Jackroadkill Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) Years ago, I was a moderator on an air rifle forum (don't worry, I'm fully recovered). There would be howls of genuine rage issued every time someone stated that they preferred the .177 calibre over the .22 or vice-versa; such arguments would be pursued with all the zeal of the Great Schism of 1054, and the combatants would only pause to unite when someone mentioned the existence of .20 and .25 calibres, before battle would be rejoined, insults would be exchanged and I'd have to put grown men on the naughty step. I suspect I may have found the bass-playing equivalent. Edited September 23, 2023 by Jackroadkill 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msb Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 I like cheap vintage short scale basses. I often use a UniVox for gigs these days. Don’t quite understand how that happened but I’m ok with it However I do use great amps and cabs. amp nerd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I've heard him play on something it was an accident. When it comes to famous fretless bassists, I prefer Mick Kahn of Japan, personally - now there was someone to make me lust after a fretless and possibly a Wal mk1 while I'm at it. Alas neither my bn balance now my talent permit me that option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snorkie635 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I only ever use a fretless, rifled, five-string (high B), chambered-body, short-barrel, figured-maple, hand-polished-stock, under-over, machine-shotgun for jazz and find my triple-ported, folding-bin 8x18" speakers give a great tone and volume and projection, down The Flying Pig every Fourth Tuesday night. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
