[quote name='Clarky' post='431349' date='Mar 11 2009, 11:03 AM']I know white/tort has been popular on this site before so maybe someone would be interested in this? Price OK although I would swap the Bart p/u's, personally [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Japanese-Fender-Precision-Bass-Guitar_W0QQitemZ220375932075QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item220375932075&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A10%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Japanese-Fender-Prec...A1%7C240%3A1318[/url][/quote] Has to be worth the £280 BIN price?

Years ago I had one of the green carpet covered 500w 1x15 7 band EQ combo's. Should never have got rid

I lent a guitar amp to a mate, and it came back with a tuner in it of course I gave it him back

[quote name='silddx' post='426529' date='Mar 5 2009, 06:03 PM']Well performed, good songs, but a bit derivative. Great singer, but not to my taste, sounds too much like Chris Cornell for me.[/quote] +1 love your bass tone though, what are you using?

Arnika [i]proper [/i]heavy metal - with Punk band Rogue - at the George II pub, Bute Street, Luton. Saturday 7th March from 9pm. FREE ENTRY! Marvellous. in it.

What a gig though. I'd do it I'd quite like to go, but can imagine the ticket prices then once TicketMaster have added their bit

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='385770' date='Jan 20 2009, 10:36 AM']Who buys these signature guitars anyway? Actually I just remembered the one guy I knew who had a Clapton strat - my friend's dad, who couldn't play to save his life...[/quote] [quote name='cetera' post='385862' date='Jan 20 2009, 11:47 AM']Many thousands of people.... look at the popularity of the Marcus Miller, Geddy Lee, Bob Glaub, etc etc.... Even Nick Seymour of Crowded House plays a Geddy....[/quote] As I posted earlier the Gibson Les Paul. Probably the first sig model. I think Gibson may have sold a couple over the years

[quote name='OldGit' post='420988' date='Feb 27 2009, 03:13 PM']So the compromise is always what sounds right in the context[/quote] +1 within my band my lovely deep fat bass sound doesn't work, and i need far more mid and top end than I would like.

Big fat warm (without sounding muffled) slight boost in the low mids to cut through 2 guitars.

liked it what distortion were you using?

[quote name='Prosebass' post='417199' date='Feb 23 2009, 09:49 AM']The proof of the pudding and all that ! But the way Bass magazines are these days (I for one refuse to buy them anymore) could they be trusted to give an honest review ? or will the Fleabass advertising just be seen as another "income stream" Mind you the feature I like on them is the "geared tuners" ?????[/quote] After chasing him for about 7 years(?) Flea is going to be in the next BGM. I wonder what changed his mind?

[quote name='bilbo230763' post='418503' date='Feb 24 2009, 04:06 PM']The idea that a bassist can do no wrong implies that there is a 'right' way of playing. I think there is a continuum between boring and repetitive and highly creative and original and, determining where a player is on the continuum is irrelevant. It is where the listener is that matters and we are all in a different space. Every mention of jazz here is shortly followed by references to random noodlng. But lots of the 'can do no wrong' players mentioned here bore me rigid. A great player playing tedious music (Marcus Miller) is no more use to me that a bad player playing great songs (Phil Lynott). One mans 'interesting' is another mans 'inaccesible', one man's 'in the pocket' is another man's tedious and repetitive. The mix required to make a player 'flawless' is individually defined so this debate is moribund.[/quote] disagree. For me Bootsy can do no wrong, but I still know he's not gonna let rip with some 2 handed tapping and speed arpeggios al a Sheehan. And I love Sheehan. I think Jamerson and Anthony Jackson are 'in the pocket' but if you disagree I would be interested in your opions as to why. It's what we do on here [i]the home of deep discussion[/i] and all that. So no, not moribund

+1 for the MU. And the £2k of free equipment insurance, and public liability cover doesn't hurt either!

[quote name='Linus27' post='418472' date='Feb 24 2009, 03:33 PM']What about Sir Paul McCartney?? Anyone done a signature model for him?[/quote] was gonna say that. Funny that the Hofner he is associated with was actually a cheaper copy of a Gibson bass.
