Number6

This is a useful thread to remind me to flog my Yamaha 5 string and Squier PJ Jazz bass.....

5 at the mo but will pare it down to 3 keeping one of my shortscales and my P-Bass and chopping in my other shorty, MM copy and Jazz for another P probably.

Its not a sound that would be appropriate in many scenarios but to me it complements the IM sound perfectly. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ikOER7cEDGI [/quote] Aah Donington 88 those were they days.

[quote name='ubit' timestamp='1444146484' post='2880657'] I love Fenders but why does everyone go on about the Fender with flats amazing sound? I like the amazing sound of a Fender with rounds! [/quote] I use rounds and a mute at the bridge.....i suppose it's the halfway house but i like the sound.

I am not a number and i am not standing for election. My life is my own. 😉

Well i can say it certainly inspired me. I practiced for around 3 hours today 👍

So i went to the Borderline in Tottenham Court Rd last night to see the Crazy World of Arthur Brown..... On the bill were two support bands: The Motorcycle Display Team and The Slytones. All of the bands were absolutely fantastic and Arthur Brown is amazing and brings so much energy to his performances. I watched as you'd imagine all of the bassists play and all it did was convince me of my own lack of ability 😕 So whilst i came away from the gig having seen some superb live music from all of the bands i also came away really doubting my abilities as a musician 😦 Have other BC'ers had similar experiences? Or am i just over ruminating? 😉

I think it's great! It demonstrates that i have better timing and ability than i thought i did 😉

My favourite band in the World ever and the reason i am in a HW trib band

Do you prefer a low action with a bit of buzz or a high action because you dig in deep or play with a pick? Do you use certain strings on certain basses or for a particular set up? It's all subjective so not a my set up is better or worse than yours i am just interested. My MIM P is set up slightly lower than Fender spec, i use Rotosound Nickel 66 .045-.105s Swing bass strings and i like to use a foam mute at the bridge because i like the sound. So what is your preference BC'ers? 6 ��

Thanks for posting 👍

How does the Gordons Gin advert with Phillip Glenister go.....oh yeah "Overbearing aromas of pretentious rubbish" 😉

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1442823768' post='2869633'] Anything you can say about a P Bass you can say about a Marathon. They are fantastic basses. I needed to sell mine and am regretting it, as I knew I would. But my 75 Hayman 4040 pretty much handles my Hayman/Shergold GAS, so it's not the end of the world. [/quote] Until an Ovation Magnum comes along lol 😉

I think the title of the thread is the answer. It needs replacing somehow. The loops are clearly cream crackered.

One of my favourite bassists plays a tricked out J&D JB both live and for recording. Sort of puts things into perspective 😊

My MIM P-Bass is alright.....which is nice 👍

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1442358946' post='2866406'] . . . . neither is Ringo. I would imagine it's Apple, whoever puts their music and videos out and their publisher, who I believe is Sony, who made a business decision to tidy up all the old video tape and put them out as a collectors package. I'd be very surprised if Paul or Ringo would have any input. [/quote] Probably right.....didn't they sell the rights to the music?
