Surely no one is spending that much there.

It’d be interesting to find out what percentage of recordings have been made on a P bass. I guess artists, producers and bassists all recognise it as the ‘bass sound’ that’s been on millions of records since the fifties. Having said that I think it’s the ultimate gigging bass.

I should be back living in Manchester by then, what’s your band called? I played a sold out show at the Barfly in Camden in my early twenties which was really good fun but I gave up on playing long before I got to experience anywhere decent. I had previously dreamt of Hyde Park or Pyramid stage at Glastonbury, or royal Albert hall. Typical unachievable bucket list!

Come, time will.

What a beauty. If only it was a 5!

You’ve got it all wrong. P basses are very popular on BC but everyone needs one so they don’t tend to sell them. I’ve had mine since 2006!

Security questions have worked for me

Early thumbs had the thin necks, from ‘88 to early nineties I believe

A pound for pick n mix??? I’m there

Have you looked it up in your “content started”? I find that’s the easiest way to find my topics

I thought you were done with electrics? Looks like a great reason to rejoin the fold. thank you for correcting me

I think it will come under the same ruling as unexpected gifting, even though the suspect fancies their chances are high.

How else am I going to buy a Porsche?

I thought I’d be a slam dunk for bass abstinence this year. But there’s a slim chance that at the end of the year I might have some funding for something nice…..

Oh is that who they were 😅

So did Coldplay on keys a few times. I found the first half of the set incredibly rushed. It wasn’t the usual slick performance that they put out and on tour they have big name special guests so it’s disappointing they didn’t have someone for Glastonbury. Maybe theyve headlined it so many times they’ve run out of ideas….

She is not a funk artist though….. While some of her arrangements have funk influences she is very much a female solo pop artist. You would expect the same from any of her contemporaries.

At least she used a band. Ann-Marie just used backing tracks which shouldn’t be allowed at Glastonbury IMO. Dua Lipa is in the genre that expects a show, and I think she holy delivered for a long period of time. A bit like a more polished Madonna/ Kylie show.

You must have seen a different sugarbabes lineup to the “highlights” I saw on BBC. The first thing I noticed was how bad the vocals were. On one song the key was too low for the vocal line so it was sung slightly sharp!

Obviously heavily programmed but the bass sounded great too.

Have I missed something?

You have similar taste to me. The V5 is as close to traditional (vintage) Jazz sound as Ive found. Yep only heard of it as phase cancellation but if anyone else calls it insertion loss at least now I won’t run for the hills 😂

IMO the headstock is the only cool bit on a Rickenbacher.

He has a point but are they really that scarce? Andy Baxter has no problems keeping a good supply and there’s been a crazy influx of MM basses across his site and bassbros recently.

One of the good things about basschat is there are fewer timewasters than Facebook. But now that we’ve established that haggling is okay, I’ll give it a go!
