+1!!!!!!

I also heartily recommend "The Somberlain" by Dissection (all 17 pages of it), just for being a piece of absolute, unsurpassable musical genius.

Just got my j-bass pickups from Ellis. Great service, kept me up to date all the time.

You can do deals wiith confidence!!!!

Thanks very much!

When I lived in Bristol, I had lessons from Graham Southcott.

I found him to quite good and not particularly expensive, either.

I very rarely have to touch my amp apart from levels...maybe a tad for a difficult room.

I'll know when messing around at home that the strings are losing it.
Depending on the make of string, anything from around 4 weeks on..but entirely down the my ears.[/quote]


I like that approach - after spending two hours dicking around with my sans amp settings at practice, it must be time for a string change....

As per the topic title?

I just wondered how often people on here change their strings, after being slated at practice this weekend for having three year old strings on my P-Bass.

I've always thought that if they sound/feel good, leave them well alone, but I'm open to being convinced the other way if there's a tangible sound/playing pleasure benefit....

I'm loving the sansamp I've got. Massive bonus not having to lug my rig 45 miles to practice every week!

Shhhh....don't tell my girlfriend!

Hi all,

I just found this rather cool board and thought I would sign up and get involved.

Anyways, about me.....I've been playing bass for about ten years now in various Bristol bands, after playing various other instruments when I was younger I feel like the bass is my spiritual home. I'm currently rocking out to drum track withh my old bandmates.

In terms of Guitars, I have a Mexican P-bass (no idea what year), a 2007 Ibanez Artcore, a Ibanez SR886 I should really get rid of as I'm notgood enough to do justice to the six strings and an (allegedly) Fender J rather fetchingly finshed in Subaru blue.

I let it all ring out through a Behringer BX4500 and a 4x12 cab.

Anyway, glad to find the site and be here!
