I'm re-quoting this for clarity, well said.
It's my day off and I know you all can take good care of each other as I tend to my modest castle.
Respect for each other and minding what we all post is always worth considering, we don't realize it but, I can assure you (yikes, my inner Colonel Klink) that the TB moderators visit our thread and all forum rules apply here.
I feel bad for the TB Mods that have to go through this thread on a busy day.
I didn't say you couldn't have an opinion.
As I recall, you're the one who said I shouldn't express my opinion of the video maker's (crappy) technique.
And I say nuts to that.
LRRG's bass covers of various songs are good sounding.@Sartori - could you point me to one or more YouTube demos that demonstrate a Ric tone well? Maybe one comparing a 4003 to 4004 ?
(PM me if that is more appropriate. I would have asked in that other thread but it's been locked.)
Never touched one, genuinely interested in hearing one properly demoed.
(I'm Zero chance of getting one at Oz prices.)
I recorded upright parts for both albums.
On the first they're quite hard to hear. They'll be a bit more prominent on the second.
The main bass used on the first album was a heavily modified Peavey.
It's pretty commonly understood that extreme wrist angle while playing leads to more stress on your joints and so forth. That's what makes it bad technique... that it can lead to damage.
Also given how crap his tone is, it's not surprising.
Yes.
Exactly.
None of anyone's business, as a matter of fact.
Cool audio sample, thanks for posting! I'd definitely say my Silverburst sounds very similar to the Les Paul, really cool sound. Interesting to hear the contrast between it and the Gibson bird. I'm assuming maybe the Chinabuckers would be a little brighter and clearer than the Gibson bird but not as bright as the Les Paul?
If I was going to have a dog .. and that's a BIG if ... a Golden Retriever would be high on the list of acceptable breeds. Probably a Whippet or Border Collie would be the winner though.
I can't comment on the Chinabuckers as I have never tried them. To my ears none of my 3 Gibson Birds sound as muffled as the one in the clip but when I had an LP Standard bass it sounded like the LP in the video. As with all basses there are nuances that make them all sound different even to their similar siblings.
Haven't tried Chinabuckers.
Thunderbuckers are pricey, but are very nice sounding. Bright but not harsh.

Lots to say about a lady in a picture. Sometimes I feel Ive overstepped the boundary of acceptable commentary with my drunken high wit and wisdom after Ive posted but............not anymore.
Dudes referring to women as "females" always make me think of this:Yeah... I know when I'm lookin' for the marryin' type, I always keep my eyes toward the side of the road, watchin' for a trashy female spreadin' her legs across the front of a cop car. You can always trust them to exercise good judgment
Yeah, Labradogs, Gold Retrievers are always high on my list. Though Beagles, French Bulldogs, Irish Terriers and the like are on my hit parade. Oh ad the Jack Russell Eddie like in Frasier.
But no more pets for me after this little one departs. Saying that I've probably just guaranteed I'll get another!

Not puppies
Such sweet kitties!
After being a "dog person" for most of my life, I've had my Kitty for a bit over two years now, she's just the love of my life.

Not so keen on dogs but I like cats, this is my mother's, asleep at the back of her chair
Well after 2 years of full on looking after my mum she is having to go to a nursing home next week as we can no longer give the level of care she needs (getting towards 24 hours a day now). Not a nice feeling letting your mother be taken away despite it being for the best; it will be even stranger being able to do things again without having to find cover for her, going to take a bit of time to readjust.
So after all that there I'll be jobless and skint, we'll have to sell the house and buy somewhere smaller. I'm unlikely to get another job at my age so I will resurrect my tools and get making some stuff again, what will depend on the size of workshop I can get but hopefully furniture of a limited size and a bass or two if I can find any market.

These decisions are never easy and I've no doubt you've done all that you could. Best of luck to you, Colin in your future endeavors.
