To my knowledge of recent case: To record, produce and master a track with a reputable producer is £8-20k. To get a support slot for a few shows on a label artist tour is £25-150k depending on the artist. The have a social media campaign is £10-30k per year. Probably a lot more for large scale advertising. Radio and streaming plug is £15-25k per year depending on reach. This is not viable to normal people and only those who; have a sponsor, major label backing, connections who can pull favours or family money. And especially difficult to find the time when working a full time job to pay rent or mortgage. Also we are getting to the point now where the kids of 80’s and 90’s pop stars are getting a chance. Even if they don’t have talent they have the connections.

The problem is obvious. You wear the bass far too low

Is it a knot or a dent? It’s been poorly setup so might also have neck/ fret issues. Not good enough.

For a Fender that blemish is nothing. I even have some on my Overwater and it doesn’t bother me one bit. For amps, P bass and 8x10 is a match made in heaven. If that’s a bit big I love the markbass 12” combo

😂 love it

I really liked the look of this one and with the reputation these hold I bet it’s an incredible bass. Glad that someone on BC got it.

“Now a collectors item”. Nope, still a mass produced bass

Find a US Fender with a nice fit/ finish. Sound not to your taste, change the pickups. Hardware not to your taste, swap out the hardware. Fancy going active, put in a preamp. There’s a huge array of parts that will fit a fender P if you ever want to adapt it.

Wife: you need to sell that old guitar. Bloke reluctantly puts on Facebook and blames a slow market for keeping it.

Can I take my collection of bass books too? Might finally actually get through them on an island. edit: it can’t just be one bass either. I’ll need at least 5.

He does say it’s a refin so not sure I would categorise it as low priced, even if it was through a dealer.

If you’re truly interested you would ask for a phone number, talk to them, arrange a visit ect. Price is a bit steep for a private seller though

The song is so so but the bass tone really made me sit up and notice. Perfect vintage Fender tone.

These always sound killer on stage. Agree with you about swapping the chrome knobs for black

Tort on blue looks a bit Union Jack. Lovely new bass there clarky

There should be a warning on this post *not safe for Fender fans*

Oh yes it certainly does

Congrats! I hope you like practicing 8+ hours a day….

I guessed he still had the premises. You’d need somewhere decent sized for that collection

Fretless

That’s an alembic

I did yeh but I did the HnD first. ACM has bigger classes than ICMP and just want bums on seats so the process to get in wasn’t difficult. Three friends went to ICMP and two did very well. Depends what you want to get out of the course at the end of the day. I wish I could have gone to Berklee but I don’t think my life now would be much different if I had, except I’d be crippled by ridiculous debt.

I couldn’t read bass clef before I went. Although it made learning the first performance piece a much harder experience as a result. Something to practice before you start.

What was that thumpinator thing that everyone bought. Wasn’t it something to protect your amp. Went mad on here and never heard of it since
