looks a bit like a Klein bass gone wrong . . . .not that Klein basses look particularly right or anything [url="http://www.ebay.de/itm/Steve-Klein-K-Bass-Fretless-Headless-RARE-/190614735634?pt=Gitarren&hash=item2c61860b12"]http://www.ebay.de/i...=item2c61860b12[/url]

I'd be happy to put some stuff up if i get time ,probably be wav or mp3 (?) [quote name='Bass Awkward' timestamp='1307987037' post='1267691'] Okay, here's what's missing: World music section.... Unusual meter section..... The world music section should be geographically subdivided, and the funny-meter section should cross-reference the other entries (most often, this'll be 6/8 dances from whereverywhere) - Thus: Unusual Meter -> Simple Time -> /4 2/4 3/4 5/4 etc. World -> South America -> Brazil Afoxe, Afro-Brazilian 6/8, Bahiao, Bossa Nova, Choro, Frevo, Forro, Maracatu, Samba, Samba Reggae, etc., etc. Within each of those styles, we could have a couple of examples of each sort of music, a little discussion of the common theoretical aspects from each and how their application can affect groove (i.e. clave 'modulation' in Cuba, or swapping upbeeats in Jamaica). And we can have similarly long entries to Brazil for Cuba, Jamaica, Argentina, Indonesia, Bali, China, Japan, India (subdivided to Karnatka and Hindustani) and so on and on and on. It must be worth it! Even Baron VonWasteland's heinous plans should not put us off! [/quote] That sounds like a lot of work ,can't we just post something as "world/ethnic" ? What if i used a tabla plus a djembe in a loop?Why Does everything have to be so catergorised i mean. [quote name='ped' timestamp='1307990841' post='1267789'] This area isn't used much, is it? Perhaps it needs re-thinking or re-invigorating a bit. [/quote] which area?

Fender for me . Easy to record ,makes you popular with engineers and producers

[quote name='4000' timestamp='1327654802' post='1514710'] For the Roger Glover look? [/quote]

Bought a bass from Sean unseen,bass arrived swiftly and very well packed and as described . Wouldn't hesitate to do business with again Thanks Sean

[quote name='deanovw' timestamp='1326616005' post='1499439'] Awesome. Thanks [/quote] +1

looks great ,like those facings

Cool .Has it got the paddle headstock or slimmer later one?

The americans started that mach thing . Maybe they pronounce "mach" as "mark"? . The bass will be normal custom electronics but probably wont have the trim pot for the tones like the later ones (unless it's been to the factory and they've been retro fitted) But will still have the output level and pick attack trims. Had a couple with the on /off switch it's a cool ,rare feature . I've found the necks from 81-82 era generallty feel slimmer too ,so sounds like a nice bass. They sometimes have the silver transition period bridge too.

Very sad to read of this ,like others here i was priveliged enough to meet him on a number of occasions Always great fun ,he'd go out of his way to help if he could,nothing ever too much trouble, He'll be missed by many r.i.p. Pete

glad your having fun Bobby if memory serves there were only 35 made in the mary kaye finish ,there's a couple of threads on the ernie ball site . That's the original guard too that they put on them, lot of them seem to have suffered from that curling up thing .

who knew boy george plays bass

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1324132457' post='1471153'] Why go for 'valve sounding' when you can get one with a real valve in it Use what the pros use: A-Designs Reddi - expensive but supposed to be the best there is! I know a serious touring pro & session musician who swears by these There's lots of info about them online but here's the first video review I found: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejEmNT_pvU0[/media] Of course, you know who's going to be stocking these soon. . . Our very own Borntobemild from BassGear [/quote] This would be ideal for what you've described . Also the groove tubes brick might do what you're looking for a bit cheaper,you see them for 200-250 used.

[quote name='Dom in Somerset' timestamp='1322571100' post='1452749'] After two years of being unfavorably compared to the previous guy I'm out.There were plenty of good times but the spector of *previous guy* never completely went away. Just had the call, basically they've been finishing off recordings made by the previous line up and it's become obvious to the rest of them that I don't play like that. the rest of the band wanted low rumbling grooves, I play more up-front melodic parts. [/quote] Over 2 years to finish off recordings ? further proof ,you're better off out of it i reckon.
