Bassfinger

XC90. 3 combos, 2 guitars and a bass, various bags, and thats without resorting to the back seat.

Plug in Baby.

Well, since I slept with Simon Cowell our career has really taken off!

First post covid gig went well. We waived our fee and passed round a bucket and raised £255 for a local good cause. Good turnout, we enjoued it as much as the audience, and weve been invited back for another in October.

Bursting Out - Jethro Tull. Alchemy - Dire Straits. Life Live - Thin Lizzy.

Within limits I dont think the temperature matters much. It's more the rate of change that I think is problematic? That may benan issue in an unheated garage, as would humidity and/or damp. I personally wouldn't risk it,

Yep, an ace talent. He did the bass on Rick Wakeman's the Red Planet,and in my humble opinion really brought it alive.

Thats interesting. I was playing my CII today after a few days playing my 69 precision and it struck my how - relatively - deep the profile is. Not a baseball bat by any means, but definitely more of a D feel to it than a C. I quite like it, a beeft feel without actually being genuinely beefy.

Ive sent a demo of our new song our MP. It's called I can see clearly now my piles have gone.

Holy smokes, that's quadruple the new price! 🤯

Depends on the amp. At smaller gigs I go straight to my Orange, via the tuner, which has an excellent overdrive built in. At larger venues and outdoors I use the Hartke, in which case I then use a Behringer overdrive. If im quietly practicing at home through the Bryce practice amp Omise an old Korg board with chorus, compression and flanger.

Jet Harris.

The Squier CV is the '54 body shape, so wouldn't look terribly convincing as a '51. They're great instruments in their ownnright that punch well above their price point, so well worth a test play.

Im undecided in where the tone sits on mine. I would have also said more P than J, but my Geddy Lee sig has recalibrated what a J can do in my mind. The stock pickup isn't the highest output, but has enough punch to sound convincing. Our vocallist likes it! I too think a quarter pounder maysound nice, but would ruin the character of the tone. But overall I love mine. Sounds unique, looks fantastic (I have the blonde) and feels great. Never bothered sticking it on the scales because I eat my spinach and it bothers me not, but I'd say just slighly North of middling for weight. Neck is closer to modern P than J, but not super beefy. Finish is first class, aside from slight rough edges to the pickguard on mine, and the nickel hardware is to die for. I'll be gigging with it Friday, thats how much I like it.

I'm a bit of a late convert to Rush and have to say I'm in awe of Lee's talent. It took me an age to learn the anss to Roll The Bones properly, difficult player to emulate properly.

I'm 53 and have the energy to do better, but I'm not prepared to associate with narcissistic singer-guitarists or sleep with Simon Cowell to achieve it.

He doesn't love himself much, eh?

You rang??

According to their website, the fees will be reciprocal - EU buyers will be stung for purchases in the UK as well. They website also lists fees for transactions between all sorts of different countries and the rest of the world, including the EU. I suspect Paypal are keeping their eye on the main chance and slowly, insiduosly, ratcheting fees across the board. Not having large cash holdings like a bank its hard to make a profit on interest alone, and even harder now global interest rates are fairly low. Instead they're slowly staring to take a slice of the pie as it is passed around the table.

Blimey, I didn't realise the character on the end had only one leg. I expect he fell over a fair bit.

Could never see the appeal of a Jazz. Owned a Fender player standard and a G&L and neither set my pants on fire like the Precision. But the Geddy Lee jazz that Mrs Bassfinger bought me for our anniversary has totally changed all that. I can't put the damn thing down.

Surely if you're a great musician then slap parts will be no problem? Its us sheet musicians that have problems with slapping.

I'd go Entwisle ceramics, of which im an admirer. Reasonable output, a tone somewhere between classic and modern, and just a little but of grit to them. Ive also used Warmans and mpbeen reasonably pleased, but don't have as much experience with them.

My bass sounds awesome at every gig.

Which bass player said, "If I don't practice for 2 or 3 days I start noticing it, if I din't practice for a week the fans start noticing"? Very, very rare that I miss so much as a single days practice.
