[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1384468162' post='2277205'] seriously? A BC'er posts a photo displaying not only two top quality basses (no matter what you think of the design) that he and his Dad have a common interest in and all we can do is take the piss? Pffft. [/quote] Lighten up dewd!

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1384456264' post='2277018'] I don't know... You youngsters today. It sounds like your heating's on the blink. I know a good plumber if you need those radiators fixed. NURSE! [/quote] [b][color=#ff0000][size=6]NURSE!![/size][/color][/b]

Interesting thanks. I really dislike the bass tone in the first two vids, but the Howard Roberts on is nice. I like the music and the bass playing in the second vid, really good stuff that! It's just the horrible bass tone from that B15 I can't handle

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1384447754' post='2276855'] Your dad looks a bit like Ross Kemp, [b]and that photo is crying out to be used in a caption competition[/b] . Enjoy your basses, and we are all keeping our fingers crossed that your car keeps working O.K . If I were a betting man , however... [/quote] Oedipus Complex takes strange turn in Rugby.

[quote name='wriggers' timestamp='1384454133' post='2276975'] Come off of the fence Nige and say what you really mean [/quote] What's a fence? Is it that thing Lowender sits upon?

1) It's sounds sh*t compared to a guitar solo. 2) Guitarists don't cop three John Coltrane licks and use them in every solo. 3) Guitar soloists celebrate the range of possibilities of the guitar instead of the range of possibilities of three John Coltrane licks.

[quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1384444354' post='2276796'] marvellous - very solo-able [/quote] Thanks Steve

[quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1384442479' post='2276755'] agree with you on the ST thing not playing so well with fingers are you going to treat us to a demo of the new black jag Nige? [/quote] Check the recording section mate, I posted a thread with a link to soundcloud, a first go on the new Zulu Bass.

Beautiful colour! It look s ace!

Looks lovely. Glad you finally got it! Is it your GAS killer?

[quote name='Maverick' timestamp='1384389096' post='2276255'] I disagree, There's some great bass work on albums that are heavily downtuned, the tuning itself doesn't negate the bass. It's only really an issue if you got an uncreative bassist who's not going to provide anything extra. A good production job [i]can[/i] allow the bass and guitars to co-exist nicely, but it happens too rarely and hence I think a lot of bassists in metal get less credit than they deserve. Even Meshuggah tried to do the 8 string thing without a bassist but ended up going back to having one and they sound better for it IMO. [/quote] Agreed mate. But some folks do think that way, as did Meshuggah. They realised their error of course

Just listened to the Echidna's Arf one, very good indeed, if a little soulless, but you can't deny the skill on show, flawless! This is mine, I cringe at the timing in some of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=focGv64Wj0A

In a lot of heavy music bass is near redundant, especially since 7 and 8 string guitars hit the mainstream.

[quote name='Grand Wazoo' timestamp='1384387516' post='2276229'] I dunno which one is your fav one? [/quote] I was just joking that you didn't post one I did It's not very good really.

[quote name='GuyR' timestamp='1384383807' post='2276168'] If you customise your Fender bass by less than10% you don't need planning permission, but you will need a Building Regulations certificate, issued once it has been inspected by your local Council. This does not apply if you modify it in a conservation area, in which case you will need the permission of the Conservation Officer. Pre-CBS basses are usually listed Grade II, and protected by English Heritage, which means it is a criminal offence to modify them [/quote]

[quote name='Grand Wazoo' timestamp='1384387167' post='2276222'] and one more for good measure [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNR3QXPvYKo[/media] [/quote] I've always wanted to learn that one.

Awwww, you haven't put mine up

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1384370173' post='2275871'] My band have recorded three more songs, and I've been listening to the various mixes, constantly. Trying to come up with criticisms and ideas for production. TBH I'm getting a bit sick of them, and they're not even mastered yet! [/quote] You're going with your heart and that's a good thing. Like phil says, give it a week and listen to other music. Go back to them when you start feeling curious about hearing them again, don't force it, you wouldn't with any other music you listen to. Personally speaking, I can't wait to hear them because I really like your band. If you want an unbiased opinion chuck one over to me and I'll gladly tell you my feelings mate.

[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1384357453' post='2275651'] I love that mate, great bas sound, but what a fab groove! [/quote] That makes me feel nice mate Thanks!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1384375770' post='2275993'] What if you customise the Fender in a workshop you built without planning permission? [/quote] Then I would retrospectively apply for it if, after research, I ascertained it was necessary. Should it transpire that the workshop was built illegally, then I would remove it from the bedroom.

Part of Fender's older marketing bumf mentioned how they are customisable, but they meant pickguards and stuff. I like Fenders because they are customisable without thinking you are doing anything dodgy.

Ahem 'Bass's' ?!
