    I dunno. Pretty similar, just go around hitting different things...

    I'm a bit of a traditionalist with my own basses, but love the quirkiness of those, especially the Emerald Frost.

    Depends what you are complaining about. Fully support The Snuts for this one:

    Just need to add Young Hearts Run Free 🤔

    Ronnie Lane, Joe Osborne, Bob Babbitt. Two great session players and one top songwriter/player/singer. Ronnie's tone on The Poacher is wonderful (now someone is going to come along and tell me he wasn't playing bass on that track which is very possible)!

    Double check this - to there is sale of goods act that gives you additional rights way beyond a shop warranty.

    Wow, that latest mock up is gorgeous!

    Shuker bass UK Purple Chilli cabs UK but Celestion drivers probably Chinese. Carvin amp USA More than buying British I like supporting smaller companies if I can. Happily all my gear fits all the other important criteria.

    Picato? Pretty sure they make the strings that many others re-brand. Used to be manufactured in Wales, and owned by String & Things.
  10. Mykesbass
    Pretty much the case for all the more esoteric brands.
  11. Mykesbass
    Judas!
  12. Mykesbass
    Case in point being Mike & the Mechanics, where live three of them share this duty, and do it well.

    Yes, these guys made the trip worthwhile. Really enjoyed their set and bought the CD. Surprised you didn't notice, it was, to my ears, a textbook example that there is so much more to playing even these simplest of lines than hitting all the right notes.
  14. Mykesbass
    Think it is deliberate - need to listen again as this was on in the car, but sounds like it was going to a semitone down, then sliding up to the right note.

    Burning Spear Social Living played tonight by Bobby Gillespie on 6Music. Slightly odd bass line (odd as in unusual and interesting)! http://youtu.be/kiHMvpQWCTI

    Nice. Cort make excellent basses - got a 5 string jazz that I really enjoy. Much advice on here about playing fivers. I did it by starting off playing around the 5th fret. All seemed to fall into place after that (makes playing in F, EB and D an absolute breeze).

    Very sophisticated. Looks great.
  18. Mykesbass
    And the vast majority of customers.

    One of the higher end SR series (1600 possibly) has Nordstrand pickups and they sounded great on a clip I heard. Made me gas for one, but the necks don't suit me.

    Wunjo in Denmark Street. Lovely people, and some interesting basses.
  21. Mykesbass
    Al di Meola - try the albums Elegant Gypsy and Splendido Hotel.
  22. Mykesbass
    Over £500 for a new one, so yes, well worth getting a tech to look at it. If it is not viable a decent tech will tell you before spending much of your money.
  23. Mykesbass
    Approach this in the right way and none of your band mates should have any problem with this. As BRX says, getting the right sounds for the songs is a very important part of rehearsing.
  24. Mykesbass
    Love the original, but this is also very nice.
  25. Mykesbass
    Pretty sure @BigRedXhas the answers for this.
