Wha a cracker of a bass part this was.he even played some double stops

I care not for his later life. This is just fantastic. He was 13 when he sang this. It is probably one of the greatest vocal performances ive ever heard.

We are giving Dan money to keep his Shuker. That was my idea. It will always belong to him. He has given alot to BC/YT with his contributions Mick. I could have singled out anyone. But Dan has imo contributed the most. (imo) I always watch his channel. There may be others that are struggling but I saw it on FB..

I can chip in £30. times that by 100 ish. The Dood keeps his Shuker. And a few quid for a Greggs.. When my mortgage triples I will expect the same when I want to keep my Sire btw.😆 Thats £2 each so start saving.

Any chance BC mods can step in here and set something up.?????

For sure they are, When im mortgage free in a year a Lakland 5594 or another Suhr is a must. But I think the tools are getting better and better for a cheaper price.

From a shop in Kidderminster. A lovely chap on BC gave me the heads up. Not a mark on it.fairly light for a V7. 9.3 pounds on my digital scales. It was set up badly and i was using the wrong allen key.thus my previous post. .fresh set of DR Low Riders. Monstrous tones. It makes me wonder why i spent thousands on very expensive basses in the past. £240 for this quality of bass, that preamp and those pickups that sound this good. Really.???!!!

.

Im all sorted thanks Mick and you all.

Allen key. Its on a Sire V7

Any ideas..?

If i see another ( how to play fretless video) ive never understood why bass players have to do endless vibrato on a fretless. It has a certain sound but for gods sake stop . George Duke with Chris Mcbride.

Too many factors to quanitfy. Yes body wood makes a small difference. But neck wood more so. Just my op. Hes well know for saying the neck wood/construction makes a bigger difference than body wood.. graphite rods in the necks makes a big difference. Its a sum of the parts. The thing is with this discussion is there are so many factors that go into making an electric bass that make a difference in tone. But neck costruction is the longest part of the instrument that the instruments strings has to vibrate against. If its a lacquered necked jazz bass which are usually maple it will sound brighter. Its because the neck cant absorb the vibration like a rosewood necked bass can.

I dont need your blessing for anything mate. Im not arguing, im just saying that the whole neck has a factor in the sound that comes from the strings. "Sadowsky should show his working or get the fxxk out"? really????? no idea what your talking about.. You wanna go and ask the greatest ever builder of electric bass what he thinks.. Roger Sadowsky is easy to contact on FB. Fill your boots pal..

a thin strip of wood is a stretch. its the longest part of the body of an electric bass the strings have contact with. I will go with what Roger Sadowsky thinks.

Ive played a couple, didn't like them. For me personally there were a bummer to set up. Very uncomfortable. Didnt like the sound of them. And I dont like the look of them. But who am I. Doesn't mean anything to what I think.. The music that was played on them is unforgettable!.

oh I thought you meant someone who builds proper basses. sorry ez. 😆

Who.?

A stinging song about John Lennon, delivered in such a cool, breezy groove that most people don't even hear the rebuke in the lyrics.

Can you enlighten me.?

I bet one thing. Alot of maple necks are lacquered so thus giving a brighter imo harsher sound.. no bass maker ever lacquers a rosewood fretboard. As always with these discussions it comes down to a sum of the parts. Put a lacquered passive necked jazz bass vs a Rosewood jazz bass. You could tell the difference slightly. You put active an preamp in the mix and start fiddlydidling. No chance. Personally i couldnt give a monkeys ball bag.im more interested in the music. They both sound great.
