    Martin P Casey of The Bad Seeds’ Precision.

    This. Also, if you want ‘trad’ Mustang the PJ won’t give it you as such. I love them, but then I’ve always been a P player and weirdly struggle with a mini pickup! If you are buying new and considering the Vintera I’d also consider a used JMJ, which you could likely blag for not far off the same price as a new Vintera (at least based on Vintera prices I’ve seen lately), and are ‘roadworn’ anyway.

    That looks GREAT!

    Love sunburst. Only thing I’d say if you do go for a refin, won’t look as good as it could unless you colour match the headstock, being a Jazz variant and all… How about a gold anodised scratchplate instead to freshen it up a bit? They always seem to look cool on a SB finish where there’s a dark board…

    Seems a good time to link to a rig rundown. Lou’s bit is from around the 30:20 mark, should you not wish to listen to J and his socially awkward drawl!

    I’d suggest that’s likely more down to whoever’s done the tab. He’s pretty much always using a strumming motion that you’d expect from a rhythm guitarist. Doubt very much most of that results in single note lines. Root and fifth will get you there a fair bit of the time I’d say. Also, bear in mind he was away from the band for a long time before rejoining. Are the tabs from songs he originally played on?

    Lou’s great. And yes, his solo and Sebadoh output is cool too. On a side note, he wrote this little belter on the latest DJ album. Live Mascis is covering the solo. On bass.

    Plus one for Bright Onion. Their stuff rules.
  9. mr4stringz
    To a degree I think so. It’s due to them not being a current production model I’d say. Similar thing has happened over recent times with the price of Epi Flying V basses.

    Exactly this. They’ve made some great music and some not so great music collectively, separately, and in various other forms, and also been cool to each other and absolute jerks. That after all these years as they enter their twilight years they’re largely not even on speaking terms is very sad. Also (to the OP), it’s just the S from the group, but give the Manassas album a listen too while you’re on!

    Ugh, Durst et al. Anyway, the skinny is here it seems… https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/wes_borland_says_primus_inspired_4-string_guitar_he_uses_on_limp_bizkit_classic_isnt_sure_he_should_talk_about_how_courtney_love_behaved_in_studio.html

    Wow.
  13. mr4stringz
    Lars?
  14. mr4stringz
    Sad news and condolences to all who knew him. Really liked that he used to sign his posts of with “MB1”.
  15. mr4stringz
    Actually bought a very modded, very battered ‘76 Ripper off this guy some 15 years or so ago. It’s still with me and still modded and battered! Much of his stuff was overpriced back then. The Ripper wasn’t though! 😬😬😬

    On skimming this thread it seems the main question here is if a dead drummer can dep for an 80 year old drummer? I can confirm that is not possible.
  17. mr4stringz
    Essentially more affordable and (I believe) more readily available alternatives to Travis Bean or EGC.
  18. mr4stringz
    If you can’t bring yourself to, then you shouldn’t contemplate selling any of them. Simple as that. Nailed on you’ll regret it. Seems you’ve got all avenues and eventualities covered and love all 4 of them. Learn from the past. You’ve regretted what you’ve sold before so why put yourself back in that position again, especially when it’s clear you’re far from 100%. Four basses don’t take up much more room than 2 basses, it’s only 2 case widths…😀
  19. mr4stringz
    Not generally keen on headless basses, but that looks rather nice!
  20. mr4stringz
    Brilliant! Also saw them supporting SG. Tad was wearing a bright orange ten-gallon hat with GOD printed on the front. Not much else to say about that.
  21. mr4stringz
    Also, take the Jazzmaster off J Mascis and give him an acoustic. No Big Muff then, right? 0:35 for 10 seconds or so makes me laugh. Love it.
  22. mr4stringz
    At the heavier edge of what got lumped in with grunge, Tad were always great.
  23. mr4stringz
    I see Soame are knocking it out of the park again with the visuals...

    Bass iv

    mr4stringz replied to Storky's topic in Bass Guitars

    Can confirm the Rascals absolutely don’t come up very often. I’ve been scouting for one for 18 months or more and not a sniff. They were doing a CS version for a while also but that’s also gone now.

    Bass iv

    mr4stringz replied to Storky's topic in Bass Guitars

    You might want to give Rebirth Custom Guitars a look. Sure I’ve seen some bass iv variants fairly recently on their IG or FB.
