  1. Past hour
  2. Essentially, you need to be good enough to be worth the hassle. The drummer in my band doesn't drive, but is both less than 10 minutes away, and ridiculously good so I have no issue at all. Similarly, I'm in a van so no chance of wrecking the interior. You're expecting someone to add considerably to their evening. Jam nights and rehearsals should be ok as amps would be there. Gigging is another matter entirely.
  3. Will be in touch if my Cort Elrick sells and it’s still available … J
  4. EBMM Stingray is 17.5mm bridge spacing. Ibanez SR basses are 16.5mm

  6. Listen, recognise patterns, play, repeat. Depending on the gig, I might write charts.
  7. I have a couple of old Wem Westminster amps and love them for bass. I saw Richard Hawley on the Coles Corner tour last night and he was using both a Dominator and an earlier Watkins Westminster (with onboard tremolo) on stage. Sounded great. These amps are very capable and last for ever!
  8. Very good point. This is so common issue, if the drummer hasn't got a metronome. I bought a metronome to our drummer, and it is far easier to play gigs. He did a (long) list of songs and has written tempos to every song. Tama RW30 costs £30 and setting the tempo is quick.
  9. Nice. Played both over the last couple of years with Katy Hurt. Next time I’ll drag you along 😀
  10. Great! I’ve just brought the book too. I’ll have a look for the PDFs. Thanks
  11. Whenever I hear harmonics on the bass, they always seem to lift the bass line and create a feeling of space with their ethereal quality. Amongst other things, Jaco was the master of harmonics and he used them softly and sometimes aggressively to match the vibe of the song. From his 'bell-like' natural harmonics in 'Portrait Of Tracy,' to his false harmonics in 'Birdland', he really stretched the limits of the bass guitar. I've made a lesson to help get you started with playing harmonics, they aren't too technical, unless you're attempting to play Portrait Of Tracy, or playing false harmonics high up the neck, in which case you're gonna be in the woodshed for sometime!

  12. Trousers, jeans or such like and no belt.
  13. I own 3 BF112's and use 2 on 99% of my gigs. I run the amp at the same volume no matter how many cabs I use, but IMO 2 just sound better.
  14. while testing It would be rude not to try all 4 at the same time wouldn’t it?
  15. Considering keeping this as another option for gigging now. It is taking up extra space in my study since I got my main rig back, but I have kind of got used to that since putting up the ad.
  16. Never underestimate the power of branding.

  19. Dunlop super bright medium scale 5 string set (nickel wound ) Bought in error won’t fit my 34” scale length basses unused £20 inc uk postage cheers J
  20. A Barefaced 1x12 however... I have two (and should sell one!). I have only ever used both cabs in anger once and more often than not am being asked to rein it in by the rest of the band
  21. Is your bass also a five string, may I ask?
  22. So much electrickery, so much craft. I do like someone who makes a tidy job of the bits that never get seen yet are the essence of the whole.

A solid workhorse bass that wont let you down, in near perfect condition, features a 5 piece maple/nato bolt on neck, 45 degree string through body design, passive split coil and single bar pickups, with toggle switch tone and volume controls. Trades considered, Fender Mustang, G&L Fallout...what have you got ? Specs: Nut Width: 40mm String Spacing: 19mm Scale Length: 34" Weight: 3.94kg
