    Lovely work but can you please focus on what Samuel L Jackson in pulp fiction called “the path of the righteous man” and leave the weedy six string dreck alone? Too much of it and you’ll be refusing to turn down as “you can’t hear it properly when it’s too quiet” and other such merchant-banker excuses

    The first album I listened to over and over was Under a Blood Red Sky and I was struck by Adam Clayton’s live tone. Being 16 I didn’t realise that recorded live tone wasn’t like studio bass tone… it just sounded immense..especially on loud For the melodic part I loved, but could not name, Duck Dunn and Bob Babbitt

    Ooh good call
  4. Geek99
    Fine strings

    Who made you King ? Not some watery tart I hope

    I felt he did correct his assertion and agree that the pickup isn’t set correctly here he didn’t actually write “I retract my earlier assertion that it supposed to be like that” but I felt saying “that’s not right” is a de facto retraction

    130th is the dusty end

    No, @dclaassenyou could invoke your 129th amendment right to bear a bass of your choice, as part of an organised bass event

    Warwick do yellow label too, which I think are nickel but red label are stainless steel

    Not bad at all. No worse than anything else I’ve tried for the saving I’ll willingly take slightly shorter life

    He has, to be fair, already corrected himself and conceded the point.
  12. Geek99
    Nope nor me. edit, I hadn’t seen @Supernaut had retracted. Please ignore my remark

    I just use cheapie Warwick red roundwounds and adagio flats. They do the job

    I played it - very nice indeed partner urged me to buy it. I, in an utter fkucwit moment said “I don’t need it” 🤦‍♂️

    Zombie threads are a constant danger hammer planks of wood clumsily across your phone screen if you want them kept out :🧟

    Speaking for my own experience id be buying Japanese non export or Mex classic 50s aka vintera. Honourable mention for mex highway one with the nitro paint

    It was a year ago. Maybe he removed those pictures from the linked album?

    I have a zoom b2.1u and whilst ancient it does everything I could possibly want and is fairly easy to use

    Get a luthier to copy the neck dimensions and make it fretted keep the fret less neck as it is
  20. Geek99
    A 62 wasn’t quite vintage once
  21. Geek99
    I would buy another 78neck and keep the fret less one as it is. You get what you want and it’s non destructive
  22. Geek99
    So that cost around £500…
  23. Geek99
    I don’t think blocks are a big deal to want on a jazz bass neck when you’re paying that kind of money
  24. Geek99
    Fender heavy. Accept no substitute, as Samuel L Jackson said in pulp fiction. tort, naturally
  25. Geek99
    It’s like you’re me. Look up Jamey aebersold and interval training and I cheat and look at the guitarists hands. when they’re not down their trousers … being merchant bankers
