    Wah - I can't write basslines!

    [quote name='Doddy' post='1125959' date='Feb 13 2011, 02:10 PM']When you've written a melody or a progression,put the instrument down and just listen. Try to sing an idea for a bassline,before you pick up the bass. This will stop you from falling into your stock patterns,and make for a more interesting line.[/quote]

    +1 to this.
    Most of the home-made basslines that i have come up with that i like, originated in my head and didn't just fall out of the bass. The stock pattern thing is a disease that i suffer from badly... :)

    Heaviest bass?

    Hmmm following my Gibson victory artist thread from yesterday and the revalation that they can weigh in the region of 13lbs i did some bass weighing this morning.

    My MM Sabre (which i thought was the lightest i had :) ) 10lbs 15oz !! Must just balance really well or something, feels light as a feather to me.

    Stingray 4. 10lbs 1oz. Standard fare for a Ray i guess.

    Sterling by MM Ray35 = 11lbs dead. I find this fairly weighty but certainly playable, i just cant believe it is only 1oz heavier than the Sabre....maybe i'm just wierd... :)

    Having said that, I have a list of all the ebay Victory auctions from Dec09 until Jun10 when I got mine if you're interested.[/quote]

    Cheers mate that would be great, when you the have time. :)
    + How heavy is yours? I am used to a Ray35 which is pretty weighty i.e 10lbs+. Will more training be required??!!

    Looking at one of these on the bay.com. Condition wise, It is about as mint as you can get for a 1981 bass,complete with original case.
    Been on my GAS list for a while (Along with RD Artists) :) :) :lol:

    Does anyone have any idea what it is likely/ought to make?

    Cheers

    [quote name='lee650' post='1083064' date='Jan 9 2011, 12:30 PM']And they do it in mint green too fantastic, ive been lusting after a MG classic ray since they came out, but alas nearly 2k is not going to be available to me anytime soon !! so the ray34ca might be a viable option, a shame the green one doesnt have a maple board though i really would be foaming at the mouth!!! HA HA geddit foaming!!![/quote]

    +1 to this....These do look really good. How do you know they are doing them in mint green???

    Will this fit my (soon to be delivered) Mex Roger Waters 'P' do you reckon?

    Cheers,

    Gary[/quote]

    Hi Gary.

    As far as i know, yes it should. It came off an American Deluxe Jazz but i am pretty sure all Jazz and Precision basses are the same, bridge wise...... Feel free anyone to correct me if i am wrong!!

    Nice bass by BTW.... Black'n'Maple.....mmmmm :)

    Cheers
    Tom
