  1. The best way to overcome beer gut woe is to ensure that you consistently drink enough beer on a daily basis to not care ...
  2. Rotosound swing are very low tension and very bright.
  3. Good shout. Truss rod aside I would have considered the loose fit of the neck joint unacceptable.
  4. I agree. He had a bit of an ego issue when he was younger but has mellowed with age. Top voice!
  5. I've lost count of the basses I've owned over 45 year's of playing: Everything from the sublime to the ridiculous. I enjoyed them all (in one way or another) but have come to the realisation I don't miss any of them. At the end of the day they were just things - instruments, tools of the trade or a means of expressing my musicality if you like. I've always considered the name of the player much more important than the name on the headstock. I'm weird.
  6. Oh dear, I kind of liked it (there must be something wrong with me 🤣) Even so I generally agree with everything said here 🤔
  7. It's so subjective given that ebony is wood at the end of the day: No two pieces will be identical regards hardness/tone etc. Ebanol is obviously much more consistent and is an excellent alternative of sorts. For me, ebony is my optimal fingerboard for the reasons already stated!
  8. Despite 'getting it' I have to confess I absolutely hate that tone on bass... Great music and playing though. It simply must be flats fitted for that dull thump.
  9. Same except my experience occurred throughout the skint 80's.
  10. Love the bass, love the colour, love the price, love that I'm near Glasgow... hate that I don't need it 😞
  11. A bottle of Jack Daniels and an upper class hooker ... Just joking 😁
  12. Super basses, congratulations 🎉
  13. Sound might have the capacity for altering the state of the listener? Who knew ...
  14. I song both harmonies and lead vocals. I'm not sure that I can share techniques other than practice, practice, practice. It's kind of second nature now... Incidentally I cut my young teeth endlessly playing and singing along with the Rush album 'Exit Stage Left' in the 80's which must have helped no end.
  15. I think you're going to find it easy enough to cope. I went for a period of some years with only one bass ...no problems at all. In fact, I've recently downgraded from three to two as I don't like extra instruments laying around that don't get much playing time. I could never be a collector 😉
  16. I've said it before and shall say it once again: If you want a really good Fender then don't buy a Fender.
  17. So sad to hear this, Gentle Giant are prog legends and Ray was a wonderful musician 😢
