Use Fender Jazz Basses and use the neck pup cover as a rest.

Hi Dane, aye it was a cauld night up the Ettrick, where I stay. I know a few on that list! I play with Soul 56 and Medicine Hat. I played in the thrown together blues band at the end of the night at Cullum's wee gig. Cheers!

Never give up dude, I'm 64 (the grumpy old git) and play in two bands. One is a very serious blues band and the other is a kinda soul/r & b/Blues Brothers outfit and we played a blinder at an outdoor festival on Sunday night. Step back man.

Hi Stew and welcome!

Hi there, greetings from Scotland.

Hello and welcome from a fellow Scottish Borders person. Enjoy the forum!
-
No problem, will let you know.

A few inquires but nothing set in stone, just replaced out drummer so new lad working up the setlists.

Tell me about it, everything that used to bounce off disnae any mair! I am plugging on, innumerable muscular and bone problems, turned 64 last month but still gigging away wi twa bands!
-
I use them all the time now, great straps especially when yer getting auld!

I normally use Fender Jazz basses as the neck suits me. Although a few years ago I bought a crafted in Japan Aerodyne Jazz bass with the J pup and P pup and it has the most incredibly thin neck. Worth a look.

Welcome Jay, also in the Scottish Borders!

Hi Andy, welcome to BC from the Scottish Borders!

I also suffer from back and shoulder issues and found my Fender Jazz Basses getting increasingly difficult to use. I took a punt on a guitar for sale on this forum and it worked out great, a Fender Aerodyne Jazz Bass. Much lighter than a conventional Jazz Bass, very fast neck as well. I am more than happy with it. Cheers.

As well as seeing and hearing him on Doremi Fasol Latido!

Hi, bit late in on this one. I have severe back and shoulder issues now and moved from my usual bass, a Fender Jazz Bass to a Fender Aerodyne Jazz Bass. Great bass, crafted in Japan with a very fast neck and best of all it is very light and causes me no problems. I bought it on this very forum. Worth checking one out.

The band I am in rehearse twice a week. We always decide on any new songs at least a week in advance and try and have them ready for the rehearsal. We use Facebook to discuss any new songs etc. Works for us.

Hi there, I would recommend either Mark Bass or a Fender Rumble, but that is due to me having a knackered back! Lol, both great IMHO!

Epiphone Thunderbird - disuade me, please. TONESTYLER and SANDBERG CONTENT

I also have the through neck vintage pro and there is no neck dive. I had a bolt on neck version and it did suffer neck dive. Great rock bass I found but not an all rounder as my Fender Jazz basses are. The Thunderbird is an acquired taste, quite a long neck, slightly offset, pups are great if you get one with the Gibson pups. -
Jazz bass with P pickup in the traditional place
dougieb replied to Davebassics's topic in Bass Guitars
I use a Fender Aerodyne Jazz Bass with the P/J configuration and find it very versatile. I use it in a Rock/Blues covers band as well as a more function orientated band and it suits both fine. -
The Lemon Song, Ramble on and Since I've been loving you by Led Zeppelin..................awesome bassist, Mr John Paul Jones.

Hello from another in Scotland.

Worst bass you've ever played that you did not own.
dougieb replied to stingrayPete1977's topic in Bass Guitars
For me it was a Gibson EB3 I actually bought in the late 70's. I fancied being a bit of a Jack Bruce, but ended up taking it back and got a refund. Neck like a telegraph pole, badly weighted, very heavy and I could not get the tone I wanted out of it. I also had a Ricky but that was soon out the door too!
