Shockingly Voluminous Trousers?

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='943017' date='Sep 2 2010, 09:12 AM']I have an SVT and a Fender Jazz with a Badass, so I obviously have superior tone to everyone here, sometimes I don't know why I bother with you lot.[/quote] We're not worthy [attachment=57931:27429478...89938a89.jpg]

[quote name='Beedster' post='942979' date='Sep 2 2010, 08:23 AM']Do I need to spend more time in Off Topic and get used to this type of thread?[/quote] Think he just wanted a virtual fight. Like a number of OT threads in fact which is why I tend not to dwell there - when I have done I tend to find a large part of my day disappears with little to show for it, other than a greater understanding of small number of people's prejudices

[quote name='Beedster' post='942969' date='Sep 2 2010, 08:09 AM']But in the spirit of self analysis and personal development, can someone please explain why I did it, it's all such a blur.......[/quote] Its all that DB playing. Next you will start wearing a beret

[quote name='fdavidso' post='942323' date='Sep 1 2010, 04:40 PM']But to rag this back to reality.... are there any cheap lightweight options around - I hear a lot about MB and GB but for us mere mortals who have a couple of hundred max to spend on a top box, what would the recommendations be - Ashdown Little Giant 300? something similar?[/quote] Get a second-hand one on BC. Something like a used Little Mark 250 would be close to that price range and cover most small/mid sized gigs.

[quote name='Low End Bee' post='942296' date='Sep 1 2010, 04:10 PM']I'm not even going to gig now. I'm just going to implant subliminal memories in my virtual audience of me having played a blinder of a show with impeccable tone. I don't need any gear anymore. Just mind control.[/quote] Your gig in Isleworth next Saturday was a blinder

[quote name='Linus27' post='942275' date='Sep 1 2010, 03:54 PM']I've also gone lightweight recently. I cut down to this[/quote] Wimp. I bet the 15,000 at the back could barely hear you

[quote name='chris_b' post='942119' date='Sep 1 2010, 02:19 PM']Looks like you've got Precision fingers! So that's settled then, the Alembic goes![/quote] Oi! Now I wonder who that BC'er was

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='942008' date='Sep 1 2010, 01:16 PM']Having a PA = sellout.[/quote] My PA is lovely, she's called Marie

gone to the chiropracter

I played to 7 people last week and my Rebelhead TC450 was way loud!

Well someone had to do it!

[quote name='simon1964' post='941970' date='Sep 1 2010, 12:51 PM']entertaining thread[/quote] Errmm, at this point I will have to disagree This thread reminds me of that kiddie saying "You're a pig, I'm a goat, you stink, I don't"!

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='941880' date='Sep 1 2010, 11:46 AM']+1, and well put. Even when I play basses with "broader tonal possibilities" (I also have a Wal and a Goodfellow) and actually USE them, it usually turns out that I'm the only person in the room who notices the difference.[/quote] I really like the crunchy tone of my Alembic (think 'Enter Sandman', which was recorded with the same model as mine I believe) and was a bit disappointed when I played this recently at a pub gig and a BCer in the audience said it sounded just like a Precision!

"Decal" is dignifying it - it looks like the words 'Jazz Bass' were written on in black permanent marker pen!

[quote name='Legion' post='941779' date='Sep 1 2010, 10:06 AM']From a "bass you will use perspective" does one of them talk to you, inspire you and let the creativity flow? if one of them does... I'd say thats a keeper. It seems a pretty vague outlook but I really have only found one bass that keeps me coming back to it in this way and thats the Pino (so far!). If they both feel like that - lucky boy [/quote] Hmmm. The 72P gives me that inspirational factor but it could be because my brain tells me its a vintage Fender and its what I salivated over as a kid. The AC is a better playing bass with broader tonal possibilities. Push comes to shove I guess its my 72P but they are both cracking instruments.

Good lord - what an amazing number of desirable Fenders! Which ones do you still own?
