Low End Bee

I'm quite keen on one of these. Especially the earlier single pickup model. If anyboby wants to move one on let me know.

I read the OP as a harmless bit of fishing of the sort I used to do all the time on football boards. If I had roadies and stuff I'd be standing in front of a row of big black fridges for sure.

I'm not even going to gig now. I'm just going to implant subliminal memories in my virtual audience of me having played a blinder of a show with impeccable tone. I don't need any gear anymore. Just mind control.

Stick a Sansamp through the PA. Amps are so 20th century.

I can easily beat an all valve head by pouring a pint of Guinness in the vents. Ka boom. Obviously the 'Ka boom' has superior tone to a transistor explosion though.

The older I get the more I'm convinced that 'tone' is 90% smoke and mirrors anyway. The audience don't give a monkeys what you use. Nice fishing thread though.

Well rehearsed and tight as a gnat's chuff.

Keep the 72. I can't pronounce the other one and the Weekes bloke has probably played Layla and loads of other old tosh on it and therefore ruined it's 'vibe'.

The ones they use at Survival Studios in Park Royal.* Made of box section steel I think. If any who goes there can identify these for you they're your boys. Built to withstand nuclear war. *Survival Studios 020 8961 1977

I use mine a lot. If I can't get the sound right for a venue I just stick the signal through the Sansamp. I like a chunky overdriven sound and it nails it.

Looks like a real one to me. The serial no. denotes a US one. The pictures don't really help a lot though. You'd have to decide if it's good value?

The Charlatans new single 'Love is Ending'. About 8 different songs thrown together in one but it works for me.

I'll have a 'Widow WMD' in pink with lots of Hello Kitty stickers please.

I met four other complete strangers via a Partysounds ad about 4 years ago. 3 More strangers were in and out of the band at various times too. I left once for a month but the reason for that is now gone. I'm still in a band with two of them and we are now very good friends. It's been a fun rollercoaster with some nutters thrown in on the way. I'd recommend it.

3. A US Fender Precision, a Precision I assembled myself from bits and a 'Starforce' 80s thing I bought for 20 quid a few years ago that I may smash up in a video or something.

Macdaddy & wife, Thunderbird 13 and Silddx at the last gig Jack and I did.

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='936889' date='Aug 26 2010, 10:31 AM']I'm getting into the bitsa basses & I'm the other way around. If I had a Jazz I'd stick a P-bass neck on it.[/quote] Me too. Perversely My spare Precision has a maple Jazz neck though.

I've gigged both cabs playing a Precision through an Orange Terror Bass. They both sounded equally great. The TC is a little tighter sounding but there's not much in it. If cost were not an issue I would have gone with the BF for the lighter weight as I never use the tweeter on the TC's anyway.

Love mine. Runs a bit too hot for some sound people via DI though so I have a -40db inline attenuator ordered. Works really well through my TC cabs. Stupidly loud amp.

Just for me and Guzzi. Wearing Copeland's outsize shades due to hairspray in the minces accident in the dressing room.

Love the Thumper in my Precision. Nice to speak to a human involved in it's production too. Good bloke.

[quote name='Annoying Twit' post='935736' date='Aug 25 2010, 10:47 AM']Personally I'd like to hear more people saying which Sting basslines they like in particular, and why. Anyone?[/quote] The great songs have ones I don't notice and that's the point for me. They just work as part of the whole. If I really like a song I hardly ever seperate the bassline from the songs as a whole when I'm listening to it. As I've said I love the song Next To You and he's bashing away at the open E for a large part of it but it works perfectly. So I'll go for that one.
