Lemmy once said that Led Zeppelin defined the vocabulary of rock music.

Get a doubleneck!

The singer needs a rest.

Or the Deep Purple version... Intro. Verse. Chorus. ORGAN SOLO!!! Verse. Chorus. GUITAR SOLO!!! Chorus. Chorus. Fade.

I don't think so - the difference will be in the fingers.

Well, Beady Eye did do a song called Beatles and Stones. Oasis did "Wonderwall", said "All the roads are winding", ....

I think that Rics are the best basses money can buy; however something like 99% of people who state an opinion say they are awful, but of course they are wrong! My headless Status Graphite is my second favourite bass. My Warwicks are my preferred 5-strings, though a couple of my wooden-necked Status ones are very playable.

Different perspectives on the have-played front... Rics feel natural to me and Wals are big and clunky. Status I like, Thunderbirds are not for me, I have Steinberger Spirit guitar & 5-string basses but they are 2 frets out of position for me, I have a Spector Performer and it's distinctly mediocre.

There seems to be an echo.

I have an Ashbory, which is pretty much an electric uke bass. (Don't try and do slides, though - you'llburn your fingers!)

I reckon so - it's just that the Badass is a higher mass than a BBOT, so perhaps it came to be known as that.

It could even be that the act of putting a new bridge on tightens the screws and so makes a firmer attachment. It's not dissimilar to trying a new cable on your Hi-Fi and the fact that you've unplugged and plugged back in makes a difference. That said, I do like a Badass on a Fender. I did have one on a Ric, but I don't think it seated so well and eventually found its way elsewhere.

I was thinking FSJBB.

For those of you who are anti-Ric and don't like headless, I give you the Rickenberger!

I think I've tried most basses I've seen; the one I haven't got round to (which is sort of a bass) is a Chapman Stick. And a Taurus 3.

Don't let it go to your head...

Gee, I wish I could help you, but I don't want to!

Me - I was sure I'd bought a box set of their albums, but I couldn't find it so maybe I binned it. My recollection is that I couldn't find a single song I could bear listening to.

The solution to being a 9V charity service is to put things on a pedalboard with a power supply. "Got a spare 9V?" => "Nope - don't use them."

I'm not sure of the models, but they are by: Ampeg Trace Elliot SWR Honourable mention to: Acoustic Crown/Amcron (power amps) Oh, and also Markbass, for doing things that real people can carry!

My usual things is I bring loads of gear, get it set up, play about a bit, pick up the presentation sessions, and then it's the end of the day. I'm debating travelling light this time so I can look at some other folks stuff and have a chat for a change.

Might as well just get a fretless.
