I like these but I want a five string!

Back on the waggon then, nice one

"game on!" ....."Car!"......"game on!"....

Just played the two octave F scale up and down a few times in a row with the misery stick Jake, and it was OK you know! Going up is pretty tight now even with the focus of the bow, I have discovered like everyone else putting virtually no rosin on appears to work very well. Lol. Going back down needs work but it should really tighten up that area where I am most vulnerable ADGC across the strings going up to the the D neck area. I have been looking at the chords within the scale too, I have been doing them sat down with an acoustic 4 string bass before transfering them to DB and something is trying to click....give me a few weeks

Now if he could find another shuttle to match yours and sell the focus that would work too so that increases the op chance of 4x10 goodness

They are totally different cabs, the focus cabs were less than half the cost of the shuttle ones new, some nearer a third if I recall. That doesnt make them bad cabs but I cant see them being a match, if the shuttle cab was pushed the focus could be destroyed without hearing it dying!

Genz never went bust mate, they were bought out by Fender a long time ago hence why any new old stock gear you might find is backed by a normal Fender warranty as it always was, they were discontinued and a new range of Class D Fender Rumble bass amps have been released, funny that eh? Matching another type of cab would be tricky I think, so hunt another one down used will be your best bet

This is where we disagree again dingus, many bass players have been terrible technically and in note choice etc but many people have gained enjoyment from listening to them, those go in the favourites thread IMO uxia in my clip has a clear understanding of music and the ability to portray it musically with superb accuracy and feel, doesn't mean everyone would enjoy listening to her, technical ability 100% though.

They are ok but there is no way I'd pay £700 for a new one when you can pick from loads of used ebmm ones for less money that won't be worth less than £400 as soon as you walk out of the shop with it!

There's some debate as to whether Tracy wormworth played on the record, afaik it was a jazzer session player from new York that was too busy to play the live shows?

It doesn't look 80's at all does it? Oh hang on...sorry if you close your eyes and think of the 80's.... it is exactly that! I shouldn't but I do like it.

[quote name='Doddy' timestamp='1407442331' post='2520671'] I'll go with 2 of your choices Pete.....but the girl off YouTube? I don't see it at all. [/quote] That is Esperanza Paul she is really......ah hang on you mean....

I dont like to put people into skilled or unskilled camps really, I enjoy a track by the band Hole as much as that clip of Uxia Martinez above but I think its fair to say one is more technical than the other, not better, not worse just more technical.

Oh I nearly forgot this one! Crazy pizz and arco skills [url="http://youtu.be/T93WcrvtVj4"]http://youtu.be/T93WcrvtVj4[/url]

Yolanda did a great set an NRCM a few years ago

OK as the other thread by Pixiechick23 keeps getting derailed about other peoples favourite female bass players not being very good technically we might as well have one aimed at that very topic! I will kick it off with the same answer as my favourite one Esperanza Spalding, that goes for bass and Double bass.

Nope not me, you have altered what I said to suit yourself I never mentioned carol kaye etc I know who they are. You are still struggling to see that just because you dont like a player it makes them a bad player, it only makes them bad to you! I dont like Jaco's music, does that make him a bad player? You are also struggling with "favourite female player" and "which female player has the best chops"

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1407422795' post='2520365'] I certainly don't want to sound pompous about it. [/quote] Im not sure how to break this to you?......

Well? Lol

All my basses get gigged,I never use the same one twice in a row so hanging them up makes rotating them easier, all my musicman cases are tucked away and I take a hiscox one instead.

I slap as well as I pick, terribly!
