I used to think all blues songs were the same, until I depped with a blues band... The bass has so much influence, it puts you in control especially if you're with a like-minded drummer. You can turn a plod into a shuffle at the drop of a hat.

I know, it winds them up something chronic. Love it it's almost as much fun as baiting the 'Raygestapo on the SBMM forums.

Are there any women here today?
-
Mike Stern -- either 'Tipatinas', 'Chromazone' or 'Slow Change'. Just as long as I don't have to take a solo.

I can just imagine it. A stare that said "Just try doing that again. Please." ...along with Rollins.

I had one of these for many years, alongside my Trace SMX pre-amp it gave a huuuge sound. Totally reliable. There are a few pre-amps for sale here that this would be the perfect partner for. Note for prospective buyers: the term 'heavy' is relative... only 7kg, so while it's a lump in terms of postage, it's a complete doddle to move around and positively lightweight for 800 watts. Especially when I think back to the enormous Citronic power amp I had before this... -
"I really wanted to play your guitar" (tanked up punters)

The full rule is "basses should only ever have 4 strings, apart from the ones that don't". -
I'm usually the one doing the printing off, as I work in a large office with an already colossal print/paper budget and my manager doesn't mind me using a few dozen sheets of A4 every so often.

It's generally a collaborative effort with both my bands. The vocalists have some input so we try to keep big lungbusters separate, and obvs the horns are delicate little flowers so we keep the biggest blows a} apart from each other and b} away from the very end of the set. We've given up asking the drummer for input; every time we gave him the set list to look at, it came back with drool and shreds of raw meat on it.

What are the amp models based on?
-
That would be a hanging offence.
-
True, but normal people manage to be happy without behaving like utter knobs. Hold on, this is a forum for bassists. Why am I talking about 'normal people'?
-
I will never understand why this awesome band were not total megastars.
-
If Rich was the band he had just signed with, Rich would can his arrse immediately.

Songs that start promisingly and then...oh dear

Gorgeous amp, lucky buyer. -

I'd also recommend checking out your friendly neighbourhood army surplus store. For many years I carried my various bits and pieces in an old ammunition box. Quite literally bulletproof.
-
I'm a J man too, and that's what I did for a P bass... gradually built one up from bits. It turned out pretty good too, and saw some use until the Thunder 1-A came along, which does the P-bass-on-steroids thing even better. I definitely recommend the bitsa route though. It's good fun, apart from anything else.

It's some weird boxy thing with six cheese-cutters on it. Blowed if I know.

Black Friday Deals has started. Give your heads up

Yes, I'm a very very very very lucky man. I'm with two sets of great musicians playing splendid songs and not a single ego in sight. And yes, Si was a prince. I still miss the silly sod terribly.
-
If you can find one for sensible money, Pearl OC-07.
-
Except of course when they're not, which is absolutely all time. Tort is boak. [/debate] Lovely bass btw, esp the neck.
-
I agree with TTL3... 'Newfoundfreedom' is ideal. My favourite local band names are Goldfish Don't Bounce and Gandhi's Flipflop. God only knows how much alcohol/substances was involved in coming up with those.
