  2. [quote name='Chewie' timestamp='1485704257' post='3225941'] Hello mate, Just admiring the bass. Have you ever thought about putting a 2mm packer in between the saddles of the bridge? Maybe you could use something metal to help not thwart any sustain. You could do it creatively to be discrete. I did this with a 70's jazz bass and it worked a treat i thought. I guess you'd need 8mm to spare on the width of the neck. [/quote] Arent these SR5 necks designed for this string spacing. ? I really would dig an SR5 with 19 mm spacing
  3. [quote name='Mcgiver69' timestamp='1485632848' post='3225511'] From that episode I think this is my favourite tune [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Igkyajvrm-8[/media] [/quote]Boz Scaggs is a huge favourite of mine. He sung backing vocals with Micheal Mcdonald on a lot of Steely Dan records. His guitar playing with Steve is great.

  5. [quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1485630809' post='3225496'] Brilliant, isn't it. THere's a few good versions from Daryl's House. This one's awesome too... [media]http://youtu.be/GoXxdObGKuI[/media] [/quote] Yep. fantastic!! I think that is possibly the best one with Cee Lo.. Thankyou buddy.
  6. [quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1485625675' post='3225446'] Here's my favourite moment from LADH: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unoYkG3EUwc"]https://www.youtube....h?v=unoYkG3EUwc[/url] [/quote]Love that.!! Her voice.! Very clever woman is Diane B.
  7. [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1485613226' post='3225317'] Slap doesn't tell you anything about the sound of the bass, other than how it sounds when it's slapped. When was the last time you heard slap bass on a contemporary recording on the radio ? In all my years of gigging I've only ever had to play it on one song, that was car wash. I hate slap bass. We had to do various slap things at uni as exam things, Frankenstein being one. I absolutely hated them. [/quote]Oh that word Hate is harsh, but I'm sure I've used it before so i get how you might feel.. Its just another technique. Yes it can be annoying, but there are great examples depending on the player. There are a few pop records that the bass player slaps on. I will agree that Dan Veal's playing is great and i love his level headed reviews. i don't think its good to dismiss a technique. Not all bass players use there ego when there playing slap. "Slap doesn't tell you anything about the sound of the bass, other than how it sounds when it's slapped" isn't that the point.?
  8. [quote name='AREA' timestamp='1485503467' post='3224371'] I would prefer a Sire V7 or Sire V7 Vintage (70s Stringspacing) over a MIM Fender any Day. [/quote]Im aware its a great Jazz bass, but is it only me that doesn't like like the Sire Jazz body shape. And maybe the Marcus Miller plastered all over the headstock.?
  9. [quote name='Daz39' timestamp='1485594285' post='3225113'] Nice! What's the bar behind the bridge pickup, a midi thingy? [/quote]It looks to me something to do with a Midi pickup. I could be wrong. Is it magnetic? Those Bassline soaps are amazing pickups.
  10. Just love this, and a lot of stuff from Daryl's house. Ive always been a huge lover of Hall and Oats. but love this live version of this classic. Chromeo's TalkBox/keys/vocals are excellent and really give a great sound to the record. Super tight band as always at Daryls house. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOE1-2Fza5Q[/media]
  11. The best reviews should cover most styles/techniques.Like most I'm after how the bass performs. Not how there ego performs. But there needs to be a capable bass player playing. As usual with most things. Balance is everything. I've seen some amazing slap bass. But it's just slap, we don't all slap so it's not a bass review.
  12. Pino Palladino easily imo. Could probably outplay most without breaking a sweat.
  13. Ive seen Fender Classic 70's MIM's go for £400. New at £750 online. Ive been offered £800 for the Maruszczyk. The Maruszczyk is £1250 new now with this spec. There is imo a big difference in price I won't let my amp go for sentimental reasons. Plus its needs some electrical attention.
  14. I can't hide from my financial situation, so i need to sell some gear. Ive sold my Cab, now it might be time to sell my bass. I'm looking for a great cheap Jazz Bass. I was looking for a TRB6 but I'm in the realm's of £400-500. Im thinking about the MIM 70s classic jazz. Does anyone own one.? It may be the case that i don't need to sell my Maruszczyk, but who knows. I am prepared for it as like someone said its only stuff. I have heard though that these Fender's are killer, and they have the 70's position pups. I don't mind going for a Squire but I'm not sure they do a 70's RI with that 70's pickup spacing.
  15. No idea but that is very nice. Jabba,s are pretty amazing sounding. YouTube Marcus Miller playing one.
  16. Out walking the dogs this morning with this cracking album on the i pod. The album is called Conspiracy. I went to see them in London supporting Jamiroquai. Fantastic band. Blew JK away imo. The bass player was incredibly funky [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iffj2J04C18[/media]
  17. [quote name='GreeneKing' timestamp='1485333989' post='3223117'] I've owned many Yamaha TRB's. My 2nd bass was a Mk1 4 string and I've owned TRB4/5/6P's, Mk1's and Mk2's. I'd say that they rate well against the later models and I prefer the 34" scale of the Mk1 too. If you find a good one I'd say buy it. An itch left unscratched..... [/quote]I owned the 5 string version of the bass above but it had soap bars. I just wondered how the Jazz pickups faired.?

  19. [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1485304362' post='3223044'] I'm not sure I'd class Floyd as being classic, I put them under prog, which I do like a lot. [/quote]I know what you mean and i will let you off saying you wouldn't call Pink Floyd classic. They are a class act, its very special music but maybe not rock. Although there are some tracks that i might class as rock in the Pink Floyd catalogue.
  20. [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1485303838' post='3223040'] Bat out of hell is a particular one that gets me shouting at the radio if it comes on. Though I dislike pretty much anything that comes under the banner of 'classic rock'. [/quote]What like Led Zepplin and Pink Floyd.? Of course its not obligatory
  21. Hey everyone.!!.. My name is Louis Walsh. Im a cock end.
  22. Do i want to hear about the love these guys have for a girl, walking along a beach bare feet with a random couple of horses… No i really don't. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NrQei36fJk[/media]
  23. Why.? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hy8kmNEo1i8
