I have a couple but the reasons or buying them was purely because of the spec, not the player.

Used to follow this band a lot in the 80s, remember one particular squat gig getting raided by all these police …the support was zodiac mindwarp…heady daze for sure.

my wal..

I bought my son the maudio keystation (he loves it) , then just get a lite free version of tracktion/waveform or whatever that has built in synths etc . As said before small keys is a mistake to learn on…it will put him off…. ps ..just noticed you got one…good choice!

I’m totally into bass guitars working with drum machines. Gorillaz are a pretty good example of what’s possible. I have loads of drum machines …but for the op requirements I would definitely go with the beat buddy, and get the foot switch.

I find having a lined board helps tremendously when I have to hit notes spot on fretted style, especially higher up the register. Of course I can play without them but it’s never going to be quite as accurate.

Keith Richards, Hendrix and Gilmour have all stepped up to the plate.

You can get to the same place by listening on headphones but feeding the low end to a subwoofer.

Some guy called Bruce…

Thanks mate..

I wouldn't mind catching Hackett at some stage , at least he looks like he might actually make it through the set.

I wonder what all that withdrawn stuff was …eccelshall went cheap in my view.

What a disaster, …I saw them last at the reunion tour with Gabriel and Hackett and really I don’t want to be disappointed by seeing them again if it isn't as good, …and going by recent youtube clips I think I’m ok just leaving it.

Or maybe whoever bought it found out something, the price is too close to the original to be speculative unless the original owner sold it super cheap which I somehow doubt.

Bearing in mind what it represents I think this is quite a good investment.

…. Pissing myself when hooky told that story about buying a bass head ….so which speaker are you plugging it into???

All these previously poor jd and new order fans are now rich retirees and hooky knows it.

Safe bet is to get a pbass with the jazz bass pickup so it looks the part and covers a lot of ground sonically, hopefully quite cheap so you can knock it about a bit.

I saw that add and was tempted, the made by my dad comment spooked me a bit, sounded like it might not have passed through robs hands, but I’m shallow as the colour ultimately deterred me, but at this price for a genuine carbon neck status …with a bit of tlc this could be a killer deal.

I have an s2 fretless bolt on, it has really detailed and clear fundamentals which is great for that mwah. I have tried a lot of other fretless basses over the years but the s2 is the king at this, and no fade away dead spots. I think the main reason for getting a status would be the carbon neck, without it it just becomes another well made bass which is ok but I might well go for something else if that was the case. Since getting the fretless I am now getting a fretted version, i have never played a fretted status but if it’s anything like the fretless I’ll be real happy…fingers crossed.

Lol..yes, so dry …miss the guy.

More a poet than a singer….love this one.
