I think for me it's a bass that costs more than it's worth to me in practical terms. I'm not a fancy player, and I like good, solid, un-showy workman-like tools (not just in the bass sphere, in life generally). I don't have a lot of disposable income so I tend to choose my purchases carefully. My main basses are both Fender Player P's, and I think they're a lot of bass for the money. Therefore, I'd say that an American Original P would be what I'd say was expensive, as, nice as they are, they wouldn't offer a significant improvement in my hands, however much I might like one.

Very sorry to hear that your father's not well, sir. A lovely gesture.

Does it make a Bass IV good for metal?

This is genius; soulful, beautiful, funny and sad.

Mate, that's fantastic! Really good news to hear of a dedicated live music venue getting going.

Agreed 100% - when I watch a gear demo I want to hear what the instrument/pedal/amp does and sounds like, not how fast and pointlessly the reviewer can play. A word which is sadly underused in this day and age.

That looks very cool, Stub. I like.

Oh, helllooo! That's very nice indeed.

I think we've probably exhausted that seam now, yes!

Hi there, and welcome to the nicest, most inclusive forum I've ever been part of.

Fender, you shameless bastards people.

Red Fang tune in standard, I believe (and maybe Green Lung as well).

@Greg Edwards69; Best of, old chap - look after yourself and focus on a smooth recovery. I'll look forward to your first post-treatment gig report.

I like him. The character is harmless, and behind it there's a quietly self-deprecating man with a sense of humour and humility.

It's always "someone"!

NMA have had some great bass players; Morrow, Moose Harris and Nelson being my favourites. Such a great band - pretty much all of their records are excellent, as well as under-rated.

It's how you find out who your mates are.

But you're the guy with a metre and a half of wood in your hand - they'd have to be mental to take you on!
