    Loverly bass. Hadn’t heard of bass bros but this got my curiosity and now I have a new source of GAS 👍

    It’s probably a good job I don’t get that response. I only get “can’t afford it” before I even mention the price.

    Bongo to try?

    Mrbigstuff replied to a topic in Bass Guitars

    Wunjo also have one apparently

    If you sell this bass then that gives you 400 bookcases and 16 years 😂 not including inflation

    These were in the Fender catalogue around 2006/7.

    Guessing you’re using the tips of you picking fingers? You just need to persevere. I used to use nickel strings which tend to be softer touch but now much prefer the harder feel of the steels

    The matching cab is a loverly touch

    £150 would buy approx 5 sets of strings. Experimenting with them would be more fun for me than a new pre amp

    Once had a new truss rod fitted on a neck thru Warwick which they did an excellent job with. They’ve also done a fret dress on a P bass that transformed the instrument. It’s worth taking back in and pointing out what you believe to be wrong to get their opinion.

    Any reason why Sire isn’t involved?

    Night train by Oscar Peterson is a great jazz record. For learning walking basslines, I usually end up transcribing a few choruses of jazz standards so I have the chords from the real book.

    Ray Brown and Ron Carter are where I’ve started. Ron’s book is very good as is Joe Hubbards.

    No!! This is absolutely gorgeous in this colour combo. If I had the money I would have bought it when it was for sale

    I initially thought sonic blue which sometimes can look turquoise.

    I like Coldplay. Are the melodies simple, yes but so what? That’s pop music and it’s easy to listen to. Also looking forward to seeing one of their shows next summer with the wife. Turn back to Absolute Radio 80s grandads 😂

    I imagine with it being Christmas that demand for couriers is high and supply is relatively lower. Maybe wait until January if you can

    My MIM precision has a B width neck which is perfect for me. It was a 60th anniversary addition so might not have been standard.

    In: Some strings Out: 2020 strings Expecting the same for 2022

    My only issue with Bass direct is that they have a constant flow of lovely instruments and if you happen to try one of those instruments and don’t go through with the sale for whatever reason, you spend a lot of time you should be practicing wishing you had bought said instrument. It’s a torturous hell.

    Great story

    I did apply to be an on hold composer for a company in Manchester. Don’t know what the requirements are because I didn’t get a response.

    Where do you find all these basses? That’s the best looking Toby Pro I’ve ever seen. Never tried one because I didn’t like the name.
  23. Mrbigstuff
    I was thinking more about off the shelf pickups.
  24. Mrbigstuff
    Obviously it’s hard to put into words and subjective, but I would define it as very warm and honky evenly across the neck. It’s a sound I’ve heard from Fender Ps and Js from the 60s and 70s period that disappeared in the 80s versions and from there on. I don’t hear the same sound from other manufacturers of that era either.
  25. Mrbigstuff
    Possibly something that has been done in a previous bass bash? I’ve yet to play a vintage fender with replacement pickups. I suspect no one would do it, but it’d be interesting to hear the same vintage Fender first with original pickups and then with repro pickups. Would its sound maintain the vintage characteristics?
