    [quote name='Dan Dare' timestamp='1495362760' post='3303184'] Just don't get this "owned by (insert famous name)" guff. It's a mass produced instrument. The magic was in JJ's fingers and brain, not a piece of wood with bits of metal stretched along its length. JJ would have made magic with a Satellite copy. The only good thing is that a famous player's family sometimes gets to make a bit out of these sales. Other than that, it's bullshit. [/quote] Theres this "ex Pino Palladino" precision or jazz hanging on eBay for like £15k... waiting for "the right buyer" I guess :-)

    I don't necessarily want that tone, I definitely can't play like that. I am just curious what has the biggest influence on that particular tone. It gets me. I am talking about bass solo (the bassline seems to be slapped) on this track: [url="https://pendofsky.bandcamp.com/track/psychobaton"]https://pendofsky.ba...ack/psychobaton[/url] The bass he's using is 70's Jolana Diamant (?) from Czechoslovakia I think.

    I think this is something very brave that you are trying to do. I love AC/DC and I'm actually quite curious what that would sound like in different keys (trying to be as optimistic as possible! :-) ) Good luck.

    My JV is not selling... And I have bought too many basses recently. So, this Precision is as good as my 1983 JV. The pickups seem a bit ''hotter'', there is A LOT of bottom end and the sound is very woody. Come and hear it for yourself if you can. You can try it out on a little Ampeg combo or 70's Fender Bassman 100 with matching cab (this is for limited time only). The bass is in great condition, has been used a lot but cared for. Usual marks here and there, nothing major. The frets might need polishing in the near(ish) future. Frets 1 to 7 have marks on them already (picutred), the rest is almost perfect. Action is really low and there is no buzz anywhere. Currently strung with flatwound D'Addario Chromes. I tried to picture all the imperfections, please message me if you need any more detail. Comes with a Fender strap, real celluloid 62PB pickguard and a spare white pickguard. Weight is just under 4kg/8.8lb Nut width - 40mm I can send it, or deliver within a reasonable distance from Southsea - PM for details.

    Looks very nice. The sort of bass I would buy matching furniture for :-) Good luck with the sale.

    [quote name='Coilte' timestamp='1495010630' post='3300334'] I never knew that bass playing required being "classified". The playing in the clip either floats your boat or it does not. It would be a boring old world if we all liked the exact same things. Personally, I thought the playing was skilful, but not my cup of tea. [/quote] That is exactly why I opened the thread - to hear opinions about this particular clip. Insanely fast and I totally understand some people my love the whole thing, some people my find something interesting, inspiring, whatever. I did not mean to take anything away from Mr. Pilichowski, I think he is a monster bass player. And please forgive me about the sarcasm in the title, it was late and obviously did not work as intended :-)

    [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1495008488' post='3300307'] Me too. But a bass guitar is just a musical instrument - how people choose to use it is up to them. Life's rich tapestry and all that... [/quote] Yes, that's the beauty in this whole thing called music.

    [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1494980941' post='3300208'] Why does bass playing have to have groove? Personally groove comes way down in my list of what makes something interesting. [/quote] This is really interesting. To me, being able to keep a solid groove in the pocket is the reason I started playing bass.

    [quote name='dmccombe7' timestamp='1495001992' post='3300252'] Technically good but no tune or feel from it. Just fast playing. That's ok to show off in music shop when trying a bass out (well to be honest it bores me a bit when i hear it in shops) I would rather hear a nice flowing bass line to a rapid fire as many notes in a minute bass line. Afraid i've never really got the Mark King thing to be honest. Prefer Allain Caron. I guess i'm old school too. Dave [/quote] Exactly. As stated above though - he is a very capable and soulful player if needed. Nothing but respect to him. I just wanted to see what you think about this particular video where he's a bit fast :-)

    I thought the sarcasm in the title was quite obvious. [quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1494977893' post='3300201'] Don't think many girls will be up dancing to this. Technically still bass playing but I sure won't be going to see him or buy any of the records. [/quote] It's very impressing technically, but doesn't make too much sense to me musically.

    Now traded, thank you

    It's not ''one month old'' anymore, is it? :-) Beautiful bass, I wish I had the money to buy it.
  20. PawelG
    Oh well...

    She'd probably let it go for £280. Do you guys think it's a US model?

    Which courier company was this sent through? Some would not accept this due to insufficient packaging. Also, as stated above - packaging like that won't work for you if the item gets damaged. Even though it might be better than cardboard in some cases. Personally, I like to wrap the bass In bubble wrap/stretch, put it in the case, wrap the case and put it in cardboard box. Another stretch and then some fragile tape on it. I seem to sleep well after I send a bass like that. I don't think I would if it was only wrapped like yours. Glad it arrived safely :-)
