    The Grafts are superb! fwiw my 'frostbite' finished Graft 5 has such strong sounding pickups - the bridge pickup tone is one of the very best I've ever had for that midrange percussive honk/burp/whatever you want to call it 😍

    Its odd but whenever i used to see a band no matter what style of music it was i always applauded at the end of each song unless the band were absolutely diabolic and making lots of serious mistakes but i don't recall that ever happening. I'm happy to see any band play especially if it looks like they are enjoying it themselves. I'd be that one guy in the audience that's clapping. Dave

    My youngest son (15) just overheard me playing ‘funky mellowship in B major’ by RHCP and commented “well, you’re better than Homer Simpson”. I’ll take that.

    You can try playing 1 6 2 5 on your own, see how it sounds. Maybe 2 5 1 would sound better if the guitarist isn't joining in. Most keys players should know what you are doing, but even something that simple can flummox a lot of guitarists. . . . and a lot wouldn't even notice you weren't playing the usual 5 4 1 turnaround.
  6. Streety2025 started following Pernambuco double bass bow - OPEN TO OFFERS
  7. Streety2025
    This bow was made to order and is a lovely bow, wonderful crafted stick made of pernambuco, bow stamped GB Bows and is nickel silver mounted. Beautifully light weight at 126 grams light nimble and articulate and is very similar in characteristics to light weight bazin bows I have played in the past. The bow has a truly fantastic curve much and allows for fantastic articulation at the tip and tension in the hair however the stick is not ‘whippy’, This stick is incredibly agile and makes playing string crossings in Mozart a doddle and has great clarity and articulation if used for solo playing. This bow really works across the range of demands of a modern bass player at incredible value. Ideal for any bass player but particularly appealing to those at the start of their careers. Fresh new hair. Chosen, tested and made to specification for a UK professional valued at £350-£450 by glen titmus, however open to offers.

    I think I may have played this bass when picking up one of my ACGs from Alan. There was also a lovely green Graft Plus 5 string there that day as well. Fantastic looking Graft you have - I think this colour is called Purgatory iirc

    Just reviving this necro-thread for a luvverly off-topic one: Mum: "John, soon you're gonna have a little brother, and you'll be his big brother!" John: "I dont want a little brother! I want a big brother!" Mum: "I understand, dear, but the baby can never be bigger than you." John: "We can abort him! From Africa!"

    My Pingray bitsa is paulownia too and I often back off the bass control on the EQ otherwise it's overpowering.

    I have a great app on my phone called Chordbot Lite. You can program chord progressions in and then play along. I'm sure there are other apps and PC programs but this is incredibly simple and intuitive to use.

    Yeah, we’re pretty lucky most of the time, playing original heavy rock to audiences who often don’t know the songs, we go down pretty well a lot of the time. However sometimes it just doesn’t click, and on a wet Tuesday night the folks that came to see what was on just didn’t seem to be into us. Cest la vie! The band before us went down pretty well, playing kind of indie rock, and they were great, but our 80s style heavy rock just didn’t do it for them. All part of the fun, and I’ll take indifference over hostility every time! lol, because we’ve had both down the years! Thankfully the days of having stuff thrown are long gone! 😆

    Ahhh nice. Yeah, I really prefer the V body shape as well (or P, if we're talking Fenders). The Martin Mendez is close to my ideal J bass with the specs, body shape and scale length, but the pickup positioning is just a bit too wonky for me.
  34. warwickhunt
    I couldn't find a JJ pup config on a P style body so I actually had a VS professionally routed for the TT pup config. I can revert the neck pup back to P and have the scratchplate to match.

    If you own a double bass you are already deemed as ready by others.
