Is it the big chunky gotoh bridge? I got one of these and sunk it into the body so the baseplate sits flush with the body.

[quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1397989505' post='2429194'] Thanks for posting, fellow CAT man! IMHO it was awesome, and I look forward to the album. Though, through my crappy headphones it sounded like a lot of processing and synths were part of it. Will revisit with good headphones later [/quote] yes i did notice that too - when you have the jerry hey horns playing you really do not need to double the horn line on synth would i be correct assuming that david foster was producing this?

somewhat of a different genre to all the bluesy stuff but the gary numan was still very interesting and suited hsi voice well imho [url="http://youtu.be/3NzqG0pBM58"]http://youtu.be/3NzqG0pBM58[/url]

Anyone ever seen a condescending advert for a bassist?

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1397919434' post='2428650'] The Emperor has got no clothes on ! Bowie hasn't made a decent album since Lets Dance, but he does still turn out the odd decent track that makes you realize what we we all missing out on . Should try harder , and could do [i]so much[/i] better. [/quote] [quote name='Spaced' timestamp='1397920634' post='2428665'] Come on, I haven't liked anything since Tonight but The Next Day is an absolute quality album! [/quote] yes this - all that tin wotsit thingy was bloody dire with only a handful of decent songs scattered in amongst what is undoubtedly a very bland portion of his catalogue from earthling to reality but next day is rather good imho mcton etc if he follows his track record then hopefully next day will be the first of another run of good albums which leads me on nicely to a lame excuse to post my favourite track from said long player ... the tension in this track is palpable [url="http://youtu.be/ROYKdwUba2k"]http://youtu.be/ROYKdwUba2k[/url] -

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1397840826' post='2427889'] Unless of course it turns out to be David Bowie, but, realistically, he is unlikely to be placing an ad on the uni noticeboard, even after the crap he's been turning out for the last thirty years. [/quote] How very dare you! -

[quote name='Shockwave' timestamp='1397847603' post='2427992'] [/quote] Looks lovely ! what year is it? even some of the squiers can be hit and miss too - i saw a blue affinity J identical to mine in Wunjos a while back that was new but the finish was nowhere near the quality of mine which is 2009 - form what can tell from your pics this one looks rather nicely finished bring it along to the south east bass bash and we can set up out own little budget corner lest our lovely squiers should be contamined by the proliference of kingbasses and various other fad gadgets [quote name='chriswareham' timestamp='1397860227' post='2428129'] Doesn't feel as substantial as a Fender branded one, but I guess that's just a difference in the materials they're made from. [/quote] would agree with this too but with some replacement pups they can sound way above their true price range here's mine complete with scratchplate that makes it look like i smoke 80 a day -

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1396047187' post='2409537'] Yeah f*** corn syrup. And f***ing palm oil. And why don't peeps eat butter anymore? Because they were taught to eschew healthy natural products and eat that sh*t the gub'nint says is healthy - highly processed, toxin-rich f***ing sh*t like Olivio. [/quote] real proper actual genuine butter is, weight for weight, just about the cheapest option now compared to all the artificial 'tub of grease' alternatives is a sad indictment of society that people will pay more for a less healthy artificial alternative PS can i have the gig now please i promise i will only have a sneaky bacon sandwich while nobody is looking using artisan baked bread and bacon from responsibly farmed piggies -
Today this happened to me and it involves precision basses

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1397637639' post='2425817'] I'm happy that the OP was delighted with the music coming out of the radio and the bass tone contained within. And it seemed to be a self contained, non-projecting personal opinion too. Why some knuckleheads can't resist turning it into a P vs. J thing then a P vs. everything else thing is beyond me [/quote] because J's are clearly superior! -

[quote name='allighatt0r' timestamp='1397635079' post='2425779'] Jazzes are clearly for the more intelligent, discerning type of individual. [/quote] definitely this and they are so much more versatile too -

not a session player here but a polite suggestion, Survey Monkey might be useful? [url="https://www.surveymonkey.com/"]https://www.surveymonkey.com/[/url] or possibly even use basschat's own poll options

Appearance of you and band on stage - clothing opinions?

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1397095200' post='2420639'] Basic rule of thumb for bands. Dress the same as your audience only 10% more so (unless you're Mr Dick Venom). [/quote] you saying i should wear the wedding dress AND the tiara? -

[quote name='alembic1989' timestamp='1396946438' post='2418903'] Wicked thread..love Franks music. Some his solos on his lendary SG are my all time faves...his solos seem to have so much WEIGHT!!...

why laziness? it could be lack of confidence to go out and gig? not insurmountable at all just needs a bit of focus and direction

Anyways ... Back OT. I do agree KevB all my favourite Jaco stuff is with Joni There was a thread on here a while back about JM re her interview describing Jaco and her comments about him were very sympathetic and she certainly did appreciate just how much he suffered from the tortured artist syndrome amongst other MH issues and gave him space to do his thing Interesting to note that on live performances Pino chose to replicate the Jaco lines. Ery closely (the japan performance of Hejira springs to mind with Wayne shorter in the pinewood trees !) and personally i agree it's a perfect bass line and is integral to the song
