I've had good luck with Andertons, Thomann and Bass Direct. They don't show them in stock but have all been responsive when asked for special orders in past.

Sorry but this is more than a bit silly. You think that band practice should be more important, or at least as important, as a family emergency? So I'm in a bar band and I should prioritize it the same as when my dad is being checked into the hospital with a heart attack? (Happened with a...

Meh.

A recipe for success if I ever heard it. Add some broccoli for extra punch on those small stage gigs.

No worries. It's just that the same phrasing is often used to mean more what I wrote in my post, usually by people who can't hear tonal differences between players much less basses.

Luckily, TB wisdom has our back and they needs must sound identical as the same person was playing both of them. Be careful not to assume that they could sound different in any way so that you don't run afoul of conventional wisdom.

Given current car prices, I doubt that.:smug:

There's a "flickering lights" photo I want to post explaining why fonts matter...however if I do I'll get a warning...so I won't.

One of my buddies in the Milwaukee area is looking to fill out his R&B band (gigs are on the books) and needs a good bass player who can hold a tight groove most of the time but step out and show off when necessary. Please contact me if you are interested and I'll share more details and put you...

I'm not sure I have the right meaning but honestly to me, it means that you have a signature in your playing that comes through regardless of instrument but that each instrument can give a slightly different flavor that adds some different nuance to that signature. That I can truly agree with...

Aw c'mon. We all know it's talkbass wisdom that these 2 tracks sound identical because there's no way to sound different in any way if the same person is playing them. We all know they are identical because "they sound like you." You're welcome. [/sarcasm]

When I was gigging I made most of my mistakes when the guitar player didn't have the capo in the right place. I'm really impressed by the well reasoned responses in this thread so far. Yes, the perfect song, set or gig is possible. However, it is rare even for the elite professionals I have...

Well, that would be perfect if you were the bass player for Tommy Gunn...(no, not that Tommy Gunn, I meant the musician ya sicko). I'll see myself out.
