Really. I think of putting my wife on the game.

Me too! Thank god it's in Antarctica...

Good luck on the new venture - some intriguing products there.

Fodera not your thing, not a problem, how about this? A similar blunt trauma to your bank balance... (I did say that TBG's stock was ridiculous...)

My entry point...

We need to hang-on to these two.. Dropped into the Bass Gallery to try a bass and pick-up some bits... Awesome stock... Ridiculous basses available. https://thebassgallery.com/ Less recently, but likewise a humbling experience is Bass Direct... http://w.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Home.html Martin and Mark last men standing.

Glorious! Enjoy the weaponisation of the the low-end through DG...

Blimey - lot of overdrive options on offer there!... I'm guessing you're not on a folk gig. So it made a pleasing noise then?

Cor!!! That's a beaut'!

More sympathy available in 'Effects'...

Nope it's a guitar show with some bass stands... we are the ones being tolerated. Watch for the bass component to be squeezed out progressively.

I have eaten humble pie on this matter. I'm seeking advice about flying into incandescent rage every time I see a repeated or misfiled Basschat post.

I deserved that!

Don't you guys do a search before posting? We've done this before. They're great but not a panacea for technique....

I thought he used Trace Elliot?

So the artist page has Nita Strauss as a visual... I don't think she'll be there. LBGS needs to shape up and say what's going on...

So when I last went, we had Mark King and Gary Willis absolutely killing bass-wise but more recently it seams to be more about celebrities who happen to play bass. Suzi Quatro anyone? And our Dingwall/Bass Direct pulling out?

So thinking of going.... can't be arsed reading the last five pages. Is it actually going to have proper bass players this year rather than random bass-related celebrities. And I can't see Dingwall so no slant fret action?

Having taken a look at ACG's site I tend to agree.

"This one go plunk".. P-bass

But, here's the thing.... new strings on any bass with a neutral setting is a 'killer P-sound' right?

Probably get more response in 'Amps and Cabs'?

OK Joe - thanks for the offer. I loved your 'Basslines' book back in the day -such a reference point. I was really intrigued with your references at the back of book - for Slominsky, etc but I'd love to hear more about your Charlie Banacos interactions and what his take was on bass specifically? Did he treat it like any other instrument or did he have a view on its role?

Totally agree. It's a great tune to start off with but like the Joni tunes, Jaco just lifts it out of the park. Having played this live, I'd suggest a compressor to get the harmonics out there vs. the normal notes...
