You gotta do what suits you, I've butchered my USA Jazz bass and now I use it all the time as it suits me more now.

Nah I was talking about another band, that's w*** Ha only joking.

Just heard a clip of EBS_freaks band live with at least two of the five members depped afaik, better than any band I've been in by a mile! A sh*t hot band with sh*t hot deps is still better than an average band with it's full compliment of average practiced players, the reality is most of us are in average bands, that's actually what makes them the average

[quote name='Cato' timestamp='1503692700' post='3360418'] Beautiful The sound of a Ray with the look and feel of a Jazz? I don't see how you can really go wrong. I've been toying with the idea of asking Maruscyk to do something similar for me. [/quote] The only thing I would add would be a Musicman wheel of fortune truss rod adjuster, so much easier, oh and a B string

http://www.gedo-musik.de/shop/en/36-double-bass-5-strings Out of stock I play 5 string elec bass exclusively but 4 on DB and EUB, my approach is totally different to playing the DB and I think in many ways it needs to be to avoid injury!

Where is Owen? Gedo make a five string I think.....

I haven't purchased an Apple product since the day they automatically gave me the U2 album

[quote name='walshy' timestamp='1503689433' post='3360370'] That was my exact thought, I did buy the pink one too but this would be the one I would've put up as his signature model. [/quote] Jazz body, musicman pickup in the right place, job done! If they made a five string version with a sparkle finish I think I'd have to buy one.

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes! This is what fender should be building instead of the one he hasn't used for a decade as his signature! Ace

[quote name='project_c' timestamp='1503616531' post='3359788'] Piss and chewing gum? Luxury. Round my way in SE London we cover them in vomit, used needles and tears. [/quote] Ooh get you living in the fancy bit!

[quote name='oldbass' timestamp='1503654976' post='3359956'] Yep heard that before...never really listened closely to the lyrics but no doubt none of it will be acceptable in the crazy PC world we now all in habit... [/quote] It's just not a very happy go lucky subject for a wedding, I'm inclined to agree with her.

Our female singer didn't like the lyrics to BS so it got binned before it started!

Yet someone has bid on it!

[quote name='phil.c60' timestamp='1503573804' post='3359268'] But the streets are paved with gold..... [/quote] Is that why they cover them in piss and chewing gum to stop people pinching them?

It's a great little cab but it's a little bit boxy sounding to my ears with double bass, it didn't give me gas in the same way the Tricky Audio ones did, if they were more mainstream available off the shelf we'd see a lot more of those at gigs imo.

Can I be the first to suggest getting a dep?

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1503357343' post='3357628'] Can I be the first to say I'm not bi-curious? [/quote] I don't like having too many knobs to fiddle with

[quote name='T-Bay' timestamp='1503409141' post='3357985'] I have an aggressive form of arthritis and the pain in my hands can be pretty bad but the adrenaline of a gif means I never notice it at the time, can be crap after though. If it was me I would take painkillers (moderate amounts of alcohol also works well) and do it. [/quote] Awaiting an amusing 'gif' from Dad......

[quote name='T-Bay' timestamp='1503403177' post='3357895'] Very true, but not the two I mentioned as far as I know, and that's still very different to being a negative influence on the world. [/quote] I've got mixed feelings on the dogs trust but that's another thread, one we've previously done too.

[quote name='Les' timestamp='1503402572' post='3357882'] Everybody contributing to this is to be applauded for not flying off the handle/shooting from the hip and generally taking my original question in the spirit is was intended despite it being a controversial issue Thank you Les [/quote] I think we can all see that your intentions are good, personally they wouldn't bother me even less so if you swapped one for a stars and stripes but it looks that ship has sailed. Get some new ones and keep rockin'

[quote name='T-Bay' timestamp='1503396140' post='3357817'] There must be loads, they just don't spring to mind easily. The RNLI and The Dogs trust are two that jump,to my mind but there must be loads, but I guess they are only 'local' as in the UK. [/quote] Most have become top heavy corporate monsters I won't support anymore.

Such a great colour!

I can't imagine there's a single organisation that grew to the point of having a recognised flag that the planet wouldn't have been better off without their existence.
