Is the trend now to have less bass ?
Musicman666 replied to BassAdder60's topic in General Discussion
i'm surprised he had the front to repackage the rio bassline quite so obviously. -

i could see this being used in a dads army scenario.. -
a guitar drop tuned is a baritone all the way until it hits an octave below when magically it turns into a bass.

my only issue with this bass is that i would constantly feel a bit worried about putting the first ding in...

The bass model design that You hate with passion.
Musicman666 replied to nilorius's topic in General Discussion
well of course you can always remove or reinstall training wheels but fretlines are permanent .. I think of them more like the diagram on top of a gear stick, essential at first but once you get the hang of it then not so much, however its good to know that they are there to fall back on when required. I have heard some reasons to not want fretlines such as they put some people off or others like the look of a plain board, but I suspect some just like to flex in front of an audience. If you want that no fretlines experience then you can always turn off the lights, ..so far I never felt the urge. Fretlines look pretty much like frets to me and I'm very comfortable with that particular look. -
i have a jazz fretless with the dead spot in the same area as the op and i also got rid of it with the fat finger ..not sure if it moved to another location but dammed if i can find it.

apparently the inspiration came to ernie while sitting on the khazi. -

Musicman666 replied to nilorius's topic in General Discussion
well taking the logic to its ultimate conclusion wouldn't that be all we really need regardless of fretless or fretted ..just the dots along the leading edge, everything else would presumably be decorative fluff? -

..everyone goes on about fret lines on a fretless and how superfluous they are ..but nothing about fingerboard dots and led lights on a regular fretted ..go figure. -

how do they compare unplugged?

i wonder how the graphite would compare to the wood if they had the same preamp?

my stingray plays like butter but without the dead spots ..do you think it might be fake?

i'm not quite sure what your point is here mate ... i posted in response to the op who plays long scale but was asking about shortscale and i merely responded by saying you can try it out without buying one ... i own a shortscale too, im not against using them if that's what your hinting at.

-
yeah when playing a long scale at the second fret all i can think about is how wide the neck is and how much the headstock sticks out with this huge bulky body..🙄
-
depends what your playing ..say for instance my status headless lends itself very nicely and any jazz bass works great in terms of neck width ...nearly all my basses are d standard these days and capo them from time to time and they play great. I cut my teeth on a musicmaster so i know the pros and cons of shortscale ..so doing this for me is the best of both worlds. Also capo gives your bass a zero fret ...makes the action and playability really spot on. Long scale is balanced and not bulky ..it just has two more frets on the neck.
-
why not tune a bass down to standard d and throw a capo on the second fret ..instant shortscale .

Is there a popular bass player, that you just don’t get?
Musicman666 replied to Rayman's topic in General Discussion
.. naively I thought saying " don't get me wrong, i love the sounds he produces" would somehow protect from tool diehards .. evidently I was wrong. -

Musicman666 replied to Rayman's topic in General Discussion
for me it's justin chancellor .. don't get me wrong, i love the sounds he produces but i look at what he's playing and it doesn't seem to look all that challenging in contrast to his fan base which seem to think it is. -
terrible news RIP Steve ..!! ...and RIP Karl Wallinger two of the best singer song writers gone in the space of a few days.
