    Like a few others here I'd be all over a Sire if that headstock didn't haunt my nightmares. Shallow but eh

    I've got just the one... a P bass. Covers all I need it to! Starting to want a Stingray though, and I do have a strict one-in-one-out policy. I don't play or gig enough to warrant more than a bass or two. And my flat isn't huge.

    BUMP and final price drop to [b]£300[/b]. Collection from [b]Brighton[/b]. Offering it at a low price because I'd like collection only.

    BUMP. Still available! Collection from Brighton.

    Hi all, I've been umming and ahing a while about whether I should get rid of this bass. I've had it for around 8 years and it's a real looker! Sounds great, it's easy to play (though I believe the neck is a little chunkier than a standard Jazz). It's out the door because I'm about to move house and my P bass is top of the pecking order these days. It's a Fender 70s Classic Jazz (MIM) in black with rosewood fingerboard, mother of pearl inlays, and I've customised it with a Gotoh 201 bridge and black pickguard (happy to include the original white one too). Slight nick on the back of the horn (see penultimate image) but no major damage/defects. It's been gigged and recorded with several times and has never let me down. The bass hasn't been played much in the last couple of years, so it could do with a setup and the action lowered. I'm looking for[b] £300[/b] and collection in Brighton. Of course, I welcome anyone to come and have a play. Happy to throw in a decent Tiger bass case with plenty of storage space. Any questions, let me know!

    I've started doing backing vocals in my new band. I'm pretty sure I'm terrible but no-one has the heart to tell me so! We do a cover of Bad Religion's Can't Stop It and I struggle getting the descending staccato bassline right when I'm holding a long vocal melody.

    Bumped into Mr Ellefson on the way into the venue - I only went on the Sunday. We got chatting about 'Bad Omen' from Peace Sells... and the bitch of a bassline it is, and string-skipping being easier with fingers... Not much was said really, but he's a really cool and friendly chap who seems happy to chat to fans. Day made, anyway!

    +1 for the Korg Pitchblack. Hasn't let me down live (or in the bedroom! ).

    Don't love them enough to pay £34+ for a ticket. And I live a short walk away from Brixton academy!

    Everything I write seems to be in 6/8, so I'll go for that.

    Does sound like rounds on the jazz to me. According to that reddit post, he uses flats on his MM-pickup bass - seen here? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DRCGcuByQc

    About two pints (Northern, not London, prices).

    Going to Copenhagen to see Mew (and the city, bien sûr!) in February. They're playing with the Copenhagen Philharmonic Orchestra so I'm expecting something pretty special.

    Moth Into Flame is a decent track but Hardwired... was a steaming pile. Hoping for more like the former and it could be a decent album. EDIT: Agreed that Rob's bass is sounding great.

    First impressions of the album: Few decent pop songs on it, but a the rest is a little dull and lacks energy, for me. Best tracks: The Getaway, Dark Necessities, Sick Love (feat. Elton John, don't ya know, which is why it sounds like Bennie and the Jets), Go Robot.

    [b]Mic Todd[/b] (Ex Coheed & Cambria) - Mega talented and knows how/when to play the right thing [b]Andy Rourke [/b](The Smiths) - Need I say more? [b]Nate Mendel [/b](Foo Fighters) - Often overlooked. Not too flashy, but tasteful with the odd nice fill. [b]David Ginyard[/b] (Blood Orange, Chairlift) - Pure groove player [b]Stu Zender [/b](Jamiroquai) - Talented groove player

    I've got Yeasayer next Friday, then Vulfpeck in September.

    I'll have a listen! I love that sort of stuff and have been wanting to join/start a band in the style of Propagandhi/A Wilhelm Scream for quite a while - though it's hard just to meet like-minded folk, never mind jam with them and go from there... So, nice work and mega bass chops. Very Brian Robinson and a tone to boot! Intro to 'Sunderland' reminds me of 'Things I Like' by Propagandhi: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6r9_sDC0fI[/media]
