Oh, I dunno. 8-10 years maybe. I don't gig so maybe that makes a difference, but to be honest I can live with old strings for the most part. If you get your bass out every day for a bit they are fine, but if you go a few weeks without playing they feel a bit naff until played in again.

I didn't vote as I sold my S2 classic last year. I could totally see myself getting one again someday though (prob headless S2 again - must have LEDs!). Every time I listen to an old recording of mine I just love the status active sound, I really miss that.

I was going to suggest SIMS (expensive though) but I see that you are sorted anyway. I'm looking for a replacement Jazz V body myself. My current one is too new and shiny and new so I'm feeling way to precious about it!

[quote name='silddx' post='878470' date='Jun 26 2010, 10:29 PM']That was a great band, I was particularly impressed with the guitarist, great tone and feel.[/quote] +1 here also. Really enjoyed JBs set and the guitarist played some lovely stuff.

I have a Sammy Hagar solo album on vinyl. Sammy palys all the guitars and Eddie van Halen does all the bass! I honestly can't recall what the bass playing sounds like now as I haven't had a turntable rigged up for over a decade now ....

I think that bassists need to get off their pedestal and also knock the guitard chip off their shoulder.

I love Garageband. Ridiculously easy and very good indeed for free!

Greetings. Nice memory of your early days there!

Oh surprise, another bash the guitarists thread. Such insecurity here. I go to loads of different instrument forums, and bass players are the ONLY ones with a permanent chip on their shoulder. So, I'm a guitarist who also plays other instruments. I've been told that I play bass like a bassist and that's good enough for me. I'm outta here ....

The association with a specific artist generally puts me off with any instrument. However, if it's a good spec I can live with it (eg my Reggie Hamilton bass)

I don't have time to check out the music right now, but I have to say that I laughed at the name dwarf ladder! Something there tickled me!

I thought it was great! Personally I can't stand wussy pop fodder, I much prefer this sort of 'technical' outing. Drums were fine to me, I think that you need quite a lot going on percussion-wise with just bass, keys and no singer. PSP - what a totally misguided name!!!!!!! What were they thinking. Like anyone looking that up on the net is going to find them. Some people just don't get how to use the internet, you want an exclusive name that GUARANTEES hits in my opinion.

Oh dear. I'm a minority but I say the sunburst.

I switched on and someone was trying to argue that Slash was the best guitarist. I switched off again.
