im not knocking Wal basses but when i played one a few years ago, the tone was a very uninspiring thud. it was beautifully made but apart from that i really couldnt see the appeal from the tone. but the feel of the bass was amazing

They are killer basses, the necks are really nice. very versatile. good buy.

I was listening to some Steely Dan yesterday, there is so much material that is not so popular but. they really are one of those bands that always have some hidden magic. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43YQXrkdpzU[/media] profound music that really stays with you. there is no way i cant tap my foot to this SD funk. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpwVFuWTeFQ[/media] there are so many more. i will never tire of these guys.

the trouble with old strings is you cant brighten the tone to you requirements, but you can take out the highs with new strings.

My sister played David Bowie earlier, it was Lets Dance, she thinks that is the coolest record shes ever heard. we often get into discussions about music, this is possibly the coolest record ive ever heard, and for the record, i would so smoke you on the bass bitch.

i would never be without my jazz bass but i do love the thump of a good P bass. with some DR's the P bass can have some awsome tone

its one of my favorite countries when they do there jazz and funk.. this band is possibly the best.. new stuff but there older albums are epic. ive seen these guys live and they are some seriously good musicians..its all about the vocal harmonies. dont have a pigging clue what there singing about but i dont care [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpMz8ZajXuY[/media]

no doubt that guy was a very gifted musician. did he play music that i wanted to listen to, no (but some stuff was fantastic), was he commercially succesfull, erm not really., dont get me wrong i love some of WR's music and alot of Jony M's music but for me James Jamerson was a much better bass player, but thats just my taste.. James Jamersons bass lines talked to the common man and he did it so beautifully. he was a real genius imo. of course this is just musical taste

i thought he was a teenager up until now. happy birthday you young snapper. age is only skin deep dude

i have to add, i want a sr5 neck, but adjustable string spacing.

[quote name='Gunsfreddy2003' timestamp='1373715547' post='2140879'] Yep no worries - hoping to get it in the next month. New one is a Rumour though and not a Spitfire which is more like a jazz and the one that they had in Aroundabout Sound. [/quote]im there Mark. give me your number dude, ill call you in the week and pester you to come and try your basses. if your lucky i will bring round my Jazz.

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1373717431' p.ost='2140918'] What's wrong with your current bass? What is your playing situation? Why would a custom bass be better than what you already have? I wouldn't buy an expensive bass just because I came into some money! [/quote]There is not alot wrong wrong with my Jazz bass, i really enjoy playing it. but i would like a 5 string, a nice bit of money doesnt come by very often, and as im a bass player i have GAS. a custom bass would bring me back to the feeling of my old Sei that i bought from the lovely Molan. i will have alot of it saved, i work really hard and am skint alot of the time, and i deserve to treat myself.. in these times its really important to make the most of them IMO.

got to love this band. tight as a very tight nut. amazing bass playing [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nI-XWEXEWVk&list=FLzVUqeF1SLjxa78y2gd03dQ"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nI-XWEXEWVk&list=FLzVUqeF1SLjxa78y2gd03dQ[/url]

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1373714158' post='2140854'] The reason why I remember your previous posts is because they always seemed very thoughtful and reflective. If you started a topic then I would inevitably read it because I knew it would contain some interesting observation or point of view. Your taste in music is excellent and you've posted videos of many artists I'd never heard of I thank you for that. I'd always assumed you were one of the cool guys on Basschat. I can only assume I got you on a bad day. No offence intended. [/quote]thankyou for the compliments my friend, and yes you did catch me on a bad day, im sorry for my obtuse words.

[quote name='Gunsfreddy2003' timestamp='1373713940' post='2140850'] Go GB Andy you know it makes sense!! More than happy for you to come over when I get my new one for a noodle! You can also try the old jazz and and Stingray that I have as you may opt for a 60's vintage jazz which would take care of your budget nicely!! [/quote]would love to come over and have a play Mark.. let me know when your free. i remember that GB from Aroundabout sound and it was very hifi.beautiful instrument though.

im very happy with my Aguilar amp and cab. got to be honest its the only amp set ive ever had, so not a huge amount of knowledge when it comes to amplification.

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1373710409' post='2140787'] Ha ha. I think you should go back and read all the stuff you've written in the past about why, although you've owned them in the past, you now realise expensive boutique basses aren't really worth the money. I think you should do something sensible with the money like buy a secondhand porche [url="http://www.autotrader.co.uk/search/used/cars/porsche/boxster"]http://www.autotrade...porsche/boxster[/url] [/quote]he he .yeah ive posted some sh*t, i wanted a bit ofbass forum opinions, not some dick reminding me of something i posted when i was pissed. your a real nerd if you can remember my old posts.

My family is selling some land that is worth a huge amount of money. so being left some, prob coming up to christmas time.. so what did i think.. well GAS overtook me.. ive not bought an expensive bass guitar for years.. i prob have 4 grand to spend... im very curious about certain basses.. Xotic 5 string jazz basses. or im thinking about F Bass... or what i really would like is Martin Peterson to build me a Sei Jazz 5.. i owned a Sei 5 string jazz and it was amazing, but the thing is i live so far away from London. has anyone had a Sei bass built for them.?

a simple funk bass line. Average White Band Pick up the Pieces.
