The thread that rose from the tomb.... 2010...

[quote name='The Hat' timestamp='1456846102' post='2992838'] Not surprised, it's just I haven't seen many. More the merrier as far as I'm concerned [/quote] Totally agree - my six year old daughter is up for trying bass, as long as it's pink

[quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1456828914' post='2992551'] I think one of the ladies on here plays in a Pink Floyd tribute band. [/quote] ..SpaceChick and Seashell is a lady too there are others who visit too

arent all Pbass necks adjusted at the butt end ? give it a go, its really not that hard

I liked the one in Edinburgh

Needs tort, red probably

Expensive but looks alright to me, there's cheaper examples to be had on basschat though

could you please measure the hole?

Anyone know any decent ones ? Bass related ones obviously - not badger fetishists anonymous or bread fans etc

[quote name='JohnFitzgerald' timestamp='1456042804' post='2984663'] One of the issues is there are six of us, three carrying guitars. I don't imagine the Captain's cupboard is that big. I'm happy with carrying it to the gate and then placed on, but I'm going to go with asking nicely, being polite, all that stuff. [/quote] They aren't big. My partner uses a wheelchair and it breaks into a lot of small pieces. It fills the captains closet on a 777

[quote name='BobVbass' timestamp='1456084715' post='2985275'] I'd go for a good spec business laptop - dell latitude or something - heavy, built like a tank, easy to fix [/quote] And as much ram as you can get Plus ssd disk

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1456171222' post='2986271'] I can relate to this. There's something about how it sounds so low and powerful, and the instrument looks so elegant with its long neck When I'm playing in public I sometimes can't believe I'm doing it. It feels as though I'm in a film or something. I love that feeling! [/quote] Yes nail -> head on both counts Where I play it's mostly weedy acoustics so a precision thump up loud turns heads

I have four basses, a zoom and a combo A p bass workhorse A hohner b2 for lunchtime practise An acoustic for OM night where I have no amp A stingray copy for sentimental reasons - partner bought it for me I don't think gas has too tight a hold on me

.. Because people notice when you play the first note and you glue music together just by being there

Yeah we know The pipe stuff is dirt cheap at b and q

I used the grey foam stuff from b and q that you use for insulating 22mm copper pipes

I got one that says "bass is like guitar but way cooler" and another that says "bass players do it deeper"

[quote name='colgraff' timestamp='1455312011' post='2978186'] I thought it was a big fat black guy (if you'll excuse the blunt description.) I have a foggy memory of seeing him interviewed and saying that he was 'allowed' to put the mini bass solo in because it was being recorded on his birthday. I could have dreamt that, though.

[quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1455294101' post='2977949'] After the financial revelations about his last divorce settlement and the hoo-ha about the screening rights to their Glasto appearance I don't see Jagger as the most financially generous bloke. [/quote] He isn't-if you read the GnR biography "let it bleed", you will see axl learned everything about penny pinching from watching Jagger on tour as their support

I don't think he did actually - it was a throwaway answer to the question "what don't you have that you actually want?"
