  1. Ghosts is a great song and I always played my fretless on it
  2. yes, good luck. I've actually found two basses this way
  3. getting back to the topic, I don't think the OP is at fault here at all. This, 'so what do you want to do' is a nonsense thing because it doesnt really ask anything, because there seems to be no context. The best thing to do would be to phone or have a zoom/skype chat IMO
  4. I was lucky enough to play in a Jam tribute for a bit. I realised then how much of an influence BF was to me. Most of the fills I would do were very similar to Bruces.
  5. one of my biggest influences
  6. He played the song 'Ghosts' on a fretless precision. He put marks on the fingerboard so he would be in tune when he recorded it
  7. still got mine, I was playing it at work the other day. nicely worn it after about 150 gigs
  8. I have both the ampeg PF-500 and Ashdown RM500 EVO II. These days the Ashdown is my goto. It's VERY light and sounds fab. Ampeg is now my spare and unused in 2 years
  9. the vintage V74 or V74/75 would fit the bill. RRP about £350 but plenty for sale for less, plus 2nd hand too
  10. what do the numbers say on the bottom of the pickup?
  11. Unless I could something more expensive............................... that's fab
  12. He's funny is NB. He posted pictures of his Hollyhocks last summer. They were very tall. Mine were good this year, so I posted a picture on FB and tagged Nick. He came back with a picture of his, as tall as his house!! Hollyhocks envy lol
  13. I had a duff bass for a while. this one. Sold it without ever really playing it so I have no idea about the TBX thing
  14. never seen one of those before
  15. I recently got a yearning for one of these. I had one but sold it about 13 years ago. My brother has recently become a massive brian may fan. He has a great Korg era ac30, the modern BM KAT treble booster and now he has a green Red Special. He says it really is the sound. I plug mine into a vox tonelab thing. Use the treble boosted ac30 model. Works a treat
  16. Hi to you Simon from another based in Kent (Deal actually)
  17. Right then, to resurect this old thread Did my first gig last night with the sehnheiser. I set it up along side my beta 58, used the same eq and gain settings. I added a little more treble to the sehnheiser and I was really pleased with the sound. It worked perfectly. Nicely balanced to boot. A really good piece of kit
  18. superb
  19. That Tele looks incredible. I must get a tele as I don't think I've got one anywhere (I might have but that shouldn't stop me should it)
  20. If you buy new in the EU, you will pay the vat of the selling country and nothing else. No import duty or uk VAT until 31st dec, then who knows
  21. right on Ped
  22. I have to laugh at all this nonsense. Some people can hear the difference and some people can't. I would love to be able to NOT hear the difference, it would make life easier. Applying too much science to it is also a bit pointless. Everyone should gig a Steinberger bass, just once. Once is all you need to know that, the material an electric instrument is made of, does indeed make a massive difference to the tone. Those of us that have had a Steinberger ( a proper one) will understand what I mean about the truest fundamental note. me, personally, my number 1 P bass is alder, rosewood board. All my favourire sounding P basses have been this, except my first which had a maple board. I have a great band video, shot in 1988/89 using this maple board P bass. It sounds like a maple board and alder body P bass. Slightly glassier is the sound than the rosewood board bass. I don't particularly like ash bodied P basses but I do have one with a fretless maple board. It lacks the punch of alder. Now, an ash bodied telecaster (guitar) with a rosewood board really floats my boat, but a maple boarded one will cut your head of at 30 yards Enjoy everyone and happy Friday
