  1. This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing...
  2. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood ?
  3. Steve Hillage is in great condition and playing so close to the spirit of Mike Oldfield... :-) Looks like the Gong gang was a favourite of Mike Oldfield. Thanks for posting this. A pleasure to watch and hear. I've always loved Mike Oldfield compositions and contribtions And it's more on the Purcell and Vivaldi [ever listened to the concerti for mandoline(s) ?)] side than Beethoven. ;-)

  5. For those looking for a cheap and good fretless, here is a good opportunity : https://www.bassic.de/kleinanzeigen/fenix-by-young-chang-jazz-bass-fretless.9691/gallery/
  6. Human beings pretend to tend to pefection, which is true, but in the same time they hate perfection. What they are looking for is that imperfection that makes it ... real. There is another point where the machines won't beat human beings which is the pitch related to timing. And there goes another debate.
  7. To date, if you like roundwounds, the Fodera nickels are really good, way far better than the D’Addario nickels which is a standard to compare other brands. If you want to go to tapewounds, I've tried (almost, as you can't be sure) everything available on the market and the best tone will be achieved with the LaBella gold white nylon, but I love very fast attack and endless sustain on fretless... And I hate flatwounds on fretless, because they kill the sound I want to hear.
  8. Traded some time ago, and totally fixed. A terrific fretless bass !
  9. Owen, there is another option simply called intelligence. Can your student play complex rhythm patterns with an astonishing ease ? If that's the case, he is one of those high potential human beings. He won't be able to clap on each beat of a 4/4 because it's simply annoying and absolutely unrewarding to him... So you'll have to explain him why this ability to clap on the beat is absolutely mandatory, simply because he needs to know why in a scientific way. Then mix what would be complex to anyone with simple 4/4 in your (faster) teaching and he'll get it. Indian music theory will help a lot for these students. Easier to say than to do, I know. Hoping he is one of these high potential human beings, otherwise only patience and slow teaching will help.
  10. If you have some wrist problems, in 99% of the cases, it's a bad playing position and has nothing to do with the scale... For your bad sound, in 99% of the issues, it's a bad setup. Before going any further, go see the two specialists who will really help you : a physiotherapist and a luthier. It's worth going this way than spending money in the wrong direction...
  11. Don't think so as you'll see fingerprints everywhere afterwards...
  12. I traded my Alpher Mako Elite Custom Fretless 5 for Pawel LeFay Herr Schwarz 5. Everything was perfect from the start to the end with lots of communications. The strangest thing is that we were in touch some 10 or 15 years ago and that he still remembered me as I sent him some cd's with fretless bass players and I remembered him as the Carles Benavent aficionado... Quite funny. So you can deal in total confidence with Pawel, he is a real great guy with a very good memory. ;-)
  13. With original Seymour Duncan pickups from 1980-81, massive brass original Leduc bridge, Gotoh tuners, neckthrough, ebony fretboard and master grade woods (Canadian hard maple neck, Gabon ebony fretboard and French alder body wings). And love or hate look... https://www.zikinf.com/annonces/dispannonce.php?annonce=1470083
  14. [quote name='oldslapper' timestamp='1506182240' post='3376948'] Haha...i couldn't tell the difference in tone between his jazz & his ric tbh. [/quote] And try to hear any difference when he was playing a Wal. :-P
  15. ThePolytune is already made for bass as there is the function for it. One of the rare tuner able to catch my EUB 6 strings low B... Got 2 of them.
  16. Careful, Fodera will surely make a signature model with this type of string mounting in the next days ! Yek, yek, yek. :-P
  17. Simply check your spam folder regularly...
  18. [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1505685165' post='3373602'] I just leave the amp's EQ flat, and erm.......the bass's EQ flat . I just play differently if I want the sound different, nearer the bridge or the neck etc. Anthony Jackson doesn't even have a volume control on his bass. [/quote] [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1505716382' post='3373658'] That's broadly my approach... [/quote] Mine too, on my main bass the only pickup is wired directly to the output à la Anthony Jackson.
  19. [quote name='blue' timestamp='1505659904' post='3373391'] Sitting at home with no gigs making no money at all. Blue [/quote] Better this way.
  20. In fact, like most of the people I know, I think you are looking for compression, am I wrong ?
