  1. I play both. Last week, I played through the set list with both. I’m faster on the 4 but overall, it’s more fluid on the 5. I’m going to switch around for a bit. When I’m reading, the five will always be my go to.
  2. I’ve got one in flat black that I’m fixing up. I had a ‘63 Jazz for a number of years and the 24’s neck feels just as good. I like the tonal variety. The mid sweep and “slap switch” work well at gigs for a fast tone adjustment. I’m a bit farther away but you’re welcome to try it.
  3. Having taken waayyyy too much music theory, I tend to agree with Adam Neely that, although correct and all, this is an attempt to place a round peg (modern chord loop), in a square hole (18th century composition rules). I'd just as soon bet that the writer was sitting at a piano, noodling and found this progression. It's a good progression too....just didn't start out as figured bass...:)
  4. You just need to install Sklar's "producer switch" onto your favorite bass.....
  5. Looks like most of the emails I get from my school leaders....seriously
  6. It’s a tool…we tend to use the best tool for the job.
  7. Wow...I'd totally forgotten about this album...baby needs a new pair of snakeskin boots/hello, it's me.....good times
  8. How about big box home centers and such? This weekend, I went into a big Home center to get some tubing that I use in my garden. I found the tubing, cut it to size and took it up to the register. The poor youngster looks at me and says how much is this? I replied that I didn’t check because traditionally they have a chart that tells them how much it is per meter. So I go back, take a picture of the price tag per meter, get back into the queue and check out. The kid charges for 1 m when I clearly had much more than that, but at that point, I didn’t think it was my problem.. It’s over to the car care place, Get the can of what I think is copper coat, then, upon reading the can, ask the guy behind the counter if this is anti-seize. He does my favorite trick for these folks and starts reading the can. I just shook my head, paid the guy and left.. this is what I get for not going to a proper auto parts store. Is it too much to ask that people who work in these types of businesses at least know a little bit about the products they’re selling?
  9. I used to do pickup gigs with a drummer friend who would book jobs, then fill in with whoever was free. Guy comes in with a flying V in one hand and his 12 guage pump shotgun in the other. Leans both against his amp and starts to tune. I carefully introduced myself while asking if the gun was loaded. He gave me the look we used to get from ‘Nam veterans and kept tuning his guitar. Good player , but did not utter a word all night…not a relaxing gig…I never accepted another dep request from the drummer…no idea what happened to the guitarist.
  10. I can't say I ever kept a bass I hated (cough-Ric-cough), but... Gibson RD Artist--amazing tone and incredibly versatile tone set, but the weight almost destroyed my shoulder...oh, and it would pick up CB Radio traffic... Yamaha NE2....great bass-really stupid, fiddly hard to use input jack...just silly IMO Spector Spectracore....horrible cheap input jack...getting ready to put a good one in... Any P bass---the neck Any (actual) Jazz Bass---the constant single coil buzz.. G&L L2000 tribute...just a general feeling of discontent with the neck, the tone, and everything Any bass that makes you take the back panel off to change the battery... That's it, I think...
  11. My Spectracore does pretty well….added bonus is the ability to blend between the piezo and soap bar.
  12. Very much this for me as well….
  13. Well said, sir, and very correct! When you do get the rare chance to perform with those types, enjoy it!
  14. Putting this here as well...am very interested in this EUB, and am prepared to pick it up if everything works as it should.
  15. I have been playing a five with the country band, but am taking my Jazz 4 to the next gig. I really wonder if anyone (at all) will notice. I think we switch things around for ourselves. I do know that nobody is more obsessed with tone than a bass player, and nobody else (except the sound guy who will make it sound....uh.....different) cares. I'm still going to do both, though....
  16. If it’s any help, I’ve got the single version, don’t have a bass that doesn’t fit nicely
