[quote name='Highfox' timestamp='1457389233' post='2998137'] The Clash - London Calling My favorite album, been a constant play for me since it's release. I can't understand some of the comments above, there isn't a bad track on it [/quote] Agreed, I love every moment of that album from start to finish!, if anything it's Sandinista that's the dodgy one.

For me it's Stingrays. I absolutely love the sound of them when other people play them but hated my old 3 band, could not get it to cut in a live setting, was all boom and clank. Recently saw a band in Oxford where the bassist was using a SUB and it was again a bit indistinct and boomy. However, I am once again dipping my toe into Stingray infested waters! I think they're just very sensitive to EQ'ing and I think last time, I was less experienced, I just did what a lot of people do and maxed the bass and treble boosts on top of my amps EQ. Which obviously is quite extreme. I can make it work this time! Damn it! That tone is divine.

One that works, The Wall. A friggin masterpiece all the way through. One that doesn't, Stadium Arcadium, RHCP, as stated earlier, genuinely barely enough tracks to form a decent EP. Dreadful album by one of my fave bands.

I had one of the older standard Korean ones. It was a brilliant bass. Build quality and tone were superb. However, be prepared for a nice horizontal, permanent bruise across your forearm from the wing. It's why I sold mine along with the fact it nose-dived atrociously and I spent 99% of the gig holding the neck up!

[quote name='Sammers' timestamp='1457085756' post='2995091'] Here's the full list of what's been cut if it helps you out at all http://forums.ernieball.com/ernie-ball-music-man-basses/61272-discontinued-music-man-list-october-31-2015-a.html [/quote] That's great, thank you. Shame about the Sky Blue, definitely would of gone with that.

I've owned my RB streamer (one of the very first dated sept 2002) since 2005. And only tonight have I adjusted the truss rod. In all this time it's played perfectly and buzz free with the same factory setup as it came with new, which is crazy considering some of the high end stuff I've had that needed semi regular tweaks. What's caused it to be so stable?! Not that I'm complaining. Anyone else with a wooden neck bass had this level of stability?

I saw this originally but didn't believe the 6 colours are the only ones! That's quite some cull on EB's part. Many thanks DrT.

I've tried to do a little research myself but can't find a definitive list anywhere. I'm gonna pull the trigger on one (again) in a couple of months and was wondering what colours I can order one in. I know recently they cut a lot of options in terms of finish, can anyone help out? Many thanks

I always have preferred the sound of my bass through P.A speakers instead of bass amps. Full range and utterly crystal clear. That may be some bass players idea of hell though!

Wal MK1. The ultimate bass!

2 band for me, a bit chunkier and funkier. Use your amp to adjust the mids if needs be.

Oooh I haven't contributed to this! Stuart Zender Sting Bernard Edwards Kim Deal Flea Simon Gallup Bruce Foxton Krist Novoselic Louis Johnson John Taylor

Such a shame that a name that carries massive weight (pun thoroughly intended) has been left to stagnate and rot. They could still do amazing business given the right owners and direction.

[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1455717055' post='2981756'] Yes I would. There's room for all of those acts under the Hip Hop umbrella. And I didn't say it was rap. And to be honest I find your assertion that "made for radio" music is "sh*te" quite rude actually. Who put you in charge of telling people what music's crap or not? [/quote] I'm not telling you. This is my opinion. You clearly differ. No need to take it so personally.

[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1455701907' post='2981509'] No, I think he's just lost his way a bit. Dropout's an incredible album. It's essential listening for anyone that likes hip-hop. I suspect he'll take a break and then come back in a few years with a groundbreaking album. [/quote] You'd call this hip-hop? Or even rap? I'd call it neither. It's made for radio, urban sh*te with hip-hop leanings perhaps. This is a million miles away from hip-hop, such as A Tribe Called Quest or Jurassic 5.

[quote name='keefbaker' timestamp='1455532810' post='2979842'] The man is a grade-A dong in every conceivable way. Every single thing he does makes him look more and more stupid but still people buy into his crap. The human race, ladies and gentlemen, the human race. [/quote] Nailed it, my thoughts exactly.

I want another GP12 SMX at some point. Crystal clear and full of shove, fantastic bass head. As always in these threads I advise people to stay away from the pre-shapes. Some people swear by them, it just turned my tone into an indistinct, mushy, overcooked crapfest. I think this is where the perception of the tone being poor stems from. The EQ is your friend! Using that, I could get any type of bass tone I wanted.

Magnificent 7 by the Clash is Norman Watt-Roy and not Paul Simonon.

I was going to say Muse. Caveat being I don't love them, for this specific reason.

Will bought my Markbass head from me. Super smooth deal, quick to reply to comms, trustworthy and friendly with prompt payment. Deal with utter confidence. Cheers Will!

Thanks for all the suggestions chaps. Going with a TC BH550! Can't find a bad review of this thing and at £350 new, it seems rather bargainous.

Never ever used the tone control, anything which dulls the sound is not for me! On the 3 Jazzes I've owned it's acted more like an 'on/off switch' anyway, with next to no tonal variation inbetween. Were they all faulty?
