Could be, there is something reminding. I made myself the same comment.

If you have a detachable lead for your amp(s), simply buy a EU one or as much as you need, that will also do the job or changing all the plugs on the leads could be the option.

I think you don't know Christophe Leduc work, otherwise you wouldn't have asked : he is absolutely meticulous and a real luthier who tunes his woods... They were identical basses made the same year (1990) with the same woods (except the fingerboard) coming from the exact same source and stocked for years in identical conditions. The pickups were exactly the same just like the strings, the lead, the theme played, the sitting position, the wire, the pots, the output jack, etc. : identical twins but the fretboard. For your MusicMan's, they don't tell the wood they use for the bodies, except hard or soft wood and they don't tell their supplier nor type of drying... And they are mass production basses which means the body could be in 5 glued parts ash when the other is a 1 part body poplar If you admit that there's a difference between the type of copper (which I hugely agree) and the number of windings (again fully agreed), why not with the woods ? If you have the time to watch this documentary, you'll learn a lot about lutherie, the real one, not these non sense mass products :

The beer is also stronger, be aware. Most people drinking it like they use to do were completely drunk after 5 glasses. No kidding.

The tension is exactly the same all over Europe (220~240 Volts). So all you'll need is a decent plug adaptor able to manage the amperage of your devices, so avoid the cheap ones. And by the way, UK is in Europe.

Sorry, but if you don't hear the difference between ebony, rosewood and maple, it's about time to make an ear test as there are huge differences in tone. I know that most the musicians are almost deaf and only hear harmonics, but stop this please : it's not only a cosmetical difference, it's a tone difference. At a time, for some personal reasons, I had two identical Leduc MP 6 strings fretless basses (neckthrough abd bubinga wings), but one had a pau ferro fingerboard and the other a Brazilian rosewood one : there was a BIG difference in tone between the two. Strangely I ended up keeping the pau ferro one that had more bite and high mids, which was what I was looking for at the time. In November, I bought another Leduc MP 6 strings fretless I was hunting for 10 years : quite similar in contruction but the wings (flamed maple top over ash with a mahogany veneer in between) and the fretboard which is Brazilian rosewood. Soundwise you get a more present fundamental, more low mids and less high mids, so a hugely growling and mwahing fretless. I know I'm a bit harsh on this subject, but I'm really fed up with these comments. It's like saying that a carrot tastes the same as a cabbage.

He tried the pizza thing, but was certainly out of tomato as he didn't finish what he'd started : "After the carving the body was burned (with fire)"...

A Peavey bass.

Must be something like that, around £250 GBP. If I wasn't more than over satisfied with my AER BassCube, I would have bought it.

A very rare Frank Lehre (Hamburg, Germany) double bass combo for peanuts. The guy is known as the German Walter Woods and his amps and few combos are top notch quality. Everything is hand made and the guy seems to still be alive and able to fix his work and Walter Woods one. He made around 20 to 30 pieces... The price is ridiculously low.

And Chick Corea, but for people smoking...

Joe Jackson did it...

I think everybody is missing the legal part. For copyright reasons it's simply illegal to photograph, film or record during a show... In the 80's, it was even printed on the tickets and reminded at the venue. The law is still the same, but people have become so egocentric and selfish that they don't care at all. You know, the next step could be drones blasting these cell phones (and maybe spitting on them first) and that would be great fun.

Are you sure you won't be assigned to trial with this publishing and did you get an authorisation signed in 3478 exemplars by JH himself ?

Are they trying to win the "ugliest bass ever made" competition contest at the Namm ?

And, most important, that plastic sound on the fingerboard that the black ones have has almost totally disappeared. A real relief. Never tried them on a fretted bass as I'm more on the fretless side.

Had them on my Sandberg Thinline Custom Fretless 6 and, while I hate the plastic sound of the black nylon's on the fingerboard, these are very good sounding, lots of harmonics with a fundamental you can hear, very precise with lots of mwah on this special fretless (only one passive Bartolini Quad Coil with direct output and set neck). Light to the fingers, but not as light as the TI JF. More harmonics and not the flat feeling under the fingers which can be disturbing. Quite expensive too. To me, the best nylon strings ever.

Was it smelling Indian food at that gig ?

Interesting link. Those perverted musicians...

That was Bootsie Collins.

I discovered him through "Stimela", there was the powerful music but also the powerfuller lyrics... Great loss, indeed. May he rest in peace.

. . . . . err. . I did. You even quoted my questions, both of them Taking words out of context or erasing part s of a sentence is called manipulation. I quoted you so there could be no mismatching with my answer. But as a manipulator would do, you still don't answer the main question I asked you and still interpret what I wrote.

You are interpreting what I wrote and this is as dangerous as what GG has done... But as you didn't ask, here is some answering start : Would you react the same way if the abused person was a member of your own family or friends circle ? I've made my opinion about the subject when I was a child : true justice must be applied, nothing else, and that implies jail and money compensation for the victims in our world where you can buy impunity or bad behaviour which is awful, of course.
