Am i missing something. I havent read the whole thread properly so do correct me. My definition of choking a note, is because the string at some point along the neck is too close to the frets. Of course there is a buzz you get, but depending on the relief of the neck and also the trueness and levelling of the frets, one will get a few choked notes. A super low action will go past the buzzing point and choke a note/s.? A higher action will let the strings vibrate.? I really dont think pickup height has anything to do with it.

Whats everyones definition of choking.?

I prefer the neck on a Maruszczyk to a 5 string Fender. It was like a Lakland 55. Much more comfortable for me. Lets not forget you can specify your neck with a Maruszczyk. So its a mute point. The biggest deal i found is with a Maruszczyk in particular, your getting a high end bass, for way less money than a high end Fender. Fender are riding on there name to certain extent.

Thanks for the info Danny.. That has helped my decision..

Well are they a warm sounding amp.? They seem to be relatively inexpensive. Just wondering about the quality.. Also i see them at GAK for £640 and then at Thomann for £385.?? Same amp.?

Anyone own one, any knowledge about this lightweight amp.?

They will always be my desert island band. They just seem to mix the music i love, so well. Some great stuff(if your a SD geek like me) on these recordings. excuse the sound, on the later parts of the vid. they are out takes of course. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2g21SnPXOTg[/media]

The host is just awful. At the end, Marcus is not sure what to make of this guy and then the hosts gets emotional after his wonderful singing. Bizarre. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edWJ7Esngaw

I'm sick of male chickens like this. Really put me off trying to form a band of any talent or great laid back attitude . I would much rather jam, then I know I can have fun, but be able to walk away. That, and most of the bands are Rock tributes.

When someone in music dies it's very sad of course . But I always think, I've got there music as long as I live. And that is Walter,s legacy.

sh*t!!!!!!!!!!!! One of my musical heroes. Any one know how he passed. ?

I dig that big time.! Very cool.

i think this is just fantastic. Tom Barney's bass playing is just...The horn section.. Jon Herringtons guitar solo is just epic. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1VKLM04Dgg[/media] if its not Incognito its Steely Dan

Micheal Manson does this so well on that Roscoe. I love the fact that bass can be used in this way. The bass is so versatile.. The bass player playing on the bottom has just some f***ing amazing playing going on. . As has the Pianist. As has the drummer. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjXDbmGwBLE[/media]

[quote name='timhiggins' timestamp='1503160343' post='3356151'] One of the funkiest players on the planet ,i like his playing on 'Joy to the world ' even more but i'm sure that some fool will be along soon to point out where he's going wrong i wonder what it will be this time ' overplaying ' ' timing issues ' !! [/quote]i dare them. but seriously beauty is in the eye. Hes a cracking groove player though. Joy To the World is amazing Tim.
