That's lovely! Mine was a cheapo pbass copy my mate gave me when I was 16 to fill in in his covers band. It was rubbish, but done the job. It was sunburst but I ended up spraying it a salmon pink. I gave it to a girlfriend as she fancied learning.. And she may very we still have it!

No idea! Sorry

The only down side to the BC is the horrific headstock decal! 😅

I had a bass collection jazz, the one with the babibz (sp!?) Bridge. It was an awesome bass. Amazing neck.

I'd say my nanyo bass collection. 200 quid and it's bloody astounding. Everything of it feels quality. I bought it basically to try it, as I'd heard good things... But it absolutely exceeded expectations! It's my #1 bass now. I've played dep gigs with absolute strangers who've commented mid set on how clear and precise it sounds. Obviously I take full credit for it, but it's entirely this bass!

I've got one. I don't use it as a standalone, and because we're all spoiled with how easy it is to punch in and out on a daw, I doubt I would. But, on the other hand, I bet it would make me think alot more about whay I'm recording! General navigation is pretty simple though! And the best bit is, once you have your tracks you can simply transfer them onto a pc to expand them!

It doesn't bow back when strings are off. It's extremely straight! Putting heavy strings on has pulled it in slightly but I still need a tiny bit more to get it sitting perfectly. The business card in the cavity trick could very well be enough! I'll not get a chance until Sunday to try it, but I'll update with the results!

Great idea! And that might just be enough! I'll give that a go!

Bear in mind, You'll probably find it completely different sounding if you play it through a different speaker, making the whole process a bit pointless!

I bet I've got loads of remasters in my collection without realising it, or even probably being aware of the original version! therefore, I can probably say it doesn't matter to me at all!

It is aye! Ive put on some heavy strings but there's not enough movement!

Picked up an old bass collection bass. Plays OK but the neck is completely flat with the truss rod completely loosened. Any suggestions what to do (if anything) to try get a slight bow in it?

I don't mind poorly recorded stuff.. It is what it is. But the mental over production of alot of 80s stuff makes it quite hard to listen to these days, in my opinion! Def Leppard hysteria prime is example!

It's one of the main jobs of the drummer, keeping tempo! If he's not doing it right, then he's not doing his job very well! Tell him that. See how that goes down. 😅

Deep down I quite enjoy playing mustang Sally too.

Why does moon dance get the negativy? 😅 I quite enjoy that

If you're OK with the rubbish headstock decor, then consider a bass collection jazz. The one with the babicz bridge. One of the comfiest jazzes I've ever played and was really punchy! You'll have plenty of change too.

I can't offer much but I'd definitely watch/listen!

So am I the only one not really understanding why 11 songs with weeks of notice is an issue? Are they 10 minute jazz pieces? A dream theater cover band? If we're talking standard rock covers then 11 songs should be very doable! Especially the if you want the gig!

11 covers? Give us a list. Surely can't be that hard? If you want the gig, spend the hour or two learning the tunes. You'll need to know them when you join!

I did at the time, this was years ago!

I've lost close to 200 quid on here from a deal that didn't come through. Lost the money. Haven't learned my lesson though cos I'm never out the classifieds! 😅
