    If it was me, I’d get a limelight so I had the colour/ relicing to my taste and then swap the pickups for some Lindy Fralin (I use these in my Fender P).

    It could have been an NYC Sadowsky and I think I still would have traded it for something else. You can’t buy the time spent experimenting and experiencing what’s available.

    Your hands make up a significant part of your sound. Rather than using EQ it’s better to try different hand positions, and different pressures on the strings first. Then when you’re close to what you want to achieve, use EQ to make small tweaks.

    “ Lots of people get GAS and end up with about 200 basses, most being bought because they liked the colour that day or they had a crap day at the office and wanted something to cheer them up.” I hope to get here on day

    What happened?

    Mrbigstuff replied to a topic in Bass Guitars

    Mine was a beaut. Jim deacon jazz in dark trans blue with gold hardware. Unfortunately after 3 months I decided it was for old farts and sold it for an Epiphone Thunderbird which was horrendous to play but looked way cooler.

    That’s just Fender in general. Some come out good, some not so.

    I think as long as it looks like it should and the serial number matches online/ with the manufacturer’s records then the risk is pretty low. I think you’ll find most on here only really deal with s/h instruments. Searching the basschat feedback is also a good idea before making a purchase.

    For me it adds warmth and clarity to the note. Higher string gauges and tension also help with this. Although I already played with a higher action it was interesting viewing Janek’s blog when he decided to try increasing the height from a low to a very high action.

    We need a sick face reaction adding “🤮”

    I prefer a medium/ high action. I just can’t stand fret buzz and I think you have more control of note length with a higher action. Speed then comes with practice and technique. Plus it’d be nonsensical to have a p bass with flats and the clackerty timbres of low action.

    Looks like they sit in the middle of Sire and Moollon price wise. Shame they’re not doing 5’s yet.

    Spending excessive amount of time and money worrying about gear…. Oh wait
  14. Mrbigstuff
    Tell them to stick to guitar. Failing that, Sires have everything you need in a bass.

    Yeh but the genre it was in has been renamed - still the same genre. In fairness, I hate the idea of categorising music. Different songs often take inspiration from lots of sources. Few bands write similar songs over and over - AC/DC exempt.

    It’s classic rock, with emphasis on classic 😉

    Mine looked great, trans teal body and maple neck. But it had a weak G, not enough warmth and the neck was chunky. Good bass but not for me.
  18. Mrbigstuff
    Not sure whether to be impressed or concerned. Probably both 😜

    Anyone tried these? Sound great in the demo and €700 on Italian sites. It’ll be interesting to try them back to back with Sire.
  20. Mrbigstuff
    No offence @Higgie but I’d rather watch the dancers than you 😜
  21. Mrbigstuff
    Sounds great and must be great fun being involved in such a large production. Just in time for normality too.

    I know it’s been said many times before, but his time is exceptional.

    I do like the idea of a hollow body with figured top but I think I would commission an Overwater like this one.

    I remember Janek Gwizdala saying in a vlog he could only afford to live in Boston and New York by maxing out credit cards. Then there was the financial crash and I think the debt was written off. By that point he hade made his name and was on tours.
