I never really thought about it. Each of my basses are set up differently, so I play them as is. For me, it is just for looks. And some without.

I liked that vest.

The "worst" bass I have is the Yamaha SBV 500. It sounds incredible, is light enough to enjoy, and looks good on stage. The neck is so narrow it plays like a guitar, and the intonation is spot on across the board. It is the worst because it has no top horn to hide my gut.

I will give it a shot. From earliest that I have a photo of to the most recent.

Those old Randy Jackson gold strings. They looked amazing. But come the second set, they had lot their brightness. By the end of the third set, the gold was gone as well.

Some gigs in China before the "situation."

It is hard to fire someone. But it seems that he did not want to be a part of it past a certain level. Like was mentioned earlier in the thread, some people don't really want to be successful in this business. I once had to fire Steve Jones, brother of Phil Jones of Phil Jones pure sound that...

Why have a producer at all? Just hire someone to run the board for you. Then you have it exactly the way you want it. That way there is no objective ear with an outside perspective. After all, you are making music for just yourselves, right? A bit overboard on my point, but we can be too...

Is this thread really 13 years old?

It is Wed in China, where are the pics?

First of all I must say, you Sir, have one fantastically awesome mustache. Well done! I look at the time and effort that goes into all of the productions on your page. That is a lot of work in the audio recording and in the video production. You have more than a quarter million hits, so people...

So in other words, they were going with a known quantity. They have no idea how a Fodera would feel, play, or sound, so they did not take a chance on the unknown. Being familiar with a Fender as something that they know and like, they choose it. Where is the flaw in that logic?

The guy I was responding to definitely has a problem with Little Johnny and his first $200 bass. He gets a top end or he gets nothing. I have not seen it that I can remember, seems a bit odd to have 12 identical basses, but like I said earlier in a post, his money. And who lost a job when he...
