gafbass02 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) Ok so im shooting a video with loungefly this weekend for our song 'lap it up', and of course rather than 'what shall I wear' or 'aaarrgh my skins really bad at the moment!' My first thought is 'What bass am I gonna use?!?' Now my sonic blue jazz is the bass most people have associated with me over the years so i feel like thats the one i should use, but its the colour, I LOVE it but im worried as the song is a bit punky I could come of all, 'I wanna be Mark Hoppus'. ( I have taken the animal sticker off though) So then i thought my black n gold Geddy, it looks nice, its kinda shiny, but black is a bit dull. So the white jazz?, or Aria for some retro coolness, or the tatty 'relic' P bass replica, which i think might look cool, but is it too 'done'? and then its covers on/covers off time? You see my dilemma, so im putting the word out lol, which do you guys (and gals) reckon? Edited August 24, 2009 by gafbass02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasher80 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I'd go with the Geddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafbass02 Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) i tried to make it a poll, but my total lack of know-how ended with a fail! If a mod wants/can add one then go for it!! i suck! Edited August 24, 2009 by gafbass02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tait Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) the white jazz gets my vote. EDIT: although i wouldn't worry about coming across looking like a mark hoppus wannabe with the blue one unless you plan on wearing a t-shirt with three quarters and jump around the stage and stuff like mark hoppus does. also, people picture him more with the pink bass. the blue would be my number 2 vote, but that white jazz is tasty! EDIT 2: i've changed my mind, i'm liking the blue one more and more. Edited August 24, 2009 by Tait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Blue one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyJay Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) The blue Jazz. I love sonic blue. If you happen to have a tort scratchplate knocking about I'd be tempted to stick that on for the video. Edited to add: I just noticed your black Jazz has a tort scratchplate! Mix and match.

Clarky Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 The Blue one. Great colour, its a different model to the one Hoppus plays and its your sig bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafbass02 Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 Shoots on this coming Sunday, the song is fairly aggressive but still pop, were shooting in a posh restaurant, prob in a similar theme to our recent pics and stuff, heres a comparison shot of the basses.

iamapirate Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) whichever sounds best!! Seriousl this should've been posted in gear porn. I like white Jazz - cos I've got a pearl one and they make one of my legs get longer... Actually I prefer the look of the black jazz - simply because of the fretboard.

Bassassin Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Aria ftw. The Js are all sweet but they're "just Fenders", after all. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Aria for me too, a bit different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Use which ever one YOU and the rest of the band think looks best. The only thing I would add is make sure it's one that's comfortable to wear for a long time. When the SugarBox video was made we had to run through the song about 20 times being shot from 2 angles on each take. I was like doing a double-length set composed of only our most energetic songs! Think about how knackered you are after the average gig and double it because that's what it will be like! Oh if you do something particularly outrageous that catches the director's eye be prepared to have to do it again in every take... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILD FROG SHOT Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 White Jazz! I reckon it fits in better if you're going with the same theme as the images you've got on myspace. Let us know how you get on and when we can watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisba Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Might seem like a silly question... What are you going to wear ? Is that decision more important than which bass ? If so... Scruffy jeans and old t-shirt - The relic P White tie and tails - the white Jazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
