  1. +1 on the Herco's. I started using them when I was playing guitar and have continued using them on bass.

    Yepper, even Adam uses them. Here's a piccy. You can see one wedged in the pickguard at the ready. (Most of his bass guitars have one wedged there.)

    So do I. (Adds to the "authenticity". )

  4. Definitely, I've just tried to make do with what I have until I can get some decent income lol.

    Re. picks, I haven't got any Hercos or Herdim but I've found Joey Dunlop pickups (I have 2, one 66mm or so and one 88mm) are pretty good substitutes. Have been playing Bad for the last 2 days on shit pickups and a relatively cheap FX setup but still getting that classic Edge vibe (and yeah, I just leave my Strat. on the bridge/middle setting because the bridge pickup is far to fuzzy and thin lol - that's what cheap and cheerful gets you!)

    Gotta love that bass... It looks so appealing and natural...
  7. Expensive?? What u're talkin' 'bout, ma'am? A Fender bass, expensive? You must be kidding me, dude... xD

  8. That's not a Fender bass, it's a Lakland lol...hence he was saying they're expensive
  9. An American made Lakland costs almost twice as much as an American made Fender. When I save enough up I'll have to decide whether to with a Japanese Lakland is as much as an American Fender or an American Fender.
  10. Oh fuck I meant Lakland of course, hence the joke... I know that basses are expensive, they're among the most expensive instruments of the world if I recall right. Only a few Gibsons and Ibanezs cost even more...

    *cough* Stradivarius cellos *cough cough*

    I'd be willing to bet they fetch similar prices lol...


  12. One of my favorite episodes of The Simpsons had Homer pulling a violin out of a box at a garage sale look at it saying "Stradi-who?".
