  3. I've never got along with Musicman basses... So why do I suddenly have GAS for a 5 string 'ray? Odd...

      I'd imagine a used Ray35 may be the answer. Thought I'd get hands on with one in Guitarguitar in Glasgow on Sunday, but nobody seemed interested in helping out a poor bass player - too many guitards to be helped instead...

      Bongo V - Probably the worst Musicman experience I've had!

      The 5 is different though... Can't stand the 4 strings, but the switch on the 5 makes all the difference...

  8. Isn’t it crazy that nobody during WW2 had ever heard electric slap bass?

      Surely they hadn't heard electric bass full stop?

  9. Since when were musicman bongo basses hard to find?? GAS killing me and I can only see a couple available in the wrong colour 😂

  10. Sorry to bother you all, could I ask you to head to this link and subscribe to my YouTube channel?

  11. Assuming you wanted the bass, would you buy a 5 string that weighed 10.4lbs?

    1. Bigwan

      I haven't found an upper limit to be honest. As long as the balance is good, a 4" wide strap and I'm happy. I think the Lakland 5 string P I had was the heaviest at 12lbs... Having said that I've had 9lb basses that I couldn't get on with because the balance was awful!

  12. Stolen bass... Today I was given some old gear from a coworker who sold his house and is abandoning his studio.

    Among it is a hand built precision from the Netherlands. I had never heard of the builder so I searched google and found the man's Facebook page. I noticed he had 2 mutual friends. Posted him photo's of the bass asking if it is from his hand and it was indeed.

    I had also posted 3 pics of it on FB, stating I was handed this bass and I did not know the brand. It did not take long for the rightful owner to recognize his custom made bass which had been stolen from his rehearsal room more then 25 years ago! He showed me pics to prove it, and some social media posts from 2017 of him searching for his lost treasure.

    Today, I found him his bass and soon as I noticed it is his, I rang him up and gave him my address. Tomorrow he will pick it up. That will be quite a moment for sure!

    Happy days.

     

  13. Todays random bass musing - could I get a Precision Bass Lyte, put active EMG P/J pups in and also stick a Spector Tonepump in it?

  14. I was just about to list a bass for sale. I looked at the pictures with a heavy heart. So, I didn’t press the “post” button. I’m going to bed instead.

  15. Ever had one of those days when it's only mid-morning, and already you just want to climb into bed, pull the duvet over your head and pretend it never f***ing happened? :( :(

      That doesn't get much better mate! My boys are 6 and 8 and are awake at 6 (or before it!) EVERY SINGLE DAY. They don't know the meaning of quiet either...

  25. Is it not against the rules to post an item for sale on here asking for the buyer to send money through Paypal Friends & Family? If not, it should be!! I see at least 1 scammer get called out on Facebook per week and it's ALWAYS because the buyer sent payment through F&F. 

    1. Bigwan

      Bigwan

      I use F&F all the time on here, but I wouldn't use it with a noob or somebody without previous feedback, and certainly not on Facebook...
