Bass_god_offspring Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Since when has financial & marketing success been the measuring stick for artistic merit? Come on, BGO. You should know better. lol, always. i was just saying that even if he wasn't that talented, he's gotta be doing something right to be making that much money, musicially or not. Besides, even if i hate a musician to death, i don't make fun of there talent if they are successful...that is unless of course they have done something to make me dislike them in another way, hahahah. -BGO 5 words you should live by...

Gab Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Originally posted by justinruins: Anyone ever see or try the Victor Bailey Jazz bass? It looked sweet, but I'm a broke ass. I have actually seen and heard it in concert 2 times already. It looks hot and sounds even hotter (with Victor playing it). But he always has this midrangey setup, so i wonder how it would actually sound with a flat or scooped EQ. That bass definitely belongs to the 'Good Signatures' category.

The Ramones weren't great musicians, they never wanted to be, they rocked their socks off, and did it very well, and to me, that is better than knowing everything there is to know about playing a bass, music isn't about that, it's about venting your feelings it's about having the best time ever with the best people ever, and if you are doing the best, who cares how well you play?

Stackimo Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 I had mentioned in another thread that I found the Jaco replica to be extremely rediculous. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/src=SearchDex/search/detail/base_pid/510539 Oh, and thank you to BGO for giving the backround on the Hoppus Bass. And by the way, if you take a Standard Jazz at $475.00. Then add a Seymour Duncan Basslines SPB-3 Quarter Pound Precision Bass Pickup which retails at $65. Yes, you will be saving $20, but you will be missing the cool colors offered by the Hoppus and you won't be able to say it's a Hoppus signature. "Some people are like "slinkies".

jcadmus Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Then there's always my own Fender Jcadmus Signature '78 Jazz Bass -- block inlays, white binding, rosewood fingerboard, tri-color sunburst finish, "skunkstripe" neck, stock pickups, tortoise shell pickguard, chrome knobs, extra string tree for the "A" string, Leo Quan Badass II bridge, custom brass nut. They just made the one, though. "Tours widely in the southwestern tip of Kentucky" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremy c Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 josh a,we're just pulling your chain, don't take it too seriously. I was originally responding to the poster that said that one bassist was in a pop punk band as opposed to being a seasoned punk player. If you can play the instrument, I don't care what kind of band you are in, or what the audience looks like. Now back to your regularly scheduled discussion of signature basses. I like the Reggie Hamilton signature Fender. He's another top bassist with very little name recognition. Free download of my cd!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
