Super glue IS Cyanoacrylate.

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1479931651' post='3180432'] He only uses super glue for showing up the low spots on the neck though. The finish the guy in the video uses is a lacquer. [/quote] Er, you sure?

[quote name='dudi8' timestamp='1479756275' post='3179049'] Hi all! i just bought a vintage icon fretless bass (jaco style), and I'm thinking of modifying it any advice how? (which pickups, preamp,epoxy coating) Thanks! [/quote] Super glue! https://youtu.be/MyBsbNf9-p8

What about the old Tonestyler? Totally passive. https://youtu.be/vkgqmxfXKSc

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1478872240' post='3172269'] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgGM781nR2M Masterful. [/quote] Yeah, unbelievable. Really loved his work as a sideman as well, his work with Michael Brecker and Steps Ahead is something I never tire of hearing. Always struck me as such a nice bloke as well, very sad.

Not totally unexpected but still very sad news. For me one of the finest bass players there's ever been. Nobody sounded like Victor.

Probably starting to sound like a scratched record, but if I was looking for a reasonably priced super Jazz I'd be heading for one of these babies. Don't think you need to speak Spanish to get the picture... https://youtu.be/QVn98C9F-tI

[quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1477324468' post='3161425'] Hmm... We'll have to agree to disagree on that one... [/quote] 👍

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1477320464' post='3161390'] Of course you get away with any old crap if you play over the original synth bass. [/quote] Haha!! How did I know the first comment would be a negative one!?😂

[quote name='TrevorR' timestamp='1477165196' post='3160340'] The Wal sound couldn't be further from that... Famed for their growl and their middle but humongously versatile too. You might want to have a browse at my blog which should give you quite a bit to chew over... [url="http://walbasshistory.blogspot.co.uk/"]http://walbasshistory.blogspot.co.uk/[/url] Then check out some Wal tones in action. Here's my Youtube playlist...

What a bloody fabulous bass player he is.

[quote name='moonbass' timestamp='1476652113' post='3156076'] Or just do it with a bass: http://youtu.be/1XmcX9x4OqY Still pretty great! [/quote] Or this..... http://youtu.be/UoS5q4buIq0 Pretty great too!

Wouldn't this question have been more successfully answered on TalkBass, being that it's an American forum?

Complete thread derail, but I hear you're a big fan of Omar. That lovely George Benson style guitar solo on the end of Nothing Like This....that's my good friend Phil Hudson, that is!

[quote name='plumbob' timestamp='1382254061' post='2249647'] He's gonna struggle doing that live all on his own , I mean he's definitely gonna need a bigger set up than Leo Sayer !!! [/quote] He uses the great Robin Mullarkey on some gigs. https://youtu.be/IuMOy_EKbIU

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1475927369' post='3149822'] So. . . . I've just spent 2 hours checking out Louis Cole in all his guises. I'm loving it even more. [/quote] It's all good stuff, isn't it!? Have you seen any of the Knower stuff? Bit of Tim Lefebvre in there for you as well!

Check this out, Rob Mullarkey adding bass to Louis Cole's "Wierd Part Of The Night", pretty great I thought. https://www.facebook.com/robin.mullarkey/posts/10154713091646614

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1470253670' post='3104563'] The secret to DR,s especially fats is DO NOT stretch them. [/quote] Ah! Is that advice from DR?

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1470250856' post='3104520'] Can't see HiBeams individually :-( [/quote] Bugger! Didn't notice that!

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1470254556' post='3104578'] I have two... [/quote] Blimey! Very very nice!

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1470216080' post='3104094'] By 'edge bound' do you mean normal binding? If so, yes... [/quote] Yes, that's the stuff. I see you have one with binding yourself.

Bass Strings Online is your friend! And they sell DRs individually, if you want to customise gauges. Custom set of Fat Beams for a little over 20 quid! Even with postage and tax it still beats the crap out of any UK retailer's prices.

When I bought my (used) CIJ Jazz off here a couple of years ago it had Fat Beams on, 45s. Since I'm not a fan of steels and preferred 40s I found them to initially be a bit of a struggle. That is until I gigged the bass and heard what they sounded like! So full and rich with a gorgeous midrange! Blimey! I soon found I got used to the feel and actually started to prefer the higher tension. I decided when they needed replacing to go for Nickel LowRiders, 40s, hoping they'd be like a nickel version of the FatBeams. They are nice but they're not FatBeams. I'll be going back to the Fatties on my next change, buying single strings to make a balanced tension set of 45,60,80,105 and now that the price has come down I'll be having a set for my Carvin SB5000 as well.
