Sorry - I just don't get this. He is there to record your sound, not the sound in his head. Just tell him you can't get another bass and it's up to him to sort it out.

Brad Paisley's 'This Is Country Music' makes apt of mentioning a Fender Precision Bass. Normally his bass player uses a Crook bass though:

Give them both to me and I'll give them both a Bass Reiki session for free. This means I keep them for 12 months under controlled conditions in my bedroom. Every day I pass my energy giving hands and fingers over them, including striking, plucking and twanging the strings. In 12 months you will miss them so much you'll love them when they come back.

Lovely vignette...

The gold one is a real looker!

Fender do a PJ Special I think that has a jazz neck, P-pickup and Jazz bridge pick-up.

Keep a notebook/diary. Record anything that takes your fancy: a view, a girl, an event, an emotion...anything that just makes you sit up and notice. Then note any extreme emotions you feel and why. John Lennon's bird when he was't with YOKO said he wrote early in the morning and late at night but only when he was upset at somethings. As an example, I intermittently write poetry but only at 'big events'. Poems I have written have been about the death of two cousins trying to save themselves from drowning, the passing of a well loved old man and as surprise love affair between two friend that turned out well. Amazing what inspires when you look!

Helter Skelter is sensationally simple and powerful. Day Tripper? Soil by Wings? Live and Let Die?

Like very much.

Haarlem is only 20 minutes away by train and near the station there are two stores: Alphenaar and Music Maniacs.Music Maniacs don't have many basses though. What kind of bass do you need? I am close to Amsterdam and have a G&L Tribute L-2000 that I hardly use; you could borrow that one for a while. [/quote] Deserves a wee round of applause. Well played Sir!

Go for it man - what a buzz!
