Oddball jazz and the white one shall haunt my dreams.
Come to me,my pretties...... -
Now I've finally decided to keep mine,I can honestly say that it's a lot of bass for the money.
-
Flat,VLE at 8 o'clock.Just boost the (100 hz) bass on my Status some times.
-
Hohner headless stick bass.Would stay in tune for an eternity,great EQ system tht was bypassable,and weighed next to nothing.
Guess which numpty regrets selling his? -
Any bass with a slab body.Too painful on the forearm.
Wearing a bass so low that you can't fret properly.
Wearing a bass so high that it's under your chin.
Warwick $$.Bloody heavy.
Bass overdrive.
People who play better than me.
Oh f**k,I'm outnumbered! -
Absolute beaut!
-
Everything on this bloody site gives me GAS!
Will settle for a new kitchen though! -
Stealth basses!A pair of real beauts.
-
Despite dropping loads of hints,all I got was a pair of walking boots!
-
One of the best.Such a shame to lose such a talent.

Vintage EST96A(MM copy)or Bass Collection Speakeasy?
What to do?
Your help(or derogatry comments)needed. -
I've got a bit of GAS for the EST96A(I think),the MM copy.
It's that or a Bass Collection Speakeasy.Any thoughts on the relative merits of either? -
Try looking up the John Hornby-Skewes site.Vintage is on there.

[quote name='Monz' post='364796' date='Dec 28 2008, 01:26 PM']I know I'm on the bottom rung but my reach exceeds my grasp and will do for a lot of years to come i suspect...
We did a christmas gig a couple of weeks ago and a member of the audience came up to me after the gig and introduced himself as a fellow bass player, he said the bass was absolutely bang on, no frills and in the pocket the whole time. That to me was praise indeed as I know the fills and frills stuff will come with time, timing and groove is my main concern and what I spend most of my practice time trying to get right after sussing the notes of course.
The reason I got into this band was because the bass player they had was more interested in doing the one foot on the monitor solos than keeping the groove going.[/quote]
Spot on!I've learnt that the fills mean nothing without the groove.I've 'unlearnt' some fills and runs as they added nothing to the song;"play for the song and you won't go wrong". -
Perhaps if we all say that Squire's are sh*t then the price will drop and we can buy them for peanuts before people catch on that they're really quite good!
-
Can't play slap though...or in time...or in tune........
-
I'm good at what I do,and what I do fits the songs I play.The best compliment that I have recieved is that I am a solid player.That's praise enough for me!
-
That would make an ideal playmate for my Groove.Perhaps they'll breed!
-
Anything with no contouring(forearm etc)!

The VU meter is to tell you how loud the whistle on the kettle is -
[quote name='EssentialTension' post='359098' date='Dec 19 2008, 07:41 PM']Did you like the fence?[/quote]
Not sure.I think I'm sitting on it -
Nice bass,but I prefer the cooker(good flooring too).
