anyone off to see tedeschi trucks band in november? saw them last year at the royal arbert hall, they were awsome, well polished. sounded great even considering the rah acoustics. i think they are well worth a see....

I was in a covers band once that played what I think are complete rotters... Cant Get You Outta my Head Rock dj Life is a roller coaster Livin la vida loca Even though I hated them, it paid the bills for a while. I drew the line at hero by that Iglesias fella. I remember a big stand off between myself and the singer because I refused to play it, stubborn as singers are, he went on to do it solo with a keyboard. Rotten veg was thrown.

Rus sold me an eb-3 and delivered it to kent from milton keynes, what a top fella! also had a coffee and talked bass, nice to meet you!

wtf??!! that was funny! makes no sense, it defies logic, it would drive me potty if i had one.

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1423131543' post='2681059'] Are we talking about a modern Gibson SG bass (three knobs, volume/volume/tone)? If so, the neck pickup is not a traditional sidewinder mudbucker, but a Gibson TB+ (humbucker, blades, ceramic magnets) masquerading as one, complete with fake pole pieces. I know this because I took the one out of my Midtown Standard. Also, see [url="http://music-electronics-forum.com/t35474/#post334486"]http://music-electro...474/#post334486[/url] Incidentally, that's my shout for a bigger bass using the same pickup jammed up against the heel of the neck, either a Midtown Standard or a Midtown Signature. Sure, it's chambered, but I doubt it'll make a lot of difference. The bigger body and 34" scale will make it feel a bit more in proportion [/quote] yes its the modern SG, id try a tele, if it had the same sound. i like my vintage basses, so that could be a possibility!

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1423150983' post='2681477'] To be fair I could have said it better, apologies if I offended. [/quote] you guys are funny! im not offended, i do need to loose a bit!!! 😀

i have had my mates gibson sg bass in my cupboard for almost a year, never played it, diddnt like em. i took it to practice, wow, the tone from the neck pu is probably what i jave been searching for from year dot, neck feels great, the bass feels really sensitive, inlike my fenders. now, heres the problem; im stocky, the wife would say i could loose a few pounds, the sg bass therefore looks like a silly little imitation girly bass. damn, what sould i do, go with the sg and face a lifetime of mocking from my fellow muscians (the guitarist feels particularly proud to 'have a larger one for once') or keep searching for the one? indeed, does anyone ever find the one? yours confused...... andytoad
