[quote name='DanH71' timestamp='1499356559' post='3330999'] So to be more specific with the 'kind' of sound I'm after (and I know it's not just dependent on pups) here is a clip. At around 3:05 is the sound I would like to lean towards. [url="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=S326s46zmjA"]https://m.youtube.co...h?v=S326s46zmjA[/url] Any passive barts for j bass that someone can suggest? [/quote] Do you just want a Jaco tone.?

http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Bartolini_Pickups_J.html Gives a good description of each pickup. I had some 59J,s I put in a Maruszczyk Jazz and they sounded really nice. I would probably go for single coil Bartolini's now.

[quote name='Graham' timestamp='1499189539' post='3329842'] If you want it slimmer, why not consider getting a luthier to shave it down? [/quote]Good point.

Warwick do supply necks only. But they are expensive. There was a guy on Talkbass who bought one for $850. That was back in 2009. Better to talk to a John Shuker or another great luthier

Easy. Nile Rodgers guitar solo on Chic,s Saviour Faire. It's sublime.

its 6/8 Should the drum teacher maybe know this.?

Has anyone played one of these quilted top Jazz basses. 4 or 5.?

They could have put a CS in there but im nitpicking [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Mo1tY-abAg[/media]

I would rather have heard him actually talk about the basses than showcasing his playing

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1498492025' post='3324989'] The way he stains when stood at the microphone he looks like he's permanently trying to 'push one out'...and that's what he sounds like as well. I could never understand how he was rated as a vocalist. He struck lucky that his brother could pen a decent tune, that said, I've never liked Oasis or that whole Britpop thing, couldn't abide it. I did catch the Liam Gallagher set on the Beeb, it was dire. [/quote]Ha " The way he stains" unintentional excellence

How does your ear learn to "understand" music.? was it the lyrics.?

The headstock is different.

[quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1498218472' post='3323185'] Never heard of Schick... Sure it wasn't Schack? http://schack-guitars.de/ [/quote]Schack are/were German weren't they

My Hercules broke at the adjustment, i emailed them and they sent me a new one free of charge. There is a thread about the stands and there replacement policy. I had had the old one for 5 years. !!

I suspect he probably knows something we dont.

I do like nickels but I find they take away some of the single coil sound/magic.
