The Bassist and Guitarist thread

[raleighnut]

We're playing The Cock in Roade on the 17th September, if any Poshshire or MK CC'ers want to come and throw their Y fronts at the stage.

FTFY

Geddy Lee signature jazz bass ahoy!

Thought this might amuse some of us

In the studio with the band tonight. A nice outing for the Harley benton MB4.

I was thinking of getting this T shirt, I don't think many people will get it!

I have a similar one with the same slogan.

By the power of Greyskull!

Geddy Lee signature Jazz has arrived. Music Radar reckon it's the best bass anywhere for a grand, and it certainly feels svelte. Just waiting for the flats I've ordered to arrive.

Very nice! Beware of heavy flats, though, as these have very skinny (front-to-back) necks. I killed the original neck on my Precision doing that...

Aye, ive gone down from 105s to 100s, regular tension, so shouldn't suffer. Ive not taken a tape measure too it but it doesnt feel any slimmer than my G&L Jazz.

Good move. The G&Ls have very strong necks, although they don't do the Bi-Cut style that Leo originally designed for them.
Edit: it's actually the G string that hits the neck hardest, so I try always to get 40-100s rather than 45s.

It looks very nice, but haven't you already got 80+ basses?

 

[Drago]

Mrs D tutted and asked me how many basses I can play at once.

"Nine", was my immediate reply.
