And another one

Have a look at the "AC1 rhythm Vox Bass", works off batteries or mains. I use one for practice and is handy having the built in drum machine.

Yep, another vote for number 1.

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1361828346' post='1991715'] The first 55 seconds were really good. It 'tailed off' somewhat after that... [/quote] Enjoyed the start, making notes to check the band out on u-tube, then Darth Vader's dad started ..................... rip page off pad and bin.

If you have a chance have a go on a Vintage (make) "Jaco" icon series jazz bass, bat well above their price, got one myself a it's a keeper. Come up on the bay s/h now and again usually £150.00 ish.

Same as above, had a set put on my jazz about 3 years ago and have had no problems at all.

If it was 1972 it was probably the Demons and Wizards album , with Gary Thain ( the late, great ) on bass. Is the track your on about Easy Livin? Edit spelling, cannot spell bloody "easy"

Done. Good luck.

THe late Gary Thain (Uriah Heep). I was a big Heep fan (still am) his playing was very so melodic and it just fitted the song a treat, I said I could do that, I'm still trying too.

Done, good luck.

Sunday afternoon / evening outside, hope the weather is kind.

All this talk about picks will drive the bloody price up. I will never be able to own a blue pick now. Edit for faulty keyboard, it carn't spell.

[quote name='Cygnus x-1' timestamp='1329683496' post='1545948'] Vintage Icon VJ96 fretless, superb for just over £200, even less used. [/quote] +1 got one myself, great value for the money. I even use it at gigs.

Mine crackles when you move it.

Another +1 for Guy Pratt, also the Glen Hughes autobiograhy is available from Amazon, had a quick flick through it, but not allowed to have it until Christmas day.

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1320604255' post='1428887'] I'm a jazz musician. What's applause? [/quote] If your a jazz musician we better start by telling you what an audience is.

I have put them on my bass about a year ago and they do work, got them off e-bay only £2 or £3 if I remember correctly. The first ones I put on did not last long before they came off, so I gave the next ones 3 or 4 coats of clear nail varnish and they are still on and working.

I applied for an audition from the musicans wanted board at the local music shop about 2 years ago, and I am still playing with them. There are always a few bands looking musicans etc on the board, might be worth having a look round the local music shops.

[quote name='thebrig' post='1305526' date='Jul 16 2011, 10:02 AM']Just over an hour ago, the postman delivered my wage slip, and to my delight, I have been given a £1,200 bonus which I was not expecting. I know that I should put it away for a rainy day, but I'm gassing like mad, [u]even though I really don't need any more basses.[/u]Maybe I should just put another "bitsa" together on the cheap, and put the rest away. What do you think guys/gals? By the way, the missus doesn't know yet, should I tell her? Help please![/quote] Pull yourself together man.... you can never have enought bass's. tut

White / white / rosewood My choice.

Chorus with overdrive a close second.
