Is it only me that gets a shiver up my spine when I hear that distinctive Miles Davis tone? Jazz is such a diverse genre. Sonny Rollins is a favourite of mine.

I think I was getting there in the end. Not at all intuitive to me.

It's not about what you've got. I think it's functional now. If you consider yourself a cross curricular bassist then, err..... You are the weakest link, goodbye

Here's hoping my poll set up is okay. Edited to add, I think I got there, in the end. I'm wondering whether or not most bassists now play 5 stringers or whether 4 string players are still in the majority. What I'm really trying to establish is whether the 5 string has taken over (yet). So the poll is asking you what you consider yourself to be, regardless of what you actually own. If it's been done before (I'd have expected it to be done before) and a while ago then this can be an updated poll to establish the state of play. Peter - a 4 string bassist till I die

Good point Stuart (i.e. why didn't I think of that), I can bring my L-2000 along and save you the trouble? Peter

Me too

That looks good, how did you do it?

Wrong photo? Web shop is a bit lame.

I did a search for proper nut files a way back and they were mega expensive (from StewMac I think). Needle files or rifler files used with care should do the job. This type look the business for more serious work and aren't as expensive as the ones I looked at before: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Norman-bass-six-string-Guitar-Nut-File-System_W0QQitemZ300305568227QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar_Accessories?hash=item300305568227&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1683|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A2|240%3A1318"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Norman-bass-six-stri...%3A2|240%3A1318[/url]

I use a thumb pick on my mando Tom, I'll give it a try.

There's some strange looking lighter patches on the front of the body too. Jaco would probably have played a Spector, then he really would have been the greatest bass player in the world - ever!

Hiya Mikey It's actually the derelict in the 1st pic at the end of the Lane, beside Dabchicks sailing club. I actually used to live down the Lane, in Pacaroon Cottage.

There's at least one here: [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/Diary/79/"]http://www.acguitars.co.uk/Diary/79/[/url] and more here: [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/Gallery/174/"]http://www.acguitars.co.uk/Gallery/174/[/url] not to mention: [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/Gallery/171/"]http://www.acguitars.co.uk/Gallery/171/[/url] (Not Stuarts though - mine all mine )

I've just got in from band practice, a really good session and the Tribby was impressive to say the least.

Yep I'm glad it wasn't me. Just got in from band practice and Tribby through LMII Hartke and one GS112 was pretty impressive to say the very least

It's brand spankin' and quite a revelation being tonally varied and very versatile. No weak G strings or output here. I've fancied a try on one for a while and natural would have been my choice so positives all round really. I'd recommend having a go on one if you get a chance.

Here's a few photos of my recent impulse driven purchase fuelled by a price tag of £349. 3 piece ash body and weighs in at 9.4lbs. Doesn't seem that heavy Really pleased I jumped at it.

Cheers Paul - Immense! Seems my ears are wrong

Yo! The two resources I've found tell me that the active/passive switch is, front to rear; active treble boosted/active/passive. My ear tells me the opposite Am I wrong or are the Tribbies reversed? Are the tone controls cut or boost? That's it, will get some photos up later. Thanks in anticipation. Pedro
