Dressed For Success - Roxette

I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe) - Genesis

A friend of mine told me today he'd just ordered one of these, and was going to pick it up in the next few days; black P, maple board version. I think I might give it a try when he gets it as he offered and wants to hear it through my old Peavey rig. He's a young guy but has old man tastes, just not this old man's taste.

Music For Tables - Tears for Fears

😁

thing is he needed to play bass and distorted rhythm at the same time .. that was the hole he needed to fill.

These two 🤤

I'm having the same issue with an elderly Music Man HD500 amp. Tried the jack trick, whatever I do, signal goes through the preamp. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

And I bet you never expected to ever say that phrase on an open form. 😂 Mark

I didn't notice half my G string missing 😂

I saw them play at Brunel University, I think, in 1971. They were a good band.

Heh...if you want to know what a Carlsbro should sound like, get one of these while they're still relatively affordable... By far the loudest 100W head I've ever come across in the past 45+ years, and the tone is to die for. Pair it with a nice vintage 1x15"/2x15" for bass, or a 4x12" for guitar...BTW, I own two of them...

Who is this Panda that makes 3 string P basses? I want one! Even if does use a 4 string bridge.

Past your had you lose two strings. I'm kinda diggin' all the three-string bass players we have here at the moment though. hahaha Mark

No sniggering at the back please!

Looks like the option is "we'll make you look like a Muppet but you're gonna lose a string" (my 5 string Lakland got turned into a regular old Jazz bass with an extra pick up!). I definitely look better and happier as a Muppet but can I have my string back please?

That’s the truth of it. Some very talented people mime, let’s not be too surprised that the less talented do the same

Lots of bands mime substantial parts of their performance at concerts, especially at the professional level. My wife is a former professional opera singer and was in denial when I told her that several of her favourite bands mime a lot. I knew this because friends have actually played in those bands and told me about it. Then through one of those friends she was offered a chance to perform with the side project of the lead singer from one of her favourite bands. It was to "perform" the operatic backing vocals and keyboard parts. They sent the backing tracks, which consisted of pre-recorded vocals and keyboard parts that the audience would hear plus an in ear track she would hear. That in ear part included a click and cues of the form like "chorus in 4, 3, 2, 1" simply to ensure the mimimg was convincing to the audience.

At £33 this seems too good to be true, but I'm seriously tempted to try one to take around schools (if it turns out to be any good!) Bluetooth so you can play backing tracks or stream music from your phone too...

Jerome is also an absolutely brilliant luthier, and is currently building me a bass, which I confess to being ridiculously excited about! I'd recommend him over just about anyone
