The hi-hat is the only thing I can hear from the drummer I've been jamming with lately. But I think has more to do with the acoustics of the soundproofed garage we've been wasting hours in [attachment=41685:images.jpeg] Or you could get one of these, far less temperamental

Welcome and happy chatting

Welcome.

Hazard a guess a Wal Pro Fretless, that's been customed or modded. Great hair.

So, if we are to get this right - A Jazz burps. A Warwick growls A Gibson EB3, I suggest then, farts. (Like the ones used by Bruce and Fraser, or were they EB0's?) If, that is we are describing bass sounds using bodily noises!

Cog - Sharing Space. a bit more melodic Aussie hard rock metal stuff

They look like the sort of thing a Premiership Footballer would have hung on the wall of his Cheshire mansion.

Jazzes necks are too skinny and the extra knob confuses me.[/quote] The last thing you need is too many knobs in any situation. Never owned either, and never played a genuine Fender so I don't know, but I've never really wanted one. Well, saying that if I was going to buy one it would probably be a Squier VMJ. So a Jazz then by default.

It's all to do with price elasticity of demand

[quote name='Gamble' post='731680' date='Feb 1 2010, 01:32 PM']Man, Aussi bands are the best! Check our Dead Letter Circus too, and Cog, and Full Scale......[/quote] Good you brought Cog up, reminds me I was going to buy their last album.

[quote name='bilbo230763' post='731462' date='Feb 1 2010, 11:02 AM']One of my twitches comes when people say things like 'I like the sound of a Jazz ovber a Precision'. I have no idea what the difference is.[/quote] Obviously Mr Fender was waisting his time or trying rip his customers of then.

[quote name='AndyMartin' post='731366' date='Feb 1 2010, 09:06 AM']I always feel a bit uncomfortable about owning lots of stuff so I've got one bass, one amp, one cab and one sound and that does it all for me. I still get GAS but I can usually reason it away and be happy with what I've got.[/quote] I am exactly the same. There is gear that I would dearly love to have but because playing bass is a hobby and hence not essential, I'll only buy what I can get by with (there's also the fact there are 3 young 'men' in our house who consume vast quantities of our money). I have one bass, a practice amp and a multi-fx pedal. The pedal is an indulgence. Until something changes I won't be getting anything else.

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='730767' date='Jan 31 2010, 04:55 PM']It's quite endearing to see he actually fluffs at times. Gives hope for us mere mortals. [/quote] He fluffs, is that a technique, like slap?

Brilliant mate, real chuffed for you. Glad you posted, the forum's been like a roomful of expectant fathers.

He's here. The excitement

[quote name='oldslapper' post='730765' date='Jan 31 2010, 04:53 PM'] Or..great gig, too many beers afterwards, behind bars??[/quote] Perhaps too many beers and he fell behind the bar and he's still there.
