[quote name='gareth' timestamp='1486142949' post='3229641'] Cant emphasize too much how good this bass is!

[quote name='blank20' timestamp='1486140996' post='3229614'] If You want something good and non expensive, You should consider theese two models https://musicsquare.co.uk/156821_Fender-Squier-Vintage-Modified-Jazz-Bass-824270s-CAR-Bass-Guitar.html https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/JBass77Amb [/quote]I dig that Amber 77 jazz. I don't care about the name personally, but I'm worried about quality and playability. I'm coming from a Maruszczyk so I'm not super high end.

IMO. one of the best Anita Baker records. Freddie Washington slapping on that P Bass i believe. This is what soul music and her music, is all about for me. She's without doubt my desert island music. I think me and my sister have everything she's ever recorded between us, and been to see her live seven times. We can sit and listen to most of her albums and sing the lyrics back to back. Freaky soul loving brother and sister. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9dytLAEPYE[/media]

And people are moaning about music awards. She, among other's are the reason for them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bey9z9N0JzE

[quote name='Heathy' timestamp='1486064958' post='3229020'] He's rather good isn't he. What album(s) would you recommend? [/quote] His debut The Golden Age of the Apocalypse is still a cracker. Start from there. Very interesting BassPlayer/Songwriter,

[quote name='visog' timestamp='1486063957' post='3229006'] We've had a thread on this: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/258272-semi-acoustic-sixes/page__p__2752507__hl__thundercat__fromsearch__1#entry2752507 And moreover it was located properly under Bass Guitars. No worse a crime than failing to post in the relevant category. [/quote]I like to think of it as a crossover post.

[quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1486054131' post='3228882'] Reminds me of Patituci's Yamaha acoustic 6. [/quote]I love that. Im not sure my ribs and arm would say the same.

Apart from the guys amazing talent on the bass and his music. I really dig this six string. At first i thought it was an Ibanez, but I'm not sure. Maybe a custom Ibanez semi acoustic.?. Is it an Artcore.? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVqETCMg3SA[/media]

Am I missing something.? It just looks like a black P bass with some red on it and a black headstock. Whilst saving money and not glossing the bass. One of the more pointless exercises from Fender,s marketing team.

Another cracker with Rahsaan P. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2iCw63n3D4

My sister had this playing tonight. the album is so so great. Old one now but its so funky. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbMPklMGHjo

Imagine if they had a MOWO.[quote name='PaulGibsonBass' timestamp='1485873618' post='3227388'] The whole Brit / Grammy award thing is all about making money on the pretext of honouring artists. Personally I hate the idea of music awards. Best band, best album, says who? Music's not a competition. [/quote] No its not. But its just a vote, and doesn't mean its the best. Its just TV, everyone will watch it , go home and not be influenced by whats best on a TV award ceremony. You like what you like. You don't need an award show to tell you that. Like you said its all about money. Just like the charts. Do i think that a lot of artists are worthy of recognition.? Yes i do.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1485862447' post='3227223'] I wonder how many Maruszczyk owners didn't need a new bass until they saw other people's sofa shots of something colourful and pretty, and thought... That's what marketing is all about, and Fender just seem to be rubbish at it. [/quote] I agree. But like someone else has said it comes down to cost at mass production. People will still buy them though. I think that's the difference. I'm not sure they really care about the customer as much as Adrian Maruszczyk does. I do wonder if he could mantain his quality and options if he were as big as Fender.?

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1485600277' post='3225169'] How many people are running a passive only EQ on their amps with these passive basses? [/quote]Arent we talking passive basses.Not passive amps.It's a given that the amp has an EQ and an active circuit. But the bass itself is still passive. Good point though.

I'm more baffled by there website. Very confusing. Missing colours,missing basses.

Mike Post I believe. Love the song. Work it out by ear.

I don't think a flatter radius makes any difference to how low you can get the action.
