I think it is pretty much defined by its position in music than its construction. Lemmy plays bass guitar. No-one except bassists knows the name of anyone who plays bass.[/quote]
i think non bassists would know who Paul Mccartney was. Or Sting for that matter!

When I was at college in the late 90's. There was a 73 P bass just lying around battered up with flatwound strings on that hadn't been changed in years. And it still sounded pretty mint!

i recently bought said bass off 6string bassist. The bass was as good as he said its was. Really it was a steal. Kevin was helpful and honest throughout. he even gave me a lift to and from the train station. if he sells anything else you can take him at his word. A True gent!

Thanks

[quote name='6stringbassist' post='895031' date='Jul 14 2010, 08:21 PM']They're not too noticeable, and don't affect the playabilty at all. If I keep it I'll get it sanded and epoxied.[/quote]
does it affect the tone in any way?

[quote name='6stringbassist' post='894931' date='Jul 14 2010, 06:37 PM']I'm selling a really nice CIJ Fender jazz if you're interested.

[quote name='bythesea' post='894124' date='Jul 13 2010, 08:16 PM']Does it have to be brand new? I bought a second hand (unmarked) CIJ fretless Jazz for round that figure. Wonderful bass.[/quote]

not if its in good nick and sounds good. cheers

I've got £400 to spare. (rare as rockin horse sh*t). I,ve decided to purchase a fretless if possible as i don't have one and haven't played on one for about 12 yrs. does anyone know of a half decent or better fretless bass that i can buy brand new for around £350 to £400?
thanks a lot

This is too much thought. You just play it, feel it.

pretty cool!

[quote name='igloobuilding' post='803990' date='Apr 12 2010, 06:43 PM']Cheers for the feedback. Your right about the drums, they are the standard drum sound you get on the Boss RC2 Loopstation, we recorded the drums through my roland amp and then tried to make them sound a bit on the dirty side. Have you got a link for your stuff? Would like a listen.
Cheers again

i do a few things. I play bass in an heavy rock band. That stuff is on here in this recording section under- Opinions- i would like some opinions on my bands music.
i also sing in a bizarre comedy rock band that stuff is on myspace/bandofgold08
the individual composition stuff i do ranges from standard jazzy fusion stuff to bizarre almost unlistenable minimalist/maximalist. But none of that is ready for public consumption yet.

Good to hear something a bit different. I did something similar when at uni, but its was electro-acoustic (Art composition bollocks!). Yours is nice and melodic. Liked track one the best, don't know if drums were meant to be lo-fi but i liked it. Te last one on the page sounded a tad like jaco but was good.
People must have liked it cos you've had 38 listens and no criticism. people don't tend to leave any comments unless it criticism. I've had the same amount on mine but no comments.
Good work (don't mean to sound patronising)

[quote name='Jerry_B' post='799234' date='Apr 7 2010, 09:01 PM']Yes - thankyou, pedant [/quote]
Right on brother!

[size=3]i agree with Doddy. i got a five string bout 12 yrs ago. it took like a week to get used to and when i play for or five there is very little difference. i think people have the misconception its for metal or hard rock but its a musical addition. The purpose of any instrument is to fulfill its job sonically and arrangement wise. The five string definately has an advantage over the four. if you're in a three piece band you can make the band sound bigger by going lower. if you are in a band with keyboards, you can stay out of the way of the keyboards left hand so you don't creat any unwanted chords or dissonance in the low end. This also applies to big band and pit work. Its about how you use the instrument musically not technically. when, whilst playing a piece of music do you have to run up a 2 octave scale diatonically, almost never. its irrelevant, thats just for practising. personally i've never cared how many position shifts you do. Playing economically doesn't matter. all that matters is you play the right note at the right time.[/size][/size]

Here are some recordings from a band i am in, Mongo. feel free to comment on anything. recording quality, performance, individual instrument performance and tone etc..

Looks like a no/low fuss solution at a reasonable price.

Does it perform well, though? Or is the quality going to be no different to jacking straight into your mic port?

I'm not after true pro-quality, just something I can plug into the lap-top and use to capture bits of noodling with. I've found going into the mic (via a Tascam bass-trainer) to be pretty rubbish - so if this is going to get me a better sound then I might just go for it...

Anyone got one? Any opinions?

Ta!

I've got a Line6 UX1. it cost £100 and its awesome. you get quality pro sounds out of it. there are effects, amp simulators, you can set a theoretical mike distance from a cab to get a roomy tone, etc. you get riffworks and another recording package. suitable for noodling. but i got sequel2 for £80 and you can do pro sounding stuff. need a min gig of ram on computer tho or you get latency issues. but for total of £180 its awesome. however like you said, if your just noodling the £100 for the UX1 will sort ya. Dawsons stock it
