That's exactly what the sticker looks like

Here's a sloppy demo of what it sounds like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXIYKUw9eF8

Ehehehe I know, I was surprised to I just found a couple of stickers. -One says "made in Korea" (so there's a mystery solved) -On the neckplate is "H-80" -And there is a "inspected by" sticker. I'm thinking it might be an old Harmony, I can find guitars with the same neck joint and strap button on the heel of the neck, but I can't find an H-80 bass. That was a Strat type guitar.

It's a .105, probably to big but it was the only E-string I had lying around there.

It didn't fit through the hole in the bridge... I tried to ram it through but that didn't work.

I don't think kits existed in the 70s

[color=#EEEEEE][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif][size=4] [color=#000000]So I work at this secondary school and we have a couple of basses. Some are pretty decent (SX Jazz is amazing for the price) and some are terrible. And then there's this one: I guess it's from the 70's, it's shortscale and it has a laminated body. Really, it consists of layers of wood. But what is it? Hondo? It sounds pretty good. Not amazing, but pretty ok.[/color][/size][/font][/color][color=#EEEEEE][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif][size=4] [/size][/font][/color]

Now I have been a pro bassist for a few years now but am only just discovering the world of recording things other than myself. I recently recorded the demo for my reggae band (check it out [url=https://soundcloud.com/user-855011445]here[/url]), and a month ago I played a theatre festival here in Holland with a friend of mine. We got quite a few requests for recording the songs that were in the show, so we did I recorded the grand piano, played and recorded all guitar and bass parts ánd almost all backings. Especially the grand piano was a big "first" for me, and I think it worked out pretty okay. Check it out on Spotify [url=https://open.spotify.com/album/0jQ2DXtuYBSdNQVuWHZsIn]here![/url] It's in Dutch, so I guess I can only ask most of you to listen to the bass and guitar sounds On the "Horecalied" you hear my Fender Bass VI, '72 Precision and LAG acoustic guitar. "Mannen Die Drinken" features my Squier Jazzmaster and '72 Precision, and on "Oscar" I used my De Gier Bebop 5 and Squier Jazzmaster. All bass parts recorded through the DI of my Eich T-500 head.

Got this on vinyl last week and I had my amplifier fixed so playing it right now. What an amazing dub record. Love it.

Or get Sander de Gier to build you one

For that price, get a Bass Station. The Minitaur sounds great but I think a huge downside is the fact that you can't see what preset you're working with. And you need a good midi keyboard to work with I have a Moog Sub Phatty which is heavier, sounds better and feels more solid than the Bass Station, but it's a lot more expensive as well

Wow, that looks amazing! Funny to see that shrunken pickguard at the lower horn. My '66 Jazz has exactly the same piece broken off.

I used to have five but I have owned four for the last few years and I only miss some 70's kinda Jazz. Still. Not too much to complain about.

So here's a clip of June last year with my fretless. I believe this was before I had Lollar pickups installed. [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JV0avwvV2No[/media]

I like my '72.

And although we mostly play our own pieces, we do sometimes play a cover. [url=https://www.facebook.com/TyranniFlock/videos/1817240531873494/]Here[/url] we did a Miles Davis classic. I'd love to embed it but it's a Facebook vid so sorry

And I love it, somehow. I was looking for a reverb and a friend of mine had one and I got it for free But I can't really figure out...what it is. It's not a reverb and it's not a proper delay, can someone explain to me how the sound works? It sound like it's a delay where every next delay is closer to the previous one. Very spacy. I recorded a sample: https://soundcloud.com/hidderoorda/reverb

So I've had this reggae band for a short while now. A lot of firsts for me: first time I've played guitar in a band, done lead vocals, recorded, mixed ánd mastered the demo. I wonder what you guys think. We've recorded for songs we really like and are working on our own material ATM. If you have tips of advices concerning mixing or mastering after listening, please feel free to give them. Check it on [url=https://soundcloud.com/user-855011445/sets/demo-2017]Soundcloud[/url].

Crikey.

I must say I've gotten quite some GAS when at the show, but back home I realised there's not very much I'd gain from buying one of the basses I tested there. Sure, I fell in love with Sadowskys, Overwater and especially Pedulla, but I kinda have that stuff already, more or less. Okay, I'd kill for a Pentabuzz. But other than that...

I'm gonna pass this year, have two theatre gigs that weekend. Too bad, I was really looking forward to it!

[quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1479734054' post='3178800'] Sorry, I took your initial post as a joke or ironic question, the answer to which would be "bass guitar". Seeing you're serious, I can't really tell which of the mentioned ones is best, as I've spent only little time with each of these, BUT: I've had great results with a synth as simple as the Korg MS-10, which has only one oscillator. This approach demanded two effect pedals, one of which I think was a chorus. The result was unbelievably close to a real bass guitar of indescript model - though of course not in every respect. I was flabbergasted though, and that was after decades of synth "programming". The Korg MS-20 Mini, which is still available, would do the same job, and could also do a better job with its two oscillators and other stuff. [/quote] Agreed to that, the Korg MS series is great (although I still like the Moog filter sound better, and you can always switch off the second oscillator in a Sub Phatty)! The MS-20 mini is pretty cool but I háte those tiny keys. You could get an MS-20 kit and build one with proper keys.

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1479682100' post='3178486'] But, which one is best if all you want to do is play bass lines and sound very much like a bass guitar? [/quote] A bass guitar. No synth will emulate the decay and dynamics of a bass string perfectly.

I considered a Minibrute and Bass Station 2 when shopping for a bass keyboard, but instead went for: Haven't had any regrets. As Jeremy Clarkson would say: What a machiiiiiine!
