OK... if it is porn you want, porn you shall have. '72 Les Paul Bass. Plays like an absolute dream, id always wanted an EB3 but the shop I went in had an EB3 and the LP in at the same time. I walked out with the LP as I fell in love with the look of it, and it has so many more tones possible than the EB. The last couple are piccies of my good self using the weapon in action.

If you can pick up a Musicmaster secondhand they are great for practices. Light but sounds very nice through a big rig (should your practice place be equipped with one)

If anyone wants a very nice '73 in SB with black scratchplate there is one in Cookes Music in Norwich. Very pleasant and distinctly non heavy, only a teensy bit more heavy than my 2009. I played a 76' down Denmark Street somewhere recently and that was similar to having the USS Nimitz strapped round my neck.

Precision for me. Gets pretty much any tone you want from phat to clank with one volume and a tone knob.

Knights Of Cydonia (as was tabbing it out for someone else). Good fun to play indeed

no-one has mentioned the new Zender Sig model? That looks v sexy IMO, but the price is a little daft for a 4 string bass. Promised myself a Warwick when I reach 40, so only 10 yrs to go! haha!

[quote name='leschirons' post='717246' date='Jan 18 2010, 10:18 PM']Great playing, but considering his stage attire and presence AND that bass, I find myself strangely sidetracked by the guy in the nappie.[/quote] +1 to the nappy guy.

Cliff Burton's fuzzwah neo-classical stuff for me

The new MIA Standard 4's are amazing. Great build quality and loads of improvements on the last lot (IMO) - the sound of mine has "changed the whole band sound" according to much of the audience! You wont go wrong with one... highly recommend

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='700219' date='Jan 4 2010, 08:53 AM']Like this April 1979 example? Thinking of moving this on if anybody interested...[/quote] Thats an absolute beauty. I think my horn for them is due to a certain Mr C Burton. Would absolutely love it but given I already have one (albeit in the wrong colour) and spent out on a new P-Bass 2 months ago I cannot afford (or justify!) another bass

For me it has to be the old fireglo 4001's, or the classic sunburst & tort PG P bass.

That sound is real nice with the acoustic bass for that album, it complements the sound so well - helps that he plays quite tasteful and melodic lines along with Sean (who is a massively underrated drummer imo)

Particularly on "Nutshell".

how does he get that extremely sweet sound? Its a really lovely bass sound that suits the Unplugged set perfectly.

the SVT610HLF is the best cab ive ever - EVER - owned. Awesomely phat sound, it has wheels and skid rails and a bar on the top so its relatively easy to move around. I think they can chuck out 1200w peak if you really need it! You wont be disappointed with one of those bad boys.

sh1t the bed... thats a stunning bass Beeds.... glad you have found "the one" mate! Truly lovely thing. Id also like to second your experience with V&R. I found them to be very good when I bought my Les Paul bass, including after sales support when there was a little issue with the bridge that needed sorting. well done pal!
