    I love this sort of Yankee ignorance [url="http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/extended-range-guitars/44470-first-9-string-bass-made-uk.html"]http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/extended-...ss-made-uk.html[/url] Tossers
  2. [quote name='simon1964' post='130183' date='Jan 29 2008, 05:57 PM']Agree for the Precision. Have to disagree on the Jazz. The S1 gives the jazz a slightly fatter, rounder sound which sits really well in the mix. It gives a passive jazz some balls. Personally, if I was buying a Jazz, the question of the S1 switch would not make much difference for me. If you don't like it, you don't have to use it.[/quote] Guess which I play.?
  3. The S-1 switch is the DUMBEST thing Fender have done in the last few years.
  4. [quote name='neptunehealer' post='129216' date='Jan 28 2008, 12:34 PM']I am just interested to hear what you all prefer, as i am actively seeking a new bass at the moment and i can't decide which i prefer. This older more experienced bassist told me in a shop to purchase a thru-neck as it prevents the neck moving which made me think he had a valid point. All my favourite Jazz basses seem to be bolt-ons so i am assuming that as long as you have a hard case and take good care of the bass the neck should always be fine.[/quote] ALL necks move,be it noticeable or not. I shouldnt dramatically cost more/less to make a boltneck vs thruneck...if it does,question this..the labour time is pretty much the same.
  5. I HATE the M62....
  6. What can I say..its simple Deal with it by doing something about it. I am.
  7. yeah and if you cant be in a band you make a record label or a distro
  8. Hey...If his hero uses a pick LET HIM USE A DAMNED PICK!... I had a few lessons on 12 bar etc..and that got me started,but ideal-ly playing with friends and records were my tutors,the 1st 3 Sabbath records being the the best tutors,that and watching live vids of musicians (Jack Bruce with Cream in the Albert hall made me start to use my ring finger on the fret board...Geezer got me on the little finger..) And I still stand by that as a better way,because its in a musical situation,of learning,yet if you f*** up,you can press rewind and retry until you get it right....
  9. Typical Music Ground overcharging.
  10. [quote name='Bass_In_Yer_Face' post='127545' date='Jan 25 2008, 08:54 AM']Is just me or are there no bass heroes anymore? You know the guys who you saw on Top Of The Pops and thought “My God!...I want to look as cool at that guy” For me people like JJ Brunell, Paul Simenon, Simon Gallup, Peter Hook….all made the bass look like an offence weapon. I just don’t see anyone from contemporary bands inspiring an apathetic youth to play the bass. While I continue my rant……can anyone suggest any bands around at the moment who have inspiring bass lines as I’m struggling to find anything worth listening to in this current trend of ‘femmepop’ as my mate calls it. Emasculated rock[/quote] Come and watch me in 6 months time... SERIOUSLY. I WILL SLAUGHTER!!! \m/
  11. Email the f***tard a Bill Dickens Youtube..then if he still has the balls,tell him to come round my house.... He wont get near..the ground shakes too much.

    [quote name='dood' post='124885' date='Jan 21 2008, 06:21 PM']DBX, Trace Elliot SMX Dual Band.. um.. EBS Multicomp, but you may wanna just add a little EQ for the lower strings on the EBS.[/quote] Im looking to boost the high strings really...C string upwards The Sansamp REALLY thuds up the low notes..I just want as much in the highs.
  14. [quote name='Finbar' post='124904' date='Jan 21 2008, 06:37 PM']But the only problem I'm having is that this is going to contend heavily for time with my originals band. Both for learning material, and doing gigs. And with the best will in the world, the originals band is where my loyalty and time lies. I know if I take this up, it'll complicate things, and the other guys in the band will start splitting off into other groups too, which isn't good for us. Buh.[/quote] Sorry Fin thats somewhere between rubbish and fear.... You learn the songs once,and then mechanically replay them,it takes up NO brain power..and after being learnt....no time...and if you can read charts,then you dont even rehearse tunes sometimes,you simply play,and you can add little flushes to make a tune your own...its great for contacts,and money,and I still get a buzz when a couple have their first dance to my Bassline. You CAN make it work,and its going to be regular work that can fit around your originals band....If you nail a tune or two a day,you can have the full set by a fortnights end,in your case I reckon you'll be faster. sh*t...hang on..Ive just seen your gig list....hmmmmm...It might be a problem..are you depping or taking over? Your in Cinders fall aint you?

    Can anyone give me info on a good compressor? I reckon I need one!
  16. Still do it.... I was like you.all Originals first,you cant learn what you dont know to begin with...Coverswork will teach you that,including what to do if sh*t goes down or blows up or the Keys player has a spazz out and someone HAS to do lead vox because the singers just croaked out over the smoke machine.....I hope theres some Chic in the set,Bernard Edwards IS the man,I play metal and I still think John Taylor is Infinately better than 90% of Bassists in any genre....plus you will get to learn how to play to charts. PLUS ITS CASH!.....AND HE ASKED YOU!!!!...This guy could have asked ANYONE! Better than flipping burgers on a saturday daytime! £40+ for one evenings work PLAYING Bass???? You'd be mental not to do it...playings good,being paid to plays even better. Alex Webster,Les Claypool,Steve Digiorgio,All have or still play in covers/functions bands.
  17. One shop in Leeds price up they're stuff so when you ask for the discount..its stock price.

    [quote name='dood' post='123635' date='Jan 20 2008, 03:49 AM']The mythical note, known as the 'Pink Note' is said to be approximately 32Hz. C1 appears to be the closest you'll get to that, first fret on a standard B string. .. ... .... I know too much... lol..[/quote] Thats strange,because the acoustics of the room at the time,given that...well...to be frank...F to G sharp went down the best... Vibes wise.
  19. Obscure Leeds pub,played it MANY times,singers voice was f***ed after the previous nights gig,he dosent take care of himself,and its annoying... Flipside is WE or rather I,have ,to cover..I dont get to do lead vox much,but last night...well I did! and whilst playing my 1st full gig on the 9. hands hurt,back hurts,Im tired,and the cars full..and Ive a lot of money to put in the bank....

    Mistakes

    Latter half of "New dawn fades" by Joy Division,Hooky jumps the descending riff half a bar to early. really throws the rest of the band out for a few seconds.

    Mistakes

    [quote name='owen' post='121928' date='Jan 17 2008, 07:49 AM']Thanks, I have used that one (not being ungrateful here!), and on listening closely it sounds as if the whole rhythm section goes into the intro riff and it is Jimi that ploughs on regardless.[/quote] I have a Noel quote to say that its his fault...Mitch may have followed,but its his mistake.
  23. ARGH

    Mistakes

    "We are the roadcrew" By Motorhead... The guitarfeedback is Eddie Clark flat on his back laughing at the lyrics

    Mistakes

    Noel redding goes into the intro riff during the fade out of "Fire" by mistake Chas Chandler reckoned no-one would notice it,so it stayed.
