    With the sad news about Ranking Roger

    I always fancied an M2500, as the pickups aren't quite as hot as the L2500, so a bit easier to blend things in. Having said that, I had been looking at jazz basses and the G&L new ones look good. Actually I would love to try an SB-2 to see what the neck is like, noone seems to have any though

    Have you never got a bass thinking it would be one thing but turned out it wasn't, or even tried a bass that seemed ok but you didn't get on with it? I know I have. What is the difference between a 3k bass and a £300 bass? Simple answer, one persons lot of money is another persons not impulse purchase. Also if you have a designer bass you can't actually try it until you have it, because it isn't made yet. And obviously on a designer bass you are going to lose a lot, but if it is the thing you want, then that might not matter.

    Might be worth mentioning it there?

    They don't neck dive but yes, the neck does feel long, although not really long. It does however feel in the right place unlike the hohner cricket bat bass where you just miss by 2 frets. It does and it is a rock bass. You put it on and you feel like a rock player in a way you don't with a jazz.

    Our singer has no respect for personal space, ie, my personal space, so is often hitting the end of my headstock. The thunderbird has hit his head a few times. On the plus side, it is roundy unlike the iceman, that looks like it really hurts!

    Oh Mr Beato? Oh yes, I am subscribed to him. Can learn a lot from his videos. I have posted a few here.

    Unlike that jumper..

    Weird the neck dive thing - I really don't have it. I have had worse neck dive on a P bass, which is odd as I assume all the epiphone neck throughs are the same? The only thing I have a problem with mine (apart from the reason I am selling it, the 4 stringness of it) is that it is a bit of a singer killer with the long neck.

    I think it is a good idea to get that out and up front. If they are not interested then it wasn't your group anyway. Some groups are very open to ideas and some aren't. If they aren't interested in your point of view then they probably will never be so good to bail. I am in two groups, I still feel like the new guy in the band I have been with for 3 years, but fully integrated into the one I joined a few months ago.

    As long as you get one of the neck through ones, and it fits you, they are great. I have one (that I am selling) and it works on me, but I took it to some guy locally who was interested in buying it, and it is true to say, it looked very odd on him. He was considerably bigger than me! The necks are very long, and very thin. If you don't like that you won't be happy. Its true they aren't good for ska. But plug it in loud for a rock song and everything is perfect.

    She got there too and stayed at their house until her mum got in contact and got her sent back. and then she went back the following year. She is somewhat determined when she gets going.

    Yep. I certainly would not have an issue with a poplar bass.

    When my wife was 15 she hitchhiked across America to California to see them. From Montreal.
  15. Woodinblack
    Agree, someone up on stage who switches from ash to poplar bodied bass, noone in the crowd will notice the difference. I was actually just looking at the Squier classic vibes at the moment. I wish they had some other colours!

    Seeing as I would never watch that I wouldn't know, but which MJ does she look like?
  18. Woodinblack
    Yep, I had it here, just looking round if anyone else had, first time I saw anything like that.
  19. Woodinblack
    I would say he sounded better than that when I last saw them. Maybe he got better with time. He still does the stupid theatricals though that I could do without.

    Fair enough. Steve Wilson is my idea of Prog, and for me builds on the shoulders of Genesis and Yes. Don't get me wrong, I loved them, they were the foundations of everything but I need something a bit fresher. Although obviously Steven Wilson / porcupine tree do kind of love their 12 strings, flutes and melatrons! Spocks beard I find very variable, but some albums / tracks I love and some leave me cold. I suppose like Genesis (not so much Yes).
  21. Woodinblack
    That guy on the ebay advert is going to feel so stupid when he realises that he put the decimal point two spaces to the right!
  22. Woodinblack
    Oh I wouldn’t listen to dream theatre, I wouldn’t actually consider that prog rock, that’s more metal. Steve Wilson though, or before that porcupine tree, would see him over any genesis incarnation any day. Older stocks beard too. Even considering trick of the tail is my favourite album ever.
  23. Woodinblack
    I will have my TC112s too - they are the only speakers I have! But anyone elses are probably tidier than mine.
  24. Woodinblack
    Yeh, there are loads of people with those opinions. They did pave the way for some of the stuff we get now, which is great. It was good at the time, but just like rock coming from the beatles, you can appreciate the origins without having to listen to the same 30 songs for your entire life. Its why it is so hard to do something interesting in prog.
  25. Woodinblack
    Will see anything with Beggs in anyway. Seems the music box are popular here. Maybe it is because I was never an 'old' genesis fan, I am a 'Rating everything from trick of the tail downwards' sort of guy, so they didn't move me at all. I must admit as a prog guy I have a bit of a problem in that most people I know who want to do prog just want to rehash genesis stuff (or yes). Sure I like them but that was 40-50 years ago and there has been a lot of decent stuff since then
