    What's the general standard of player who reads Basschat?

    in General Discussion

    I have very low standards :)

    In all seriousness, how good or bad doesn't really matter. It is what you do with the skills you have. I am an accomplished hobbyist of 25 years (early 40s) with limited reading skills but reasonable understanding of scales and such, my approach to bass playing always has been to tie with the drummer and create the foundation for a band to be the best it can be. That means I do not solo (often) or create hugely intricate parts (often) but I do make my band a better band.

    Does that make me better of worse than anyone else? Who knows, I am happy with what I do and ultimately music is a way to express who you are as a person. IMO.

    I give this the benefit of the doubt, a Dingwal Super J 5 is 32-35" and they appear to work well enough. Also Stevens (Germany) built the FJ-5 which had a 34-35.5" scale and I believe the fanned father Ralph Novak uses 34-36" on his 5s. Dingwals are undoubtedly awesome but they didn't invent nor are the only one to succesfully use the Novax patent, this may be a really good bass.... Or not :)

    JG is the man, not the only great fretless player in the world but he should get much more recognition than he has......... Sick to death of reading about fretless "beast" Tony Franklin, to me he is to JG what Dacia is to a Bentley. Sure it gets you there, but that is about it.

    rant over :)

    FS/FT: George L plugs (and some cable) and Planet Waves Jack-Jack SOLD PENDING

    in Effects For Sale

    Probably best placed here, I upgraded my patch cables to Source Audio SIS last year and am cleaning out some clutter.

    10 George L angled plugs (standard)
    Some cable in between them
    2 straight Planet Waves Jack-Jack plugs
    2 staggered Planet Waves Jack-Jack plugs

    George L's are 5 quid per plug, so 30 for the lot seems fair. Shipping excluded, P&P is 10 quid anywhere in Europe.

    It is completely stock, incredible value for money and if you would spend some dosh to stick in East 2 band tone controls and a US Bartolini it would compete with most high end fretless basses.... if you have the talent :)

    They are around 575 new, I am looking for 300GBP excl. shipping. I can ship with detached neck anywhere in Europe (in bubble wrap, tracked and insured) for 50 quid.

    Open to trades, as I seem to buy more stuff with funds I raise from selling instruments anyway. Not in need of any basses, but trades on FX, amps etc I would consider.
