My guy is perfect to a click but on certain tracks it’s nice to build or have a bit of ebb/flow in time. Don’t want to sound robotic. Guitarist has some lovely delays but taps in if needed. the tremolo/vibrato stuff works well when planned out.

Our drummer runs an earpiece for certain tunes, others we allow variance but usually sit around the same. we record all rehearsals and discuss tempos, if somethings off we use the click at the next rehearsal. but our guy is very good and in rehearsal will stop or change/signal if it’s not right. Its about to be firmed up though as he’s going to be triggering samples which will require timings to be good.

Peavey GV or Yamaha TRB5PII. Ultimately the GV won because it weighed 3lbs less than the Yamaha and sounded just as lovely - albeit a little different.

The blue Wal sounds like my Lottery win bass...

I had 2 in stock when I worked in a shop, had my heart set on one of them and it got sold on a day off. Think I could’ve had it for about £650, maybe less. It was between that and a super light Nate Mendel, so I ended up with that instead. This was about 2012. The Nate is long gone unfortunately.

It looks like a lovely bass. I know I sound like a baby when I say I prefer the more traditional shape of these to the other models...if I’m honest a tort guard would balance the darkness of the pickups too. I’m not sure yet on the £50. Not yet.

@Bassface Yamaha bb is a saved search anyhow 🤔

There it is! Wooooohooo! Sims do a mean sparkle...

I think @Baceface that it’d be be a lighter blue. Maybe LPB or more like the orange ones mate

I know. It’s the fact that I didn’t expect to be the top bid. And I’m sure it’s lovely, but I have no need for it. Dangerous with half a brain me.

Ssh. Credit card is twitching. Need to move on the Fender I bought the other night after too much wine. Then...I’ll do it.

Oh my god!

I don’t know but they need to dredge them back down.

this in a blue sparkle...easy

A sparkle party...

Want a sparkly SH now 😂

Oh - forgot I had a Mike Dirnt in sunburst for about a month. Was nice, think I just already had the NM and didn’t need two P basses.

Does it have to be used this way, or does it go to a breakout box or something to do it?

Dean and Carvin have done the same bass at various points. But with wooden necks.

Think it’s a classic 50’s and that’s what the vintera replaced - he’s looked on the fender website to get specs and that’s the closest match?

Telecaster plate?

I’ve owned loads, based on the specs more than the player. Some based on the player, just because... Geddy x 2, Marcus Miller, Jack Casady, Robert DeLeo, Roger Waters, Nate Mendel, Billy Sheehan Yamaha, Mark King Status...A Fender Custom Shop Sting 50’s P (not officially a Sting bass, but it was based on his 56 warts an all) A Roscoe Beck, and a Stu Hamm. What else...oh a Macca “Cavern” Hofner. And these (the Yamaha hasn’t been released yet 😂)

I’d like one. Just to sit it next to my flea. like a bass Liberace.
