Loved Sabbath Bloody Sabbath as a younger me, and subsequent albums too, played Paranoid and War Pigs in a band with my mates as a teenager, influential singer/front man who was a larger than life character. RIP Ozzy 👌🏼😞

I agree. Nice to see a six come out to demonstrate the full range of bassing, it’s just a shame she didn’t really drop below the top two strings as I would have liked to have heard her dig in for a bit at the low end!

Yes, it is. I have had an issue on my Precision with it. Turns out my Precision doesn’t have pickup polepieces that are grounded. So, if I don’t have a good path to ground (e.g. because the strings are coated in non-conductive material), I get a ton of noise touching the polepieces. Like when Elixirs are installed.

Absolute legend!

I’ve had them in place so long now they’re just part of the baked in tone. Initially I’d got them to add to the signal chain of a different unit but then ended up with an all tube pre amp with a Tx in the DI. How I use them now is having them in line after a drive unit or preamp (or both) sounded best as they’re adding some colouration and need a wee bit of signal driving into them. I did get the next model after these it it lost some lows while adding more colouration but the 2020s models were the right mix. I’ve seen on TB one guy had about 5 or 6 2020s unit in line beneath a Nano board. I had one initially and it wasn’t so noticeable. Ended up with three 2020s’ but two was the sweet spot for me. If you’re reconsidering using them definitely try them after a drive or preamp to get the most out of them.

I know, I was just so happy to see a six being used it is somewhat rare.

Ok, so I was being a bit broad brush. There are many valid trills, but they tend to be integral to the writing of the music (see strings in classical music for example). I was using it as shorthand for when people, especially vocalists and guitarists but also your Jools Holland types, fart around with a note instead of holding it or cutting it. I'm off outside now, to shout at some clouds.

RIP. A ledgend. Thoughts with all his family.

Just heard also, Sharon will probably organise a memorial gig now ! Will she allow filming of the electric funeral ? Pay per view ..🤔

He had to have known his number was up when he did the Back To The Beginning show the other week. He was probably given six months to live or something. What a send-off though.

Hello,friend The actual guitar you receive is same to the photo we listed.if you are interested,you can make an order.Thank you Maybe their translation software used 'same' as shorthand for 'vaguely similar' 😀

What about the trill in the iconic melody of 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly'? It's all part of the eerie mood of that theme. Especially in that opening motif.

Sad but when thinking about it it’s almost like he could let go once he’d played that last gig with his old mates.

A prime example of if you’re going to live life, really live it. Proper legend.

Never had any grounding issues that I've been aware of, on any coated string. Is that really a thing?

Indeed. I wasn't looking to buy btw. At the time I'd been looking at the new 4005v basses and that ebay pic/ad popped up. I could see it was a real Ric being passed off as a bass you'd get from the "maker", and it took all of 2 mins to find where they had lifted the photo from. I cheekily asked the "maker" for pics of other colours they do and got this reply: "Hello,friend The actual guitar you receive is same to the photo we listed.if you are interested,you can make an order.Thank you" Nope.

Literally just saw that. Did what he loved right up to the end. RIP.

It's just that the saddles are in a straight line. I'm not saying it's wrong - just interesting.

I popped a message to Lee...no response, but feel free!

Just did my third postal deal with @Schlippy & was another smooth transaction - great from start to finish. Enjoy your new bass! 👍
