ah yes, having just spent a while learning john martyns one world from the classics album, took a while,and I forgot how nice it feels,from start to finish to get it just so, a happy man I am, now for a bit of pino oleta adams track get here, how subtle do you want to go nice

whilst I enjoy most of the players in other posts, and a being a player for close to mmm years,can do most things, for me its not alway what you play but what you dont, we can all noodle about at 1000 notes a minute,slap a little and groove with the rest, but for me it all comes down to feel.and space cheers stef

used to play this pub on a regular basis, the six bells at chiddingly, some of the people who lived local and always came to see the bands were keith emerson,I spoke to him a few times,smashing bloke he would sometimes play the piano on a sunday lunchtime,a bit of jazz and ragtime bob hoskins, rodger daltry,his trout farm was not far, led zeps manager good times cheers stef

oh bloody nora, had a day of today after doing six on the trot, house to myself,nice I thought,time to do some playing had just finished doing some john martyn fretless stuff,some people ect, change to my 5er to some basic stuff,scales,runs and some tapping, put it back on the stand and it fell to one side, banged the machine head against the wall and it bent the a string machine head, its not too bad,but a new one is needed,also a luthier to repair,at least the headstock is ok,and no dings or scratches,but hacked off all the same cheers stef I need a drink

oh alright then,yet another from sussex,although I am on the east side hi and welcome cheers stef

going to do a trade my mim precision and cash for another jazz nice stef

[i]lovely sound,[/i] [i]really like the part with the drums and strings at two mins very nice[/i] oh and smile cheers [i]stef[/i]

theres probally a little misunderstanding going on,as I said in my original post, although I said I dislike my p bass,this is just my opinion,it plays well,the actions low,ect,ect it is just that I cannot get on with it. the neck is wider than my jazzes and it just does not feel right,I personally cannot get it to sound the way thatI want and therefore cant get on with it,so therefore its me not the bass, the bass is good,just not for me,so to say that I have the worst pbass onthe planet is a bit harsh to say the least, and as a couple of posts above have said their basses are good, as I said and will say again the problem is me not the bass cheers stef

I have a mim p bass, hate it with a vengance,been playing jazzes since the early seventies,got this to see if I could get on with it, as a firm believer that you can only get a rough idea with a 20 minute noodle in a shop,I bought this one,which in its self is a nice thing, dark red with a rosewood board,plays well,low action ect,just very much not for me after trying for ages to get on with it, so as soon as this old giffer can get round to learning how to post pics, its out off here so a trade my pbass and cash for another jazz,nice cheers stef

the very same thing the other day, for me it was it bites,this is england most of it was ok,just a couple of knarly bits that the timing was out but all done now,nice so good work fella it allcomes good in the end cheers stef

as above,but first and foremost do whatever you are happy with, given that four hundered pounds will get you a nice secondhand fender have a nice xmas cheers stef

for me it was a 72 jazz,because I had a 69 which I still have today, I sold the 72 to fund some trace gear this was in the eighties, oh how I wish ,but you can wish , one day I will have another

sorry to see this, thieving scrotes should have their testicles cut of with a rusty soup spoon hope you get some good news soon cheers stef

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1323860252' post='1467798'] @stef - I'm going to pester this community so that we organise a meetup of Basschatters at the show. You won't be forlorn or lost for long [/quote] now that could be a bit of a plan, would be nice to put faces to the fellow chatters, nice stef

I hang my head in shame in over thirty years of playing,I have never been to a show like this, been to the car show, not many basses though so I will make the effort to go next year,just mentioned it to the wife,her answer good idea honey,you go to the show and I will go shopping so there we have it,I pay for her shopping,I may buy some goodies cheap, job done, so if you see this guy walking about on his own looking forelone and lost say hello, I dont bite,will probally be the one looking wide eyed at all the bass candy on show and carrying too much for his little arms to carry cheers stef

cant believe this, I have got 5, and am starting to think I want another, a geddy lee perhaps, in the new year I think,
