    looking for lighter 'burpier' Fender Jazz

    It's not really down the the bass really I'd say, right hand position and mids have a lot to do with it. Take any bass, roll off all the tone so it smoothens out the sound, roll off the neck pickup and turn the bridge pickup all the way up, boost the mids and bass on the amp and play over...

    TC Electronic BH-250 review

    Hi TalkBass, it's been a while since I've left any comments on here - it's good to be back. I just picked up one of these along with a BC212 cab. It sounds great, very punhcy and very loud but certain aspects let it down for me which is why I parted with it. It's well built apart from the...

    Ampeg PF-350 Mega-Thread, V2.0

    Hi TalkBass, it's been a while since I've left any comments on here - it's good to be back. I've just picked up the Ampeg PF-350 head after sending back my TC BH250. The head looks great and sounds fantastic especially through my TC BC212. It sounds just like the PortaBass rig I had a few...

    Parker Fly Bass... Opinions?

    Haha, yeah, I know what you mean. Pleased I didn't go for it in the end. It's hard enough buying an instrument online even without that price tag. "I'm now looking for a passive bass with an ash body. Please get in touch if anyone has anything for sale"

    Parker Fly Bass... Opinions?

    Thanks for your comments people. I have given it a miss anyway, the hi-fi tone I believe they have has really put me off along with the large body and active pickups. I'm now on the look out for a nice bass with an passive electronics and and ash body. Please PM if you have anything along...

    The stigma of being a bassist.

    My mate at the drum shop thinks all bass players should have a large stomach to rest the bass on, and if the large stomach doesn't exist you're not really a bass player. Haha, he's thought that way for years. I can think of many more drummer jokes though :)
