  1. Past hour
  2. This popped up on my YouTube feed yesterday . I don’t know who the bass player is doing the demos . She has a lot of knowledge,while going through many basses . I immediately thought of the ME-50 B which hasn’t really been out that long . Similar price too it seems . As a person who practices at home these days and records stuff on GarageBand, this seems good . I don’t know how fiddly this would be to use in terms of menu diving etc. The ME50b is more bulky ( downside ) but seems straightforward otherwise . It looks like the GX-1B would be usb powered like the zoom B3 unlike the ME50 B which needs to be run on batteries or 9v power supply . Does the GX1 B have a looper ? It’s good that both of the units mentioned can be controlled by the Boss apps if that floats . I don’t think I’d bother though as it means more menu diving .
  3. Indeed. It's like we get it, Jaco did you a solid and gave you the template for a fretless Jazz, but that doesn't mean that every fretless Jazz has to replicate that in some form! I mean, they even managed an unlined fretless Precision in the Tony Franklin signature (which for obvious reasons will always be named the Imprecision in my head).
  4. Playing a 60th birthday bash tomorrow evening. Hoping I haven't forgotten how to play over Christmas...
  5. Putting "absolutely" after an opinion still doesn't make it a fact and the "I'd say" confirms it as opinion.
  6. Will the new stuff in Helix Stadium support the drums and synth and sequencing changes to things via midi through the song?
  7. Which part, the last sentence? Absolutely! The part about the application of pickguards? I'd say that's accurate
  8. That is an opinion, but not absolute fact.
  9. cheers Mark , it’s lovely just needs playing
  10. These are the real deal. Love my 410 Glwts
  11. On an acoustic instrument where you need to strum for volume, I can understand a guard (but I'd prefer not to have one) but on electric basses they have been almost solely cosmetic (Jazz bass) or to hide routing (P bass). Some look OK, others look tacky.
  12. That pic is worth entering in this month's photography competition: "Grey is beautiful "

  14. I had this too when I picked up a 70's faker. My knobs are labelled though, so this should make you feel better.
  15. Thanks, it certainly has mojo 😎
  16. Looks a great starting point - for me I'd go for a L-1000 route. Whilst you have 2 pickups, you can still pickup an Tribute L-2000, so you'd be building a budget L-1000 which you cant get. And if you want to offload that spare pickup - I might be interested 😂
  17. For sale my Eden Neo powered (passive) 2x10 made in PRC and USA made D115 cabs. Together they make an excellent full range stack. Relatively compact as the D115 is the shorter version. The Neo 2x10 is a lightweight cab and very manageable, the D cab a bit more weighty though not ridiculous. The 2x10 is 500 watts at 8 ohms and adjustable tweeter, the D115 is 200 watt at 8ohm. Both offered in very good used condition and perfect working order, of course. No tweeter in the D series cab so it benefits from Being part of a stack with the highs taken care of elsewhere, unless some sub reggae is the order of the day? Will consider splitting though, as usual, it'd be a bit of a shame. EX210N8 = £165 D115=£145 Collection much preferred, but i can package securely, if you can arrange the courier of your choice. Cheers. Craig.
  18. Ah, the joys of having too many toys and not enough brainpower (I am a fully signed up member of that club) The one that gets me is the East P retro. Makes some lovely, lovely sounds but there is a lot of wizardry to fit into 2 stacked pots. I have to have the instructions handy if I haven't played around with the settings on that bass for a while.
  19. hejirah by joni mitchell is as good as it gets ...jaco only played on four tracks but that's enough to seal the deal for me.
  20. If I were a 5 stringer this would be the bass I’d go for . Groovy !
  21. Unfortunately, my lasting experience of dealing with stuff going wrong wasn't as positive with my two cabs, a shame, as I've owned half a dozen in the past, but not likely again. Still, this is better, and I daresay this thread may also have assisted in the response.
  22. They did! The earliest models, from 1978 until 1982, had REALLY big necks, both thick and wide. I've had two MC924L's from that period. They were great, but incredibly heavy and while I was comfortable with the big neck, I prefer a thinner and narrower neck these days. Which is why I've only got my 1983 model anymore: it's the later model with the bevelled edges, and PJ pickups in soapbar casings. Coincidence has it this is my year of birth, the serial number dates it to December 1983 which makes it only a month younger than me.
