    I've been in so-called originals bands where some songs were great and some I was not a fan off. That's normal; unless maybe you are the band leader or musical director. I don't think I have ever been in band where I liked all the songs.
  2. EssentialTension
    That is lovely and unusual.
  3. EssentialTension
    I don't.

    Forgot to say I also have a PJB Bass Buddy, which is largely the same item minus the power amp and speakers.

    I have a cream-coloured PJ Briefcase. It's been home practice amp for years and since I retired from gigging it's been my only amp. I love it.

    Talking of the Airplane, I always preferred them to the Dead.
  7. EssentialTension
    Similar with tempo. If the song gets much faster or slower then the original bass part may well need changing.
  8. EssentialTension
    I recall some 'deadheads' becoming 'punks' overnight. At least they shared some anti-establishment credentials, or so they claimed. I always liked American Beauty and Workingman's Dead.

    I had a fretless Fender Jazz with TI flats. Similarly, I had a fretless Fender Precision also with TI flats. But on a Takamine B10 I preferred La Bella 760FS flats.

    I don't get why changing the strings would make a bass more saleable.
  12. EssentialTension
    Oh, and I play with one finger, two if really necessary.

    +1 on very short fingernails. I can't bear any length at all.

    Brian Wilson on the thumb and tugbar ...

    Just a personal preference of course but I like DR Legend Flats. But the strings on a bass would not make me buy it or not buy it. I would almost always expect to change the strings anyway.

    As all twelve notes are available on a bass string then surely any song could be played up and down a single string.

    Send it back.

    This one would be better value for money.
  19. EssentialTension
    very nice

    I don't seek out sunburst but nor is it a deal breaker.

    "No, I don't know it, but if you can write it out for me in accurate notation (or tab if you must), I will see if I can play it for you." Keep a supply of staff paper and a black pen in your gigbag in case of this eventuality.

    Noow owned by Bob Daisley ... https://bobdaisley.com/gallery/bobs-guitars ... and scroll down

    Maybe my recall is inaccurate, it was forty years ago. If it wasn't Columbus, I'd guess at Antoria and I'm not certain it was a Ripper copy not a Grabber. Either way it seemed an OK instrument in those days.
  24. EssentialTension
    In the early 1980s I briefly had a black defretted Ripper-style copy labelled Columbus, if i remember correctly. It was an OK bass.

    Also lefty Fender Jazz in White Album period.
