    [quote name='xgsjx' post='949391' date='Sep 8 2010, 01:18 PM']I take it your old lecturer knew not much about bass or music? I agree that most of the audience wont be able to identify the bassline, but I think they'd know something was wrong if you just played root notes for "Hit me with your rhythm stick" or anything else that was bassline driven.[/quote] He was quite a successful double bass and bass sax player. I think he may have done one too many acid tabs while listening to Gong in '76. Odd fella

    I am also not a fan of bass players who whibble around the fret board. Keep it simple. If it ain't broke don't fix it. An old lecturer of mine had a theory that an audience member will hear the bass line they want to hear no matter what it is you play so you might aswell stick to root notes. But then again he wore a tweed jacket with elbow patches and ridiculous dahli inspired waist coats.

    I'm not sure. Pretty sure I use my ring and little though. One finger per string gives me more control

    Bit of a long shot this I know. I bought the P off Si (OldGit) back in May/June. It's a lovely bass but after rehearsing with an MM equipped Sandberg California J last week nothing quite cuts it any more. Bass is a PB-70 (the non US version) The bass plays and sounds awesome. I love the tone and the playability but it just doesn't work for my band tone wise. I would like to trade for (cash adjustment a possibility) for Warwick corvette $$, MM stingray/sterling, ray 34, sandberg California J/P with atleast one MM pickup, G&L, anything else with MMs. No fivers or sixers though please. If you have anything else to offer just ask. Worse I can say is no. Here's a gallery to wet your appetites.

    narrower than normal yeah. Wider at the bridge than the normal SB but not as wide as a fender.
  12. cocco
    Thats pretty. I have a simular Elite which from what i can gather is 99% the same thing. If you've never played an SB before you havn't lived. The neck is..... to die for

    [quote name='paul h' post='235002' date='Jul 8 2008, 02:44 PM']A bit of controlled buzz is a big part of how I play. I like that almost distorted tone you get when you really dig in. P.[/quote] I agree. I use my sansamp with a lightish distorted sound constantly. Then when I want more filth I simply dig in deeper. If I think it's too much I just roll the tone pot or the bridge pickup volume off slightly. Simples.

    ZING/GROWL

    cocco replied to CHRISDABASS's topic in Bass Guitars

    Yeah I'd agree. I need that slight buzz to penetrate the mix properly. I wonder if this is true of all genres or just rock and it's sub genres? Any Motown/jazz/soul players think on similar lines?

    I was rather taken by this in the original thread. Something about CAR on a jazz isn't there? BUMP!
  17. cocco
    Someone else scored a Ken Smith from crack converters. I'm sure there's a thread about these kind of happenings.

    Model etc?

    Raised a cup of tea and had a good jam today in Si's memory, aswell as a 2 minute silence. Rest in peace old friend. Memories of you will not fade in a hurry. I wish you could see all the kind things people have said about you in this thread. Legends never die.

    I've always been slightly envious of Sid. Dammit if only i didn't already have an identical p bass

    I attacked the necks on my CIJ jazz and my T-40 with sand paper and they've both always been fine
  24. cocco
    I fancy an asat. There's something about tele shaped basses. The fact that it comes as a thinking too makes me want it even more.

    Jesus Christ MB1. I wasn't even sure you played. That's a beauty!
