  1. Sounds a bit off to me, pics would help.
  2. In my last band we credited each of us equally, figuring that no matter who had the initial idea we all made it what it was once it was finished. We also figured that if we made millions a third of that would be nice, as would if we made nothing a third of feckall was no more disappointing than all of it.
  3. It wouldn’t bother me, my applying would depend only on if I liked the band/music. Sounds structured and focused imo.
  4. Agree, difficult to say the Crue are a good example for anything 🤣 But I like that U2 agreement, and from what I understand Coldplay do similar. Saves the arguing & resentment, after all a quarter of mega-millions is nice enough.
  5. Who knows how much of the initial songwriting he does? Look at Motley Crue, Nikki Sixx does similar to AC (but even less) yet is the chief songwriter.
  6. The Little Mark Tube has drive on it but to be honest it’s so little you probably wouldn’t notice it as drive. It adds a “shimmer” and “life” to the sound that once it’s switched off the sound seems flat & lifeless, but proper drive it isn’t. It is great tho.
  7. I’d have said Kermit Vomit
  8. Yeah I’ve got a couple of their albums and think they’re a good band, the hate thing may well come from how popular How You Remind Me was, it was everywhere when it came out.
  9. @BigRedXi remember the Comsat Angels, great band, should have been much bigger. Also think I saw them on that U2 tour as well.
  10. Those five string basses, just new fangled fancy malarkey, never catch on
  11. I really should get The Joshua Tree. I saw U2 a few times when I was younger but not since about ‘82. Dunno why, I like them, tho Bonio can stick to singing and leave the preaching imo.
  12. I know full well that a Mexican Fender Precision would be more than enough for my needs. I prefer the US ones but in terms of what I need a Mex Precision is plenty suitable.
  13. Just shows, sometimes doing the simple stuff isn’t quite as simple as would initially have been thought.
  14. I found, having to learn much more complicated material than I’m used to for my current band, that both playing much softer than I usually do, and the age old “repeat the difficult passage on its own many times” really helped. Specifically re octaves, I use index finger for the low, little finger for the high, means much less movement over the neck.
  15. I suspect that setting up like that adds depth to the sound but without being really noticeable as an effect. Whatever anyone thinks of Adam Clayton or U2 they’re not likely to do anything that has a negative impact on the sound.
  16. Awesome setup and incredible price, a really bargain
  17. From what I’ve read the first time he used an Ashdown his words were “now that’s proper bass amplification”. Couldn’t have put it better myself.
  18. Passive Precisions, volume & tone on full. If I’m tinkering around at home playing to something requiring a softer tone I’ll back off to about 80%.
  19. Very envious, I didn’t know they were touring at the moment, I’ll check this out
  20. Withdrawn Brand new, hasn’t even been taken out of the box To fit a Squier Precision with the same spec as US Standards, has split shaft Bourns mini pots to fit in the narrower spacing. £20 including delivery in the UK
  21. Sold One set of tuners from a 2015 Mexican Precision, come with bushes & screws. Work fine, just pimped the bass with black tuners so these are going spare. £30 including delivery in the UK

  22. Sold One set of black Hipshot HB7s for a right handed Mex Fender in very good condition (only been on the bass a month, and bass not taken out of house/hardly used), come with bushes & screws. Excellent upgrade item for your fave MIM bass. £75 including delivery in the UK Pic to follow, was gonna keep my bass "stealthed" but have decided to keep to original colours, so keeping the chrome HB7s & selling the black ones.
  23. Sold Hipshot BT12 Extender, fits US Fenders, matches the stock ones on 2012 models onwards, will fit earlier models but if you have OCD proceed at your own risk. £75 including delivery in the UK
  24. Sold MXR M80 Preamp/DI, boxed, in good condition. £120 delivered in the UK

  25. I def agree with those sentiments, I’m sure there are very few who see a bassist using one fretboard material and think “I wish they were using the other type”. My realisation is more to the actual playing experience, similar to (although I’m not in the same league of course) Eric Clapton as mentioned above by @Ricky RioliI just enjoy the feel of a maple neck when playing more.
