Any bassists?

Suninana

Hey, I play bass, and have a thing about bassists. Basically they're hot... Post pics if you have any

feylya

Eh, what?

John

This isn't the first time I've been propositioned in such a way.

6ix

wow, how strange! I am a bassist, and I was born the same day as Suninana. But not the same year.

Ok, its not so strange. :rolleyes:

I think 'she' is saying 'she' plays bass and thinks it is sexy and would like to know if there are any 'male' boards posters that play bass and if so will they post a picture of themselves.

I assuming the op is a gimp. Stop me if I'm wrong.

feylya

No, please, carry on.

The op?

Hmmm... pointless Instruments thread #19583

Try bands/musicians if you have something constructive to say about bassists... perhaps

Sorry Suninana, I assumed by your wink that you mean't in a flirty way the person and not the bass. *assumption is the mother of all f!*K ups*

Try this link: http://www.vintaxe.com/instruments_bassguitars.htm ... it should really float your boat.

I don't like pickups that try and "blend in". They should just look like pickups and not try any funny stuff. They're almost as ugly as EMGs.

I really want to try those optical bass pickups at some stage. Can't remember the website where I saw them though. Doc... you remember those, right?

Doctor J

Lightwaves, yeah. Some day I'd like to have a go of these too. They ugly though.

Here's me with my bass.

I think they look cool! I see they finally launched the guitar one. Definitely wanna try those out at some stage.

Doctor J

They sent me a pic of a real one... I have it here somewhere...

bounty_hunter

My favourite bass

*strokes flatwounds*

The others aren't photomagraphable at the moment, but they're an old American Fender P. and a Tanglewood Rebel 4K.

Yv

me with my bass.
it's an aria, don't even know the name of the model, but it plays really well so i don't care

That the side ways pickup? Where the coils are turned 90 degrees from where they normally are?

Ah, so that's the fretless eh? Must try that some time. You never told me you had a Tanglewood :eek:

Indeed, see for yourself

feylya

Yeah, I know, I opened the attachment but I was just asking for clarification. Sure, it's only 10am, don't expect me to know stuff...

Yes I did.

*heartattack* I FOUND A DENT!

feylya

Oh. Probably wasn't listening...

A dent? In what?

Do you ever? :rolleyes:

In the body of my fretless.

feylya

Sorry, what was that?

Ah, it adds character. Or something...

bounty_hunter

It adds an unnecessary hole, that's what it adds.

Terrible picture of Tanglewood.

feylya

Dunno about the bass but jesus, that carpet ROCKS!

bounty_hunter

Ah, you'd like it in "real life". It's unbelievably light (compared to the Fenders anyway, especially the fretless), you can pick it up and swing it around (not that I've done that...)

And that carpet is a ****ing nightmare, everything sticks to it.

feylya

Indeed. IRL.

I must take a few pictures of all my gear... Handy to have.

bounty_hunter

I want this


and possibly this...

There was a picture of it in a bass at some point that looked really cool. It may have been unfairly aided by lighting or strategically placed LEDs, mind you.

I think I'll have a pair for my Warmoth Bass... whenever I find myself rolling in money.

feylya

I know a guy over on the PG forums put them on his bass. I'll go find the link.

They look very plasticy...

Doctor J

Agreed, they look crap to me, totally ruin the look of that instrument (along with the stumpy headstock too). If I ever need bass pickups again I'll be going to Christoph Dolf... again

feylya

Aye, not a fan of the head on that but the body wood is gorgeous!

Wouldn't mind a nice piezo bridge on a bass though with 2 jazz pickups and a P bass pickup. EMG's of course... A nice 4 string I think.

JacoStanley

I like my bass. It is so nice. Just bought Level 42 at the RockPalast. 3 hours of early enough Mark King. Hopefully might even be playing his alembic. I'll give it a watch.

Doctor J

Only four stings, eh?

Not a fan of those Alien Ant Farm type nerd-metal basses. Not really a fan of any guitar design post about 1970. Why **** with magic as the man said.

Some people would believe so. Not personally but he's one of my favourites.

I'd look stupid with a 6 string cause I'm so small. Even a vintage jazz looks incredibley big on me.

Doctor J

Ahhh come on Gary, yer grand, it's not like you're one of the wee folk

You should see me playing guitar


The Modulus is bigger than the Jazz Deluxe isn't it?

Wait... that's those optical pickups. I was still talking about the Q-Tuners. I have to agree, that bridge looks like ****.

It kinda feels smaller. A very comfortable play for me. The first fret seems like a mile away though.
