Eek! That's a heck of a premium just because it was owned by a mediocre bassist with a big tongue...

I like to like bands that other people hate. Oh, and Animals is my favourite album too!

[quote name='TRBboy' timestamp='1330849078' post='1563624']Wish there had been an option for "I don't practice a lot, but I'm in a band that plays live, and I get involved in various other live and studio projects, although I don't get time to practice as much as I would like to and I'm too lazy to learn to sightread properly" [/quote] Me too!

DieBass?!

Or a Skoda. I drive a Skoda.

I was quietly impressed with the GFS hot pickup I put in my Squier... certainly plenty of midrange grunt and loads of output. Bloody cheap too! No down-side that I can see...

That said, I still can't see the point in spending three grand to end up with a bass that looks like you bought it for £200 thirty years ago and dropped it from a moving car...

[quote name='Johnston' timestamp='1330775165' post='1562764']As for the price. Does it not sit around the same price as a Pino Custom Shop Sig? [/quote] Maybe Pino is regarded as being more "upmarket" and therefore worthy of the price tag? Certainly both basses are rather aggressively relicked (sp?) but essentially very simple instruments...

Which album/track was it?

A psychologist would have a field-day with this thread! On finding "the one" must one abandon all others as long as ye shall live?

[quote name='Johnston' timestamp='1330624746' post='1560684'] Having one bass to me is like only having one 10mm spanner in the tool box. some folk can go their entire lives with one 10mm spanner but now and again you need a different one to get the job done. .[/quote] That's just nuts!

[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1330571520' post='1559649'] Somebody mentioned Dave Meros but no-one's put any clips up! [/quote] I did! See page one. But not this one... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIiUZd-gfXo&feature=related[/media]

[quote name='rednose200' timestamp='1325288201' post='1481917'] I absolutely hate signature guitars. Its only a sales gimmick for dummies who think that by buying a sig bass will make them play like the person its named after. [/quote] Well this dummy is looking forward to the arrival of his Geddy Lee jazz bass!

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1330531412' post='1558962'] Like many people here, I tend to shy away from buying from low-post count noobs, thus one might contend that an informal system is already in place. [/quote] Me too.... but then I have just sold a bass to a newbie and he turned out to be as honest as the day is long!! Just goes to show.

Is it a good thing that people keep referring to me as "all round"?!

Never heard of the band before, but I really enjoyed that! Great stuff. A real eighties vibe, but in a good way! A definite Calvin Harris thang going on with the vocals... Might have to investigate further! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kD9HGZ28DA&feature=list_related&playnext=1&list=AVAYMcY2vx8GQJgBVyn4_OaIRr4h7VgytM[/media]
