[quote name='kevin_lindsay' post='1247868' date='May 28 2011, 05:48 AM']Pino bought his Buzz fretless to use on the Don Henley session for 'New York Minute' when he found his fretless Stingray had been sent back to the UK by mistake and he needed an instrument ASAP!!! oops!![/quote] That is a gorgeously sensual bassline. I really don't know where Pino's genius comes from. I feel like washing my ears with medical soap afterwards.

[quote name='wombatboter' post='1246590' date='May 27 2011, 07:48 AM']I'm pretty sure that Palladino used a fretless Pedulla Buzz on "Playhouse down"..[/quote]

+1 Lets not pee on peoples' fire, or the mods will separate out the thread into two separate topics so the praise bassists can carry on with their thing undisrupted. The fat lady has sung.

But they were puppies that liked to chew on things. I was disturbed by that.

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='1239151' date='May 21 2011, 11:27 AM']Acme Low B2 is exactly that.[/quote] +1, don't bother putting anything less than 600w into each if you want to hear yourself on stage though. You could look into Barefaced offerings too.

I'm prejudiced, but against bullying and harrassment.

God knows. If I was to compare my basses to cars I've driven it would be Shuker - Audi RS6 Spectors - Audi RS4 avant Pedulla Pentabuzz - Ferrari 360 Celinder P and J update - Audi S3 Pre EB Musicman Stingray - Lancia Delta Integrale Alembic Series 1 - Aston Martin DB5

[quote name='4000' post='1241136' date='May 23 2011, 07:24 AM']Seal.[/quote] +1 but to be honest, you'd be playing for Trevor Horn if you were doing Seals best years.

I have to agree with the majority of touch typists here. I can do it and it doesn't help my playing one bit.

I would love to play for the James Taylor Quartet, Prince, Louis Benedetti or the Sunburst Band but suspect I'd only disappoint them. Have to make do with Kylie I guess.

[quote name='AttitudeCastle' post='1237803' date='May 20 2011, 08:55 AM']I think a "great" bass, is one that you connect with. Which is something where i think the price tag doesn't really come into it, though if you find some £200 Made in Korea bass which your [i]really[/i] dig but say some build quality or finishing quality issues show, or its just old and battered and needs to be retired after years of service, a "high end" version with similat to identical specs makes sense, (If that post makes sense!) But in the end the "greatness" is in the feel, not in the price IMHO[/quote] +1 Still prefer my 650 quid used spector for sound and feel to all the other basses.

[quote name='steve-soar' post='1236549' date='May 19 2011, 01:49 AM']America doesn't work.[/quote] Do you mean American culture? I percieve it spans the gamut of human experience. I don't believe its possible or wise to generalise.

[quote name='SteveK' post='1233001' date='May 16 2011, 01:25 PM']I think the op was trying making a point - I don't know what point as I don't frequent TB - I would guess that there have been a few [i]really[/i] dumb questions/polls of late.[/quote] The point I perceive being made is 'look at me'.

I like SS Steve, it doesn't matter to me if he's percieved as putting it on. I've got his first CD and yes its a little lack lustre in places which is disappointing. However thats the style he plays and he doesn't seem to me to be anything other than he is... ...EVEN if that risks appearing lack lustre. Besides which you can't blame him for surfing the wave of popularity while it lasts any more than Lady Gaga.
