Nice. He's lost a bit of weight it seems too. I grew up seeing the IoW every time I went down to the beach..

Anything cheap and early 90's...Washburns, Aria Integra, etc.

Freemasons and Alanis Morrisette (who I now think is a genius song writer) Plus Bootyluv because of the great bass synth patches...their songs seem built on bass synth drums and melody.

Does anyone own a Super Swede?

Joel, don't take this the wrong way but what happened to the forum you had set up for this sort of thing?

Welcome Joel

Might be that the amp has some kind of preset tonal colouring which involves scooping the mids/upper mids (say a narrow band of frequencies anywhere between 600 and 1200Hz). SWR started it off and called it the "LA sound", then Trace and Eden followed with their own versions. Jazz basses sound great and so do basses which sound brittle. But other basses (especially with aggressive mids or treble) just sucked. Warwick did it too but less in favour of jazz basses and more for their own. Their amps sound great with Stingrays BTW. Try a GB Shuttle instead. Pure as the driven snow and you can stick a mid scoop in if you like.

I wouldn't mind getting into ceramics more...its on my list with a load of other creative stuff, mind. Sawdust glazes look amazing. Once saw some white porcelain dishes made with rough edges to the clay still intact and the porcelain was eggshell thin so the light came through. They looked exquisite. Can't remember the ceramicists name though.

I can't advise, I'm sorry. Anyone else having issues?

He's been posted on here before. Did you see the clip of him at The Bass Gallery?

May see if I can find a copy of the Bjork album just to provide a change from the dance stuff I normally listen to. I really liked his comment about her imagination - that is probably what characterises the good from the bad in music for me.

Would pay to see some Barefaced Wadgery.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1340837238' post='1710474'] I'm sorry... 'wadgery' isn't a word. However, I [i]do[/i] know what you mean by it. [/quote] Shakespeare made stuff up all the time and got away with it...are you saying I'm not as good as Shakespeare?

Too bad you aren't staying at Buckinghams. Amazing food, I shared many a long conversation with the owner who is a Master Chef.

Have a load of 4 stringers for classic tones and the 6 for technical wadgery. But I mostly play the Spector 5 and switch to the other 5's when I fancy a change.

I think he has the quintessential P-bass tone. Fat and mellow.

lol Back on topic.

That the wood you used is very old probably counts for a lot. The stuff I've seen in Myanmar was VERY oily and, to be frank, didn't need finishing apart from sanding. But sounded dead to me and very heavy. Not the best tonewood from observation. Good to know that it needs so much drying time though.
