No thread is complete without a Korean cross dresser playing surprisingly good bass.

Look! A Dwarf with a violin.

Having re-read the above I am prepared to accept that it is probably just me..

Why do I find them so awful to listen too? Ok for heavy overdriven sounds perhaps, but no better than single coils. The tone they produce is muffled and indistinct. All low fidelity middle with woolly bass. For lead work they sound ok too, but for rhythm they just sound like a vacuum cleaner. I don't get it. I read about the humbucker tone, the apparent 'creamyness', and the harmonic richness. But I just don't hear it. In fact it makes me cross when I hear them. Why use humbuckers on a guitar when single coils sound so much better. I realise this could be a personal taste thing, I am no guitar player myself, but I must be missing something, Or perhaps the guitarists in my band need to alter their eq?

Great price that is..

Volume.

Pickup select toggle.

Tone.

Jack Socket.

Ok..

Personally, I prefer the Bass Maniac to all the basses which I have ever owned. That includes Fender, Status and Sandberg.

These are monstrously good.

The Bass Collection basses are based on these, but the Tunes are regarded as superior.

If you are undecided then check out the love for these basses on the interweb, however there is not load of info out there as they predated the net when new.

I would buy this bass myself if I had the funds. But Christmas is here.

Yes. It sold. Sorry.

Why would they make a bass like that? it needs big black spots to make it more ladybird like.

Goatwhore are one of my favourite bands. Zack Simmons is an drumming octopus.

I am fairly musical, I can recognise a duff note when I hear one. I have a voice, I can speak, so why can't I sing? I can hold a tune in my head and my head can talk to my mouth, but what comes out is awful. Why does my voice not listen to what it is told to do? I am not tone deaf either.

Is it his mane bass?

Now known as Titania accounta.

Because it has light up eyes. And comes with a bag of cotton wool to turn it into Santa.

Oh I see. I remember now.

Right. I think that I am sorted now. I gonna get myself to screwfix. Thanks everyone.

What did Darkthrone do? Was it Fenriz's 'inner circle' shenanigans? I bet it was Fenriz....

Shaking Stevens's Bass.

If you choose the Danish oil approach that is.

You must not skimp on the sanding down. There is no short cut. Use super duper fine wire wool, then use a new bit of wool of the same grade to apply the first coat of Danish oil. The oil and the wood dust form a paste which fills the microscopic grain. Then apply the second coat with a clean lint free cloth.

I have a 4x10 Mark Bass and I want to raise it of the floor a bit. Is there anything akin to a milk crate which I could use? Preferably something which folds up when not in use?

The Darkness in Notingham, then Slipknot in Leeds..
