[quote name='nash' timestamp='1491986235' post='3276901'] Absolutely spot on. For me the Air Fix analogy above doesn't work. It's a model vs a working real machine. We're talking about two things that perform the same task. It's like when people buy fake Louis Vuitton handbags or fake Stone Island jackets. It's wrong. It's not attention to detail, it's robbing someone else's credit. [/quote] This is bang on. That spitfire analogy is miles off the mark. I simply don't understand why it seems to be acceptable to do this. In any other walk of life, rebadging an item to pass it off as a premium brand (hmmm) is just simply wrong. If you're happy to play a Harley Benton for example, then you should be giving them the credit. In fact, i love to see guys playing not that expensive instruments and making them sound decent!

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1491924909' post='3276536'] See, for me that's not clickbait. 'Clickbait', as I understand it, is about enticing people to click on stuff for the sake of generating advertising venue (from click-through fees). What you've pointed to here is a free tutorial, made available by Scott, which is actually useful. That's not clickbait. Sure, Scott runs a business and he'd love us all to be subscribers to his commercial service. And this video is designed as a taster for that. But it's not clickbait in the true sense of the word. It's just a snappily written video title. Better that than "Practice lick #142" or whatever the alternatives might be [/quote] This. 100% The content provided for free by Scott (and no doubt the other guy too) is excellent. Can't rely understand how anyone can complain about it! Clickbait for me is things like 'how to lose a stone in a week guaranteed' or 'see Kylie minogue naked'. I've clicked on both and they weren't what they said they were!

Or a vox amplug. Sounds vastly better than headphone out on an amp. I find them to be a bit sterile sounding. There's one for sale in the classifieds Oops, i agree with fretmeister

[quote name='Sean' timestamp='1491639925' post='3274432'] I'm a dyed-in-the-wool PJ player and I couldn't get on with the Aerodyne because: 1. The bound edges are uncomfortable. 2. The stock pups are really weedy. I swapped mine for Fralins and this then brought out the real sound of the bass... 3. The sound of the bass for whatever reason (basswood body perhaps?) didn't click with me. 4. You can't fit an aftermarket bridge without some fettling. The stock bridge is very good though. It looks stunning and has a great neck. [/quote] It's funny, the sharp body has never even crossed my mind. I feel it, but it's not uncomfortable. I play finger style though so my arm isn't really in that area i suppose.

This is excellent! Still too much cabbage for my wallet but it's getting closer!

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1491485480' post='3273416'] That doesn't sound great... [/quote] Yeah... but they sound good together. Plus... I only recently changed the j pickup so it couldn't really uqve been that bad. Plus it sounds and plays great so it's worth it. My point was dont buy it if you want it to sound just like a pbass.

I have a red one for about 10 years. Love it. The jazz pickup is relatively noisy and weedy though so I'd change that. When playing bass pickup alone it definitely doesn't have as much girth as a normal pbass has. However the size, the neck, the playability and looks make up for it.

Every musician should spend an hour or two finding isolated bass tracks of famous tunes just to gwt rhe sound and feel of how they were played. When recording alot of people hear the dry bass track and thinks it sounds awful and won't Bruce that it will work. What i do find amazing is some vocal dry tracks that don't sound great, or have serious headphone bleed... but end up alright! Studio guys are magicians sometimes!

[quote name='blablas' timestamp='1484663305' post='3217268'] Added a new pedal board to my pedals. The DIY trays I made were not really up to the job anymore after I bought a Two Notes Le Bass, this thing is big. I still need to clean up the wiring but that's a low priority at the moment. [/quote] I find this board extremely aesthetically pleasing.
