I concur with @Eldon Tyrell love mine too.
-
Are you saying you no longer are fully sparkly Dave?
-
Responded. -
Goodness, for some of the prog bands I enjoy that's about a song and a half
-
Picked up the bass today. Absolutely stunning in the flesh and beatiful to play.
-
40mm iirc. Between a J and P at any rate.
-
I've had a custom colur on a VS4. Very easy (bought through Classic & Cool). Sandberg send colour swatches and you pick the one you want. By colour swatches I mean a whole book of them not just half a dozen. I don't thing they do nitro but not sure tbh as never asked.
-
Nice; love the simplicity of the entire package.
-
Love the board on that fretless. What's the full spec @Crawford13 ?
-
The bass is ready, collection on Monday
-
Yes, I love Awaken with the orchestra.
-
Did CS ever record with that green Mouradian bass or was just just for the live shows?
-
Machine Messiah is definitely one of my favourite songs. Good shout ref Homeworld & Magnification to which I would maybe add The Ladder too.
-
Geoffrey Downes (keys on Drama) is no Rick Wakeman for sure. If you are liking the newer Yes then maybe give Fly From Here a go? IIRC some of the tracks date from around that time.
-
Always good to listen to stuff outside your normal play list but not compulsory to like anything no matter how highly regarded the musicians may be. I listen to all kinds of 'unfashionable' music from 70s pop to math metal. One genre I really struggle with is Jazz though. Try as I might it just doesn't float my boat although I nearly liked some acid jazz once. I happen to really like Yes but then I rather grew up with them, the very first LP I saved up for and bought was Close To The Edge. Goodness knows how many Yes gigs I've benn to.
-
Yup always a risk. I anotate the set list in big writing
-
I used to have an obsession about swapping any BBOT to something more substantial. I then realised that my basses work for a lving (at least they used to) so in the context of a band I could never hear a difference so I stopped doing it.
-
Always on the look out
-
The covers band I play uses a few different tunings so for rehearsing and gigging I use one of these for one or two semitones down. Dead easy and you can keep everything at std set up and tuning: https://www.andertons.co.uk/guitar-dept/guitar-pedals/pitch-shifter-pedals/digitech-drop-pedal Purists will of course hate it, and tbf I would never record with it, but it's fine for messing around with. Everything from Greenday to slower stuff.
-
Midnight Wine for me. No pics as the Fender ones all have Rosewood boards, sorry.
-
That's a very pretty bass. -
Good point. Will the active EMGs be OK with the two fitted volume pots or should I swap them for the two 25k pots that came with the pickups. Sorry, not an area of much personal expertise
-
Cheers. In that case I could look at the retaining the two volume controls and just add the BQC control.
-
Do you know if the centres for the pots on the Haz would slot into a Legend by any chance? Several £s too, suddenly the EMG option seems very appealing! Given the EMG PJ active set comes with the std V/V/T wiring kit and I quite like the idea of retaining a tone control, I was thinking about sticking a BTC stack in there in a V/V/BTC/T type configuration. Do you know if this works? I have emailed EMG in the USA but slow to respond atm.
-
Just picked this up in a trade. Identical to my first proper bass in all but serial number, this one being a tad newer I think. I also picked up a set of active EMGs that might well find their way into the bass when I decide what preamp to go for...
