Re: Anyone like bass guitars?
I came into the ownership of an old Ibanez Blazer on the weekend. High action, strings only a couple years younger than the dinosaurs. Looking forward to having a decent bass around the house.

Pretty sure I don't . I've actually just bought one of these beasts this week on TM
I climbed on the back of a giant albatross which flew through a crack in the cloud to a place where happiness reigned all year round and music played ever so loudly

Ah well, back to the grinder for the time being for me then
I saw that. In much better shape than this one !
I’m just going to put p bass pickups in this as I never really liked the mudbucker thing.

Tend to agree, but will tidy it up and re-assess.StrummersOfThunder wrote: ↑Wed Nov 08, 2023 8:46 amAh well, back to the grinder for the time being for me then

I think they were mostly used in the construction industry to level buildings or in some cases, small townships.

Re: Anyone like bass guitars?
This is my new guilty pleasure

She’s an Australian bass player and vocalist.
She posts instagram reels of her doing bass covers, we’ll play alongs. Plays some really cool stuff. I love the Marcus Miller snd Chuck Reiney content she does (steely Dan/fagan)
Enjoy !

Pretty happy with how I got the acition. The low tension strings helped alot.

10:30 start so an hour - hour and half on bass this morning
As I’ve aged I have really enjoyed early morning practice
It’s almost like a different part of the brain

14th consecutive 12/14 hour day. I'm exactly halfway through my swing, so 14 days to go. Very full on, highly dynamic work environment to boot.
