Cheers man. It’s funny you mentioned contacting him. Our vocalist revealed last night she had him on her radio show in the past and said she’d try and contact him. Hopefully it works out. Great tune as you say, I’d never heard of him until this recent audition and this song challenged me a bit with them fills.

+1 Have had most of the basses aforementioned and in my view the Electra is leagues ahead.

Can anyone help me, I’m looking for a transcription of this live track - happy to pay someone to transcribe but to tab only please. Generally know the chords but stuck on the end of verse fills and particularly the middle section.

Hmmm, I think mines about to go to stage 1.

Can they do one with a Mutron in it for the Funkateers 😂🤩

Must admit these have been on my inner GAS radar for a while…but have to refrain for a while though.

Earl Falconer - UB40 😎

Well...it reached number 1 in Canada

There are a lot of great reggae versions of pop/rock tunes out there. We do quite a few with my band, admittedly not practiced since 2020 though, lots of Amy Winehouse etc

Are there others bands then, other than Gong? Ah yes…Planet Gong, Shapeshifter Gong, Mother Gong, Pierre Moerlen’s Gong, New York Gong, Acid Mother’s Gong, Gong Maison etc I’m narrow yet eclectic then….and I’ve been stoned before 😉

Yeah it's a really beaut, not heavy either, sounds as good as it looks. I've not been able to put it down since i've got it apart from sleep, eating and paying the kids to go away

Got the Mocha brown 74 P that was on here, beautiful.

The Zoom B3 has a built in looper. Good for a practice.

The Bullet is 40mm having just measured it. Nice thin neck depth wise. I think if you're urging towards a US fender then that's your ticket, 2012-2016's are particularly good second hand wise. Otherwise you'll unlikely be happy with anything else. If you get GAS you'll go through many basses (as i, and many others here, have done), and will probably still wonder what the others were like. When i moved onto Sandberg's having been through literally hundreds of other basses i really thought i'd found the one 'well at least the one manufacturer'...but i still needed a Stingray in my life...and well I recently got a Fender 1974 P....the GAS infliction continues. That said, and having learned on my journey, I would personally take any post 2000 Sandberg over a 2000+ US Fender Jazz standard. Not tried any Fender after 2017 so cannot comment there.

These posts are always very subjective but will share my views as i am currently avoiding the housework! The Sire will have the most flexible sound options in terms of it's preamp - assuming you're not having an all passive option that is. Sire have been pretty consistent in my limited experience, although often a tad heavy. Not tried a Player series Fender but have had many Fender Jazz basses. My first thoughts are it will probably have a better resale value being Fender, some good colour options to be had by the looks of it. Not tried the Electra Jazz but i have an Electra P, and other Sandberg's (i have a nice Jazz alike for sale actually...ahem!). I have often thought about pairing my Electra with the Electra Jazz as the P has been simply amazing in terms of build quality, sound (active and versatile for modern and vintage), overall looks (black/maple in my case), andmine is under 8lbs so nice and light. Having owned a few Sires, and many Fenders, I would take the Electra over the others by far, no competition in my view. The P also has a Jazz width neck should you also fancy twins one day. Good luck with your journey

To be honest there was a single pin hole when i purchased mine - GuitarGuitar knocked some money off and we thought nothing further of it...i thought maybe it was a pin hole someone one maliciously did ...but in reality who would do such a thing.

I'm pretty chilled, i have a stressful day job (NHS), so by comparison this can be sorted pretty easily. I'm pretty confident i won't need to 'slug' it out with Musicman 😉 My house on the otherhand........

Mine is Nov 2018, different build code to yours too. Thanks for sharing the database, never knew it existed.
