After nearly 40 years of playing, I've come to the conclusion that a good old passive Fender Jazz or Precision is what suits me best. My favourite's are Japanese Fender's because of the gloss neck but they are also the most comfortable to play in my hands. My Mexican FSR 70's Precision is sublime and the best Jazz I ever played was the Mexican 70's Classic. The best sounding Precision I've played is the Mexican Mike Dirnt and I've had two identical AVRI75 Jazz basses and one was incredible and played itself and the other was as dull as dish water and far from anything special. My first ever Stingray was an absolute dog, my second was nothing special and mega heavy and my third was really nice but my recent fretless SR4 was easily the best Stingray I've owned.

Good luck with the sale.

Thanks for posting, will be keeping an eye on both of their amps.

Really cool. Not stuff I’d ever considered. Thanks!

You are welcome, I'll dig out some more for you as well in a bit.

Some nice ones here,

It just sounds to me like a really good vintage P-Bass, with the tone set mid-way so there's just a bit of clank and bite but still some warmth in the overall tone. My 77 P-Bass I had sounded exactly the same. I'm also going to say he's probably using rounds but I could be wrong.

Mine would probably be my 2008 US Fender Precision and my fretless Warwick Streamer Jazzman.

Mine 😍

Hiya, I'll take this, PM sent 🙂

This is quite superb. Ryan Molloy genuinely heir apparent to Holly Johnson; pity they couldn't get it together to do an album.

I agree, that was really good and I did love the bass tone. So am I right in thinking that the other singer at the front, bassist and guitarist were the original musicians from FGTH? If so, the bassist wasn't too bad

You also have the cheaper Musicman basses, I think they are called Stirling. Nice to hear the Squier VM 5 string Jazz is good, I'm looking to get one in a while as my first foray into 5 string basses. Ibanez is the other I'm looking at.

That was great but I was thinking more like this, just an acoustic guitar or maybe acoustic guitar and piano sort of thing. Really stripped back so the emphasis is on her voice.

Like her tiny desk one on youtube?

Ooh I've not seen that, will go hunt for it, thank you 🙃

She is not a funk artist though…..

 

While some of her arrangements have funk influences she is very much a female solo pop artist. You would expect the same from any of her contemporaries.

To me, she's a bit like a pop version of Shania Twain. On her own, she is a great singer and can get up with a band and carry it off with great vocals, melodies and a captivating performance. She can also put on the big show, with backing singers, dancers, lights, theatrics, backing tracks and and go large with the performance and still pull it off. I'd love to see her do a stripped back MTV unplugged type set.

Enjoyed Squid... But not Dua Lipa's pop-dance-fest. I always find it a bit worrying when there's more (choreographed) dancers on stage than musicians - it's no longer about the music, if it ever was!

Idles always great too. Shall peruse more when relaxing with a nice Penderyn after my gig tonight.

I like Dua Lipa and thought her Glasto performance was good but I do get what you are saying and I was hoping more for something a bit like this which is more like a band performance.

Dua Lipa 😍 Brilliant performance despite the cliche speeches between the songs.

For those who are using a Sansamp to get the Ampeg tone, are you using the recommended settings in the manual or have you created your own. If so, can anyone share their settings please.

I also did a gig and used one of the BA combo's, I think it was a 1x12 and I wasn't really very hopeful of it sounding very good but I was really blown away with it. It sounded really really good with my fretless Precision. I've also used a PF500 head which again I was really impressed with, I only moved it on as I wanted something lighter. 

Now Sold

Just bumping this and I would be open to sensible offers.

I've never used Reverb, is it quite safe or do you still get the usual scammers or waste of time interest?

Yeah, it is super slow at the moment. I've noticed a lot of the same equipment is still available and hasn't shifted and some items are really well priced. No idea why its slow to be honest.

New trade option added  I'd happily trade for one of the following,

Fender American Vintage II 1954 Precision - Sunburst or Blonde

Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazz - Sunburst or White

Fender American Vintage II 1960 Precision - Sunburst

Fender Tony Franklin Fretless Precision

These AI image generators, is it possible to punch in a few words or even sentences and then get it to generate an image based on those words or sentences? I'm thinking about an album cover based on either a lyric or meaning behind the song and rather than asking for an artist to interpret it as a piece of art, see what the AI come up with. Is that possible to do?

Thanks Tim, liked and added.
