    Dunno how common this still is but most bands I’ve played with in most situations on a bill one band (usually the headliner but not always) provides a bass cab for shared usage, each bassist then brings their own amp. Same for guitarists. That’s an arrangement I’m still largely happy with - I’ll let others use my cab at a push if needed, but not my amp. With how cheap, portable and pretty damn good a whole slew of class D amps are these days there seems little excuse for each bassist to not take their own.

    I always take a backup. Though I’ve needed one twice from memory in 25 years of gigging. To be honest it’s more for my own peace of mind as, while the chances of me needing to break it out are minimal, it’d always be on my mind to one degree or another if I didn’t have one there just in case.

    Base price doesn’t seem bad at all, but yeah the extra charges can be a killer on the offshore stuff. I’m glad I wasn’t as close to temptation as you were though, not sure head would’ve won over heart!

    Crikey. 🔥🔥🔥

    Always enjoy DJ. Listened to the album through a couple of times and it’s no exception.

    Yep, as per above. The current ‘equivalent’ is the 59DC short scale.

    Stunning.

    I’m on 7 at the moment, which is the most I’ve ever had at one time. They all perform a function though. That said, I could easily be happy enough with one of them in particular. I see nothing wrong with being a ‘one bass’ player at all, particularly if you’re not playing in a band (where a backup is always a good idea). I’d be led by one thing only myself - do you LOVE any of your current three? If so you may regret moving it on. If you just, well, ‘like’ them all and don’t feel massively attached then personally I wouldn’t hold back from going for it.

    Fancied a scratchplate change. Don’t think the mint green did much for the colour of the bass. The red tort works better to my eye. Looks less bland if nowt else...

    Was just thinking the same!

    Have dabbled in a live setting and may go back to it. The TC Ditto is a decent starting place, or at least I found it to be. Very easy to use and that’s the best thing you can have in a first looper I reckon.

    Still makes me emotional after all this time.

    Durst is a real teacher. This was another gem of his of course. Thanks for the ‘math’. One, two, three times two to the six Jolts in for your fix with the Limp Bizkit mix

    There’s a favourite knowingly bad rhyme of mine too, from Mr. Knowitall by Primus... They call me Mr. Knowitall I am so eloquent. Perfection is my middle name And whatever rhymes with eloquent.

    Wow.

    This from American Life by Madonna. And she raps it, to a fashion. Disgraceful. I'm drinking a Soy latte I get a double shotay It goes right through my body And you know I'm satisfied I drive my mini cooper And I'm feeling super-dooper Yo they tell I'm a trooper And you know I'm satisfied I do yoga and pilates And the room is full of hotties So I'm checking out the bodies And you know I'm satisfied

    As you’re new to bass I’d personally think about getting something similar (body shape, pickups, neck width etc) to what you play at home. Might make life a fair bit easier for you when you’re in either location.

    The weight of the negativity and sniping over there has probably crashed the server.

    I’m sure a T-Bird player with more info will be along soon with more to this, but at the very least the cheaper one is a bolt on neck with Epi pickups, crappy 3 point bridge etc, whereas the vintage pro has a thru-neck, probucker pickups and a far better bridge. Design wise, the vintage pro is a repro of (I think) a ‘63 T-Bird so has an oversized headstock etc. All in all a LOT more bass.

    The Bronx / Mariachi El Bronx.

    Tidy!

    Great choices! Jesus Built My Hotrod would always be in my top three too. as for the other two, dunno but these will do for now as they’re kind of hard to overlook for me!

    Private sale for sure. In this particular case, as it’s long been discontinued, if the ‘right’ person catches sight of the Blackbird I’d have thought it would (pardon the pun) fly out. They don’t seem to come up all that often.

    Agree with all the above. BC is one of the rare sites I visit almost daily. Rarely see anything but helpful, polite and courteous posts on here. Also a mine of useful info on all things bass related. As far as the for sale section is concerned - list a piece of gear for sale on Facebook and see the difference. Thanks and well done to all. x
