I started having Double Bass lessons, which sorta helped. As well as playing a little piano. I can't Sight read (i assume sight reading is being able to play whilst reading) with notation, but I can with tab. I find it a lot easier if there's tab and Notation above it, that way i can use the notation for the timing, and tab for where to put my fingers, i have no problem looking at both things at once.
Anyone else like this? -

[quote name='Sibob' post='35259' date='Jul 21 2007, 03:10 PM']Tell your Stepdad that Jazz's can be just as cheap as Precisions
The Vintage Modified series does look impressive for low bunce!
A precision isn't gonna give u a Timmy C or Flea sound........a Jazz will! Seeing as they both use them

That's what I thought, he seemed to think it'd suit my style more.
I'll bug him a little for it =]
Are Gibson bass's as bad as people make out? -
Thanks, i was looking at Fender Jazz's but they we're out of my price range (obv).
My stepdad think's id be more suited to a precision. Do Squire do them?
and I never realised squire did Bass's as well as guitars (i have a stratocaster Squire) -
Thankyou, I hope to become active and i'll contribute what I can ^_^

I'm 15 years old, only been playing bass for a year and a bit.
I'm on my way to buying a third bass, but looking around the £200-£300 price range.
My parents have agreed to buy me one for christmas
Are there any reccomendations?
My playing styles are Mainly Funk + Metal (aka RATM + RHCP).
I prefer 24 fret to 19 but obviously i'm willing to sacrafice for the better model's.
plus, tips on buying will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance. -
Hey, my names Ash. Let me tell you a bit about myself
I'm 15.
Live in birkenhead
I've been playing bass since April 2006 so not very long
Most of the people I've met either call me a natural or assume i've been playing for several years so i think i'm quite good (being very un-modest there )
I currently have 2 Bass's (soon to be 3)
A Ray Pierce 19 Fret.
A Stonewood 24 Fret.
My practice amp is a Drive 20 Watt
My Gigging amp is an Ashdown 350 Watt
My playing styles are a cross between Metal and funk (think RATM meet RHCP). It produces some wierd (not always nice) sounds, however it brings a sense of individualism to my playing. I do, however enjoy music in general, and would be perfectly happy playing in a Jazz group.
I was in a band from December '06 till July '07 but sadly had to quit since i moved over to birkenhead. I'm hoping to set up a band around here too.
I've only ever done 2 gigs, so i guess that leaves me a little inexperienced.
My other main instruments (in order of skill) are
Singing.
Electric Guitar.
Keyboard.
Double bass.
Euphonium.
Tabla (indian drums).
According to peers, I'm quite fast + Accurate but i miss flowing between notes, if anyone would kindly provide exercises I could to to help that. dont hesitate.
Any more questions I will be more than happy to answer.
And for those wondering, I spilt toffee yogurt on the very first bass i picked up, which earned me the nickname "Toffee"

This looks superb!! I'm only in Birkenhead (liverpool) so It's a few train journeys away. I'm definatly going, may bring my Girlfriend too (who is a fellow bassist).
I'm all worked up now
