Shockwave

Of course a bass can be a melodic or lead instrument. It's very difficult to form a band around it but can be done. My Hardcore punk band is built around my bass playing. I have a couple of solos and lots intricate lines. But because the songs are built around the instrument it does not sound contrived or shoehorned then it sounds great. The crowd seem to love it too.

Wow, this new track is amazing! [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DRCGcuByQc"]https://www.youtube....h?v=8DRCGcuByQc[/url] Guest musicians, that drummer is crazy. But Joe is on top form. That bass run!!

Criminally underrated. A fairly well known youtube bassist cops a decent Tool tone on one.

I really don't think that's a bad price at all for a US made low production number bass.

The new single reminds me of his sons band Fiction Plane.

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1476263125' post='3152723'] I've just contacted Hercules via their website, so I'll see if they can help. Having a wee google, apparently rubbing alcohol could be a contender for getting rid of it, but there is the chance it could also make things worse. I have ethanol in the pantry (used to use it on cake decoration), so if Hercules can't help, I'll give it a blast & let you know what it does. [/quote] Lynx Deodorant will do the same thing. Give it a shot. I clear all my sticky situations with it.

Would totally rock this. Needs a louder paint job though. Pink and black zebra stripes.

Pretty sure I auditioned for these guys a while ago. I didn't get it as they didn't want a bassist that played beyond root notes Rehearsing under the arches right? Unfortunately I don't rate my guitar playing skills enough!

The best, cheapest and obvious solution for stickers is your standard Lynx Deodorant! Comes right off.

Have to agree. This is right up my street but there is no audible bass from a bass. The guitar is way too high in the mix.

Those saddles look adjustable from side to side, can you confirm?

Wow, that's amazing. Tempted as I am I would like this to go someone truly deserving! How about putting this in for the SE bass bash raffle?

[color=#34495E][font=Lato, sans-serif]Well the entire Telecaster nut is 42/43mm. The Silvertones is more like 40/41mm. Thought the tele was wider! However it does help with the range of guitars I could use![/font][/color]

[quote name='EliasMooseblaster' timestamp='1471349790' post='3112339'] Now there's a curious coincidence! (And very reassuring that I'm not the only one who was impressed with the sound of it!) You weren't the chap trying a bass out in the other corner when I came in, by any chance? [/quote] Nah I don't think so. I was chatting to one of the Tom's. There was an Asian guy ripping some Level 42 lines if I remember.

Was in the shop when you were trying this out. Sounded pretty good to my ears!
