40-41" is a pretty standard 3/4 string length, and should be pretty comfortable to play. There's not really a defined size for double basses but the Zellers are pretty good value. If the price is right I would go for it.

Should probably add I bought Finbar's Conklin 7 string a while ago and completely forgot to leave any feedback- was a great transaction with a lovely chap and wouldn't hesitate to do it all over again

Thanks guys

Just sold Simwells my Boss V-Wah- absolutely spot on to deal with, very prompt payment. Top marks all round

Do you mean the fingerboard beyond the end of the neck, above the octave G (where the 12th fret would be)? If so you're into thumb position which is a whole different ball game as far as left hand technique goes- you would really be best to see a proper DB teacher to make sure you don't get into a lot of bad habits right away.

You found that at the barras!!???!?!? Nice!

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='310888' date='Oct 20 2008, 11:20 PM']Is there a 2 ohm class D out? I thought that they run too hot at that load... or perhaps am I completely wrong?? Why would you want two independent inputs? This is interesting stuff...[/quote] I have a Class D power amp which is certainly safe to 2 ohms and possibly even further.

Indeed, passive with tone and volume for each pickup. Decent basses, I have the 5 string version which I got for a ton on eBay. Needs a refret I think as I can't get the action low enough for my taste, but a better B string than most basses in that range I have tried.

Good bits- I'm quick enough to keep up with a stupidly fast drummer. I know enough theory to work out what's going on and explain it to the band members who don't get it. I'm good at "locking" with a drummer, or whatever else is providing the pulse. I've played The Rite Of Spring- after that, everything else seems pretty straightforward. Bad bits- My reading has lapsed badly recently, as has my upright playing. I can't do jazz properly, and chord charts freak me out. I probably like tapping far too much for most people's taste. I get loads of tension on my shoulders and arms sometimes (not exclusively bass related but that's when I notice it most).

You rock- Cynic are the dog's bollocks. Was that a one off show or are you doing more gigs with them? I'm looking forward to seeing them support Opeth next month if I can get a ticket.
