I think he's a great player and nice to hear he's a nice guy too. I do think he needs a bigger pedal board though!

I think the 4 tops win the suits and the bloke with top hat wins the dance contest.

All of these this vs that topics reminded me of this video. It's one of my favourites if only for the suits:

As others have said I love the rawness of Stax pver motown and I can listen to Duck Dunn'so playin all day. Also Stax of the Funk Vols 1 and 2 are my favourite compilation albums.

Also Motown didn't have Sam and Dave and Rufus Thomas.

My theory on GAS and hopefully I'll be more succinct than Scotty D...

My handwriting is ok. It's legible and some people think it's pretty i.e. I get asked to write stuff when I'm in groups at work, on the white board, on big sheets of paper. Gimme a bic pen and my writing can be understood but given the choice I'd buy myself some Papermate 'Atlantis' pens as they're a bit more expensive but still very affordable, they feel good to me (and I can easily identify one if my colleagues nick it). If I'm feeling flush I might buy a Lamy pen, their Scribble and Dialog are personal favourites, as I quite like their style and design.

My point....
I've played Squires, Epiphones, USA Fenders, Musician basses etc and I'm fortunate to own a really nice bass at the minute. Do I sound any better or worse on those different basses? Perhaps? Yeah some feel better, are better made and will inherently be 'better'..... but I still sound like me on them.

In the same way a pen might have a moderate influence on my hand writing it's always gonna be my handwriting, the same way a bass will dictate some small changes to how I play/sound. Gimme a crayon and my writing will look clumsy for sure but once we hit a certain standard its calligraphy lessons that will make the difference not a quill and pot of ink or a Mont Blanc. Same with bass, concentrate on what you play and becoming a better player and the other stuff will come.

Disagree if you like but those are some fine pens

Is your name really Pauline? https://youtu.be/aus3szpa8nU

Very tempting but I need to check the finances after xmas if this is still around. Are you looking for a sale or just a trade? Do you have any pics and is postage and option? Cheers

What he didn't say though, was which one his basses was best for playing metal!

Also my yamaha bb1100s has nice slim neck too. Perhaps not as slim as a jazz but definitely slimmer than most precisions.

I thought about entwistle pickups but it looks like they only do 4 strings.

Thanks for the tip off.

Weak how? Do the break easily or just not stay in tune? I've not had much trouble with the latter yet?

MTD CRB is a quality P bass with a very slim neck.

Not Quite a new bass day as I picked this up last week. Bit of a bargain on flea bay so I bought it on a whim to give 5 strings another go.

It needed a good clean new strings and set up and while I'm still not sure 5 strings are for me, it is a cracking bass for the money. B string is really clear, good tone and really easy to play.

If I keep it it may get a bit of modding, possibly a Kiogon loom or a preamp and new pickups, any recommendations gratefully recieved but nothing too pricey please.

Crap photo attached.

Nice bass, very cool. Have a bump.glwts on me glwts

Just use 2 Hiwatts flat out through 4 off 4 x 12s with old Fane 50w speakers. There's the sound, no mystery. It'll be bloody loud though.

Is that one of those lightweight modular rigs?

Doesn't it also help to hit the stings really hard almost above the neck?

My 9 year old daughter said at dinner the other day "I don't like Justin bieber", "that's cos he's a bell end" was my reflex response.

My wife didn't seem to think that was the best thing to say but I stand by my comments and glad my daughter has taste!

Nice

It's a regular music action. My uncle who plays oboe and does various musical things travels up from Essex on a regular basis to go to the woodwind auctions so I know he holds them in fairly high regard.

Watch out for the fees though, they can add quite a bit to the winning bid.

Pub I was hoping to use is booked and as not much interest in don't think this will happen. Be good to do something next year though.

Sold

Marshall MB15 practice amp for sale. Couple of minor nick's in the tolex but otherwise in very good condition.

8 inch speaker, 15 watts, 2 channels classic (overdriven) and modern (clean), aux in, headphone out, compressor. Sounds really good for a little amp.

Selling to free up some space and its not really needed at the moment.

£40 collected from Bristol or I'm happy to post at buyers cost (I guess about a tenner for UK mainland) and risk.

You are welcome to try it if you are interested. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers

And sold

I get a load of bottom end out of my obt through a bf compact. Maybe a change of cab would help and be easier on the back too?

I was gutted I couldn't make the recent South West bash so wondered, if I can sort a venue, would anyone be interested in a Bristol bash before Xmas. I know it's short notice but I've just had my 2 December gigs cancelled so feel I need something bass related in my life before Xmas!
