The Libertines are looking (and sounding) a bit fat and middle-aged aren't they? They need to go to the gym or, probably more likely, get back on the gear.

That's Jimothey's patented tone moss.

We've had four reports on three separate posts withn three hours on this thread, which I think has to be a record. If not, then its definitely a long time since things have kicked off this much. Polite request: We don't have to agree on everything but can everyone keep the comments to constructive criticism rather than platforms from which to jump off into other agendas? Better, yet, just say you didn't like something and leave it at that...or even focus on the stuff you did like. Thanks in advance.

Mineral - Pet Shop Boys

After yesterday, rumour has it that Robert Peston is just Jarvis Cocker doing a John Fogerty impression.

These Cirrus basses sound really good, great design ect, but the 35 inch scale was a big mistake in my opinion.

Ah! I'll go stand in the corner then. Snorkie Minimus pinched the strings off mine and had them on his US Professional Precision within twenty mins of my Vintage arriving.

Toto's cover of 'Sunshine of Your Love,' originally by Cream. The odd time signature adds a unique twist—always fascinating to see how different artists interpret classics! Bass: Mike Porcaro https://basslessons.be/transcriptions.php?i=1032

Vegetable - King's X

I bet you're right

Try and get Rod to unblock your toilet, you'll soon find out.

Animal - Def Leppard

Not much I hope! They are what's originally fitted.

The Ep[iphone T-bird is nice, but I've got the set neck Embassy and that makes all the same noises IMHO.

Excellent. Let's know the difference they make once you have the time. I have LaBella black nylon coated on mine and it sounds like it dropped out of the Motown studio. (Not the playing, unfortunately.) 😂

I believe he plays a Sadowsky 5 string on this.

Loving it. It gets new Fender nickel plated strings this week.

How are you enjoying yer new Vintage Precision Stubz? Definite keeper if it's like mine.

I don't take my slightly more expensive couple of basses out because whilst they greatly enhance my enjoyment of practicing and recording, they'd absolutely ruin my enjoyment of rehearsing and gigging. I don't want to spend my time preoccupied with thoughts of theft, loss and damage.. I want to put my gear in a storeroom and head out for food after soundcheck, load offstage into the dressing room and drink irresponsibly to the other bands that are on after us, and maybe let somebody else in the band take my stuff back with them if they're driving. So I take a pair of less expensive basses that are perfectly solid and reliable, and I enjoy playing them, and they look great on live photos.. but they don't cause me any stress and I believe I play better for it.

Mate has a white NT one and when he bought it many years ago he said it was one of his nicest basses to play so i was already swayed that way, but i appreciate your feedback on them as a gigging musician it helps a lot. Dave

Yesssss, I do!

Where driving is concerned the Quebecois are only slightly better in following the rules of the road than the Italians. But in the great Commonwealth of Massachusetts one has to fail an IQ test to get a drivers license. 🤪

Muppet on a String - Sandie Shaw

Well, that was easy!
