Normally play fingerstyle, so been messing about with this, trying to get into playing it properly with my thumb! Decent amount of face / bass / hat time for Will Carruthers too...

Anybody care to add anything to this discussion? [url="http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/bass-guitar-amps"]http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/bass-guitar-amps[/url] [i][color="#0000FF"]Any body got any recommendations for a separate bass amp and cab system for a band where the lead and rhythm guitarists are using 100 watts each? Playing mostly rock towards the metal end of the spectrum and using a 4 string Ibanez SDGR that cost about £350 when new. [/color][/i] I'll assume you won't want to join the middle-aged-IT-bod-mountain-biking world of STW, so post any responses here, and I'll link it across!

Listening to music or watching a band, I always latched on to the bassline. The thought then struck me "I could do that!", so I acquired a Tanglewood [i]Lone Wolf [/i]P-copy, and promptly found that I couldn't. Umpteen years and several basses later, I'm still trying...

I've also got mine recorded on [url="http://www.immobilise.com/index.php"]Immobilise[/url], along with my bikes and other portable items.

[quote name='StevieD_FenderP2009' post='1140522' date='Feb 24 2011, 09:52 PM']Thanks to the pair of you for sending over that picture. it's a real help and i'm so grateful. what is that book you're both using and do either of you know anywhere selling that logo? cheers[/quote] The book in question is [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fender-Bass-Illustrated-History/dp/0634026402"]The Fender Bass An Illustrated History[/url], sorry can't help with the second question! Doh, must type quicker!!!

White for me, it just seems to sit better with the binding. And yes, I probably am over-thinking this just a tad...

[b]First Bass Owned:[/b] Tanglewood Lone Wolf P-copy [b]'Go To' Bass:[/b] Squier CV '60s Jazz [b]'Your' Bass:[/b] Depending on what mood I'm in, Squier CV '60s Jazz with TI Jazz Flats [u]or[/u] Squier VM '70s Jazz with Chromes.

Not in a band, and never have been (although that could change if my mate the ex-drummer I was nattering to on Friday gets his act together!). As for basses, I've got the three I acquired back in the mid-to-late 1990s when I was jamming regularly with a mate from work (Musicmaster, '51 P reissue and '60s Jazz reissue), and the two Squiers I've acquired since finishing work in 2008 (a VMJ and a CVJ).

I've got TI JF324s (.43 - .106) on my old Musicmaster. No problems with the neck, although being TI's they're pretty low tension anyway. As you can see, they also aren't quite a perfect fit - both the E and A strings are a wee bit too long, and the windings wrap round the posts (the E by a whole turn, the A by about three-quarters)...

Parchment Cream. Plain and simple, there's enough else going on as it is!!!

[quote name='molan' post='1108825' date='Jan 30 2011, 10:33 PM']The sound he has at the beginning of the clip is pretty much exactly how I think of LowEnds sounding based on review stuff I've read I did wonder about the T-Bird as a gospel bass, lol. [b]I've got a bit of a 'blues corridor' trip coming up, could be dangerous - Nashville, Memphis, Clarksdale, Vicksburg, New Orleans. Will probably add some more stops in the delta before we hit NO [/b] The Gibson factory tour is on the list, luckily I don't like their basses very much![/quote] Did a similar trip with a couple of mates about 15 years ago now. We all loved Nashville and Memphis, Clarksdale and Vicksburg were *interesting*, while N'awlins was sadly just like Blackpool, but with better food. We still chuckle about a few things that happened, like the lass serving in the Wendy's (IIRC) in Clarksdale who asked whether we were a band, bless 'er - unfortunately my mate told her it would be a very sad band if it had us in it, so we didn't get to sign any autographs (or get free burgers ). In the parking lot outside, we then got accosted by a couple of folks who, after checking the plates on the hire car, proudly declared "Ah, North Carolina, we thought we recognised the accent!". So, North Carolinians obviously speak broad Lankyshire... Finally in Vicksburg, can't remember the name of the bar, but they served the biggest, hottest, most awesomest Buffalo Wings I have ever eaten. Oh, and when a spot of trouble broke out in the parking lot, the barmaid reached under the bar and brought out what definitely appeared to us to be a genuine Luger pistol. Things quietened down pretty quickly... Have a great time!!!

Not my usual sort of thing, but enjoyable all the same. Good effort, and good luck!

Tried, but as I don't do Facebook it looks like I probably failed. Good luck anyway!!!

[quote name='karlfer' post='1088875' date='Jan 14 2011, 06:56 AM']Unlikely Tony , it's probably going to cost a bit more than I can afford! Nice to hear from you, look after yourself, cheers, Karl.[/quote] Shame... You take care too, and all being well I'll see you for a natter in May! Tony

So, can I look forward to seeing / hearing one of these at the Old Bank in May, Karl? (And before you ask, no, the MAG 300 still isn't getting the use it deserves... )

Lovely stuff BurritoBass, thanks for posting.

Just booked to see him in Kendal on Feb 25th - if I remember, I'll report back afterwards!

I think these days he mainly plays guitar or bass (acoustic) when in Black Sheep mode... or electric bass when in Brain Donor mode... That's when he's not standing around in the countryside being all Archdrude-ish... Above pic from [url="http://www.headheritage.co.uk/"]Head Heritage[/url], lots more Copetastic stuff to be found there if you're of a mind...

[quote name='Alfie' post='1085871' date='Jan 11 2011, 06:26 PM']Also I was was looking at the video that Fender made for the bass: [url="http://www.fender.com/products/60th-pbass/models.php?prodNo=0196002"]http://www.fender.com/products/60th-pbass/...?prodNo=0196002[/url] In the background during two of the shots was a seafoam or sherwood green slab bodied precision bass hung on the wall. Why on earth didn't they release that as the anniversary bass? I would have sold the wife in a shot to buy that. [attachment=68490:Capture1.JPG] [attachment=68491:Capture2.JPG][/quote] The green one also appears to be able to morph from righty to lefty at will going by your screen caps!!!
