Just dropped by to say the title of this thread would be a great opening line for a song.

Few article segments here:

TBH, the Jaco 'Artist Spotlight' doesn't really say much more than this...

 

 

That Jaco article screams 'AI'.

Where’s the green? That’s… not green.

Bump - now £50 for both sets,

including postage. Save yourself a chunk of cash!

p.s. - cobblers.

So your ears will tell you how something will sound before you’ve played it?

 

Yes. There's no way I have theory thundering through my head while I'm playing. In short, I know where my hands need to go on the fretboard to play a note I know will work.

I suspect we're wired differently, and you know what? That's fine.

No, your ears will only tell you after the event.

Cobblers.

It’s rare to find one of these that isn’t signed by Sting 😄

This has to be the most niche question ever asked on BC.

Nathan East.

New Moon for me. Never had to claim, but I've heard positive reports from people who have.

(and they'll cover your gear when it's unattended in the car)

These have just arrived... and like a dafty, I've ordered the wrong gauge.

Brand new, unopened.£30 each, or £50 for both, including UK postage. 

If you have a specific target audience, it's very much worth doing.

Otherwise, it's a bit of 'throw muck at the wall and see what sticks'.

To be perfectly honest I am not impressed.

 

Also, what exactly is this supposed to proof?

 

Where is the version where you don't base the solo on music theory but primarily use your ears and intuition, so we can compare and see which is better?

 

 

I think you may have misinterpreted the previous posts.

Yep, happening at the moment.

I grew up listening to The Eagles. I know every song inside out, and have a deep knowledge of all the bass parts.

…but then I joined an Eagles tribute band, and discovered I was very, very mistaken.

So how come this ‘56 P is ‘only’ £7k?

Partially ‘cos it’s in the US.

I like BassBros. They seem to be on a mission to keep vintage prices reasonable.

If it worked that well, everyone would be doing it. 

I dunno. Even if it worked well, it would still look prohibitively daft.

Also i note there are no pup or bridge cover holes, or thumbrest holes for that matter - is that normal on 80's fenders?

Yep.

At the risk of provoking another series of allegations about elitism and snobbery, I'd be in favour of a split between 4-strings and 5+ strings. Alternatively, some means of categorising and filtering like Bass Direct/BassBros/Bass Gallery have on their websites - number of strings, fretted/fretless, brand, etc.

 Yes if it can be done by tagging & filtering, but (IMO) no if it means separate forums for each.

A pedant writes:

The guitarist plays a wierdly choppy rhythm part in places on Tom Sawyer, and it's pretty jarring. Apart from that, they're bloody good.

I wrap my stuff up pretty quickly, then straight in the car with it.

After that, I move on to everything else. I prefer lugging the big boxes outside, ‘cos wrapping cables bores me to death.

I have to bite my tongue when others are either slow, or don’t do their fair share.

I like looking at photos of basses as much as the next person; I did a quick count a few days ago and the ratio of basses was something like 7:1 in favour of Fender shapes.

 

You're a Precision-lad; you can get a fix of all those one trick ponies in their own area!  😘

True, but if there was a P forum, all I'd ever look at is P's, and I might miss something non-P that tickles my fancy.

Keep them all together. It's not hard to scroll past, or search. 😘

IMO no. The fewer silos the better.

Listened to all of this in installments. It's like when you go to the pub with a mate but he's got his other mate there and they talk about things you weren't part of and can only relate to a little bit. I had to search out "Voodoo" and will now give it a listen but not knowing that album or it's history made the vast majority of that podcast just background noise, sadly. I'd have loved to hear more about some of his pop work in the 80s and the experience of playing with the Who but it was barely touched upon, unless during parts where I fell asleep. 

To be fair, it's a US podcast and he's maybe not so well known for his 80s pop work over there.

It's a shame Questlove & Co. were so chatty. I want to know how he got around his broken flatwould predicament, but they changed the subject just as he got to the pay-off.
