Those lower horns are a swing and a miss aren’t they. Also goes to show that not everyone can design a decent looking single-cut.

G-series could be interesting though, Godin vibes probably.

 

Si

Yeah doesn't look great, but it might be down the not being able to legally do much better due to copyright etc. Not a fact, but might be the case?

Remember this from the 90’s but have just been listening to “Get Money” recently and wondering if anyone knows the actual effects Silvia Striplin’s bass player used on the original?

Mutron? Envelope?

Sound juicy AF either way

I have one of these. Bought it from ishibashi in 2008. It’s hands down my favourite bass.

I know it’s down to opinion but whomever buys this will not be disappointed, not at this price.

Welllllllllll the internet is a bit of a mad space isn't it?? I've just been chatting to Joshua Crumbly on instagram, he's playing a american pro 2

I thought it was Vintera also (I was wayyyy in the back when I saw them in London last week)

Jesus it's amazing you can get in touch with people and ask them, back when I was a yoot I would have never have dreamed of contacting someone directly.

p.s. I'm digging the Dakota Red

I didn't know she was on the line up, just happened across the set on iPlayer, best thing so far by a mile.

Yeah i was tempted to say the same thing. Amazing performance on the whole, think being on that particular stage takes a lot of pressure off. She seemed to be having fun with a lot of the gig. Me and the person I was watching with were talking about how long she’s been going (and moloko also)…..shes just incredible.

set list attached…..mission accomplished…

For me Roisin Murphy’s set fukin killed….

anyone got a line on her bass player?? Thought he (and the rest of the band) did an amazing job. If you haven’t seen it-watch it!

Ah right! I see that squire are coming out with a dakota red soon. Is that definitely seafoam that Bridges player had or was it a blue colour?

Even wife commented on that bass, I couldn't see it very well as it was messing with my colour blindness. Looked something like a 57 reissue kind of thing.

Yeah im well out of the game, don’t recognise anything anymore. Looked like quite a wide neck so was thinking 50,s but the body colour said elsewise

Anyone got a name for Leon Bridges bass player? Is he just the gig guy or did he play on the records also?

Anyone got a clue of what P bass that was also? 80’s?

thanks

Ok, cheers all for your opinions!

I think it was 2006! Small world! Miss that store, still think Chris does the best set ups (for me anyway.)

Ok, until I get my hands on a special to try I’ll carry on searching for a rosewood classic/vintage white with a tort pickguard classic stingray then

Neck width also depends on when the one you played was actually made, they did used to be wider.

Its really odd, I though the maple fingerboard versions felt narrower but later found out they measure the same. I wonder if the generous slab of rosewood or ebony make them deeper? 
 

The new maple boards are super comfy though, in between a Jazz and P. 

I bought it fresh from Bass Centre when they were near Liverpool st. There was a mix up at the time and they had to swap the neck. I was pretty green to gear at that point (although I’d been playing a long time) so I didn’t know that was a bit controversial.

Not sure what it was, but I just didn’t get on with that bass.
Then the classics came out and I LOVED what I could do with those. Passed up on buying one in New York for a great price and regretted it ever since. Was wondering how these compare? Might be one for @Chiliwailer to answer?

I’ve had one since Sept ‘18 and really like it. Been playing Rays on and off for about 24 years. 

It’s definitely different. In some ways it misses the aggression of the old 3 bands, but it makes up for it IMO with a hugely improved preamp that gives you a lot of useable flexibility. So it kind of sits in between the old 2 band and 3 band models doing its own thing - but being more mellow or open like a 2 band when you want it.

Every so often I miss the bite of my old one, but I have a HH Special and the versatility and improved ergonomics win it for me.  

 

Ok, that sounds pretty interesting. Surprised about the lack of bite as I thought thats what they were going for more of.

If you want an MM with a narrow neck - get a Sterling.

Nice one Bredbin.

Hi All, been a long time.

Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the new Musicman specials? Worth the hype? Read good things about them. 
I used to have a musicman in the mid noughtys but never got on with it (neck was too wide for my playing I think)

Before dropping a flip ton of money on one I wanted to find out what the score was with them.

Hope everyone is well.

Was lucky enough to see them Live when i was in L.A. last year, here's the link to the Show

-Got to meet Jack Stratton and Theo Katzmann beforehand and told them they should get over here and tour, think its down to money more than the will.
Can you believe Markbass or Fender haven't picked him up to sponsor him??? Friend of mine who plays Irish folk music informed me JD plays with and Irish Folk group too.

If you're made of money and looking for some serious vintage there's Chelsea Guitars right under the Chelsea hotel

http://www.chelseaguitars.com/repairs/

Pretty serious place visited by well known people.

I was taking turns trying out this vintage Jazz with this Aussie stranger when a tramp walked in and started taking to the guy behind the counter.

It was only when me and Aussie left, he asked me did I realise who the trampy bloke was, 'course I didn't....turned out to be Walter Becker (if you're into that).

Ludlow Guitars in LES is amazing for pedals, a few nice basses there too
