 2 tickets and told her too take her mate. There was no chance I would go to that. I went to Lionel Richie though. I didn`t think I would enjoy it, but he was immense. Great bit of banter, and you could tell he is a seasoned professional [/quote] I would happily go to see Lionel Ritchie. Amazing talent and he was part of the amazing Commodore,s. Enough said.😊

The neck is probably worth that alone. I wouldnt mind seeing some more pics of this bass..hint hint, nudge nudge

It really wouldn't bother me what music my wife dragged me too. As long as it's played well. I draw the line at Westlife and Hard House though. Would she come to an Incognito or Funk gig.? Nope.
