In the black area where neck meets the body, you could round the neck end concave instead of convex.

What made you pick up that first bass at the start of this long and winding road? 2 mates had just got guitars, so I thought we could get it together, and hey, bass is easier right?! It made sense though, I loved rhythm and wanted to be a drummer. Do you still have the same fire and enthusiasmr? Do you still love it? Yes, and yes. What has changed along the way? While still young I had to stop being in bands due to health issues. That was tough, although by then I’d worked out session work felt soulless and pointless to me, and making it in a band was highly unrealistic. I loved my last band but it badly impacted my health as I really should have fully stopped by then, and actually already had done for a couple of years. Your taste in music, taste in basses? All been pretty steady. What was the first bass? Rockwood LX100B And what’s the latest? Completely unexpectedly, I got a fretless Stingray and a Stingray Special within days of each other last month.

I’m still waiting for a knock on the door from Nicky Campbell (he’s a knob BTW) or Davina McCall… ”you didn’t know it, but here’s your spare son”

I played cello as a kid. Wasn't bad at it. Noticed I understood things about music that most people didn't. Stopped in my late teens, mixture of other pressures. In my forties, I noticed I thought of myself as musical without ever picking an instrument up. So I guess I got here by embarrassing myself into it.

Yes, but is he happy!

stunning bass , so far away -
I'm not a big fan of the full on tone with the spark. As mentioned above - the lower gain tone is simply fattening and warm. They're also fairly easy to track down secondhand

Price drop - £135 includes UK postage Hi, I’m selling my Aguilar Octamizer version 2. Well looked after and very little use. £185 price includes UK Postage. Here’s a bit of info from Aguilar: AN ALL-ANALOG OCTAVE PEDAL THAT CREATES A WIDE RANGE OF MUSICAL SOUNDS AN OCTAVE BELOW YOUR BASS SIGNAL. Modeled with old school and new school needs in mind, the Octamizer features independent volume controls for both the Clean and Octave sounds. This makes dialing in the exact amount of each a cinch. The two discrete signal paths also have their own tone controls that were specifically designed to enhance and expand their musical possibilities. The CLEAN TONE control uses a full spectrum tilt EQ, allowing for the boosting of treble while cutting bass or boosting of bass while cutting treble. This unique circuit allows you to create a clean sound that creates an octave doubling effect or to blend the sounds together for a great thick, snarky synth tone. *Pedal powered by universal 9-volt power supply only. Not included. Proprietary detector circuit for superior tracking Continuously variable multipole low-pass filter for Octave sound Dual filter architecture Full spectrum tilt EQ for clean sound Pedal powered by universal 9-volt power supply only. Not included. Cheers! Michael -
Here’s the dimensions straight from the Aguilar website. I think it’s in inches. Hope this helps! Cheers! -

Thanks, didn’t know that about the pickup, the build quality and finish on them is very high, I nearly bought the Sean Hurley custom but to me there wasn’t a great deal of difference apart from the price, I’d still like the Sean custom if one came along at a reasonable price, especially if it made me play like him 😁

Is the most honest Basschat answer

Ah get what you mean, well I’d say all were of similar - pardon the pun - standard. My ultimate faves are the 12 - 15, playability wise I just gel with the necks the best which are chunkers, but no standout points on build, with playability being down to the individual. Given you’ve a 2015 Jazz I’d say look at this series for Precisions too as I find the Jazz necks on this series quite chunky. Again if pushed I’d say 08 - 12 my least fave on playability as necks quite flat/shallow, which isn’t my thing.

Sold on the bay. -
Good shout, AVRI would be my choice too. Just to add the ‘63 has an overwound pickup which some folk love the muscle and volume of, but I personally found it too muddy for my style.

Post your pedal board - Basschat style!!

If I had the money to buy a new American Fender, and knowing now what I prefer, I'd instead order a roasted Warmoth body, a custom roasted neck from Musikraft, then kit it out with my own choice of bits. It'd be more custom than a custom shop for the price of an off the peg usa Fender, and probably better quality than both.

I currently have a Sire V7 Jazz and a Squier VM Precision. When I first started I had a horrid cheap bit of chipboard with strings attached. I always wanted a Warwick Corvette $$ when I started. Still do really. Either that or a Red Aria thru neck SB, I still would definitely have one of those. My tastes haven't really changed, but neither have my finances that would enable me to purchase my tastes 🤔🙂

Many of the effects have an output level, so if that is up the main output is going to be loud, mine is the same bypassed at about half volume

Fixed. 😄
