  1. Top advert! This is how all gear should be sold!! If I didn't have one already I'd.... blah, blah, blah
  2. Some interesting definitions of "well-known" in this thread! Well-known by bassists, or well-known in a wider sense? And I'm not sure I've ever met anyone who hears "What is Hip?" and thinks "well, that one is pretty straightforward and shouldn't give me too many problems - I'll just busk it".
  3. How much a a difference in position is it? How about a compromise - place the pickup in between the 60s and 70s positions? It could unleash a whole new world of tone... or leave you wondering if it actually makes much difference at all!
  4. This form of "communication" seems to be very common these days... (says he writing a comment on an online forum... )
  5. Carol Kaye is certainly credited on the Pet Sounds sleeve notes. And Jamerson's tone would be "darker" I suppose...

  7. Adam bought my Westone Thunder 1. That's about it really, a perfectly simple deal that was a pleasure from start to finish. Excellent, friendly communications throughout. Enjoy the bass Adam! Highly recommended
  8. The flowery P bass? I had a bit of an eye on that one myself! I'm local if the others can't help you
  9. Indeed! Sold pending the usual
  10. Conan

    Speed!

    The only people who will notice the difference will be other bass players who are also Queen fans. Being honest, how many of them are likely to be in your audience?
  11. Six pounds twelve!? Wow! All the usual posters who ask for weights and then say "too heavy for me" should be all over this one...
  12. No interest in this cracker of a bass at a bargain price? Surprising... Oh well, bump for the weekend
  13. Eeeeek! YOB bass... favourite colour/plate combo.... look away now!! Lovely
  14. Conan

    Speed!

    That's a lovely bass part, but you're right, there's a lot more to it than it seems... Played that one a few years ago and really enjoyed the challenge of learning it properly. Then I listened to a few live versions and realised that even the great Neil Murray seemed to play it differently every time!

    Speed!

    Is it a cover or an original? If it's a cover, would the general audience member really notice of you simplified it slightly?
  16. That's my tone baby!
  17. It is a smart piece of kit indeed! Just wish the purchase of one would make me as creative a player as Robert DeLeo...
  18. Hmmmmm....
  19. Maybe they are better instruments? Not sure about the 50s Classics, but the Roadworns retail at well over a grand now...
  20. Unintended irony?
  21. True
  22. OK. I think the time has come for me to step away from this thread...
  23. Until recently, I would have seen this as trolling another BF thread. But then the handle on my Compact started to deteriorate...
