  1. Meh, I still like the gold better.
  2. I bought a Cort Action Junior bass guitar for a friend last week. She is quite small and used to strumming acoustic guitar, so the short scale fits her very well.

    This bass guitar fits in a normal electric guitar gigbag. Sounds really good, too. Soft and full, not too much sharp attack. Nice toy for me, great instrument for her.

    Jack Bruce and Paul McCartney were playing short scale AFAIK, too.

  3. Jack Bruce and Paul McCartney are two great and very melodic playing bass players.

    Listen to the new Beatles remasters... particularly the MONO box set. WOW. Punchy sound and the bass and drums sound far superior (even in the Mono box) to the 1987 CDs.
  5. The snare drum and the cymbals in the Please Please Me record sound like it's the end of the world. Awesome.
  6. From June on, I HATE Fernandes. Not that they are bad guitars/basses at all, it's just that I miss our ol'n'little Explorer

    I know what you mean. I don't know why he's using the retro for this song, there's no sustaining involved, except I think at one part he simulates a kind of feedback with teh sustain. I also miss the guitar riff he played during the "I remember, when we could sleep..." that was so cool back in the day, i loved that changed guitar part from the album. I don't like the new one as much.
  9. He's using the Fernandes due to the sustainer pickups - which he's using for the aforementioned part during "I Remember..." bit.
  10. SILVER & GOLD.

    The "Silver Fox" (as the ladies like to refer to Adam) and his GOLD Les Paul Signature bass.

    There's plenty of sustain going on fella, whenever he's not playing the riff or at the end when he's ripping out the chords, he's whamming out some magic on the sustain pickup, adds a much darker feel to the song for me like the original album version.

    You are correct Sir.

    And there is nothing wrong with Edge experimenting and trying different things. Or at least not to me, there isn't

    As for the Explorer, he does use it in Beautiful Day... isn't like he doesn't bring it out...
