Well, breast guess from mammary I'd say it's a Rickenf*cker, isn tit?

Stu Hamm: country music - predictable but I love it!


Jeff Berlin: Bach - Beautiful fluid fingerstyle


Mel Schacher (Grand Funk Railroad): I come tumblin - I used to love this band, and not many people stuck a bass solo in a rock track back in 71


Billy Sheehan: the whole Eat em and smile album - best rock bass ever for me!



Note: vids not great, you need to hear the originals really!

This is the most bumped thread I've ever seen!

Great bass there, a maple fretboard and I'd consider it perfect!
If I didn't have a jazz bass I'd go for it ............. but I'm afraid that I do have one.

great clip!

Brilliant looking bass, and I love those to play as well. Apart from no cash I'm sticking with 5 strings from now on though.

I was drawn to the skinny neck of a jazz originally, but then I got a 5 string and they feel completely different!

I totally couldn't play it, but if I had the cash I'd buy that in an instant! Beauty of a bass.

I love doing up stuff like that! I'd buy it in a snap if the price was right.

You gotta love the internet for buying odds & sods. Makes life easy!

Sometimes things like this happen. I bought a guitar here a couple of years ago in 'very good condition', but in actual fact the frets were the worst I have ever seen on any instrument! Someone had used a block and flattened them all TOTALLY over the middle frets, leaving virtually nothing for a re-crown even. The guy genuinely didn’t realise that it was in that condition though.

I’ve known a lot of musicians who wouldn’t dream of taking a scratchplate off.

Too bad, I thought that Tal and Vinnie were perfect with Jeff.

Mind you, I'm sure the new band will be amazing ......

For me it's Stu Hamm's Country music.

Totally blew me away years before I got into bass.

Hmmmn, some interesting stuff there.

I've got two 12 string Chapman sticks. Does that count?

My step daughter has a Yamaha electronic kit & you can still hear her hitting it on the ground floor when she's in the loft.[/quote]


Yeah that's what I was going to say. Mine are in the garage, but it annoys the wife if there is a house window open and I'm bashing away with headphones on - It's a lot of clacking and thumping!

Major ugly. Could be useful for starting a fire in the cold though, or clearing the drive of snow.

I think that poll tells the tale ....

It's always very sad to hear that someone who means something to you dies, but there was only one that really shocked me to the core. I was helping to run a youth camp many years ago, someone was reading a paper and mentioned that Eric Clapton had narrowly missed death by not getting on a flight, I casually took the paper to have a look and just went white as a ghost to see that my favourite guitarist, Stevie Ray Vaughan had actually died in the crash. I just had to get away from people, so I wandered off by myself for a couple of hours just trying to get my head around it. I couldn't play any of his records for a year after that. He had so much more great music and inspired playing in him.

I bought it but I never use it. I got it to use with Garageband but it is pretty crap with GB. I think that it works a lot better with other software.

I'm desperate for a 3/4 drum pattern for a project, but it doesn't have anything useable!

I'm intrigued? So where can we see your stuff???

Hey presto...custom paint Ebay business![/quote]


That's a good idea!

Doh! Me thick.

Looks very nice indeed. I don't have that kind of spare cash for another bass right now but good luck with the sale.

An old Fender Jazz sunburst is the look for me. Having said that, I only do 5 strings.

Looks a peach of a bass. How much you selling for out of interest?

[quote name='donut' post='697850' date='Jan 1 2010, 12:21 PM']Bassists seem to love going on about how open-minded they are to new ideas and techniques. Don't see much evidence in this thread.[/quote]

I beg to differ. I think that bassists are generally the most close-minded bunch of musicians out there! Just pick any thread on slapping and see how much vitriol and negativity there is!

Not sure I'd use the word 'gay', but I can't really see the point in it. It makes sense on a guitar as you are playing the same chord shapes but in a different key, but that doesn't really apply to the bass in the same way?

Generally they seem to get very good reviews at their price range.

For a clever bloke, Trev Wilkinson was totally misguided in calling his guitars 'Vintage'. For one thing, they are not! But also, try doing a search for Vintage and you get a million other things, search for Sei (for example) and you just get what you want.
