As I've got (slightly) more competent on the stagg and the double bass I've noticed the things like the rests less, same as finding the right spot to get the double bass against the knee, I guess it just comes over time. After my last lesson with Jake on my Gedo I have now found the problem of the other rest on the stagg being in the way for the transition into thumb position, I'm not going to be in thumb for a long time but Jake had got me up to F and a practice piece ending on the G both hard on the stagg because of the little rest being too high up.

Anyone had a curly wurly lately? They are neither curly nor wurly anymore, just a series of triangles,wtf.

Easily the best you tube clips aren't they, I have learnt loads from them.

It's not cheaper if you use better materials and spend more man hours building them.

Oh dear you lot do realise your parents said all this when you were young! It was all fields around here, bag of chips was ten pence, waggon wheels were as big as your head etc etc etc

That document is quite confusing as it shows the earth going through the RCDs on the diagram, your first impressions were right imo FF, unless you know what you are doing banging stakes in is pointless, for example and I wont bang on too much, a crap ext reel of 25m plugged into the mains indoors will probably give you an earth reading of lets say 3.50 ohms which would be quite poor I agree but an earth stake using the ext reel live as one conductor (R1) as a fixed given and this temporary stake as the return (R2) would be very unlikely to be less than 200 ohms, probably more like 500 so the flow to earth is still going to take the ext reel path as its much less resistant, if that makes sense? Generated power is different because YOU are providing the earth at the stake put in near the gene, your stakes around the site then use the actual grounds conductivity to flow back to the main stake, earth itself is a confusing term because the electricity only flows to earth on a fixed electrical supply because the energy suppliers have put earth plates in the ground at each sub station. Easiest way just use an RCD on the front of each reel, if 30mA of electricity does not return via the neutral it turns off regardless of where it went that it shouldn't have

[quote name='E sharp' timestamp='1408395264' post='2529833'] I'm probably in the minority , and gonna get slated - but this racket , is pretty much how I hear most of Led Zep . I've just never 'got' them at all . At least with this vid , they're nicer to look at [/quote] I agree

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1408392878' post='2529801'] I didnt get to the bow, awful noise like someone that has just been given a wah pedal for the first time [/quote] I never got as far as vocals either, lol

I like her and think she is hot when she isn't gurning but I was trying to think what it was that I had seen recently that she reminded me of....anyone seen the brand new transit vans in the larger sizes?.....

Naturally every other band will have a lefty drummer and some bassists will want to stand on the opposite side to where you have put the amp and di box because "I always stand that side"......

I have heard your clips Bilbo, if you are ninth I am about the millionth!

I'm no expert but two fingers (the sides) is the norm afaik, check out the right hand technique lesson from Geoff

How many fingers are you using on the stagg then?

They feel like little toys dont they!

Upright is the way forward, people love the stagg at gigs too but it does feel like starting all over again. Have you started looking at double basses yet?

It will take a few weeks for your joints to get used to the new playing position, little and often is best to start with imo. Welcome to the stagg club

Just coming from the Cort factory means nothing either as they make a whole range of stuff from firewood upwards, they are a terrible company to work for too according to some of the stories so if you are the sort of person that is concerned about the factory staffs well being cort stuff is not for you! http://cortaction.wordpress.com/workers-stories/

Even as a die hard ebmm fan I would have to say the Lakland Skylines are more of a match to a usa ray than you are giving them credit for, the proper Laklands being a step up from a proper ebmm imo.

maybe your hands have grown since then

[quote name='drTStingray' timestamp='1408273007' post='2528451'] You could get a Stingray SLO special (regular US Stingray with narrow neck like the Sterling). Even rarer though! [/quote] I think people get used to a wide nut or a narrow to start with then hanker after it on every bass, I either like a bass or I dont, some are wide and some are narrow, some are thick and some are thin.

[quote name='SammyDamacy' timestamp='1408284772' post='2528591'] Yep, not a CA, I'll get my coat! [/quote] So a standard width nut just like a regular stingray after all then!
