  1. Been following him for decades but lately he doesn't move me anymore...sloppy timing, cliches in his playing and he gives me the impression that he can't even play his own tunes without mistakes. Loved his first album Radio Free Albemuth but since then time stood still and nothing has happened.. Can't get why he's in demand while his fingerstyle playing for instance is "average".
  2. True (but I prefer a lower B instead of a higher C) Fantastic bass by the way, I'm trying to be rational :-)
  3. Know what you mean about playing 5-strings (I've had the same problem but still find them very tempting) Have any pictures of the side of the neck where the dots are ?
  4. Me too but the criteria for me to keep a bass is when it urges me to compose a tune or a song ...when I find after a couple of weeks or months that I don't take it out of its stand to be creative that means something to me. Whether a bass is cheap or expensive : it has to inspire me and that's a very subjective thing. Again : it has nothing to do with the quality (I had the same thing with my Alembics) but with a sort of X-factor. Thanks for the feedback !
  5. Bought this bass not so long ago here on bass.chat but I have my eye on something else so this is available... Sounds like it should (bass, mid, treble cut/boost) and is in good condition (some dings and dongs but nothing serious).. Unfortunately I don't have a case for it but I can send it well packed in an (old) gigbag inside a cardboard box (shipment included to the UK). It's from 1996 and weighs 4,1 kg Original ad is here : http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry3335082 Small vid I made which gives an impression of the sound I prefer on it http://youtu.be/gYwJtkFXLgQ
  6. On hold for someone, I'll see how it goes ...thanks for the feedback so far
  7. I recently bought a Status bass and it does more or less the same thing as the Jaydee in the styles I like to play sometimes (guess what :-)) so I decided to put this Jaydee for sale...It's in good condition and delivers the things you expect from it. Someone asked me how it sounds in other styles but to be honest : I have no idea, never used it for blues or reggae etc.. I don't have a case for it but can send it well packed in a gigbag (shipment to the UK included). Would prefer a local pick-up but there's water between our two countries so it seems (and some other things heading our way) Hope that Paul whom I bought it from doesn't mind that I use his pictures and I included some vids I made to give an idea of the sound but I guess it's rather "known" Not really looking for a trade and always ready to answer questions (feel free to check my feedback here on basschat) [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gN09huiALQ"]http://www.youtube....h?v=0gN09huiALQ[/url] [url="https://youtu.be/aaeShBe6MXM"]http://youtu.be/aaeShBe6MXM[/url] [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfXmpGG4LWs"]http://www.youtube....h?v=AfXmpGG4LWs[/url]
  8. A bassist on a Dutch forum made this..excellent imo [url="https://youtu.be/dPl6j9vv13s"]http://youtu.be/dPl6j9vv13s[/url]
  9. It's a 34 scale and I weighed it for someone : 4,1 kg...
  10. I live in Elewijt near Brussels.....not the easiest thing for a pick up but it is possible. I can also ship this bass (included in the price) but then you don't have the opportunity to try it out I made a quick vid with some sounds (it shows that I'm no hero on a five string :-)) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtrqbK2ftDo
  11. Weird since I can see them without any problem... No dings or dongs, excellent condition...put some new strings on it too and it is well set up..
  12. I have tried it countless times but me and 5 string basses won't become good friends anymore.. So I'm selling this bass which is in excellent condition and comes with a case.. shipment to the UK included Active/passive, bass mid treble, volume, balance... If someone has a nice Jazz bass which he wants to trade, I might be interested...you never know. Feel free to send me a message of check my feedback here on bass chat, thx..
  13. I can see every picture ... Meanwhile the bass is on hold....
  14. [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Selling this Steinberger headless bass..carbon neck, wooden body, passive electronics (volume volume tone), has the leg rest and all the sound characteristics of the more expensive L2 in my opinion [/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Comes with a gig bag and shipment in Europe included.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Feel free to check my feedback on bass.chat[/font][/color] Sloppy vid which gives an impression of my bass, sorry for the hasty phrasing [url="https://youtu.be/u2CI0PmW9u8"]https://youtu.be/u2CI0PmW9u8[/url]
  15. Love this one....would suit me better than the Steinberger XP I have for the moment (it sounds just like a Steinberger should but don't like the triangle form). Hope this one gets sold so I can get this off my mind and stop considering to sell the XP and go for this one. GLWTS
  16. Great bassplayer too... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8px0fO_es5A
  17. The solo on "Everybody wants to rule the world" Tears for Fears
  18. My first single here in Belgium...."Ballroom Blitz", just fantastic... just like so many of their hits
  19. Got any pictures of the side of the neck where the lines are ?
