I will then go and see if I can get it in 5. I will then put it on my ever shrinking GAS list. That is proper lush.

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1487454993' post='3239994'] it is odd isn't it - I wonder how influenced we are by American forums and press that the US versions of our luthiers are revered but ours less so. Some of it is the size of marked I guess - but if I compared Sei to Fodera, or overwater to sadowsky would I find a massive difference in the end product? [/quote] We are all guilty of shopping withour eyes instead of our ears. I as much as anyone. I am happier than I have ever been since moving to five strings, but I still fancy trying a recent Sadowsky 5.

Make sure that you factor in your behind the bridge saddle length and your behind the nut length. I did not and it got expensive.

That is a fine looking axe.

I used a Chevin A3000 (bridged at 3Kw into 8 ohms) into and Eden 410xlt when I was younger. Obv I never turned it up full, but the headroom, low frequency extension and general grunt was a thing of joy. What a machine.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1487077493' post='3236782'] Imagine a Fender Precision battered to within an inch of total destruction, but still (just) playable. [/quote] I can dig that.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1487075498' post='3236755'] That along with the Baz Extravaganza Punk Rock Bass are the only Fender-esque instruments I'd consider playing. [/quote] <rushed off to google a Baz Extravaganza Punk Rock Bass but found nothing>

Wrong. That is the bomb!

Ugh. I am going to have to back out due to a family situation. I am really sorry (and gutted). To add insult to injury I had to watch Wales lose while waiting with the injured party on A+E. Ho hum. If there is any hint of a loss I will chuck £10 into the coffers.

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1486662287' post='3233676'] I'm not running sequences - but it means I can remotely change patches and have it in a remote looper... all via MIDI. Don't know if you have seen the Katy Perry and Kemper video - they run the whole lot on a sequence, with all the patch changes for both the guitarists (one on Kemper, one on Axe FX if I recall) and all the keyboards changes from that sequence. [/quote] When I grow up that is how my rig will be.

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1486578025' post='3232988'] Hang on, I didn't think you could do remote changes via MIDI...! This could change things... [/quote] If you are running sequences behind your band then you can just have the sequencer make the changes as and when you like.

[quote name='mr zed' timestamp='1486598479' post='3233241'] My first one also - not really sure what to expect. Any seasoned bass bashers care to share what we're in for? [/quote] We will all cruise around looking at things that we cannot see anywhere else but online. We will realise that "the thing" that we thought we needed is actually no better than what we have. Or our worst fears will be confirmed and we will be selling everything we own to buy "the one". Basschat Live really.

Just as well. If people clocked that I am an internationally famous bass guitarist masqueading as an obsessed geek to get my hands on quality 2nd hand gear then I would be inundated with tedious questions about what strings I used on that platinum album from '83. It is bad enough that I am having to fly over for the day.

It is a great book. It really picks up the vibe in a way I have not seen in the written word before or since. I keep thinking other books will be the same and they never are

I like Monique, I cannot lie.

Top top job.

Smooooooooooooooooooooooooth.

PPL is not as good as PRS/MCPS but I am sure that was a tidy chunk.
