I really want to dabble into sixes again, and when I do this is the bass I'll go for. Well not visog's actual bass of course, but this model!

I wonder who has my fretless 6 now. That was an awesome bass. My daughter liked it too!

Some amazing basses in this thread, but as an aside look at AC's wrist position in this!!! 😱

Probably just part of a different batch. I've had the same with LaBella nylons.

Well that is rather nice.

Mainly fingers. Pick when it suits the song, and when it is, after much trying of different sizes and thicknesses, I use these:

Another vote for the La Bella white nylons, but won't be that loud. Roundwounds are a much better bet than any flat if you need unplugged volume.

It depends. In an originals band I would say if someone isn't available then the band forgo the gig and look for another date, but when I played in a busy function band for a few years everyone had at least one regular dep. If someone's booked a holiday and a gig is offered on that date I don't think anyone would expect them to cancel their plans to play a gig, would they? What really gets me is when someone pulls out of a booking at the last minute to play another, better paid, gig.

My Franz Sirius has a Delano Xtender in just about the perfect position for me: far back enough that it can give a nice bark if you want, but also plenty warm enough for mwah. The three-way switching and passive volume/tone setup mean you have a load of different tones beneath your fingers.

I'd agree with this. People rarely drive their amps that hard, but it's quite a difference in power handling so you could do some harm.

It's about 30 mins from me. Happy to help!

Ah but can you play Dean Town on it? (edit: A quick Google reveals that yes, you can!)

I use a Boss MS-3 and love it.

Oh I'm sorry about that. Must have changed policy in the time since I last bought from them.

Bright Onions are excellent and will make you whatever you want. Just ask them to make you one without the loop and buffer and they will!
