[quote name='OliverBlackman' timestamp='1493392119' post='3288048'] Then are you even a bass player? [/quote] Yes. But I'm not Jaco, and nor are you, and nor is anyone else here.

95% of the settings on my Pod XT Live.

[quote name='OliverBlackman' timestamp='1493316809' post='3287470'] Jaco only needed 4 strings...... [/quote] ...but I'm not Jaco.

I'm hoping to be there with my guitar-playing bestie.

[quote name='mark76' timestamp='1493234092' post='3286834'] Four4lyfe! Seriously though, does anyone know the fundamental frequencies of the lowest notes on a 5 and 8 string bass? The F# on the latter must be pushing close to subsonic. [/quote] I believe the fundamental of the low B is 30Hz?

Oh goody, this old chestnut again.

Yowch. Nearly 600 quid for the ash fiver now.

Yes, I remember The Point fondly. Played there a few times, it was always a good night. Sadly missed. I hope the git who complained has an infestation of fleas.

We played a corporate dinner-dance thing in Brighton many moons ago for a company who shall remain nameless -- let's just call them 'Boyal Scank of Rotland'. They paid us handsomely and put us up in a very nice hotel for the night, and it would have been the perfect gig if not for the fact that by the time we went on, the bright young things had been sat on their arses for two hours first with dinner and then second with all the speeches etc... so of course, all they wanted to do was hit the bar. Which was in the room next door. We played our entire set to our WAGABAHs and maybe 3 or 4 of the dinner guests. I looked on it as a well-paid rehearsal and a free weekend away.

I've got a Fender decal on my bitsa. I don't care if anyone thinks it's wrong or a lie or whatever, because it's my bass and I'll do what the hell I want with it. So there

[b]It Bites[/b]. Four years, three fabulous studio albums, and then gone. (nb. Not counting the later reform version, good though it was.)

I love his Kirby Dots album. Wonderfully weird in a great way.

Some of the guys here who have bought deko basses have got lucky and received perfectly playable basses out of the box. My 20 quid Harley jazz deko had a banana for a neck, so I wasn't so fortunate. For this reason, there is no way I would put down 170 quid on a deko. Too much of a leap of faith for me.

If you guys want to have an argument about the definition of bullying, I would strongly suggest that this thread is not the place for it.

[quote name='ProfJames' timestamp='1492281161' post='3279227'] I love this forum. So many comments to agree with............. [/quote] And an awful lot to look at and think "that's absolute bollocks mate"

I really enjoyed Anderson.Paak & the Free Nationals, and Thundercat was good too. Goldfrapp was ok, but I had to try to ignore the dancers. Courtney Marie Andrews was ok and Kasabian were, errm, Kasabian. [quote name='bassace' timestamp='1492153794' post='3278264'] If you hear his band playing it makes you wonder if he ever 'got' rock. It doesn't swing either. [/quote] If you'd ever seen Jools' big band live, you would know that they can swing like blazes. They are sh*t hot, whatever you might think of their leader.

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1492077991' post='3277699'] They were never in a band together... [/quote] If they had, it would have ended up like this... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMxSOiOWdvA[/media]

I will be astonished if they don't do a 5 string. The fact that they're giving it the Jazz neck means that i will be verrrrry tempted.

I've got the original circuit from my Yamaha RBX lurking somewhere. Standard four knob vol-pan-bass-treb active thing. Yours if it would help?

I used to use Warwick Reds... looking for a different sound and feel, I made the change to nickels and used Roto RB nickels for a while, then changed to D'Add EXLs. Then last year I decided to experiment with Elixirs to see what the fuss was about, and am now a complete convert. These things are [i]amazing[/i].

Ah, 80s synths... love em. Back in '87 my band had two keys players, between them they had a DX7, JX3P, Juno 106 and a PX7 piano. And yes, I played fretless through a chorus on some songs Though I say so myself, we were AWESOME *wistful sigh*

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1491925794' post='3276547'] Remember, he's not as good as JS Bite. [/quote] Oh well played sir

My 'P bass' is a total bitsa with not a single actual Fender part on it apart from the neckplate and some Tele knobs. The neck itself is off a Squier Jazz -- and yes, I have put a 70s Fender P logo on the headstock. For me, it just completes the look of it. Simple as that. The knowledge that anyone might think it a dumb idea will keep me awake tonight for approx 0.001 of a second.

[quote name='TrevorR' timestamp='1491942926' post='3276724'] Does anyone know the way? There's got to be a way! [/quote] Nope, sorry. We just haven't got a clue what to do.

I use a Magna-Cart I bought from Costco. It folds completely flat so it's easy to chuck in the car for gig loadouts.
