I've been looking for exercises for all Areas of bass as I only snatch half an hour here and there at the moment. The article has an encouragingly relaxed tone and you describe the aim of each exercise precisely without being long winded. Thank-you for a great post ,this will help me become more satisfied with my bass playing ability.

Thanks guys, its kinda how I expected, i'll have to wait a couple months but i'll keep an eye on what sort of amp sells second hand for what money until then. Lots of people like the micro cube, does a 10cm speaker deliver all the way down to a low B? Wanting a 5 string before long. Thanks for the words on your chain Bassnut, makes a little more sense now, lots of people talk about compressors like they're a game changing effect, subtle is good i guess.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could buy to enhance my slap sound? I played through my freinds 10" ashdown Today and was blown away by how much more percussive my slaps sounded. All I have to my self is a typical little £20 practice amp. While i've done alot on electronic signals at uni i'm very new to music and find it hard to work out which effects will aquire what I want. I've heard people talk about limiters and compressors in relation to slap, but arn't they mostly to reduce the volume difference between slaps and pops? If anyone can give me a few tips about what they found useful then i can borrow my mates B2.1U dial some things in and work out what I'm going to buy/build. Thanks to anyone that helps out.

Hi basschatters, i've been a ghost around here for a while so its about time I joined. I've been playing for about 6 months, learnt at first on my mates Fender Jazz but found the headstock too heavy and my hands too achey after playing. I now have a Cort Action Jr. as a beginner bass i'm loving it. My internet access is somewhat limited at the moment but as soon as things are sorted I should be a regular voice. I'm loving the bass customisation and DIY effects threads, tho I may be pestering for tips round the technique forum rather alot.
