Flatly refuse. Bass solos are just sad. They're right up there with drum solo's on a list of things nobody wants to hear. Except maybe the bass player and drummer. If I'm in the audience that's the point at which I go to the bog or the bar.

Dinosaurs and d#ck heads. Like a lot of things "rock n roll". It may have been seen as acceptable once upon a time. Now it's just sad.

I can never find a pick when I want one. I've never yet managed to lose my fingers.

What a total skank! If this had been a man p#ssing on stage there'd be outrage, and most likely prosecutions and fines for public indecency.

Yup. I have exactly the same problem and mentioned it in another post but nobody else seemed to have it. I power my ms50b from my Harley Benton Airborne Pro power out. But it's still there if I use another power supply or even on batteries. So I've ruled out it being the power supply. I've also used it with cables to rule out the wireless system so it's not that either. it's what I can only describe as a high pitched whine. I've found the only way to make it even bearable is to turn off the tweeter and dial the treble back on the amp.

Good lord! It's that seriously what a pint costs in the UK these days? I can have two whole nights out for that! 😳

Paywall. Probably a good thing.

Pubs pay bands? 😳

Funny. I was just thinking how many bargain priced Spectors there are around at the moment. But, then again I wouldn't be looking at listings for Jazz or P basses. So maybe my vision is skewed.

Yup. There are at least a couple of our songs that I would really like to play acoustic guitar on. But if I'm badly playing guitar, who's going to be badly playing bass?

A joint record for today at 14 years. 😆

Calm down dear. It's just the internet.

I think the OP has probably figured it out out by now or doesn't care any more. It's a 14 year old post and the poster hasn't been on the forum in over a year.

When's it coming out?

Congratulations on the greatest resurrection since Jesus.

My most disappoint purchase of all time was a Big Muff. I was gutted when I ordered one and a bass pedal turned up.

The church on the other hand.......

Yup. Same here if I had any way of getting it from Leicester, and I do play six string.

What a shame they're pretty much all uninspired Fender clones. I think Ashdown is a superb company. Their amps and cabs are great, and from what I've read here and elsewhere online, their customer service is second to none. (Although I've never needed to use it personally) I'd like have seen them do something a little more out of the box design wise. Nothing too radical, but just not a straight copy and paste of Leo's homework. At that price point, if you want something like a Fender, buy a Fender.

I didn't think anyone could make anything uglier than a P bass..... I was wrong.

Here we go. I was sure I'd seen something on here about this before. Maybe give this guy a shout? https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/407323-another-vinyl-bass-wrap/?tab=comments#comment-4026978

Wouldn't it limit the bass to only playing wrap music? (I'll get my coat)

My main bass is a six stringer that weighs 14lbs. It's kind of like Thor's hammer. Only the worthy can wield it.

The HEFT!
