  1. Might be nice to add Colin Hodgkinson, John Gustafson, Carles Benavent & Joe Osbourn to the list
  2. Hope You are well & safe too. I bet your shoulder it happy at the switch & I bet they sound fantastic. But all this isn't helping My GAS for one of the Violet Fade ones!!! 😁
  3. Very Nice. Do You not play 6 Strings any more Matt? Or are these as well?
  4. Agree with both posts drTStingray The players You mention were influences from the Soul/jazz funk side but add to the like players from other genres and the percentage is higher. The muting was the main thing one learned, and new strings or boil them was the way. Blimey You had some nice amps when You started out LOL 😁
  5. For Me it they weren't the sound I wanted we saw flats as old guys strings. Plus with the "amps" we had (50w was big) you needed everything you had to cut through! And Rotosound had good adverts LOL
  6. Sitting Playing on a beach or by a lake

      I make do with Straw's Bridge.  I wouldn't play bass there though.  I like to be kind to wildlife.

      Welcome to the forum.

      Thanks

      Headphones only I wouldn't inflict my spontaneous improvisations on Man nor Beast!!  LOL 

  7. Isn't that a bit like how Alembic Dummy PUs work? I have basses with single coil & Humbuckers, but overall I think I prefer Singles. Like to try an Xotic
  8. Same here but mine was an SB700 probably 81ish . Wish I had held on to it!!! Much better for what I was doing than the Ricky
  9. I heard thats how Mick liked to record (listen to Dali's Car)
  10. I bought a Ricky in about 1978 (on HP) that had those on, I thought they were horrible! They seemed like someone had wrapped bakofoil around them, I changed them straight away n binned them!!!!
  11. The Strings on that Shaftesbury look like Roto Black Nylon. From my memory most new US basses were fitted with flats in the 70's but most everyone changed them to RS66's As for amps we thought HH were posh We had Carlsbro or own made!! LOL
