That looks cool!!! - it kind of has a similar vibe to your jazzmaster doesn't it. With a translucent mat finish etc

I've got the combined noise of my wake up alarm and a shopping trolley with a stuck wheel to go with it.

Re: Anyone like bass guitars?
Cashconverters have a better range of cheap basses than Trademe atm. Not sure if they ship though. I would pick up the MTD P-bass they have listed if didn't already have the same model. Chuffed with mine. Do want MTD J-bass to round out the set

Anyone play with a pick apart from wannabe guitar players like me? I really like the tone I get with a thick guitar pick

Re: Anyone like bass guitars?
I use both, some songs sound wrong without a pick and vice versa. And some songs I play with both - pick in the chorus, fingers during verse.jeremyb wrote:Anyone play with a pick apart from wannabe guitar players like me? I really like the tone I get with a thick guitar pick
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Anthony Jackson on the O'Jays " For the Love of Money" is a great Bass Guitar with plectrum track.

Re: Anyone like bass guitars?
Interestingly for me I found the tonal change on the bass was very pronounced compared to guitar with changing picks!

Plectrum width is also to be considered with String Gauge
Btw check out Carol Kaye pick tutorials some good things there

Re: Anyone like bass guitars?
Bobby Vega is a genius with a pick.
Check out “I get high on you” by Sly Stone.
The Carol Kaye recommendation is an excellent one.
For bass everything seems more pronounced when you change it.
Strings make an outrageous difference just between brands - I’m DR fan with round wounds - Sunbeams for Precisons, Fat Beams for Jazz Bass, Hi-Beams for Stingray. D’Addario Chromes for flatwounds.
