Take a drive over and choose one?! Si

Fender! I've genuinely never played a Fodera where i've thought 'Wow this is sooooo much more amazing', gigged Fenders all my life and get great tone and super reliability. I did play Molan's early 90's (I think) Fodera though and that was cool! Si

Hi all, Some of you may recall I posted some studio shot videos we did for Superstition, This Love & Can't Buy Me Love, if not check them out here: [url="http://www.youtube.com/user/MilesPringBand/videos"]http://www.youtube.c...ringBand/videos[/url] The general feedback for those videos has been very positive, but there's always those odd-bods who say things like "They sound a bit too good" & "Looks too expensive"...eugh, so in an effort to cater for those people, we recorded some live songs (as opposed to studio-tracked) and shot similar videos, with less video takes etc. The videos are still composites, although not to such a desgree as the original three vids, but the tracks are completely live save for some tiny levels mixing and mastering.

Wow, a bit odd. Whenever anyone has phoned me for lessons, I've always spent at least 5mins on the phone asking about what they are looking to get out of it before even talking about a date/time. Live & learn I guess, vet the next a bit more Good luck. Si

What model is that? Si

There's nothing on Youtube. I have one in Bass Player from a few years ago, I'll try and dig it out......and fine someone with a scanner?! lol Si

Here are my 3 (plus '71 Precision) Left to Right: 2003 USA Standard, 2009 USA Standard 5, 1973 w/flats [url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/849/23118810150185324877091.jpg/"][/url] Si

I can't get enough of the new Puscifer album at the moment, 'Conditions Of My Parole': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_G5BNRnJiLw&feature=player_embedded You may recognise the singer....although if you do, you'll probably already know about Puscifer Si

See I don't think Groove can be defined or quantified personally, different people feel different things. To me, this grooves like an absolute biz-nitch...yet there's no discernible bass part, and the drums are programmed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_G5BNRnJiLw Noice Si

Stealth!! Si

You can of course downtune like that, but E down to C will generally sound pants IMO, any low frequesncy will probably just choke out through sloppy action, you won't gain anything over simply playing a standard octave C on the E string (8th fret), that generally sounds pretty fatter compared to a C on the A string (3rd fret). Again, considering it's for one song, I'd just get an Octave pedal, which is easily implemented into other songs too. Si

I spent four years in a touring band playing in Drop C standard (what you're talking about), I had two basses setup specifically in that tuning, with higher tension strings so i did have high action and sloppy strings etc. This is obviously a bit above what you require, If you don't want to restring your 5er, I'd just get an octave pedal (always useable, so not a waste of cash in my eyes) and play it in standard tuning.

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1326153557' post='1493201'] Erm - I think we have to call them 'vocal backing artistes' these days... [/quote] There's a 'Greater Tit' joke there somewhere, but Wooten wouldn't approve! Si

I'm not sure it goes deeper than that for me....It's not a deep act on my behalf, it's not something I have to think about. It's something that brings me happiness because it allows me to achieve a little better those elements I listed, they should be a big part of everyones life. Why it is through a musical means and not another means I can't explain....I suspect that the mystery is part of the allure Si

Creation, Community & interaction Si

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1326152000' post='1493180'] That if you sit in a field full of sheep and decide not to go 'baaaaa' you end up hearing an awful lot of bleating... [/quote] But of course, if every sheep decided not to bleat...they might hear the birds sing Si

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1326151828' post='1493173'] TBH, the loss of finances and time was the source of my misery [/quote] Ah money ruins art once more Si

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1326151557' post='1493165'] I have too. It invariably leads to misery and disappointment, and time and financial loss, as you attempt to repoint your brickwork with dogshit. [/quote] Perhaps your approach is off? Is it not true that at the very least.....you learn how you don't like something to be?!, and as such, feel appreciative that someone else's journey (that you don't like) has enabled you to learn something about yourself.
