[quote name='ARGH' post='91089' date='Nov 19 2007, 08:39 PM']Well lets face it....lets question why I created this thread. Ive let this run a few days,and either way,I dont mind how it goes. But it proves that there IS support for seperation,which I believe or at least hope comes from a genuine interest and need felt,AND upon the flipside, acceptance,saying YES they are Bassguitars,next generation musical technology,which we want to see more of,and learn from. Which is a good thing regardless of where anyone stands.[/quote] Perhaps you could start your own forum ARGH? You've clearly got bags of passion about ERB's, you'd be just the man for the job! I voted no to starting up an ERB section in this forum because I don't think it's busy enough here to warrant it.

This is my fretless made of (almost) everything black! It's now got an EMG j-set in it so it's even blacker.

Your GAS will get worse ten-fold by using this forum! What's that bass in your avatar? Some kind of fenderbird?

Nice one! That looks awesome.

[quote name='parker_muse' post='86396' date='Nov 10 2007, 09:33 AM']I think we are the only ones! I had an arguement with a kid in my class about him 'He can't play bass, he arrogant, up his arse and hes an idiot who i'd happily wipe of my shoe' 'Yeah, but he's hot so i don't care. AND HE IS THE BEST BASSIST EVER OLOL!!!!1111' Thats pretty much how it went. 'AND HE IS THE BEST BASSIST EVER' I hate it when the mini moshers say that. It makes me cringe.[/quote] So you're not into clean-cut mediocrity? Get out! Pete Wentz is the bestest LOLZ!!111

[quote name='Buzz' post='85211' date='Nov 8 2007, 01:30 AM']Squire are improving though, and to be honest, I doubt he plays the production model anyway, it'll just be money making gimmick.[/quote] [quote name='crumpet_tramp' post='85452' date='Nov 8 2007, 01:53 PM']Best thing any one has ever said him the little c*nt Mike Dirnt sig one looks cooler![/quote] The Dirnt Squire is great too, it's got a really nice feel to it and sounds good too.

I like these basses a lot and would buy one as a back up for my 70's P if it wasn't for that hideous bat thing on the body.

Quit making your life hard and buy a nice old Fender P and be done with it

[quote name='ARGH' post='82206' date='Nov 1 2007, 12:38 PM']Same here onstage,but in the studio its a totally different arena. Ive tried Ibanez and warwicks...numerous stuff,but the Fender sound just...well it fits,they are bulky,heavy,and crude...but they work,and engineers smile when they come out of the case.[/quote] My 70's P always sounds great in the studio, with minimal mucking around with things. My Warwick's on the other hand take a lot more work.

bump! -
[quote name='Cantdosleepy' post='80762' date='Oct 29 2007, 12:09 PM']Some lovely old P tone courtesy of QOTSA: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Dy56iQd6Jg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Dy56iQd6Jg[/url][/quote] Tone! I sometimes get stuck in a rut with the sound of my P-bass and go off it a bit but that changes very quickly after listening to a spot of his filthy tone.

nice one!

[quote name='chris_b' post='80291' date='Oct 28 2007, 01:47 AM']You can love your Fenders but, in my opinion Lakland, Shuker, Sadowsky, Alleva Coppolo and dozens of other companies consistently make far better Precision basses than Leo ever did.[/quote] So what is the "definitive" precision bass? Fender P's (especially the older ones) have got this kind of charisma that no-one's come close to copying IMO.
-
I believe both statements to be true. I'm trying to think of other things that have been invented and not changed much at all because they were just great to begin with... having no luck... Anyway, if it aint broke don't fix it.

[quote name='BeLow' post='79920' date='Oct 26 2007, 07:32 PM']Hey Thumbo glad it went well - slightly relieved would have felt a bit daft if you had a mare - anyway this way maybe I get ocome and see you playing bass in a country band wearing a tutu - never thought I'd hear myself uttering those words in the sequence![/quote] Cheers mate!
-
I love these amps. Good luck with the sale!

Hiscox cases are stronger than the Fender ones. I've compared both brands' cases side by side and just pushing down on the top of the cases alone there's a big noticable difference in how they flex. You can stand on the hiscox cases and they'll only bow slightly... i wouldn't dare stand on a fender case.

[quote name='BB2000' post='79207' date='Oct 25 2007, 02:57 AM']Why are folks so worried about neck pocket gaps? If it's 0.5mm or 2mm it ain't going to sound any different. If the neck moves in the pocket tighten the screws up! I've always preferred Fenders with a bit of a gap - with some of the Japanese Fenders you sometimes can't get a cigarette paper between the neck and the pocket, and more often than not you'll end up with paint chipping at the edge of the pocket if the neck does get a knock.[/quote] Why can't Fender just get it right? The neck is meant to fit snug in the pocket yet for some reason 1/2 the time it doesn't. It's a small example (and I agree, I doubt it affects the sound of the instrument) but it's one of many to add to the list of Fender's very poor consistency. -
Have a crack at learning a new song every day.

You don't want one. They're horrible and wrong.

No tutu pics I'm affraid, it was in the wash. The gig actually went really well, I had a word with the guitarist, told him exactly how I felt about stuff which paid off. We spent an hour before the gig going over stuff and I scribbled random letters on a some paper to remind me of things. I hit a some bum notes, but I hit them with conviction so they just sounded like dodgey notes, not mistakes! I'm glad I played the gig, I had a good time. I honestly can say that I wouldn't have played it if you lot hadn't convinced me otherwise though! Thanks We also got offered two more gigs, which with a bit more practice should be great. cheers

[quote name='Bassman7' post='76655' date='Oct 19 2007, 06:50 PM']You just got to have the next Mac OS X Leopard with a screen like this![/quote] I'm really looking forward to leopard, i think it's going to be great. They've added a lot of little features that just add even more convenience to using a mac. My mum's just bought one of the new imacs, it's an awesome machine.
