  1. my smartphone: nokia lumia 1020. stereo hd videos at its best. love it.
  2. it depends. a good bass can provide low action with little buzz even when you did in. some techniques only work easily with low action, but usually the tone improves with a little higher action. choose what's best for you.
  3. it's just not really practical and more dangerous in many ways. don't do it.
  4. [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]I have the Pro-JZ3D in my custom jb.[/font] Love the smooth toneshaping and passive tone control and it works perfectly with nordstrand pickups. although I almost never use the mid control I can really recommend these preamps.
  5. it's good that you are so sensitive about your playing. that's why you are who you are. some days are just better than others.
  6. I just don't get this signature thing. the only reason for a lookalike that I can imagine is playing in an into-detail-tribute-band. I don't see any sense other than this. everybody will always sound like himself anyway and the only signature I like to see on my basses is mine - which I do.
  7. I had seen him with his european trio in hamburg last november. definately one of the best concerts I had ever been to. singer/songwriter/keyboardist extraordinaire and a really nice chap, great vibe and energy.
  8. ah, now I see. been through this too and I've arrived! happy new [s]gear[/s] year!
  9. seriously, andy! if you really want to improve something, please take a decent teacher. gear won't help your wishes, you already have some of the best gear you can get...
  10. [quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1388139342' post='2318764'] This is for Bilbo and all Pat Metheny fans. Pedro Aznar. The best bass playing percussionist ever!!! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-x-031gqsVI[/media] [/quote] great, beautiful musicianship!
  11. well, sometimes I even [url="http://3und.bandcamp.com/album/1st-and-last"]try to play it[/url].
  12. I' m krysh and have to stick with it, whatever it will be or -come.
  13. no fender, but a high-end handwired 5w champ clone a friend in new zealand had built for me and which is my guitar recording amp. does it count?
  14. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/vox_ac4_blue.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/vox_ac4_blue.htm[/url] ?
  15. There is no "band" that I would love to replace the bassplayer in, but there are a lot musicians I'd love to do an originals project with like prince, larry carlton, herbie hancock, to name only a few...
  16. I had the experience with a 34" guild pilot 5er that the not so good B-string became really good when using a taperwound set of strings.
  17. [quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1387226659' post='2309666'] Very Nice. I have a Guild Pilot (like the one on the left) in yellow with Kahler Tremolo. Superb basses. [/quote] good choice, and if you put the right pickups in these pilots they're epic.
  18. here my beloved pair of guild pilots:
  19. [quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1387195490' post='2309144'] Slightly off topic, but did anyone else notice that there was a floor mounted autocue with the lyrics during Elton and Gary's duet ? Partner didn't believe me until I paused the tv [/quote] I think that everything that helps to improve the performance is fine.
  20. I never broke a string on bass within the past 30 years but always have a spare set with me. on guitar I only had a few string breaks on rehearsals and I believe only 1 at a gig in the past 30 years, but usually I use 2 guitars on a gig and have some sets with me anyway.
  21. don't you have this already, it's called "later with..." off with the coat....
  22. get a cheap used pedal first and try it. you can hardly lose any money then.
  23. anybody mentioned [url="http://bandcamp.com"]bandcamp.com[/url] yet?
  24. I never personally tried either, since I went the custom pedal tube preamp route but for 1u I suggest either demeter, an old aguilar, alembic or go 2u and try the new hype: http://www.juleamps.com/bass/monique.html...
