  1. Not long heard the news. Its so sad. She was a troubled soul. Beautiful singer and writer
  2. Beautiful looking bass. I was watching that charity thing you did last year. I thought your tips were really useful for new palyers. Have you always been maple neck?
  3. I love your honesty. You may be overthinking this. If you are happy where you are, that's enough. If you're not, then the number of strings won't change your ability to learn. Spend your time learning the songs you like regardless of the timeline. When you've nailed it you've nailed it. When I watch the really accomplished players talking about keeping things simple. I often think it's easy for them to say that as they are so accomplished. They have been there and done it. They have the 10,000 hours under their fingers. Ive always felt like an imposter in every band I've been in. Always felt like the weak link. Its all about confidence
  4. Love the lighting bars. who makes them?
  5. Mistakes happen to the best of us. As Victor Wooten says "You are only one fret away from the right note". I'd say go with the focal point, which is usually the singer. What I really hate is a glare from one Musician to another. Don't give the audience any signal a slip-up has happened. Yes acknowledge it but not negatively. You can sort all that stuff out once the gig is over. I'm a weekend warrior, these days, so I try to give myself a break. I'm not touring or sitting in a pit. I'm not playing the same lines every night for weeks on end. Regardless of your place in the choir. The audience only responds to the song not all the individual parts, unless they are musos. I don't go into any gig wanting to make mistakes. I practise the key signatures and the structure of songs. I know my fretboard and where I need to sit in the mix. I still make mistakes.
  6. This has been my go-to IEM Set up for the last few years. A well above average introductory level system. The sure brand is pure quality. It has been kept in a Gator case form new so has no marks etc. You will see from the pictures it comes with the original headphones, lead and rack ears, which have never been opened. Original packaging.

  7. Quality mate. That Cali76 compressor is another level. The best on the market IMO
  8. Why beat yourself up. Life is short and you deserve happiness
  9. I need my arms! I think if you dropped one of the Sadowsky preamps with the VTC control into one of these you've got a full-bodied bass for a bargain price.
  10. I bought this in January this year. It's a wonderful bass. The neck is super smooth and from what I've read this is the upgrade to the original Metro models. Ive never used it live and it's never left its case or the house. You will see the original shrink wrap still on the control plate. This clip gives you all the info you will ever need: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15WCG7cZtV4 Roger Sadowsky's goal was always to improve an already very successful bass design by making several detailed improvements. Along with the electronics, which he developed by himself, he succeeded in raising the well-known J bass sound to a new level, so today you can speak of a typical Sadowsky tone: Never harsh or shrill sounding, with strong, powerful but never muddy bass, with present, but not too aggressive mids, and a sweet and airy treble range. All features of this modern bass sound can also be found in the 21-Fret J basses of the MetroExpress series. •Sadowsky MetroExpress 21-Fret Hybrid P/J Bass • right-hand version •4-string electric bass •34" (864 mm) long scale •bolt-on construction •Okume body •Maple neck •Morado (Pau Ferro) fingerboard •12" fingerboard radius •Sadowsky Just-A-Nut III nut •1.5" (38.5 mm) nut width •21 nickel silver frets (width: 0.094" (2.4 mm) / height: 0.051" (1.3 mm)) •passive Sadowsky J-Style pickup (neck) •passive Sadowsky J-Style pickup (bridge) •active Sadowsky 2-way electronics •controls for Volume / Balance / Treble / Bass •Sadowsky Light machine heads with open gear •string spacing 2.36" (60 mm) •Sadowsky S-style security locks •Sadowsky bridge with quick string release •chrome hardware •stainless steel 045 - 105 strings •Solid Sage Green Metallic High Polish finish •incl. hex key tools •incl.

  11. Hohner Professional 'The Jack' 4-String Bass in its much rarer passive guise. One of the most sought-after 1980s basses due to its easy playability and light body weight 'The Jack' has a maple body with a natural/honeyed finish and a maple neck with a rosewood 24-fret fingerboard and truss rod. All of the hardware is black, including two 'EMG Select' humbuckers and the licenced Steinberger bridge/tailpiece, tone control and two volume controls. It's in great condition and has recently had a new set of strings fitted. Well looked after. Happy to discuss postage to a UK address Thanks for looking
  12. Absolute Legend. Incredible voice
  13. The bass is in great condition. Aside from a wonky control knob. I’ve never seen them go for that sort of money. I think given the current market it’s a fair price
  14. Thanks for the comments. They are truly beautiful instruments.
  15. Beautiful example of these iconic basses. The classic colour and scratch plate combination. The neck on these basses is so smooth. In excellent condition for a vintage instrument. All original parts. The tone knob has a very slight bend on it. I’ve never wanted to bend it back as I’m not brave enough. Happy to meet up local to Birmingham or arrange delivery, sharing the cost. serial number : JV11586 Thanks for looking
  16. A true legend and his bass lines have driven some of the most iconic songs of the 80’s. RIP
  17. Great thread. I first played bass at 12 in the school band and trombone. First real gig outside that enviroment was in 85 St Chads Cathederal in Brum did a Live Aid thing and " State of Art" did a 45 minute set of covers. My Kay Bass and Sunno bass amp in the pocket!
  18. Really enjoyed listening to this. I like Rio by Duran and jamerson. The rest all work for the song, but all basically Rock based songs.
  19. I sometimes dep in a Quo tribute. I dont think the rossi guy would like it but i love it. Colour is beautiful
  20. Are you happy with your hair brush?
  21. Lovely! How exciting. Look forward to your unfolding story
  22. Evening. Can anyone advice on what i would need to look for to replace the pups on my Honher Jack 4 string? i have the dimensions of the pups at 68mm length x 32mm wide. This is an approximate size ( my eye sight is stinky poo) The bass is passive. Ive gone back to it after it sitting dormant for a while. I like bridge pup but the neck pup is very dull. . I was thinking about converting to an active bass. However not sure if this is possible? @KiOgon Any advice appreciated KP
  23. Wonderful musician. Loved his work with Ellis Beggs & Howard. His Chapman stick playing was so cool
