Do you think the thickness of a bass neck affects tone? How?
Spoombung replied to Dood's topic in General Discussion
I don't know, although most of my basses have thin necks and I still manage to make them sound astounding. -
The no.1 mid-priced bass IMO. They're great.

[quote name='dyerseve' timestamp='1472754783' post='3123974'] One Of the sexiest basses I have seen and heard!!! [/quote] Yeah, but no one seems interested enough to buy it! -
Hmm, found this. It looks very similar. It's a called a Thomson. Anyone know anything about them?

Here's an old photo from my student days. I bought this bass in 1982 from a shop in Canterbury. Back then acoustic basses were very rare. It had a fibre glass bowl back (like an ovation) a rosewood fretless fingerboard and a piezo pickup which sounded revoltingly scratchy. I also hated the way the bulky curve of the back of the bass made it turn over in my lap. I know there was a shop in the West End also sold these. Anyway, I don't remember what bass model was called and would quite like to know. Any ideas?

[quote name='TommyK' timestamp='1470308515' post='3104924'] What are the necks like on a wal 4? I really fancy saving up for one but yet to try one. Are they more stingray/p than jazz? [/quote] As Trevor says, they are generally round, fat and chunky which can put a lot of people off along with the nut width and the weight of the instrument.

I played musical saw on the Cobra and Phrases album. Seems like years ago now...

This a very fine bass line (played by my friend Sean) and one of my favourite Stereolab songs http://youtu.be/9aYJwd1nyNw

[quote name='PaulGibsonBass' timestamp='1470846610' post='3108929'] I enjoyed Stereolab. Another similar band from the same era I liked was Broadcast, from Birmingham. Anyone remember them? [/quote] Yep. Loved them http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kfm_vQYqGLk

[quote name='three' timestamp='1468659189' post='3092403'] Still some of the best carving I've seen! Incidentally, some brilliant images of Stump at a recent exhibition in Birmingham (backstage at Butberries) [/quote] interesting!

Bump.

Here's mine. It's one of the nicest I've seen. There's been a few changes since I bought it: thinner frets (not sure that was a good idea!) and a Bartolini pickup replacing the bridge pickup. It's a lovely, lightweight bass with a great squashy attack to it. The most annoying thing is the position of the jack input which means you can't stand it up against a wall and even some stands don't accommodate it well with a lead inserted.
