Please explain "pants"???

I wouldn't have called the change from C to Em awkward!! Its a natural interval being a major third above. It seems technically correct but wonder if it really assists, if it does, great.

Glasvegas....God help us!! Just a Joe Strummer lookalike yelling in a mic with a light rope on it,more Butlins than rock. Like to hear him try and sing without the overprocessed vocal additions!!! Guitarist did really have to bring his mini Manhattan rig didn't he??? More visual than ability. All in all, a load of old horse sh*t.

[quote name='Delberthot' post='1189800' date='Apr 5 2011, 10:16 PM']From what I can remember, My Generation was recorded using a Dano I think. Anyway the story I rmember was that JE loved the sound of the bass but couldn't get the strings on their own so when they got dull or they broke, he had to buy another bass.[/quote] MG was actually recorded with JE using a Fender Jazz. The story re the Danos is true, but he used that on other early Who recordings.

[quote name='nig' post='1183513' date='Mar 31 2011, 04:30 PM']Effects...none ! lead to amp, the rest comes from the pinkies.[/quote] Totally agree. Like most, over the years I have spent silly money on pedals, rack effects and multis thinking I SHOULD be using them. All I have ever concluded is that they colour you basic sound even on bypass. Ive taken them out, got back my natural tone and sold the pedals at a loss. Never again.

Bilbo??????

Its not a fad for me either, the TC rig I have is perfect for my needs. After a nasty bout of sciatica last year, the Trace rig had to go. The TC stuff I tried sounded great, albeit very different from the TE. The cabs are manageable weight and the amp is a breeze to carry to gigs. As for volume, I just use the smaller 210 for rehearsals, which at times do get very loud, but the RH450 is never past 2/3rds. When the amp is running both cabs, its easily loud enough. Highly recommended.

This thread is what Basschat is all about. Nice one guys!

What about a Sansamp pedal or similar???? Advantages: No need to carve up the bass. Great sound tailoring Can sell it if you dont like it.

Often need to play an open string as I reach for my pint!!

The neck plate is F stamped. I can see it.

My "keeper". Its a bog Standard 2006 MIA Jazz. Here it is being played by a bog standard player:

Reports state he died from cancer this morning.

The seller obviously gets things back to front. I bet the scratches are actually in the top right corner and the bass comes with a HERFANNY case.

Hi from C/Ford!!

Adam Clayton even manages to bugger up a simple 3 chorder in U2s Love Rescue Me at 3.34 (in the shalalala bit). N00b. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTxYep9qgKE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTxYep9qgKE[/url]

Good news/bad news....these Lodestones [u]do not[/u] have the TBass/Status style laid back headstock, just a normal flat type. Just thought Id let you know.

Yes its a genuine Fender neck off a Mex 2009 Std Precision bass.

Sorry, got to the pic of the two birds and lost all interest in the band............. Will try again.

Oooh, bound neck with dot markers,quite rare! sh*t photo I agree.
