so who is Spartacus??? or Brian??

I can't think of any "bad" bass gear purchases this year. If I had to name the "worst" it would be the Yamaha BB414 - nothing wrong with the bass at all - I just didn't gel with it....My fault then. Best buy??? I bought several TE heads - all fantastic but that's no surprise...

Snowflakes???? I suppose that they are all white and wet...

Gloucester is better for metal???

Hmmm...I think we're heading towards a "bass players...they all sound the same" thread.. That may already exist on a Guitard's forum somewhere.

Nice...scratch the "F****r" logo off and and leave it by my front door... I can see somebody's Dad being busy in the near future...

I thought they all sounded the same...😕

I can't hear it properly....can you turn it up just a bit...

Richard Bona's cousin is a neighbour of mine - apparently there's a family get together in Manchester because of Richard's visit to the UK. I may try to slip my neighbour a few bits to get signed...

A great cure for GAS

I would be in favour of murdering Meatloaf if it didn't mean we'd be forced to endure hours of rehashing of BOOH.

I wonder what Saxophonists would have to say to this? In fact, what do Double Bass owners have to contribute???

I'd rather have the sand TBH.....Mince pies...yuch!! There's a good reason they're only eaten at Xmas!!

Oh no!!! If the OP is right, and it seems he is, we're about to see the market being flooded with all the excess gear we own. So which ONE do I keep???

Gentlemen....if you look at the bottom edge, just below the bridge, on your Jazz basses you will see numerous circular objects - from here on called "knobs" - various sizes and materials but they all serve the same function . Well, if you rotate these "knobs" you'll generally find that they change the sound or "tone" of your instrument, thus refuting the claims of the OP that "they all sound the same". Your own Jazz bass can be made to sound "different". If the assertion were true I would sound just like Jaco and would have no need to spend time and money in an effort to sound like Mr Pastorius (deceased). That being said, anybody interested in my Overwater Custom Jazz??

As mentioned in another thread it isn't always the weight that has the most impact on the playability of an instrument. This is so well balanced that I didn't find the weight an issue. It is certainly easier to play than most of my current basses - my Spector Jazz feels much heavier and that weighs in at about 9lbs.
