    If we're doing individual notes in answer to this question.... here's my vote for 'E': [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUWn90y7Kgc"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUWn90y7Kgc[/url]

    He is good and very tasteful... liked Dog eat Dog and Wild Things Run Free. BUT if you're following Jaco you've a Herculean task ahead of you. Ask Victor B who is a great player but will always be compared with his predecessor - more so than anyone else just by proximity. Seemed to recall LK played a BC Rich at one point?...

    Hmmm.... I could do that EBS_Freak but that implies taste and subtlety. Bit I'm still loving the extremes here: 'ice-pick in the forehead' vs. 'drowning in chocolate' tones. Currently messing with that air-pump 'daisy-cutter' - trouser-flapping bass noise which is used to suppress civil unrest.

    I'm lucky enough to be the owner of this one! This bass is the end-result of this build thread: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=141577"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=141577[/url] I will post some sound samples when I get a decent recording and get my bearings around an enormous 35" 5-string fretboard. Visog P.S. Bridge P/U mid-boost Jaco tone is always fun but currently enjoying the neck P/U mid and treble boost for gritty 'Rick-o-tone'. P.P.S. Loving the consistency of tone across all 5 strings P.P.P.S. Use bass boost at your peril! Sorry Neighbs

    Yes - I have got one. What's your question? (They're big but loud!)

    Hi Bass Community, Want to tap your collective wisdom. My GB bass (5-string) is nearly ready (http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=141577) and I want an amp/cab or combo to reflect the high-end zing and bass burp these basses can produce. Any recommendations for sound production? I'm tempted by the TC Electronics BH500 + 210 + 212 offers out there for ~£700. What do you think or can you guys recommend something better? Constructive suggestions welcome... (but don't go insane with the budget right? I'm sure anything would sound good through a full SWR stack but I can't afford one and my wife would make me keep it the shed.) visog NP: Jamie Cullum interviewing Pat Metheny on R2

    The rough-cut doesn't look great but the final shape is worth it...

    Clamps? Here's 24 of them!

    Here's one of the top... looking good

    Hello, Some photos of a bass being born... Can't wait to hear it! Visog

    600w! 'home use'!? Anyway, nice cab. Good luck with the sale.

    Wow! Bump for your playing and your bass's fruity tone

    What a lovely bass. Really understated but with so many features. Plus you don't have to worry about dinging it (too much). If I wasn't committed elsewhere, I'd bag this for this great price.
  14. visog
    Good example. I've got one of them too but mine is more... 'abused'.

    I'd love to come to see him. Thanks for event. Work allowing, I'll be there. Visog

    > I have no idea how to measure it, drop me a PM please on how to do it and I'll drop a tape on it. It's just the nut to bridge distance, i.e. the speaking length of the string. (Shorter scales have less tension but may sacrifice the fundamental. Opposite for long scale lengths but you sacrifice playability. Note a Dingwall attempts to do it all on the one fretboard. Not played one so I'm not sure how it works out....) visog
  17. visog
    Good looking... What's the scale length? 34" or 35" visog
  18. visog
    Wow - that's some action! The strings are virtually lying on the fretboard!

    Eurosteve, Is it bolt-on or neck-through? visog

    >There are a few knots of wood on the burl top that have been filed and are noticable on close inspection. What on earth do you mean? (This bass would have been flawless leaving the makers.) Also, does it have ramp by any chance? Visog

    So if this is too narrow and a Yam's too wide - exactly what string spacing are you after? BTW what is the string spacing on the Carvin? visog
  22. visog
    Hi, What's the scale length? And whereabouts is the bass? Ta
  23. visog
    That's quite a bass! I take it from the $ price you and the bass are in the States?
  24. visog
    Senmen, Whereabouts in Germany? Also what are the controls on that? And does it balance OK when sitting/standing? Some Alembics are neck heavy hence some of the new shapes they've introduced. visog

    > I certainly remembering owning that combination of basses that you mention about 8-10 years ago... or maybe longer! Sorry perhaps you're right - time flies > Did you have an Ampeg combo at the time? Actually a Randall combo > In fact whilst moving house recently I found a pic of the bass that you may have bought, do you still have it? Yes I do and it gets an annual airing at a local music school show I do. It gets admiring glances and the odd "how much do you want for it?" > it had a bit of flame to it for an early Streamer.
