    Yep, three things come to mind.... 1. If you joined a band in which guitarist does sound you could have seen this coming 2. If you let the guitarist start doing the sound once you were already in the band, you could have seen this coming 3. If the guitarist decided to do the sound on his own volition, you could have seen this coming........ Sorry. But there's a rule to be adhered to here. NEVER LET THE GUITARIST DO THE LEVELS

    .....I'm tempted to lose the pickguard and install a Jazz Bass front PUP cover to be honest, it's protect the PUP and provide a thumb rest

    Not sure, I'll take a look around, either way I've never been a huge fan of the ashtray covers on the 51s so that option's out 👍

    I’m with this ^ And this ^ Plus I’m so bored of web-based shit taking up our lives. Stop feeding the f***ing machine folks

    Next up.... I'm not really a Jazz kinda guy, but I can forgiven them when they are sporting a maple fretless Precision neck. This combination works very well, neck and body seem to suit each other 👍

    Yep, and sublime tone also, for me it's not often that a bassline evokes feeling in the way the bassline in Chemtrails does 👍

    Hey mate, I've three very nice 6-string electro-acoustics, of which I play zero. Let's talk 👍

    ....although what I will tell you is that it is a Warmoth Precision that is so ludicrously underweight that it has a contract with a Paris model agency for the Autumn catwalk season

    All in good time my friend.........., all going well all nine should be in the public domain by close of play tomorrow 👍

    First up, maple FL Precision, Shuker neck that is rather wonderful, 70's Daion MIJ body that has that 'I'm genuinely old and not reliced' vibe, EMG Geezers, and yes, LOLLIPOPS It's not a responder so the Badass is coming off to be replaced by a nice 70's RI BBOT

    ‘51 PUPs are a f***ing nightmare, I think a thumb-rest might be going on at some stage, although I’ve done OK so far I’m worried about knocking the PUP around too much
  14. Beedster
    Which was me until we started rehearsing Odelay 👍

    Lovely quote from JMJ about the recording of the bassline “The guys were getting some amusement at the fact that I was sweating bullets trying to correctly play this monster I had created. That's my favorite thing to do: write things that are at the threshold of my ability.” Nice short article here https://www.guitarworld.com/features/justin-meldal-johnsen-on-becks-sexx-laws

    Oh shit, to play bass like JMJ here......

    Glorious, that’s quite an eclectic selection! It might be an urban myth but I heard about a guy spending weeks removing a set of Top Trumps cards his lad had seen fit to store in his DB 😀

    Make sure your kids haven’t dropped/inserted a small plastic toy that came in a McDs Happy Meal through the F-Hole. Obvs not speaking from experience 🤔
  19. Beedster
    That vocal ain't sampled 👍
  20. Beedster
    Again quite poppy, but I love this, elements of Beach Boys and Devo, a heady mix...
  21. Beedster
    Will listen to it, thanks Re sampling, it's the extraordinary way you simply can't tell unless you REALLY listen and REALLY know your music, more than once I've heard a Radio 6 DJ play an obscure tune from the 60s or 70s followed by 'And of course Beck sampled that in.......". Mostly CC of course 👍
  22. Beedster
    It's lovely, it took close to 10-years of talking to make it happen, but it is a great way to play music. I'm very lucky to be by some distance the least talented person in the band, which is highly motivating 👍
  23. Beedster
    A strong statistical likelihood Lawrie mate 😁
  24. Beedster
    And this is simply sublime songwriting and performance.......
  25. Beedster
    Haha, he's a magpie at times, it's really hard even with some of his more obvious songs to know what's performed and what's sampled, but as you say, the songs are often wonderful, and the creativity in the interplay or performance and sampling is at times breathtaking
