    If you just want a great sounding bass, and like everything else about the Cort (which, yes, electronics aside, they make great basses) I'd put some Nordstrands in. They sound amazing, and are the only reason I fancy another bass!

    And I was the previous owner who had the repair done by Mike Still, who is legendary in these parts. Buy this amp with confidence!

    I foolishly sold my single Purple Chili 112 (the current name for Zoot) and regretted it enormously. They are amazing cabs for the price. Fortunately I managed to get a pair and I don't think I'll ever want to swap. If you're just changing for the sake of a change be prepared to regret your decision

    Must check lots of these out (been laptop-less for a few weeks, so catching up). But here's one I heard on Huey's show on 6 Music this morning - lovely jazz sample (no idea what it is though). How do we embed youtube videos on the new site? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EC8lBwroOc

    Bass heaven Bob Babbitt. Bass hell - Marcus Miller slapping on a Jeff Healey performance of See the Light.

    I quite like those pickups and inlays. But the headstock, lobster claw lower horn and that door knocker - what on earth...

    So true. Time to revive your wonderful thread but I can't remember what it was titled?

    That has to be the worst product staging I've seen for a long time

    Just make sure you are happy with the neck size and string spacing on the SR. After that Aria it could seem tiny.

    Josh Groban came across much like James Blunt when he appeared on Buzcocks. Very self-deprecating.

    Oh, and it was the Crusaders backing him on those early recordings.

    I had the honour of releasing a compilation of his early work for a record company I worked for many years back, and got to meet him at the launch of the London concert celebrating the 1st anniversary of Nelson Mandela's release. The launch was held in South Africa House on Trafalgar Square, for years the target of anti apartheid protest. When the launch came to an end, Masekela along with Miriam Makeba got to his feet, and they performed an impromptu Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika. It was the most moving musical experience of my life.

    Just bought a Soul Food from John - incredible service and in great condition. Buy with confidence from this great seller.

    Funny, I had the GB75, great bass, but never tried to get the MM sound from it. It's a great tone, but was never what I was looking for.
  15. Mykesbass
    Think I prefer 2 overall, but 1 may be a little more articulate soloed.

    Luthier. Builds and repairs, plus a little spares business may work.
  17. Mykesbass
    Thanks John, looking forward to it.

    Go on then! PM on its way.

    Been there, done that. Good luck... Are you aware of the onerous demands that brands put on shops in the way of dealerships? That, and the margins that the big boys work on are probably the two biggest problems. Happy to talk by PM if you want more info.

    Define cheap. First bass £300+ not exactly Harley Benton or Sx territory. Sorry if they come up later, couldn't watch any more.
  21. Mykesbass
    That D-Bird!! That headstock!! Think I have gas.Thanks @gingerfish

    Fergal Sharkey had a howler once, and of course there's always the classic John Peel mandolin solo on Maggie May.
  23. Mykesbass
    Liking that sort of binding, don't know how to correctly describe it, the effect most noticeable on the top horn. Also, that's a gorgeous fretboard. Liking fantastic.
  24. Mykesbass
    Can't you go for the old style single P pickup? Would look great on that body shape.

    Sampling can be incredibly creative and requires lots of musicality and talent to get it right. It also exposes some great musicians who could, otherwise get overlooked. Two great examples, Camille Yarborough, Take Yo Praise (Fatboy Slim, Praise You) and Dave Peacock, yes Chas & Dave, on Eminem's Track, title of which currently escapes me.
