    Thanks, I've just signed up! I'm a bit nervous about this - it's way outside my comfort zone but I'm determined to get my head around the more theoretical side of music and hopefully it'll take my reading skills to the next level.

    Not by one of the mods I hope? I'm kind of surprised that when people ask for help and others offer to go over to help out in person that there isn't a response, but I've also posted questions myself and fogotten the thread for a few days because I've solved the issue. I always feel as if I've been unintentionally bad mannered but it's never intentional. I do like a happy ending though, so it would be nice if @proy900 did come back and tell us it's all up and running

Serial number 4071308 Check out the Westone website as it holds useful information. Different eras of this iconic bass but otherwise very much the same instrument (other than being fretless + active). This f/less bass has been converted from an originally fretted bass. There are the usual signs of pitting/wear to the original metallic hardware (SEE PHOTOS). Pots run smooth with no crackle currently when played. Knobs pitted and aged. There are signs of surface scratching and small dings etc. as photographed. instrument has a basic, somewhat tatty, generic hardcase. Price includes UK 24/48h courier delivery

    I'm downsizing my collection a bit, so up for grabs is my incredible Über Spec Finn 5 string by AC Guitars. This is the highest spec that ACG offer, with the most premium woods, the multicoil pickups and the full fat DFM filter preamp, with a passive tone knob. As with all my basses, this is 31.5" scale, which makes playing absolutely effortless, and due to the sound design and construction, there are literally noting but benefits to the shorter scale. Here's the details... Spec Level: Über 31.5" scale Bolt-on construction 24 frets 18mm string spacing 45mm nut width Katalox Top Cuban Mahogany Body Black Accent Veneer 5 piece Red Oak/Wenge Neck, with slim asymmetric carve Highly figured Pau Ferro Fingerboard with Sapwood, wit 0º radius, i.e. flat ACG MC pickups, Multicoils, handmade by Aaron Armstrong ACG DFM filter preamp with passive tone control and active/passive switching ACG/Hipshot Custom Bridge Gotoh Resolute Tuners Currently strung with fairly heavy Nickel D'Addario XLs, but it really shines with lighter gauge Newtone Nickels, something like 40 60 80 125TW, I might have a set kicking around to pop on. I don't know the exact weight, as I don't have proper means to measure it properly, but I'd say it's a medium weight bass, maybe 8.5 lbs or thereabouts? Certainly doesn't feel heavy. This really is an incredible instrument, but I'm ultimately more of a 6 string bassist first, then 4 strings, then 5 - I know, weird. A bass built to this spec today would cost the best part of £4000, and worth every single penny. This Finn is absolutely mint, not a mark on it, never been gigged, barely even left the house. Looking for roughly £2000, ono, with a TGI Extreme Gigbag. More than happy to courier within the UK, with insurance, at buyer's cost, I'd guess this would be about £30 based on previous experience. No trades thank you, sale only. Cheers, Eude More pics...

    Very serious professional kit - reassurance rather than overkill in my view. Lovely bit of no nonsense industrial design

    Yes I have the songs, or played by the band or others I can find then on YouTube. One of them I did it by ear but the others a bit faster and complicated I'm not able to do it in that way, I'm still not that good to play it by ear. I should find someone to help me out but even guys more expert than me I see they have difficulties to do it

    I don't think anyone who uses tab doesn't also have a recording of the song(s) in question from which they can get the rhythm. I'm of an age when very little pop or rock music was written down in any format and if it was, it was normally wrong. Therefore I'll usually work things out by ear as I always have done. IMO if a band wanted me to play a baseline exactly as it has been recorded then they also need to supply me with tab, notation or a recording of just the bass line. Otherwise they will have to make do with my interpretation of the part, which will be close but might not be 100% accurate.

    It just seems like good manners to acknowledge assistance that is offered. Guess I'm just old fashioned.

    Looks brilliant! I used to do a jazz session like this. We’d discuss a tune, explore the structure and the scales that could be used to solo. Then we’d run the tune and solo over the top. Was great fun. This seems really reasonable price, too.

    I used to roadie for a band called Buffalo in the 80's. The bass player had a Trace Elliot 8x10 combo. It was ridiculously heavy and awkward to move. Two of us once had to carry it up an external fire escape to the second floor to access the room they were playing. No one used to think about the weight of amps when designing them back in the day.

    I've been working on my sight-reading for a couple of years now and have been doing daily practice; however, I want to start applying it more and explore music theory further. I've found this course that looks really interesting: https://www.citylit.ac.uk/courses/pentatonics-and-beyond-improvising-in-popular-music I'm going to push the button but wondered if anyone had any experience of this kind of thing?

    I got exactly the same response from my electronics guru friend when I suggested he comes along with some of his home-made valve amps. Mind you I doubt he'd want to do a talk, but it is fun looking inside these things with someone who has an oscilloscope and knows what all the parts do!
