New Fender American Professional Classic Jazz Bass
Lozz196 replied to HeadlessBassist's topic in Bass Guitars
Yup, my 2015 black/maple American Standard Precision is the same -
This happened in a pub in Hemel that my old punk covers band used to play, back around 2010. They used to pay £300 for bands, and pretty much have capacity (120 people) every band night. But once the pub changed hands the new "business minded" owners/managers thought £300 was too much so paid £120 to single performers with backing tracks/duos with acoustic guitars. Who played to about 16 people. Thankfully the pub is now owned/run by a guy who used to be a singer in a band, and he has bands on most nights, pays well, has really put some work into the stage area, and as such punters are back.

How many hours do people practice?
Lozz196 replied to Bassbooksbikes's topic in Theory and Technique
I play when I feel like it, some weeks that might be every day, others may only be once or twice. Only differences to that are if I have a gig, where I`ll go through the set a couple of times in the week of the gig, or if learning a song. I do try to play at least once a week though, I find it very therapeutic just playing along to songs on YouTube. -
I’ll echo the sentiments of most on this thread, good luck with whatever you end up doing but hopefully still make appearances on here, wouldn’t be the same without you.

What are your irrational prejudices? I have some bonkers ones...
Lozz196 replied to kwmlondon's topic in General Discussion
It was on the radio in the 70s, I never listened to it but my best mate at school loved it. -
Well I really liked it, and for me it sounds like a pedal that could chunk up a Jazz pretty much to Precision territory.

Besides BassChat, where would you sell?
Lozz196 replied to Rob MacKillop's topic in General Discussion
EBay & Gumtree are places I’ve used. -
Disappointing new bass day...I would appreciate some opinions.
Lozz196 replied to N64Lover's topic in Bass Guitars
I’d be very unhappy with those faults, totally not on at any price, but especially at the sum quoted. -

When I’ve put Hipshot Ultralites into basses they’ve been slightly small, Hipshots advised to use aluminium HVAC tape to get them to fit and it worked well.

I do in 2 of my bands, the 3rd (which I`ve now left) did get some gain from a Sansamp, but only noticeable if digging in. Have to say after years of using preamp pedals I do prefer bass straight into an amp nowadays. Miraculously it sounds like a bass that way.

eBay 'Simple Delivery' (yeah, bøllocks it is!)
Lozz196 replied to binky_bass's topic in General Discussion
Yeah I put up a few items last week or so, collection only. -
I`m the same, plus inevitably when I speak to someone on the phone I forget one or more of the things I wanted to speak about.

Cheaper to get Elixir XL strings? Any downside?
Lozz196 replied to Mike's topic in Accessories and Misc
I can’t think of any problems, I use the regular long scale on my string-thru Mustang basses and they work fine. Ok the string-thru probably adds on an inch or so but that’s still 31” compared to 34”. -
Nice sounding amps, one venue we play has one as a house amp, a doddle to get a great sound quickly on a line check - always a sign of a good amp imo.

I’m not a particular fan, like some of the songs, but I echo the sentiments of others, great that they want to get together and make some music. I don’t think gender of either the drummer or keyboard player is relevant really, genitalia doesn’t dictate that you can play an instrument better/worse, pick the people who do the job you want the best, and who you can get on with.

Short sleeves for me - inevitably every band I end up in wants a “look”. To me everyone wearing the same gear looks like workers from McDonalds or any other corporate gear where the plebs have to wear a uniform to show that they aren’t management. But whatever “stand out from the crowd all looking the same” regimented uniform I end up in it will be short sleeves, I don’t like long sleeves and I don’t like feeling uncomfortable when gigging.
