Stevie Wonder's I Wish

not overly hard, a LOT of fun to play 

put it in a smoker?

or a plastic bag full of smoke?

I'll donate my exhaled non-tobacco smoke

buy a red tort pickguard.

Anything other than the stock white one will be an improvement

Have you seen https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Steinberger-String-Adapter-Headless-Hohner-Cort-Bass-or-Guitar-Made-in-USA/323740864560?

sold that bass in 1997,  no internet then. Just our local music shop and Guitar and Bass Player magazines hehe, and NO online string shops of course.....kids these days.....don't know how easy they have it

no longer trying to be the people pleaser

delusional perhaps?

I too used to think Ringo was a bad drummer, but I've come to realise he is very unique, and I don't think any other rock drummer could have played with the Beatles with the same effect.

your body chemistry might be reacting with nickel to make em go dull so fast. Try Stainless Steels, they are inherently brighter anyway I believe

all this talk of pot        cough

That’s my experience of the free stuff, not the paid stuff. Makes sense.

Si

maybe Si, but it puts off people that may have been interested if they knew that

But yes, I don't think he is sitting at home crying into his pillow that Bazz hasn't subbed hehe

Hi,

 Fender knows how to make sure new Classic Vibe Basses will not be better than MiM or USA basses (which WAS the case IMO):

keep telling yourself that lol

not even close, those rolled edge fingerboards on USA Fenders are to die for. No business can make their cheap brand better than their premium brand and stay in business.

SBL, firmly on my “ignore” list. 

his manner is annoying, and you have to sit through 10 minutes of crap to get to the point of the excercise

Steady on old chap. The thread has been quite civilised so far

lol 

nice trolling

I don't think Sir Paul will lose any sleep over your opinion, I mean, what have you done?

no need to tell us your age,we can tell lol

he is just a drummer, lots of them about. Order a pizza, a drummer will probably deliver it to you. try him/ her out lol

I think they will survive, they are basically the only store in a city of over 1.5 million, always busy, huge rental service serving two states, supplying house PAs to most venues etc.

the one store still going strong in my city will price match any Australian online price. I will buy from them. I got my Elf and two 10" cabs for $200 less each than retail from them. And seeing as all their competitors are interstate, they should ADD shipping to the price they match, but they don't hehe

R.I.P 

you can get PAID?

hmmmm looks like I need to try stainless steels......

I'm already confused as to what I prefer between nickel rounds, flats and half rounds.....now I'm adding SS lol

if you can, cut the string after tightening the grub screw. Wish I had that option with my Hohner B2A, finding double ball ended strings was a pain back in the day before the internet

Our drummer listens to my basslines! I KNOW !

then he comes up with different beats til he is happy with it, and then I change or adapt my bassline to fit with what he is doing. He will always be on the beat, comes out of rolls in time, if he drops a stick, he comes right back in time, no guesswork on my part.

I never ever need to look at him to get him to speed up or slow down, in fact I never have to look at him, he is always on time and on beat.

he is 65, no, you can't have him

For me, having always played originals, it was when I not only started playing more than root notes, but when I knew WHY I was playing those notes.

I would be offended if you called music my "hobby", yet I'm not earning much from it so maybe it is just an expensive hobby, but it keeps me from going mad, bwahahahahahahahahahahaha

awesome gig you landed mate, looks like a lot of fun

RIP

condolences to his family and friends

Great rig! What type of music do you play? Are you through a FOH system? Passive or active bass? Interested to know how full it can get. Cheers, 

I play all originals, with an acoustic and an electric guitar and drums. Passive Ps and Js and a Hofner Beatle bass

I plan on using the single cab at small pub shows and coffee shops etc and use both for noisier gigs.

With one cab the Elf puts out 130 watts, but it's continuous not rms so i think the amp is louder than I expected.

Tone wise, it doesn't do an aweful lot to be honest, but I like a flat eq and it works ok. I have many pre amp pedals if I need any specific tone.

EDIT: found the Gator GP 40 bag fits the 10" cab with enough room for the Elf, cables, tuner etc
