such a great bass line to play. always goes down well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYKYka-PNt0

i like the slight floppiness that the Fat Beams have because of the round core., ,nice and loose and with a well set up bass you can get some great growl. but the Low Riders have a hexagonal core which makes them much tighter. a super low action you can get...but I'm definitely a Fat Beam man. imo they are in a different league to any other company, when it comes to electric bass strings.

DR Fat Beams imo are the sh*t Jose. DR's are expensive but i love them, and they last for a long long time. best electric bass string in the world imo. just put a set on a Lakland 55-02 and its great. Bass string royalty is them DR's. Low Riders are nice also. For Flats La Bella Deep Talking are really great.

always diggin there stuff. not sure how much Uriah Duffy plays on them.Killer amalgamation. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHgnuw10UuY[/media]

i used to know this guy who always listened to music really loud. i never could see or hear why.

I'm saying this from a, i have no idea perspective, but is there a reason why a P Bass sounds bad soloed,? might it be the player, or just the focus in tone of the instrument.?

I just love this band. fantastic arrangements. i would call it heavily orchestrated disco. great bass playing, great horn section. its just damn funky [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FE7iy96y5as&index=2&list=FLzVUqeF1SLjxa78y2gd03dQ[/media] they were produced by Norman Conners.. this imo is a masterpiece of a soul record.

i guess when you get famous you are susceptible to delusion. depending on your character. i don't think Beyonce is awful, by any stretch of the imagination though. she's no Anita Baker or various other soul singers. there's too much money involved that can ruin modern talent. imo. ahhhh. thats better. she makes me think. Beyonce doesn't. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hVp47f5YZg

Man this guy imo is just up there with theeee best drummers who have ever lived. Buddy Rich. a short tempered master of rhythm. his drumming is just EPIC. this vid just says it all. his timing is just perfect, his touch is just perfect.when he's slows the tempo and then speeds it up again.. his drumming is nothing short of beautiful imo.

[quote name='grumpyguts' timestamp='1423352861' post='2683946'] My teacher gave me this track to illustrate exactly the point you are making. Don't fill the gaps with unnecessary notes - just be ready for the busy bit in the middle. [/quote]hes a good teacher. i think you can apply this view of bass playing with lots of genres.

[quote name='JPJ' timestamp='1422995519' post='2679365'] I don't know the internal layout of the AG500, but its possible that the input socket is surface mounted to the preamp circuit board. Over time, the action of plugging in and unplugging leads could have caused a crack in one of the solder joints causing the scratchiness and crackling. Sounds like you need to visit your friendly local amp tech. [/quote]ok thanks JPJ. i will look into it.

adam nitti also rocks on this.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1422993270' post='2679307'] Hmm, I don't like a lacquered neck me... probably because I sweat like a sweaty thing at gigs and find that my fretting hand is seriously hampered by what quickly becomes a sticky neck - even if it's not at any other time... but my Spector Euro is a painted finish and that's fine. Otherwise it's out with the Scotchbrite pad - it will take off enough of the finish to solve the problem, but can be got back up to a shine if necessary with the minimum of fuss. [/quote]i agree i really can't play fast or comfortably with a lacquered neck and i don't even sweat a lot.. just feels like its holding me up. sorry about the sanding Jose. i like to feel the wood.

yep stupid me.. I've just tried a different lead and its the same. i should add it distorted quite badly on saturday night while playing live.
