Okay - have some Chromes on my fretless atm. I like the feel, I like the sound (after a couple weeks) but I definitely do not like the tension. Anything out there like Chromes but with lower tension? Ta!

G&L - the improved Stingray.

Climb staircase. Throw bass down stairs. Repeat.

Flea Bass (Modulus) ? When it had the Lane Poor pickup.

I had a K5 too, pretty versatile bass IMO/IME.

[quote name='marcus bell' timestamp='1375058044' post='2156309'] Mark king plays an off the shelf status Kingbass paramatrix, and the jaydee was a standard supernatural series 1 However the alembic he used wasn't like the signature at all! He played a fully loaded series 2 [/quote] Off the shelf Status?

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1375032416' post='2155970'] First call on my shopping trip yesterday was Chandlers in Kew. First I tried a G&L ASAT skinny-string. The intonation was off so it wouldn't play in tune. Then I checked out a fretless P/J hybrid - completely awful to play. Both these instruments had 4-figure price tags! The shop could and should have sorted these issues before putting them out for sale. I was last in there about 2 years ago, when I tried 2 electro acoustics and both had issues. As I handed the fretless back to a shop operative yesterday he asked how I'd got on. 'It's a dog' I said and walked out. I won't be going back. [/quote] How are they supposed to improve then if their customers won't say what the problem is and just walk out?

Tool?

[quote name='alstocko' timestamp='1374828325' post='2153635'] Alright guys, I didn't say that I agree with the list, I just put it up for a bit of fun. The way that people react to stuff like this is driving me further and further away from BC [/quote] Go back to Talkbass you sissy.

I could buy an Encore bass for £10 million and make it the most expensive bass ever... pointless list.

Headphones?

Peavey now own TE so just buy that micro head Peavey have bought out. *ducks*

Tobin E from Papa Roach.

Because not every venue has decent monitors and not all of us can afford IEM.

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1372673219' post='2128281'] To be fair, I don't think we can criticise a band that has been going for this long, providing many generations with a 'rock n roll dream'. I don't really listen to the Stones much, but I have a lot of time and respect for them. Ageing rockers? Oh yes, but anyone critising needs to assess what they will be doing at 69/70. Most likely, sat at home commenting on other bands and playing in local bars, (that's if you are lucky!). There will be a time in 10-15 years when the legends won't exist anymore. We won't have big classic bands anymore, just thousands of small NME bands who capture audiences for one album then disappear. That's happened in my lifetime, and I'm only 32. The only 'big' bands who might be going are bands such as REM, Coldplay, Muse, and big pop acts. I'd hesitate to add Kings of Leon into that list as they don't qualify. They were pretty damn brilliant at first but I don't think they will reach that stage. Good on the Stones for still being alive, still rocking out, and still captivating a huge audience. I hope I can be as lucky when I'm their age. [/quote] To be fair, a lot of those bands split up when big but I'm pretty sure if they kept on then they would still be playing to huge amounts of people.

[quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1372771709' post='2129709'] I saw them a couple of times. Most memorable gig was them supporting Godflesh at the General Wolfe. [/quote] Sad to say it has closed down now.

Dylan?

Loads of good stuff out already: Biffy Clyro - Opposites Pure Love - Anthems Dillinger Escape Plan - One Of Us Is The Killer Queens Of The Stone Age - ...Like Clockwork Daft Punk - Random Access Memories Was looking forward to 30 Seconds To Mars new album but that was a bit hit and miss for me.

BC in someone is doing better than me and I'm not jealous shocker.

Now sorted - problem was solved by lowering the string wrap around the capstan.

Would be surprised if that was the case - I've had a set of TI rounds on this thing before and the A string is .76 (?) and had no issues then.

Just put a new set of strings on my Jazz and have gone down from a 45-105 to a 40-100 gauge. Everything is fine except the A string sounds dead played open - fretted it sounds fine. Gave the nut a quick clean but that changed nothing... how do I stop it sounding dead?! Many thanks.
