    Basically tight grained wood (Maple, Ebony) is harder and brighter sounding. Open grained wood (Rosewood) sounds woodier and darker. A generalisation, but near enough. I remember when Pau Ferro was touted as a premium option, on SRV Strats for example. Now it’s considered a poor man’s Rosewood.

    You say that now….. but you’ll bond with it during the gig….. and want to keep it.

    Yes I have flats on my Epiphone Embassy (Thunderbird pickups), and it sounds wicked. I’m undecided about what to put on the Thunderbird, once its new parts are fitted.

    Rolf Harris was…..

    One for the young people there

    I'm ok... GAK have got one in stock.... so my imaginary self is in the car on the way to grab it....
  7. Rayman
    You’re right 😕, my LTD is out of stock, so technically it doesn’t count
  8. Rayman
    Not what I’d normally go for, but it would cover many eventualities….. LTD B-15

    …… there’s a gig tonight, and you can’t access your gear. There’s an amp at the venue, but you need a bass. It has to be new, from a store, today and there’s no time to modify it. What are you going to buy?

    I had the exact same scenario with a customer who bought some of my artwork. I sent it signed for, via our friends at the Royal Mail. They delivered it and somebody signed for it, but it wasn’t my customer or his neighbours, and it was never seen again. Royal Mail didn’t want to know.

    Awesome cheers

    🤔 definitely a 16mm hole, they’re too big for the 14mm holes on my Thunderbird.
  13. Rayman
    Oh give over will you!! I don’t need any more basses ….. 🤦🏻‍♂️ That’s absolutely stunning.

    ….. and USA made, not licensed

    Just to reiterate, these are gold, not worn, or silver looking, but gold, all gold.
  16. Rayman
    No screws sorry, that’s how they came to me.

    Bought for my Thunderbird, but these are 1/2” requiring a 16mm hole, so they’re too big. Price includes delivery
  18. Rayman
    He’s exactly who I had in mind…. SO cool to see a Thunderbird in that scenario.

    Nice bit of moderation with the title of the thread, I wasn’t sure if that was PC or not.

    I’ve always argued, that you can play any genre of music on any model of bass. In theory you can just own a P bass and play anything on it (except fretless obvs) but am I wrong? Do you have to have that Ken Smith 6 for the jazz stuff? Or that Gibson Blackbird for metal? Or that Hofner Beatle bass for your 60s cover band? I’ve slapped some funk on a Thunderbird when that was the only bass to hand that night…..it wasn’t pretty, but it was ok? Does one really need more than one bass….. regardless of your choice of material??? Or can one do it all? 😳
  21. Rayman
    Probably a stupid question, but will an Epiphone Newport fit into a regular lead guitar gig bag?
  22. Rayman
    Dingwall really is the buzzword at the moment isn’t it? Sheldon seems like a top fella, and the basses seem to be really highly regarded? My mate swears by his Combustion…. it replaced his beloved stealth Bongo as his favourite. Me….. I’d rather have an SB1000, but I’d certainly like to have a go on one of these to see what all the hype is about?

    Peavey Micro Bass combos can be picked up for not much. I have one, and I love it for low volume home practice. Simple to use bass/mid/high EQ, no other nonsense. Great little amps. I recently picked up a Line 6 Studio 110, which is nice too, but I like the simplicity of the Peavey and it sounds ace, to my ears. Like @BigRedXsays though… what sounds good to me might sound pants to you…. I went down the Markbass route assuming it would be amazing, it wasn’t, to me.

    Yamaha bb434

    You can’t go wrong with a Yamaha BB, at any price. I’ve had a few older models, and played a couple of the later versions, and loved them all honestly.

    Awesome, and exactly how this place is.
